Oh yes, we all have! The best thing to do next time is to take a break, then come back and have a try. Having relaxed and had time to think about it, you'll find the effect will be less.

Quick and easy. A pleasure to deal with. Many thanks.

I have a 2001 American P-bass, and I'm looking to get a Hipshot D-Tuner for it. Which is the correct model to get, the BT2 or the BT4?

A special thanks to Tim for keeping me well past my finishing time ;-)[/quote] I just couldn't get enough of that SWR Workingman Pro rig and the white Jazz! Thanks for the hospitality, the shop have done themselves a service in employing you Shep!

Either [url="http://www.musicguard.co.uk/"]Music Guard[/url] or join the MU and use their free £2000 free of insurance! With the second option, you can get extra on top of that, so you get a very low premium.

It's always the same. A thread about downtime in the site issues section has turned into a discussion about basses! Typical.

An excellent transcription! Although I'd re-upload another version with your name on it, i.e. Transcribed by ________. Good sight reading practice.

[/quote] I played this when I went with a friend who's purchasing a shuker. It's just a flat neck all the way to the bridge, the pickups are under the wood. It feels awesome to play, it's very even.

I had similar buzzing problems with the stock electronics. I got someone to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40480&hl=timloudon"]re-wire it[/url] and it worked a treat. I'd quite like to get a decent preamp in it though.

[quote name='peted' post='571022' date='Aug 16 2009, 08:30 PM']Squeeeeeeeeeeeee! That'll be mine then Thank you.[/quote] It was indeed a bass and a half. It's very light too!

I went to the Shuker workshop with a friend who was looking to purchase a single cut through neck five string. Excellent times. The guys (and Ruby the dog) were welcoming and helpful. I think my next bass will be coming from there!

I came across this website earlier. I don't think it's been posted yet. [url="http://www.artofslapbass.com/"]Art of Slap Bass[/url].

[quote name='Raggy' post='560765' date='Aug 4 2009, 11:22 PM']Nice, that sounds like its got some nuts to it [/quote] I had a look at a pic of the bass... it certainly [u]looks[/u] like it's got some nuts to it too.

One of the main problems (as mentioned), is that usually no one knows the gig is happening. I know plenty of highly entertaining brilliant musicians who just keep playing gigs to low numbers of people because they never advertise. I occasionally get texts from friends who are playing gigs an hour before they're on when I'm sat at home with a cold beer. Would anyone leave the home at that point? I know that's not the only factor, but it sure is a big one.
