Thanks for your input people. i didn't realise that steels would feedback easier than guts!!! I'm using Honeys at the mo, i wonder if silver slaps or something like would give me a few db more??

Thanks for the info People i really appreciate the advice but....... how do the Rockabilly guys do it?? Big Amps? High wattage? 10s/12s? i think i need the back line thing because the PA is small ish any more thoughts?

I'm looking to upgrade soon, I'm thinking Genz.....shuttle 900 but not sure what cabs would work best??? I have a GK RB 800 and 410 just now but its not loud enough in a five piece band with a loud drummer. any thoughts fellow thumpers? (J Tone PUPs)

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1301336785' post='1179902'] here's my late '79, early '80 sabre (the neck and body date differ by one month) ...also in the garden [/quote]Couldnt quite tell from the Pic's Ahpook but it sure looks like my old one. I did a trade with Howerd for a Stingray. I have a Frettless Sabre in black it's a Keeper, Didnt think i would need two similar Sticks and then regreted letting it go. That bass just does it all.........Nice

Nice Bass it looks in mint nick. The Guy out of Journey used one. you can hear it on the hit's "Who's Cryin" and Don't stop beliving. Mine has had a Warwick circuit fitted in place of the old Graphic style circuit. the Metalwork was stripped and polished. I'm not using it much just now so i may consider letting it go!!! I Could do with a decent Rig for my upright and I cant help lovin Musicman's!! [attachment=93797:100_0943.jpg][attachment=93798:100_0944.jpg]

The Man is, of course a Ledge!! and he never leaves a turn un-stoned.

Hi Makaze, Im also new to Basschat but have been playing for a long............time. If i were you (My opinions only) i would invest in some lessons,you will suprise yourself with how much you can learn within a short time. (By the way i dont give lessons!!) practice some scales to beef up the old hand strength and this will help tighten up your bass lines. You could try rehearsing loud with a Click or Drum Machine through your rig at volume (Use a cheap Mini Mixer if you only have one amp input) Im not sure if your using a pick or not but learning to damp strings with with both hands is an important part of playing. You have quality gear so this shouldnt take much tweaking from a flat set sound on the amp. keep pluggin away!!!
