Welcome to Basschat - I too am currently in Durham and I know a couple of others are on here too.

Looks like he is enjoying himself and thats what its all about..... Good lad

Correct Japan hence why I submitted the question- It is not as easy a dilemma as it sounds unless you just want a little practice amp with little tone and even less power. Normally I would not entertain a multi purpose piece of equipment, but I am moving around and already have the Drums and Bass in tow. I actually spoke to a shop after putting the topic up and they suggested I try an Alto Truesonic TS115A Active PA Speaker - mainly due to the Drum/Bass usage combo, it unfortunately does not seem to have a headphone socket but I can get around this with my multi effects pedal. - I am going to give it a go and it should be here tomorrow. We will see

Did I put it on upside down again?? I never was very good with these Bass things
-
I do not normally do self recording stuff or Bass cover things for the internet but well I felt I should give you an idea of how the Bass sounds. this is just running through a couple of my own Bass lines with the tone I normally choose on the Bass (although there are plenty more) Its just via the laptop and into my Mini Studio speakers so hopefully its sounds ok.

Bump - For new price
-
[size=3][font="Comic Sans MS"]This bass enjoys a stunning high grade AAAAA (5A) Flame Maple top over a very compact lightweight African Mahogany body which is further enhanced by a high gloss finish. The neck is comfortable and extremely fast with easy access to all notes across the neck. The B string is full, clear and balanced with the other strings and playable in all positions up and down the Morado fingerboard. This bass features the new John East (UK) / Pete Skjold (USA) custom three band pre-amp with active blend (pan) for the pickups. This bass preamp allows you to determine the frequencies at which the treble, middle and bass operate allowing to find the sweet spots that suit your playing techniques and preferred tones!! The bass for is totally "as new condition" with only light playing and minimal fret wear as described above. And comes with a Skjold Padded Bag and lifetime warranty from Pete Skjold. If you are looking for the ultimate 5 string bass, with fantastic sounds and playability, look no further. It's got everything from Jazz/Precision sounds to ultra modern Marcus style slap sounds with tons of clear, headroom. Also because of the wood choice and the incredible build quality (you have to see this bass in the flesh to really appreciate whats gone into building her) you can get with only a slight movement of the the pick up pan some brilliant finger funk Jaco tones, right through to Jamerson/Motown sounds! This Bass was reviewed by Bass Guitar magazine and is also the featured Bass in Bass Directs Skjold advertising. If you are into 5 strings then this is the Bass for you. Bass Guitar Magazine reckons this is "one of the finest five string bass guitars we have ever had for review!!!" •Specifications •5 string - 18 mm string spacing at bridge (adjustable from 17.5mm - 19mm) •Width of neck at; Nut 47mm, 12th Fret 63mm •Depth of neck at; 1st Fret - 22mm, 12th fret 23mm •AAAAA Flame Maple Top (£300 upgrade) •5 piece Maple/Purpleheart neck with slim C section profile •35" Scale - 24 fret •Matching head/heel •Morado fingerboard - compound radius from 12" at the nut to 18" at the 24th fret (£80 option) •African Mahogany Body •Black Custom Skjold/Hipshot hardware, A-style aluminium bridge, ultralight tuners, strap locks •Two Skjold Custom SC1 Pickups •New 3-band SPM Skjold/East Pre-amp, featuring 3 bands of eq, treble, middle, bass (boost only) with internal frequency adjustment for all 3 bands plus an adjustable high pass/low cut rumble filter. •High quality Pro Tec Black Line Gig Case with the Skjold Design USA Logo/Emblem in white over black •Weight 8lb 6oz/3.8kgs Looking for £1950 and can be contacted on 07895448666 I am based in Lincolnshire but currently working near Heathrow so two places you can pick this up from. I’m not really looking for trades as I am probably after a Skjold 4 String of Mayones MR Fretless 4 String with the proceeds Hope the pics are ok![/font][/size] [attachment=78149:Skjold_1.jpg] [attachment=78150:Skjold_2.jpg]

[quote name='thunderbird13' post='1068256' date='Dec 23 2010, 09:30 PM']Thats my confusion am I transposing the song or simple making the strings looser. In normal circumstances my ears would be the guide but in this case it was a casual jam where I just tried to play what I heard . They then offered me the gig and I have 30 covers to learn in the next 4 weeks. My problem is do I learn them in the key they're played on the records or do I learn them a semi tone lower. One of my (many ) weaknesses is that I can learn songs quickly but once they're learnt I find it hard to amend then in my mind .[/quote] OK... Ask the guitarist if you can pop over and run through a couple of numbers with him to speed things up for the next rehearsal and you will then get the gist of it.. It shows eagerness and will also put you mind at rest with the tuning issue. I frequently have to learn songs on the fly and quick learning is always viewed as an asset not a weakness at all, as well as that two bands will play the same song in different keys so amending (which is really just like transposing) is also something worth practicing too!! Best of luck with it.

There may be some confusion here - If you and the guitarist ALL tune half a step down (which is probably for the singers range) but they are playing say a G 'look to see where they are barring the chord, I bet it is at the 3rd fret. as normal Most bands when they de-tune do not change the chord position, so for you every note will still be played at the original position (eg; 3rd fret E string is G - 5th fret A string D so on) to be honest you should have heard if its wrong compared to what the guitarist is playing as half a step difference sounds horrible especially if for the whole song :-) but I would bet they are keeping the same positions in this case.

I like both watching and being watched by other Bassists - I am competant enough in my own abilities to not feel fazed and as a teacher interested enough in other Bassists style of playing. I am wise enough to know you never stop learning however good you are and no matter what someone's level they may have something to offer to reflect on. We were after all all beginners ourselves once. I am also very much aware that I am (as are most Bassists) a much more capable Bassist than may be observed when gigging as i realise I am part of a band and tend to play what the song needs. I recently played a gig and spoke to another Bassist who I then found out is also on this site, I even let him have a look over and play on my Bass then he returned the favour when I went to watch his band a week or so later. For some reason I also think I am more vocal in regard to the Bands Drummers skills than Bassists.

I have one 5 Skjold and because its so damb nice I do play it but prefer the 4's still. I got on with so few 5's that I was quite shocked when the Skjold came on the scene - With the 5 I tend to play from the 5th fret onwards to give me more range from the E - I do pop into the first 4 if I am up that way for a while. However I have recently also started tuning E - C and find it much more useful. I've considered another 5 because well why not,?it gives you the extra range should you want it and the other 4 are still there as well. (saying that I'll always have a 4 for slapping)

[quote name='dbass' post='1022272' date='Nov 13 2010, 11:07 AM']You been shopping at Bass Direct a lot by any chance Was nearly tempted to get a Skjold, lovely looking basses.[/quote] Picked up the Skjold on Ebay for a real bargin. I have to say Pete in my opinion makes some of the best Basses avilable at the moment - Although I am currently looking at a Stambaugh...
