Sell that one and get one free

I have a SKR 4u case sitting in my garage collecting dust. I paid nothing so will not expect anything for it.
I live near Kings Lynn Norfolk. Collection preferred

I posted on here that I was having problems with ordering from bassline publishing. Stuart Clayton contacted me and resolved the problem quickly and I was able to order the book I was after.
Brilliant service from Stuart and thanks to BC for providing the website which allows us to talk to each other

Thanks for your replies. Afraid I don't do Facebook

Very best wishes.

Hi. I have been trying to purchase a book from baseline publishing but have forgotten the password. I have requested (6 times) to reset my password as instructed on website but to no avail.
I have tried 're registration but that just tells me I already use the mail address. Has anyone else had problems. I eventually found the contact number but that remains unanswered

Hi,

I have just purchased my first acoustic bass, a Fender CB100CE, and wish to put flat wound strings on it, any advice on which ones are best?

Cheers

Jon

Hi,

Are these good guitars? I have been looking for an inexpensive jazz bass and came across these. Any advice/comments welcome
Thanks

Thanks for that. I don't have any medical conditions so no need to explore further. Other than aches + pains (knees, hips) carpal tunnel syndrome, memory loss and flactulence.

Hi

I have noted that some bass players like to play wearing gloves. Why is this? What advantages, if any, are there and if so what are they made from, would fibres catch in the strings.

Adele.If you are not depressed before listening to her you will be afterwards.Also ABBA. Every nerve in my body goes into spasm within the first three notes

Our band at the moment comprises of three 50+ musicians a 30+ musician. I was talking to a 19 year old keyboard player and she said she would love to join us. Age or gender is not always an obstacle. It's how you feel about yourself. We have fun and play music.

2016 has not been such a good year for well known people. But what about those who encouraged, taught or influenced us.
Lets give recognition to anyone who is no longer with us but gave us the encouragement to suceed with our musical or other abilities.
Whether they are relatives, friends, teachers or poeple you have seen who have inspired you. lets praise them. Famous or not.

Mine was my music teacher at school. Although I didn't take up playing the bass untill i was 49 I always hear her voice in my head encouraging all her pupils, regardless of ability, to listen to, play or just enjoy all types of music.
Unfortunatly her name escapes me, but thank you

[sup]I have just changed to flat wound strings on my L2500. Even better then before. Gas for a JB2[/sup]

Morning all.
I'm looking for a jazz bass which will be reliable and sound good but the budget is limited to £500.
Any recommendations or suggestions on basses to try?
Thanks.

Where can this be picked up from?

Blue, I thought you had made it to the top. You're playing Skegness

After speaking to Mark at bass direct I went for the labella 760. I couldn't have imagined the difference between the types of strings. I already feel comfortable with them and cannot see my self returning to round wounds.

The post is intended, mainly, to express what it playing the bass does for the person. If it becomes a chore or not enjoyable how have they changed the way they feel, if at all,which may help others finding themselves in a similar position.

When playing your bass live, in a studio or at home, how does it make you feel. Are you lost in what you are doing or is it something that has now become repetitive, a chore?

Thank you for all you replies. I have read the various threads and made notes. I tried two local shops and neither stocked flat wound strings for 5 string bass.

Hi. I have a G&L2500 and I am playing more finger style than pick. I love playing blues music. I have never tried Flatwound strings.
With the abundance of choice out there are there any recommendations as to which ones to try.
Thanks
Jon

Hi, Shame I didn't read this yesterday, for the price of the postage I have a 3U SKR flight case in my garage you could have had. Moving so having a clear out.
