That will most likely be it then because trying to get the bass to be heard over an electric guitar and a drum kit without silencer pads did seem like a bit of a mission haha, thanks to both of you, il look into getting a new amp, and maybe a better one thanks again people

That was my first thought aswell but the amp was working fine the other day then me and a few mates came up for a jam session and now its just going really distorted so im maybe thinking ive blew the speaker or something along the lines of that but i dont know to be honest with you, one of my tutors tried to fix the noise coming from my tune pot by spraying some stuff on it but it couldnt be that that has made the amp go distorted either because it is used on loads of guitars, thanks alot though mate =)

I have had nothing but problems with my 5 string since i got it. i have got everything sorted apart from a few things, on of my tone pots is making a scratching sound when i turn it but is fine when i leave it where it is, the other proble is when i am playing any or most notes on my B and E string, the amp is going distorted and even when i play lighter, or turn the volume down on the amp and or the bass, it is still distorted, is there anything i can do to fix these problems, bearing in mind im a noob and dont have alot of money and if nayone knows how much it would cost to get fixed that would be great. thanks

Hey like the sound of that, would be good to have all the different types of music up, im sure it would be a great help to many more people aswell as me =)

Hey everyone, names Graeme and im 15 years old, one of my college tutors showed me this webpage and thought it would be pretty ace if i joined up ! seems like a pretty fun site. I use a Warwick Corvette 5 String ( RockBass ) and a Stagg 20W (Think thats what it is) amp, good enough for messing about in the house with haha. I love all music, my favourite kind would be Rock/Metal but i listen to everything, Country, Swing, Blues, Soul and all different other kinds, got my dad to think for the Blues and Rock, gotta love Cream and Led Zep =P. Ive been playing bass for about 2 - 3 years on and off, just started settling in to playing it seriously haha so il need to go look about for exercises and tips. Anyways, thats about everything people, sorry for wasting your time =P. Laters =) Graeme
