    Your approach seems very practical, myself i use two fingers when playing single notes and occassionaly use one finger to rake two note chors etc. Thumb, index and middle for chords that require 3 strings. It's just natural to me. P.S. will there be christmas songs on your myspace this year Alun???

    Erm yes, i've never tried making a poll on this forum before so this could be a complete disaster, mods feelf ree to remove the topic if it hasn't worked. Just trying to find out how many people use more or less than two fingers in their picking technique. Please share why aswell. Happy Posting.....

    I used to always forget that the people who know the structure and parts of a song most is of course the band themselves. If you do a mistake most punters won't know at all, I think most gigging musicians have had an experience where they have got off stage cussing about how awful a set was then someone's come up and disagreed completely.

    The nearest big city is Bangor (yes...it is actually a city...) although where i live is only about 20mins down the motorway from Llandudno and those places.

T[/quote] I can do, last time i got round to doing a search ont he web for the fretless i couldn't find anything at all, they're hard to come by apparently. I'll get pics as soon as.

    Ah right it makes sense now. I hadn't thought about the nut being almost irrelevant once a note is fretted......interesting stuff....

    Can't really comment myself but a bassplayer i know and who's gear i've used regularly owns an Epifani 4x10 and he claims to be able to lift it with one hand. Fantastic sound either way, nice punchy mids, my favourite!!

    I tihnk around where i live there isn't much work to be had, especially as a young player. Being able to read to a good level just gives you that slight edge over bedroom bassplayers.

    "four by ten", for single speaker cabs i'd say just "one fifteen"

    I bought one from my local shop for £350 and a part ex. In total what i would have payed in cash (without a case for the head) would have been £450ish.

    I just re-read an old guitar and bass magazine and it was the issue from a good while back where the repair man did up an old columbus jazz bass, stoned the frets, replaced pickups etc. In the article he claimed that the nut needed replacing due to amateur nut adjustments. Q1) Why would anyone want to 'adjust' the nut and how??. There was a picture of the nut although to my untrained eye in nut observing it looked ok to me. He then went on to say that replacing the old nut with a bone nut would improve the sound of the instrument. Q2)How does the material of the nut change or improve the sound? Q3)If it's worth doing, how much does replacing the nut cost and is it a job you'd recommend that someone un-experienced should carry out themselves? Thanx a lot.

    [quote name='Davemarks' post='70281' date='Oct 6 2007, 12:46 PM']It's an online community...[/quote] 2nd that. There's so many ways that we're helping each other by taking part in these forums. Mabye your guitarist would realise how important a knowledgeable (sp??) bass player is if he took the time to check out this website or it's guitar counterparts.

    [quote]"fusionbassist1" refers to "purists" and "elitists". somehow I find this, uuhh, confusing.[/quote] Sorry for that...edited. It makes sense in my head, hopefully someone will get what i mean.

    I was recently refered to as a 'purist' by one of my lecturers. By this he was refering to my preference of older valve gear, passive old vintage sounding pups and exclusive use of two finger picking on stage. I've always known i was a bit retro in my goings on but now i got a tag!! I have to say i like the idea of mabye trying to keep alive perhaps what might be seen as 'the old way of playing' by hardcore dbl thumpin', slappin an' a poppin, tappin an' a shreddin bass players. Does anyone else think of themselves as a 'purist'??? Anyone at all prod of that as I am?? Tell us why you like the ways of times long passed....come on...i can't be the only one.....
