Hey guys, I'm gonna be busking with a guitarist and drummer soon and had plans to borrow a friends Markbass head and little speaker. After researching more thoroughly it dawned on me that the watts from the head may be too powerful for the battery i'm getting. If anyone has experience doing this and could recommend a relatively cheap alternative i would be grateful? Cheers

That looks perfect. Thanks

Hi people! I was wondering of anyone knew where there were charts available for the sort of songs that would appear in the Great American Songbook? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Mate, they posted the position again on Starnow a few days ago. http://www.starnow.co.uk/Casting-Calls/Musicians-wanted/Bass-guitarists/bassist_required_for_rhcp_world_tribute_band_5.htm Good luck to all who apply.

Cheers Jake. Will pm him now.

Hi guys, Was wondering if anyone new of a good place to get chord charts to run through songs. As an example i've got one from a west end show which has a few bars notated as way of example and then let's you carry on with just the chords with occasional stops and other bits notated. If anyone could help i would be very grateful. Many thanks.

I've had the same cable for ages and left it behind at a gig a little while ago, i borrowed a mates one for my next gig and that one started falling out and now the one i've bought since is doing the same. It wasn't a monster cable but i'm beginning to think that it may have been that lead that did it. I best get it looked at next time i'm in london. Cheers again.

Cheers for the advise people, much appreciated.

Alright guys, been having some problems with bass cables recently. The last couple i've bought have a tendency to fall out while i'm playing so i'm assuming i need to be getting one with a thicker end. Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to what i should be looking for? Cheers

Cheers for the advice guys, much appreciated.

Hi people, i'm in need of an inexpensive portable bass amp that will be good enough for gigging. I'm looking to spend roughly between £200-£300 and would preferably be after something that will give a nice warm sound. Any help would be much appreciated and if this post has been done before then i apologise. Cheers

My intentions for teaching are genuine, the comment about the finances were not related to why i want to teach but it means i could do with finding ways to get more lessons quicker. Thanks for all the advise given and i totally agree with being a good player doesn't make you a good teacher. I have thought about teaching for the past few months and it's not something that i've jumped at and thought that'll make me a few quid. I may have opened this post poorly but i was only after a bit of advise about the best way to advertise and didn't mean to come across in any negative way.

I was thinking of using the rockschool grade books as a benchmark and take it from there. I suppose my basic aim is to get people playing multiple styles at a good level while putting heavy emphasis on groove. Thanks for the interest and advise so far.

Hi all, i'm trying to get some money in from teaching bass lessons and was wondering if anyone could give me a little advice on how to get started. I've put an advert on gumtree and i plan to stick some cards up in local shops but not too sure what else would be useful. Any help would be much appreciated as my finances are a shambles.
