Hi roger its not the actual plastic pickup covers im looking for its the metal cover that covers both pickups on certain models. regards Jay

does anyone know where i can purchase a gold pickup cover for a mex 50.s classic precision all the ones listed on ebay are too small it needs to be approx 55mm wide to cover the pickups all the ones i can find are 51.5mm they just dont fit properly. thanks jay

With ref to bass lessons it maybe worth contacting local colleges etc it sounds as though some music theory lessons may help with understanding notation and improvising .

The Tomsline Aroma Octpus Pedal arrived and i tried it out in my music room absoloutly awful, the octaves actualy sound way out of tune to me so not for me. already for sale on ebay

I didnt realise they were related to Behringer.

Just been surfing the net to try and find a lightweight alternative to my ampeg 4x10 stv cab and head, Has anyone tried these Bugera combos , they claim its 1000w into 1 x 15 speaker are they realy that powerful? thanks jay http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Bugera/Bass/Bass-Combo-Amplifiers/c/2234022?group=Bass%20Combo%20Amplifiers&colExpFlag=,Bass,Bass%20Combo%20Amplifiers.

Thanks for all the info and advice i have decided to try a Tomsline Aroma Octpus Pedal its a budget made in China pedal, but seems to have the options im looking for il let you know how it performs when i have tried it in a live Band situation

Im looking for a basic octave pedal, 1 and 2 octaves up not realy looking to use it for sub bass or octaves down etc and i dont need all the other intervals or effects that most pedals come with. Has anyone tried any of the main contenders, EH pog, digitech bass wammy , tc electronics etc

Chowny CHB1 semi acoustic Bass guitar Short Scale 30” set neck 2 x Artec pick ups Tone and volume for each pickup 3 way toggle switch for Bridge, Neck or both pickups Moveable 1 piece wooden bridge . Quality chrome Tuners This Chowny bass was a xmas present from my wife Its in White with a cream binding around the body and neck The finish is stunning. I believe the body top is maple , maple neck with ebony fretboard White mother of pearl block type markers. The strings that came on the bass look like d’addario roundwounds I prefer to use flatwounds for the type of music I am using the bass for Mainly 1950’s 60’s rock n roll. I fitted a set of thomastik short scale flatwounds. I have now done 6 full rehearsals and 10 live shows using the Chowny The bass is very light and the neck is realy comfortable to play It also looks fantastic on stage. It gives me every sound I need , from deep ,double bass type tones using fingers To the Eddie cochran type click sound using a pick, and anything in between. No noise or feedback issues that sometimes occur with semi basses. Stays in tune throughout your performance without having to retune. I currently own 3 fender precion basses a 51 reissue, 57re issue 62 reissue And a standard jazz bass. I also have a burns shadow bass and a vintage stingray copy. I find the Chowny as versatile as all of these. It is now my first choice bass for this genre of music I purchased a hard case for a Hofner verythin bass Which fits perfectly. I would highly recommend these basses for anyone wanting a great looking And sounding Bass at a very reasonable price

Hi mark a di box will have 2 jack inputs and 1 xlr out you plug your bass guitar into one of the jack sockets on the di the other jack socket on the di goes to your bass amp input the xlr (mic lead) output goes to your mixer or whatever you are di into most di's also have a ground lift and decibels control to adjust the signal strength and eliminate any nasty humming noises etc regards jay
