i play in N #

cant beat the first originals , they are becoming well sort after , i bought mine the first day the sterling came out in 1993 and it still looks the nuts now ;-) check the pics its the big bridge model with dampeners, the hipshot is quality sounding to....awesome bass....i dont gig anymore now so its just an expensive ornament , shame really ... hell i may even sell it soon so someone else can enjoy it .... anyways heres my baby ... its that nice, even my dog wont piss on it ;-) sterlings rock .....[attachment=178916:mm s 2.jpg][attachment=178917:mm s.jpg]

it actually is the mark king model, no difference , as mark king had moved onto tc electronics, they painted it black and stuck another signature on it

some good advice here guys, firstly , i am a self tought player , ive never had one lesson in my life , so my left hand does leave a little to be desired at times , but thats mainly because ive got a 3rd finger that i cant really control to well, so ive had to adapt , but hey, i can play a little its been like this with anything i do, and isnt down to a bad technique, it kinda moves when i move my index finger, but as i go higher up the neck , i can use it depending , neither have i used strengthening aids , your strength will come from practice alone, and theres no point making your fingers stronger if you dont know what to do with them on the fretboard . so the point i'm making is, just practice and go with the flow, everyone is built slightly different , so go for what feels comfortable with you , but apply the wrist rule , and whats been said before , play slowly with a light touch , you'll become a faster player in the long run by sticking with that, to many people try to get to quick to fast , your accuracy will be better later on from doing this and everything else will fall into place , jeeeze , i need a balti after that , nom nom nom

hi discreet and thankyou

unlucky dude , but hey , we were considered from 100 from all over the country and some from overseas, down to 25 for the live audition , it would of been close by all 25, as everyone who went, could obviously play the tracks and sing them .... one tip i have learnt is, take an active and a passive , my sterling was booming and i couldnt hear a great deal , nor could i hear the backing vocals well as they positioned us right on top of michaels drum kit lol , i'm sure you had the same problem , its something to be proud of linus so dont feel deflated at all , WE SURE KNOW FOR NEXT TIME and there will be others , now lets get a rockin

only as they were brummies seashell some of taylors basslines were pretty cool to be fair , try rio hehe machines ahhh didnt notice that dude

yeah i agree there tony , naked , kneeling towards the hot stones , (seashell that is , not us) while we all whip her with G-strings and the odd B string , while she plays planet earth by brummie band duran duran on bass she's allowed only 2 mistakes , then she's one of us, LETS DO IT...........
