  1. [quote name='JonnyB' post='715224' date='Jan 16 2010, 09:41 PM']Can I caution against Brass with Yamaha Silent Brass - okay for a few minutes a day but total reliance on the mute will wreck your chops (lips in the Brass world not flashy runs of scales etc!), the pressure and resistance is all wrong, no matter what it says in the ads. Plus, as has been mentioned before on this thread, the intonation is poor.[/quote]

    I couldn't agree more.
    I personally would use a cup mute. the sort where you can slide the cup around so tha it can be either quieter or louder.
    This does make it really quiet and allows you to play properly.
    even a harmon mute isnt great.

  2. [quote name='Tinman' post='715053' date='Jan 16 2010, 06:05 PM']Have you thought of the Tascam MP-BT1 "Bass Trainer"

    I have one and find it indispensable. Almost totally silent practicing, brilliant! :)[/quote]

    'accept no substitute' and dont leave home without one! just be carefull of the on/off switch. Ive had to reapir mine 3 times, but its easy enough.

    Someone else was selling an Ashdown mini rig on here somewhere for about £100
    Its in the amps for sell section, Ill see if I can find it for you.
    Cheers

  3. [quote name='Golchen' post='706331' date='Jan 9 2010, 10:08 AM']I bought it but I never use it. I got it to use with Garageband but it is pretty crap with GB. I think that it works a lot better with other software.

    I'm desperate for a 3/4 drum pattern for a project, but it doesn't have anything useable![/quote]

    jam studio has a 3/4

    Not amazingly brilliant but a 3/4 pattern nonetheless
