I figured this was more in the spirit than buying a brand new copy and putting money into Guy Pratt's pocket.[/quote] sorry for the delay folks - i've packed the book up and it'll be in the post to acidbass on monday.

It happened last gig. [/quote] ouch ! philistines ! you know you're a bassist when: your girlfriend can tell the difference in tone between your jazz bass before and after you've fitted a badass...

[quote name='sdgrsr400' post='535079' date='Jul 7 2009, 08:15 PM']Well, for repeating bass lines possibly the best known popular piece is Pachelbel's Canon in D, which you can hear in an outstanding performance below. The first eight notes in the bass repeat throughout the piece - why not play along? [/quote] hmmm. thanks...i'm all relaxed now. and a damn fine example of unchanging basslines.

dunlop .73mm's for me. even girlfren knows what gauge i use

have we forgotten this one ? genius song, genius bass/piano line which really carries the song - an excellent example of ostinato as wulf mentioned.

i recently put some old flatwound electric bass strings on my no-name acoustic. it certainly sounded better and as fretlessguy mentioned - a lot less finger noise.

when the market for relic-ed basses established itself, wasn't this the obvious next step ?

thanks for the review...sounds like a cracking DI, but... [quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='533253' date='Jul 5 2009, 07:52 PM']and the rubber feet make the pedal stick fast, even on a wet kitchen floor![/quote] c'mon...safety first

[quote name='NJE' post='531528' date='Jul 3 2009, 11:36 AM']They also have a baby blue for silly money...[/quote] which i couldn't resist !!

i used to be 100% plectrum player, but not i usually play with my fingers. on a purely aesthetic level, i just don't like 'coffee table' basses and prefer quite trad-design basses. just me i guess.

you could have a word with the folks at watford valves - i asked them for some suggestions when i was revalving my ampeg and was chuffed with the results.

what does MD stand for ?
