Bought a Ken Smith EQ off Matt. Swift poster and well packed. Thanks Matt!

Only time ive had tracking issues with it is when my EDB is run through it. Apart from when using the stagg its never turned off.

Garry sold me a DB bow, it arrived fast and well packed. Great bloke to deal with! cheers.

My copy of Ray Browns 'bass methods' arrived today, seems a really useful book, covers many scales.

[quote name='Maxcat' post='436870' date='Mar 17 2009, 08:27 AM']Me too. Ill find out today and keep you posted. Guinness, for those who should know better![/quote] Good luck Max! If thats what Guiness does to your basses im never touching the stuff

[quote name='OldGit' post='436440' date='Mar 16 2009, 06:46 PM']Yeah just do the rest on your side ("I don't have a rest on my side" - Bluebottle, The Goons, 1957) Get one prong at a time and wiggle it into its hole, crushing the nylon thing down a bit. Then take it out and do the other one. Then they will both go in at the same time. Raise the bass so that the nut is at eye level and the prong should rest just in front of your left hip. Lessons are good though.[/quote] cheers guys! Ive set it so half position is at eye level, but will adjust it to the nut height tomorrow.

[quote name='OldGit' post='436040' date='Mar 16 2009, 01:16 PM']h aha Goo dluck with the arm ache [/quote] cheers. Its started already, i want to get lessons in before i develope too many bad habits. Anyone else find it hard to put the rests in? Brute force doesnt do much. Any techniques?

[quote name='OldGit' post='435976' date='Mar 16 2009, 12:31 PM']and if they don't dance you can shoot the floor until they do? [/quote] Managed to stumble through a couple of songs. Ill be Mingus in no time

Finally got myself one: Ive had a noodle on it, just need to get some lessons sorted.

rather than start a new topic on a related subject, ill hi-jack this one (hope you dont mind saxobass ) Has anyone tried a gear4music double bass bow?

Looking forward to getting mine on monday :)

ive been noticing this with my ATK, doesnt bother me much though.
