Welcome Ed.......watched many of your Demos ect and got the odd book/cd....keep em coming.

Hi and Welcome.

Greetings welcome aboard.

[i]Dream Theatre.....train of thought.[/i]

And an ol' Fart from Grimsby saying Hello and Welcome

Forever searching for that 'Sound'.....Foam Mute.....Old Strings....keep nails short so your playing with a bit of nail and end of fingers to give the sound a slightly more percussive tone....but that's just my view......play with neck pick up full and try find that 'sweet spot' on bridge pick up and your tone control on about 4/5.....try it see what you think.....it gives me a sound I like (sort of) lol.....hope this some use to you.

Believe me, I've got a track record for this. I've got away fairly lightly this time, though. I usually buy something, buy some new expensive strings, have a pro setup done, and then decide it's not what I wanted and sell at a loss. At least this time I should break even

Hope so....Good Luck....I bought 3 Squier Jazz Basses once....a CV....a VM and VM Fretless then couldn't decide which one to play lol got rid of them all and I've got a 'Jap Fender Jazz' hopefully this will stay.

Tredders.....I found your post hilarious mate, not taking the mick or owt just what you wrote....we've no doubt all been there, but best of luck with your trade or sale.....Cheers Bob.

Hi there & welcome.

Maybe you'd do well to post a thread in the EUB and Double-Bass section. I'm sure someone will be along there who'll be pleased to help you.

1 hour before setting off for gig you get a text....."sorry Guyz I've been ill all day"..........or you arrive at the venue to find another band setting up..."my apologies looks like someone's double booked".

My Apologies you are right I got mixed up....thanks for correcting my error.

Thanks for that mate.....just started listening to some Freddie King stuff....think one of his Bassists was Johnny B Gayden and yeah the man can groove like crazy just trying to cop some of his lines....cheers.

Hi Folks,


Big Blues, old School RnB, Soul fan ect.....familier with a lot of mainstream stuff but wondered if anyone could recommend any obscurer stuff Old or New.....like a lot of Funky Bass (not slap) more fingerstyle and love the walking bass lines something that swings/shuffles with a good groove.
Like Jamerson, Weeks, Jemmott, Shannon, Roscoe Beck, Paul Turner, Gayden, Porter, john Paul Jones, Fraser type players.
Thanks and Love the site by the way!

Guilty....lol.....it's a tad addictive.

Hello and Welcome
