Unleash by Soulfly its actually pretty good, considering i never listened to them before Zach

<---- see that? thats extreme annoyance at you lol only joking, im happy for you mate, even though i would kill to have one I don't really like mint condition guitars, even mine has huge chips in the paint on the bottom side of it I wish I had that guitar lol Zach

Right, basically, Im looking to buy an acoustic bass at Music Live, for acoustic sets with my band (1 of which is happening later that month) Im looking for something reliable, fairly cheap (budget of £250-300), sounds good plugged in and acoustic and has a good, reliable pre-amp thanks in advance for any help you can give Zach

[quote name='BassMunkee' post='245704' date='Jul 22 2008, 09:53 PM']Good effort! Welcome. Don't worry about the gear, when I first started out I had a bass I bought a mail order one from Axe, for £99 + a 4 watt (I think) amp... lol![/quote] Lol, i still have my first bass, an Encore Precision copy with a 10 watt amp from Argos lol It isn't actually that bad, but it just isn't that good lol Zach

Lol, sorry to dissapoint mate, it is just a load of stickers i got from Metal Hammer Zach

[quote name='WalMan' post='243177' date='Jul 19 2008, 02:01 AM']Welcome, and don't let the gear worry you. Everyone has to start somewhere, and when I think back to what I started out with that's a nice set-up you've got there. You don't need zillion £ gear to get get going, or even to continue further up the chain. You'll probably end up with the worst GAS on here - I know I have since I joined - but before that I had been quite happy with my set up for nearly twice as long as you've been on this earth. So if you find something you are happy with don't be in too big a hurry to trade on to the next big thing. A few years back I spent a day going round music shops looking at basses, and in the whole day the best sounding / most playable was a Squier Jazz[/quote] I already have the dreaded GAS, i want more then i can afford, and i dont even have a job lol i really need to get a job or something lol And even though i dont have zillion £ gear, i bloody wish i did lol Zach

[quote name='Hamster' post='243139' date='Jul 18 2008, 11:43 PM']Hi Zach, and welcome Don't do your gear down - that's a pretty reasonable setup! Enjoy the forums. Hamster[/quote] Thanks Hamster, its alright, when it comes down to it, its reliable most of all, although i might need a new amp soon, mines about to give up the ghost. Thanks for the welcome, its good to be able to speak to some people on here, i've been hanging around here a while, and from what i've seen and heard, you guys are pretty awsum and very friendly, so it feels good to be included among you lol. Zach

Was pretty awsum, by my standards (it was my forth ever) lol Bout 100 people at the vic inn in derby, crowd was very responsive, everyone was moving, they sang along to the covers (summer of 69, wonderwall, s.o.s, same jeans) andddddddddd, considering im still only 14, we got payed well (£47 each, after expenses) Zach

[quote name='7string' post='241436' date='Jul 17 2008, 12:55 AM']"Every breath you take" by The Police. A lovely song on the surface but with seriously psycho lyrics.... Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take Ill be watching you Every single day Every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay Ill be watching you Still one of my favourite songs ever though [/quote] Yeah, was about to say this one, very few people actually know that the lyrics are actually about voyeurism, etc. makes me laugh wen i see couple listening to it lol Zach

Hello all, Im Zach Im 14, been playing about 1 year and 2 months, working on grade 3 in a few months time My distinct lack of gear is for all to see n my signature :blush: I used to have a 5 string bass, but i traded it for the jazz, which i found more comfortable, which explains my name lol My band, K.O.D, is based in Barrow, Derby and you can find us on Myspace at www.myspace.com/kodsebolliejoe, we play a mixture of Indie/Pop/Rock. I joined about 6 months ago, just for 1 gig, and they decided to keep me around lol, and now we are starting to play gigs more regularly, mainly parties, etc, but if you want, you can catch us at the vic inn in derby sometime in the not particularly near future. Many thanks for reading this, and i do have a personality lol, im just really tired right now lol Zach
