I only had a little look at that to be honest. Thanks though, I hope I'll get better.

Hey. Yeah. I joined up the first time round but never did it due to time, But I'm gonna get on it this time round. Already posted my first lesson. [url="http://soundcloud.com/a-sagar/gary-burton-jazz-improv-lesson"]http://soundcloud.com/a-sagar/gary-burton-jazz-improv-lesson[/url] This is my first time at improvising jazz lines so it's pretty basic and scrappy but I hope I can improve over the 5 weeks

yeah, I checked that already. 7 day return. I libe in Leeds and York, you would have thought it would be ripe for decent bass amps but its all ashdown (not that they are bad). Thanks for the help

Hi Phil-osopher10 Yeah, I just missed out on a TC yesterday. I'm forever scouring the sale ads. It seems the contour is the best bang for my buck (I don't really have many of them).

Hello list I'm on the verge of buying my first combo and I'm looking at the GB Contour 11t from bass direct.

Thanks Ash

just seen this, here's one I'm in. [url="https://www.facebook.com/neuschlaufen"]https://www.facebook.com/neuschlaufen[/url]

yes. ebow indeed. used it for a gig tonight in fact. Now I'm on flats it's even tougher to get teh string going but I do tap it on occasion, although I prefer it to come in naturally. I'm fortunate enough to be in a band that does what the hell it wants on stage so the bow doesnt have to be going at a specific time. Alsio hand control helps as the grooves on it are set for guitar (bluegh, Guitarists annoy me, especially ones who play bass. "Oh i play the bass like a guitar". Well, cos of you I have to try and be much more impressive and learn sh*t that they play.) anyway, enough rant. get one with an overdrive/fuzz and reverb pedal. Loads of fun.

As for the credit card numbers, what now?????? I dont think the bank would allow me to have one. i havent held a job down for years Ash

Hi there. Ive been lurking around for sometime stealing information for my own good and scouring the sale threads for gear (the good stuff is always down south). Just wanted to actually say hi and introduce myself properly. So there you go. Hi. Ash
