Sweet

Thank god I'm not alone How muck for the olp

I seriously need to stop looking at the for sale section! I keep seeing awesome basses for awesome prices and I'm slowly convincing myself that I NEED them. I don't! I must be loosing my head. I've got a brand new Shuker Jazz which plays sounds and looks the business and I'm thinking of trading it in. Why? Thyere must be some help group or medication I can take

[quote name='Doddy' post='1181381' date='Mar 29 2011, 08:48 PM']I believe it would be awesome. But only if you can control your muting technique while slapping.[/quote] Nice one

I thought it was a pi** take

Thanks Pete, will do BTW yourself and Doddy are looking rather fetching lately. Have you done something with your hair

I knew you'd be along to help Doddy So you rest your unfretted fingers on the unplayed strings to keep them quiet

Hello again, I seem to be having a problem with keeping my strings quiet when playing slap. What I mean is that when I play a note on the E or D strings I'm getting some ringing coming from the A string even though I haven't struck it. What can I do to keep this string quiet while not breaking my rythym? Thanks in advance guys

What an awesome bass! Reality check, the wife would kill me. One day you will be mine, one day

Take a look at this: [attachment=75743:iby.jpg] What an absolutely beautiful bass. I'm so smitten with this bass I'm concidering selling my Shuker This one is nice too [attachment=75744:iby_2.png]

I'm a fairly hard player (who wants it? ) , so always need to have my action set fairly high. Your instrument is there to serve you, not [i]you[/i] serve [i]it[/i].[/quote] Sound advice mate thanks Out of curiosity how high is your action?
