    I'm selling a DVD by Todd Johnson if you're interested. He (I think), started the technique. He's certainly a master of it anyway. I had the privilege os studying with him for a couple of days last year. The technique is especially useful if you play 5 string and 6 string basses. It really cuts down on unwanted string noise, strings that you're not playing 'ringing'. It's a more sensible way of playing. Playing while pivoting your thumb on the B string and stretching down to play the G and C strings, that's a hell of a stretch, and you're not in proper control of what you're doing. I use a mix of 'floating thumb' and resting my thumb on the string above the one I'm playing. So my right hand moves down the strings as I play. Check the Todd Johnson section on talkbass, there are loads of links to Youtube videos on there, showing him demonstrating the technique.

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='691410' date='Dec 22 2009, 12:20 PM']The last time I tried to audition a female singer the guitarist's psycho girlfriend told him he wasn't allowed to play in a band with a woman in it. I've heard a very similar story a number of times since too.[/quote] I've had a similar experience too many years ago. I don't drink either, but I've been in bands where people do, and it does affect their performance.

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='691389' date='Dec 22 2009, 12:03 PM']Fine! Nobody noticed me hashing my way through Mustang Sally Need to learn it properly now. It's all quite a difference from what I'm used to. Musicians who don't seem to be alcoholics and a real girl doing the singing (and very well too). I think this has some promise. No email telling me to f*** off yet either [/quote] A real girl....had you used to play in Rocky horror show band ?

    The distance form the nut to the bridge is an inch longer, so all the frets will be slighter further apart. Not too big a deal really, probably more noticeable on a fretless.

    It's a sign of the times I guess. People want stuff and fire off a PM, then sit and think and realise that theu can't actually afford it. I'm selling my Sei 6 string in the 'for sale section''. I've had someone offer me a bass that I sold them 6 months ago plus cash coming to a total of half the value of my bass. I think you just have to accept that selling nowadays is sometimes a long process.

    You need to be very, very versatile. Being able to read can be quite useful. Time is money, that's something I was told ages ago. You need to be able to get the job done with the minimum of fuss. Having the ability to play a couple of different instruments is useful too, BG and DB for instance.

    [quote name='MB1' post='688308' date='Dec 18 2009, 01:04 PM']MB1. Doubt youll sell this without some Measurements! [/quote] Look up the size of an Aguilar GS112, that's what it was made for . And if you own an Aguliar GS112 then you already know it'll fit.
