Thanks for the playing and singing advice, I seem to be going down the Macca route of keeping the neck high and angled and playing groove riffs over and over again until I can sing the right line over. I don't want to compromise interesting bass lines for singing cause I have been singing for ages. What a lovely welcome to the bass community! Great to have this kind of forum for advice and information. I will be checking out Babbit, thanks. www.theflotels.com

Hi, I have been playing bass for about 6 weeks now; after a 6 month search for a bass player I got practising and filled the bottom end frequencies for my band, The Flotels. I have a '69 Gibson EB-0 copy, an Avon Rose Morris job and am looking for a Fender Jazz Geddy Lee for my small hands to tinker on. Rig wise, the Ampeg SV-T Classic would be most welcomed under (or beside) the Christmas tree this year but I have got a Hartke/Ashdown head cab setup now. Style wise I am a James Jameson, Donald Duck Dunn afficionado. Old school rn'b/stax pop and rock. Plonking and singing at the same time is the hard bit but I'll get there!
