Yup, at a concert with my band i got asked to play bass for a 10 year old band. Was great fun, and the sad thing was they got better recepted than mine did

i liked it

[quote name='Shawman' post='1204390' date='Apr 19 2011, 07:53 AM']it's called evolution [/quote] Agreed. Technacly the bass evolved from the upright and from the guitar Although i cant name any 5 string players. Other than when eric claptop broke a string...

i put one, as my lindo doesnt deserve the credit of being called "bass". And where do you guys store all these bass's?

im trying to get a endorsement with lindo, theyre last shipment of budget plywood was great And the necks are now almost playable. Gratz on the endorsement

+1 for ibanez. Great tones and lovely neck.

Bartolini Are fantastic in my opinion. If your feeling wealthy then have a look at glockengang (Did I spell it right? )

I got my BTB second hand so I'm not sure what's supposed to come with. Cracking bass's, you'l love it

Nice choice of gear there, BTB's are a personal favourite of mine And with finger style its all practice as said above. Try experimenting with anchoring your thumb on a pick-up or using the floating technique. I'm in the oposite position too you, i'm confident with fingertyle and pants at using a pick.

My ears hurt

i know that warmoth's are great quality. Very pricy though

My god the flame one looks gorgeous! Some very interesting disigns on there

Cheers for all the reply's guys. i tried to find a single string but to no avail, so today i forked out and bought a new set. As i'm a very poor student it was quite a blow But it was worth it, they sound great and i transfered the remaining strings to my other bass. Which makes them sound terrible but thats another matter

[quote name='stevie' post='1194346' date='Apr 10 2011, 10:15 AM']I agree with this. It's all about image and who uses your product. It's critical. Let's face it, who wants to go on stage with a Benson or a Lindo?[/quote] i have done the latter, it did the job :L Although it stayed in tune just enough for our ten minute set, it sounded... like a bass......ish...

Was just playing around on my ibby and the g string uncoiled and is now totaly dead. is there anywhere that sells single DR hi beams? The other strings are not as bright as they were out of the packet but they arent too bad. Will having a newer string sound odd? Cheers Mike

Cheers for all the reply's guys, this is just an idea, i have no amazing woodwork skills or tools. im not sure where i would start . What sort of tools/machinary would be required?

I am now in possesion of a homemade 2x10 cab (originaly for guitar). Im looking for some speakers for under 100 pounds.On ebay there's quite a few emminence and celestions. I'm a complete noob when it comes to things like this so any help would be greatly apreciated. Cheers

This is quite close to me and it is a good price. What is the wattage on these and what's the weight like? Cheers

i'm looking at hartke and will either go for the lh500 or the ah3500 The LH is cheaper and more powerfull so im swaying towards it, plus victor wooten ususes the 1000 watt version. Any opinions on either of them? cheers
