hi greetings from a fellow yorkshireman

I bought a used Gary Levenson Bass about 2 years ago, tonight I decided to remove the back plate to spray the pots etc and in the back I discovered A BATTERY when I bought it I did not know it was an active bass, which I assume it is, When I got it I contacted the company and they replied telling me when it was made etc but never mentioned it either, are all levenson guitars active Mike

Hi Rupert Welcome, I am from Nearby Queensbury Mike

Greetings Brothers of the Bass. Any one had experience of the Black Knight Cb 44 fl Fretless, unable to finb much about it anywhere.

Thanks Tom, That sounds fairly straight forwards for a starter

Any one here got any experience of using Zoom B21u to record Via Pc. with the Cubase. How is it done

Thanks will do,

After long deliberation I have ordered the Zoom B 2 1 U, so until it arrives (from Thomann) I am learning what I can about it. does anyone use the Cubase that seems to be included, what does it do and how do you use it,

Greetings Cameron, Welcome to the Basschat, I have been having lessons for about 4 months now, I am also looking for a suitable multi effects Pedal, think its going to be the Zoom B2 1 U, as its got everything I need like Usb, Drums, MP3 input to play along etc. Have a look at it. What made you start with a Five string ?

Just when I had decided on the Line 6 Floor Bass Pedal, they have been discontinued, (except at silly Prices) I have been looking now at the Digitech BP80 for just over £70, any one had any experience of that pedal

Great Playing and sound, also good video

Having decided I want a Zoom Effects pedal I have been looking at the differences Price wise and spec wise between the B2 with and without Pedal and the B1 With and without. Has any one got one, or had one and wished they had got the other The Price Difference is from about £60 to £109 which one is best value, will I use the USB if I get it ?

When I started Bass Lessons, I told the teacher, I dont want to take exams, I just want to learn to play. Then When I went for my first lesson, I discovered he was going to teach me BASS CLEF !.But I persevered and now I can read bass clef, Then Last week he said have you ever heard of rock school, heard a bit but did not know anything about it. Did I fancy having a look at the exam pieces. So Now I think, why Not have a go Anyone here Taken a Rock School Exam, how was it for you.

Thanks everyone for help in lightening the dark Mike

When I started lessons on Bass, I had never read Bass Clef before, I knew what the notes were, but not enough to sight read them.My Teacher started straight away with Bass Clef, which was a bit of a shock, but I decided to bite the bullet and learn it and now I am glad I did.

I have seen in this months Bass Magazine a photo of the tuning gear of the Manson John paul Jones Bass, there is a small lever as part of the Tuning Gear. I assume it alters the tension and allows it to return to correct Tension, I have seen players using something like this on Videos but not been able to hear what it does. I am sure you guys know

Hi and Welcome, my story is similar, played keyboards harmonicas and Mandolin etc for years, then discovered the bass at 62 and started lessons.

I have a Squire/Fender (it says both on the bass, in different places) and a pretty poor practice amp. Already learnt abit from this site and am finding it useful. Thankyou[/quote] Noswaith Da Spud
