They still do vinyl I haven't played a vinyl for years. I think I still have a record player somewhere lol Ok, I'll get my coat..... shuffles off in disgrace

I use the fretless for our acoustic stuff. I have also thought of getting an acoustic bass but it would be a fretless one if I did.

Welcome aboard to the world of computing and bass chatting

When the note sounds the strongest. Probably the middle........ Get a fretless and it all goes away

I wish that would happen for me....... You will have to change your tag line of worst bassist in Gloucester now

[quote name='bassjamm' post='1124921' date='Feb 12 2011, 01:15 PM']Anyway...it would appear that the quest is over! I've found a Gibson Grabber within reach...oh yes!!![/quote] That's great news I sold most of my guitars to get better basses but it didn't turn out that way Still, I am happy with the ones I have and will add the Retrovibe later this year!

[quote name='bassjamm' post='1121694' date='Feb 9 2011, 06:39 PM']Blademan_98 - May I ask what has led you to decide on the RV4?[/quote] I think they look really good and I can't afford a real one! I read the thread on them and feel they are value for money.

I answered yes. I don't own a 5 string but the only way my wife will let me get another bass is if it's different to the ones I have now! GASing for a 5............

I'd go with the Eurythmics type of thing. Good strong beat. Bit of distortion with background of keyboard. Pop Rock? Liked it anyway!

Very cool

Personally I am going to go for the Retrovibe. The list in my head is pretty much the same as yours! I may hold off until April as I believe there will be a 5 string Retrovibe

Bass saxophone guitars and drums :-)

+1 on the above Good luck and I hope it is a success!

Very cool, but no you can't have my basses as I need to practice

Hmmm..... Now how do I explain to the misses that I actually NEED one of these

I use an old Sony DV camera. I bought it about 8 years ago when it was 'cutting edge' and it has lasted well. If you get a second hand one on evilbay it will get you going. Great quality for not a lot of money.

My local pays the two of us £100 for 2 hours playing. The landlord says if we draw in 20 people, it pays for us and makes him a profit. The first gig we drew in 43 punters and he ran to pay us and re-booked. The last gig there were only 15 people in....... It's taken three months for him to contact us and ask us to play again! Punters = profit

I for one mainly went over scales tonight rather than dick about on this forum which I seem to be on more than my bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However,,,,,,,,,,,,,,here I am again hahahaha[/quote] I do seem to find myself drawn to this forum far too much!

I just had my first bass lesson. It was absolutely brilliant! At 45 and after playing guitar on and off for years, taking lessons seemed a bit strange. Within ten minutes, I found my hand positions, both left and right, were incorrect My tutor (Fingerz from this forum) made me feel at ease. I have lots of exercises to practice until the next lesson. I left his house with a fair old buzz and couldn't wait to get home and review what I had learned. You are never to old for lessons and it's always worth checking your technique. Here's to the future
