I think the best way to create a good walking bassline is to sing it first. That will give you the musical feel you want, without being constrained by any technical limitations. Then play what you sing. Knowing the theory - particularly the right notes to use to modulate between keys etc - makes it quicker and easier to play it. But whether you know the theory or not, by singing it you'll find those correct notes naturally. Well, that's my humble opinion.

I have 2 basses. A 1972 Fender Musicmaster and a defretted Rockbass. Not sure which is my main one - probably the Fender.

Thanks - its new but sort of demo/bankrupt stock, I think.

Did you buy this? I have a chance of getting one (Pro 500) for £399 - is that good value? I'm only going to be playing weddings etc but it seems like a great amp. I'd only want to use one cab with it (2x10) - any suggestions? Many thanks, Martin.
