Bumping this one up

Exactly. I think it's an awesome idea.

I love Ashdown amps, I've used them for quite a long time on and off (the "off" times were purely because of weight when I was out gigging) and am very happy with my current Mibass combo. The only reason I'm sorry that it's £600 is that I don't have £600 right now, but consider me starting to save for one! Everything I need plus more in a little space saving box that me and the Mrs can also use for music and movies from phone/iPad? Sold! P.S. You guys are really harsh. Those scathing comments were unpleasant to read through. At least try something before bitching about it in public.

My old band used to close with Buck Rogers, always went down a storm

No effects for meeeee! I love how my bass and amp sound. I just EQ as necessary.

Welcome!

Thanks for the opinions and suggestions everyone! Really appreciate the responses. Ian hit the nail on the head, I don't learn well at all from books, Internet, even videos. I've tried and tried, but it doesn't sink in. The most I've ever learned musically is from having a one-to-one teacher. I know that learning to read the dots would be a handy skill to have but I really can't see when I'd use it. I've really struggled with it in the past (had piano and violin lessons, still can't read a note) but would be willing to give it a whirl if necessary. As Pete says, I just wanna be able to jam and look like I've got a musical superpower haha!

I think so too really need to find a teacher that will help me along that path

If it helps explain what I'm after... I'd love to be able to listen to a song, identify the key and know what chords apply and what notes would fit.

I'm thinking about having some lessons this year. I really would like to improve my playing, theory (chords, scales, modes, intervals etc) and mainly just be able to play along with anything that comes up on the radio and be in tune. Ha! I don't really feel the need to learn to read (have always struggled with that and can't see why I'd need it, I'm a bedroom player mainly), but have been told that it's the easiest way to learn to just jam along with stuff like I want to. I'm not dismissing that but finding it hard to understand why it's the case. Is it true? If so, why? If not, why not?

No problems here! Deal with confidence

Very nice job

Macassar!

How are you getting on with the mustang, gsgbass?

[quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1414918530' post='2594552'] Haha, I was more with you before you edited, when you said the 64 should go! I reckon that'll change daily though? This morning I was thinking 'sell the 64 and buy the Lull (if I like it) keep the 55' then I duley remembered that I need to be letting one go. Doh. So no love for Modulus then? The boyhood Chili's fan wouldn't let me get away with that, I love using that bass when jamming to their records. A fender it must be.... [/quote] Ha! Yes, I'm easily confused. This is all my personal opinion but I love white basses and much prefer the tone and aesthetics of 60's P basses over the 50's ones. It's not that I don't like modulus basses, they're great, but just not my cup of tea. I could do everything I needed to do on a nice fender jazz
