Does this mean that your main issue is with your left hand only? Are you having to press heavily on the strings to fret cleanly? What is the measurement from the top of fret 1 to the bottom of each of your strings? What bass are you playing?

I use a Tecamp Puma 900 which has a "Taste" knob (who comes up with these names??) which allows you to dial in either a more old school or hi-fi tone. Or a Demeter HBP-1 800D but these are now direct from the USA (I think?)

Darned weather. I didn't manage to get to the show the last 2 years and was looking forward to this one.....but......due to weather etc I wont be able to go so my full weekend tickets available. ** London Bass Show Weekend Ticket ** Glad I hadn't booked flights and hotel in advance! For those who manage to get there I hope you all have a great time.....I'm off to build an igloo instead

Sometimes it can be a problem with the WIDTH of the nut slot. If the original gauge were a snug fit and then you fit thicker strings they wouldn't sit far enough down into the nut and could cause some buzz (it would tend to be only on open strings though)

Cant quite see the electric bit but I would agree with the violence.......if I tried playing it, it would be a severe attack on the hearing system!

I've booked my ticket for this year but not my travel arrangements yet as I'm waiting to see what artists are going to be there. I really enjoyed my last few visits but currently it seems a very similar line up to previous years. I wish the organisers would release the full artist list earlier rather than this trickle they tend to do as I think many (like myself) who live outside of London need to plan in advance for transport and hotels etc. The closer it gets to the event the less likely I am to attend due to the increase in costs for late booking I am sure that there's a good marketing reason they drip feed us with "artist announcements" but to me at this late stage it always "appears" as if even they don't know who's going to be there! I can't think of any other musical event that I would go to without knowing the lineup! If I lived closer and could just jump on a local train or bus I would be at the show every time but when coming down for the full show could cost me near on £500 I start looking around at what GAS I can feed with that cash instead Anyway......semi-rant over and I've got my fingers crossed that I can still make it.

Just sold Dave a 12U rack case. Very easy deal with good comms and payment. Deal with confidence 👍

This is the second deal I've done with Mark and as with the last one it went really easily. I sold him my Barefaced Big Twin T cab. Sad to see it go but its gone to a good home. Good comms, smooth deal, easy payment....what more could you want? Deal with utmost confidence

I don't know how you play at the moment but with the above comments I would say make sure your left hand is anchored by the thumb being at the back of the neck and not hooked over the top of the fretboard. This opens the hand more and allows you to reach the strings etc easier. Have fun

Here's my old 6'er that I traded a few years ago.... ....and my 5'er I traded it for

Now gone :-)

If you can PM me your address I can get a post quote :-) Just the blue one available.

Last bump

It's a 6/8 rhythm that's used in a lot of different styles but I've mainly heard it called a "blues shuffle". Other examples - Stevie Ray Vaughn - Pride And Joy, Quo - Whatever You Want,
