Aguilar Tone Hammer: Preamp + Di box. I love them but I just cant get hold of a second hand one =/

I've never had a problem with Bjork until I got a set a 6000 word essay on her production style and musical traits... Safe to say I can no longer stand her voice! Dan

Personally I gave up on this approach and made them all my self. I some times literally play over loops for hours. My advice: Youtube drum grooves and go to town =) Dan

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1306916' date='Jul 17 2011, 06:44 PM']Although I can't hear the speaking in the video posted the player is commenting on the space for slapping I believe. Without being rude to you it's kinda down to poor technique or the ability to adapt. On the big al the neck pickup is pretty close so I learned to both pop with the very tip of my finger and also use my 3rd finger for a wider reach. All this bongo talk is making me GAS now.[/quote] No offence taken. Up until 6 months ago i'd never even attempted to slap before so little titbits are always helpful =) I spose being a jazz bass man im used to the eons of space between neck and pup.

I've played a fair few bongos and I found them really difficult to slap on. The neck pup was just too close to the neck for me which is shame cus they really are great basses...

As much as I love this band the backwards strung 5/6 string kills it for me! Nothing worse than a catchy tune you cant play along too!

Would I still be able to get it with the free trial? Dan

Any one got one? Need for my grade 8 please =D Thanks Dan

I could be wrong but I was told wattage means very little which is why some 100watt amps (e.g. Old Peavy) sound so loud. Its more about the transformer which increases how quickly the maximum wattage can be pushed out or something like that? Dont take my word for it though =L

Hah! that made me chuckle how else do you spend your evenings? A bit a cheese always goes down good with a cup of tea! Dan

To begin with there I thought you'd mistaken your instruments! =D Dan

This is just amazing...

I'm in the process of learning Victor Wootens arrangement of Amazing grace and have learnt most of it successfully apart from the harmonic chord section in the middle. Its here [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjkFJkbm3vA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjkFJkbm3vA[/url] from 40 seconds in. Just wondering if you guys had any tips or tricks for these because I'm getting increasingly frustrated! To hit the harmonics correctly I keep pulling off the root note -.- Thanks Dan

I once met a guy with a 2002 Am Jazz and he'd put Pbass pick up smack bang inbetween the two jazz ones. Sound amazing. looked horrible =L Dan

Im year 12 at the moment and looking too. My favourite so far is goldsmiths because its small but not too small (8K students), well placed even it is expensive (Cheaper part of london), doesnt need the best grades just ABB. Dan EDIT: Was thinking about RCM not LCM

In my personal experience its because my first bass was a crappy squire jazz. Now anything with out a jazz neck to me feels so alien so why change my playing style to suit another bass when one feels so right! =) Dan
