Steve Harris on Bass....Dave Murray on Guitar....sorry.

Basschat or grammar chat???? come on.

Bass wise Fender P or J and amp wise not sure fancy a nice MarkBass Combo about 300w would be nice....I wish.

Plug in and play there will probably be a volume control for both single coil pup and split p type pup.....knock volume off one play it, then do the same with the other I wouldn't worry about the angle of split pup see what the volume of each string is like can easily be adjusted to suit your ear, all depends what sound you want...usually bridge pup will give a more treblier/ mid tone and neck pup slightly warmer deeper tone....good luck....plug in play and don't be afraid to fiddle about a bit.

I imagine your like the drummer from my last band, he had a problem with poor grammar ect….some strange folk about.

At 57 I hope to get gigging again soon.....my work can be a problem but fingers crossed....never say never

Great little amp I have one

Just for home use your guitar amp will be fine....personally I would wait to part ex until you have been playing a few months....then once you are a bit more familiar with the instrument you might get the urge to jam with folks then you could always part ex for a half decent Bass Combo....but till then your guitar amp will suffice just crank the bass EQ to about full and keep the mids and treble to a minimum.

Used SIT strings on an old P Bass years ago I had never heard of them at the time....£14 so thought why not and they played really well....but that particular shop closed down and never seen them since....I hate new string in all honesty so very rarely change them.....so if you can get a set of SIT strings you wont be disappointed.

Nice neck....shame about the body lol

Keep up the good work

Welcome aboard this is without doubt the best Forum....lots of advice and help at hand....enjoy your Bass.

Great Bassist

We used to cover....it takes time....many moons ago we used to open with this always went down well RIP.

That was one of the reasons I stopped going to the initial tutor excellent Bassist but very Jazz orientated and that's how he came across.....I was a very late starter I was late 30s when I took up Bass but more RnB, Blues and Rock.....I went about 3 times took on board some pointers and after 6 months was playing in a Rock n Roll band and a Pop/Rock band so things took off pretty quickly for me.

I think I have kept the floating thumb method because it just comes naturally to me and yes you are muting the string you are anchoring on ect….I listen to a lot of old school RnB and Rock from the 60s/70s so my playing and style is tailored for the band and not as an individual or soloist....spend many hours working on getting a good groove and technique I watch many local bands and although there players are good play the right notes but some lack FEEL and in my humble opinion if you don't have good Feel then it just sounds messy.....Good Luck Ruarl…...check out Danny Mo Morris he is one of the tutors on SBL Academy he is a master of the James Jamerson 60s RnB groove that's if your into that type of vibe.

I remember going for a few lessons many years ago when I first started and I had never picked a Bass up the guy taught me the floating thumb method which I have adopted ever since (thanks Warren) I stopped going after 2 or 3 lessons as it was expensive and a fair hyke…..I decided a year or later to re-start but he had stopped teaching and passed his students on to a young fella whome I contacted and had a lesson with which was a complete waste of time he immediately picked up on my floating thumb method and tried to change the way I played...….my point is surely technique is a personal thing its what makes us individual ect….why change or try to fix something that isn't broken?? im all for watching and trying to learn new things but I would never change my own technique which I have spent a long time working on....just my opinion.
