Did this come from an uncles loft?

Welcome aboard There's always time to play bass!

[quote name='silddx' post='1304524' date='Jul 15 2011, 10:59 AM']You're joking, right? The coolest space craft that ever existed, reduced to a pathetic little bass with a Fender neck. Sad, very very sad [/quote] Not sad, it fact very happy! It will hang with pride on my wall next to the Tardis one and the Enterprise one.......... Oh and a Super Yob bass if I ever find one

Now that's a bass I really like it and if I had £1800 I would buy it

I don't think it's a culture thing at all. There are great bass players all around the world. I saw a really good Chinese chap in a hotel bar in Dongguan. He probably won't get famous over here, he was still talented anyway

Hmmmm indeed

Hmmmm (no, don't look)

Wow, looking good!

I have started learning the dots too. (I'm 45) I find it easier to go over small passages at a time. I bought a few musical scores and just read them quietly to myself. Take it slowly and it will come

I have never used a pick on a bass. I don't use one on a guitar anymore (can't grip it for more than a couple of minutes anymore ) Fingers only (or thumb when the hand gets too bad)

Welcome aboard Would love to learn the upright, just not enough room (so the misses says!)

[quote name='icastle' post='1301750' date='Jul 12 2011, 11:36 PM']Despite common opinion, I'm inherantly sensible... [/quote] really?

Put simply, yes! I started on a fretted bass. I was in PMT one day looking for an amp. I tried a cheap fretless for a laugh. It's all I play now

I prefer big rigs for outside.......... The PA is probably best I was gassing for a PJB but it has now passed!

I'm in the sell it camp If you already have a sentimental bass, no need for 2

My Orange Crush 50w is the same. Plug in an external cab and the internal speaker goes down. Plug in a 1 x 15 (as I do) and the sound is a lot deeper Not worth lugging to a gig, just use the line out and go through the PA.

Riveting read! I have led a sheltered musical life

[quote name='Toasted' post='1299784' date='Jul 11 2011, 12:05 PM']I have found the site slow over the past few weeks between 9pm and midnight.[/quote] +1 on this ^^ It seems to get better when all the sensible ones log off and go to sleep

[quote name='4StringFortress' post='1299416' date='Jul 10 2011, 11:05 PM']Sounds like a bargin! But sadly i am lacking transport so i will not be able to pick it up [/quote] That's cool. It would need some transport as each bit weights 33kgs. Cheers Blademan

You can have my Marshal stack for £200 if you want to come and pick it up MB4210 with MBC 1 x 15 extention cab. 450 watts of pure loudness!

Hi Marc I really liked the flowing nature of your instrumental tracks. My sort of music! They were very quiet on my system (sound full on) so I wondered if when you mixed them, the levels could go up? With headphones, I could tell the mix is very even and done very well. Good job
