Hi and welcome

So I'm playing my bass today and listening via headphones so I don't disturb the wife as she watches TV as I learn the riff to Rick James 'Superfreak' and she stops me and says "can you stop the grunting as you play", I am obviously doing this subconsciously to the riff as I play but I don't do it without headphones!, anyone else do this or is it just me being a SUPERFREAK? LOL John

Hello and welcome John

Thanks guys

Got a chance to buy a Peavey Milestone 3 for £50, is that a fair price and are they an OK beginner bass to replace the crap Encore bass I'm borrowing at the moment? Advice/Comments are most welcome John

[quote name='basshead56' timestamp='1383011973' post='2259184'] Resolved. A paper clip and a few minutes of jiggling and she's open. No more locking my cases if they aren't in transit!!! Thanks all! [/quote] I have a safe that needs cracking, can you help LOL Glad you sorted it out John

Hi and welcome to BC John

Got my little STAGG CA20B Bass Combo today, it's a good little amp and an absolute bargain for £10.57 off Ebay! Felt great to finally hear my borrowed bass through an amp, just been noodling about for a couple of hours. Really enjoying playing again and re-learning the bass, loving it John PS Pics below of the amp and guitar.

Really loving your songs and sounds, good luck with the Pledge campaign John
