  1. Think mine will be around for a long time
  2. Never thought of that will ask one of my daughters and see if they can sort something for me, cheers.
  3. Unfortunately i can't take pics on a laptop, i would love to show it off otherwise, sorry.
  4. Aye i'm over the moon with it, lost interest of late but since buying it, it's actually got me back into practising again.
  5. Just bought one from a friend who's got into 5 string, he modded the above Bass with EMG pups, Wilkinson Bridge, absolutely bowled over with the quality and playabilty....Swamp Ash body, Maple Neck it's very well made and got it for £200 it's great anyone on here got any love for the SX Basses....all the best folks.
  6. Brilliant lesson Greg will be looking at this for sure, keep up the great work and lessons, thankyou.
  7. Morning Bass chatters anyone used Toltec p'ups there a company based in Leeds handmade custom pups for Bass and Guitar all handwound ect just wondering if anyone has used or heard of them, i came across them on the net as i'm searching for replacement as my bridge pup just died but looking for a decent set but don't want them to pricey, cheers and all the best.
  8. Been on a low wage anything around the £30 to £50 range does me, i practice with headphones all the time these days.
  9. Beam me up Snotty.....don't like it don't comment.
  10. Thanks for your replies appreciated
  11. Unfortunately i can't upload any photos but recently purchased a Vintage (Brand) Precision Bass it's obviously second hand but it's an old one the chap i bought it off had owned it at least 15 years....it's not a reissue or V4, i presume it's one of the original one's....looks nicely made and plays well, well worn and scratchplate is nicely tarnished....anyone had one and are they decent basses, only paid £50 so presume it's a steal any info on these will be very much appreciated.
  12. Eh up Lowdown the plateau arrived and you were bang on....i have recently returned back to Bass i think i bogged myself down with Theory on Bass which started to get to much the more i delved into it.
  13. Great vibe glad i stumbled on this very old school.
  14. Wow....i think your right, i have good days and bad on both, really in a rut, what would you suggest.
  15. I have huge respect for Joe Hubbard hence joining the 2 year Bass Mastery Course but i'm a non reader and 16 weeks into it i just thought enough's enough this just isn't registering so i pulled out....maybe if i had aspirations to turn pro but i will never achieve that level
  16. I do i foolishly started an expensive course to try better my Bass playing and learn the Theory but got bogged down....let's face it we all learn to play songs and join bands end of....but at nearly 60 and several bands later playing utter shite at times and same old, same old covers i just don't enjoy it and as a Bassist you don't get much choice....so hence switching to Guitar.
  17. Thanks some good advice some of the theory has been very productive i can be noodling away and think eh up that sounds like so and so and before you know it you've worked part of a song out you wasn't even looking at, cheers.
  18. Well after 20 odd years playing Bass on and off i've decided to concentrate on Guitar....always had an Acoustic knocking about and learnt some fingerstyle ect, but bought an 80s Epiphone LP Standard a few months ago and little Blackstar 10w practice amp and find it much more enjoyable....really tried to up my game with the Bass learning theory but the big mistake came after enrolling on Joe Hubbards 2 Year Bass Mastery Course (at great expense) took the risk hoping this would make me focus and better my playing but been a non reader it went straight over my head and the endless meaningless drills just bored the tits off me, i'm just not a Jazz/Improve player just not good enough.....give me some good ol' 70s power chord Blues/Rock classics and some 80s Metal and it's happy days, wishing you all the best i've enjoyed the Forum it's been great but always deep down wanted to learn Guitar and progressing quite well.
