I've done that. Sort of. My bass case was behind the sofa whilst we had some work done in the house so it was accessible. I kicked it, mid swing of a normal step, and broke something in the middle toe of my right foot. Funny colour foot, a toe at a funny angle and a trip to A&E in the morning.

I'm not great at singing, but not terrible either IMHO. However, if I try and do BV's I forget how to play!

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1446226429' post='2897958'] No issues in MY band. everybody does what they're told, or else. [/quote] This ^ I've got minor issues with people not putting the effort into learning their parts, but I'm as guilty as the rest on that one! My biggest gripe is getting a text or a phone call just before rehearsal saying someone can't make it for a reason that can't have been a surprise, but if that's my biggest problem I can't be doing too badly

The low B means you can play it in standard tuning and still get the open A and E in it Hooray for 5ers Personally I quite like playing it, but our singer doesn't, so we don't.

I don't suppose that anyone has a double P bass near me to try out before I take a router to my bass?

Woo! Tour to support it in the offing?

Cheers. I positioned it in the centre of the wall facing the drums and angled my and the guitarists in towards it. Possible front row of the audience If anything it's our drummer who's a bit loud, I can go much louder, I'm around the 10 o'clock position on my amp I'll play with the levels next time and see what happens.

So, first outing results. Ignore the fact that none of us can play or sing or even stay in time...

I got my Zoom H4n yesterday and tried it out at last night's session. I put it at the opposite end of the room to the drums and angled both my rig and the guitarists towards it. I used the 120 degree option. Listening back to the results on the night, it's all drum and guitar dominated, I've not had chance to listen to it with anything else yet but should I expect to hear it all properly from the Zoom speaker? Any tips for placing it? I've got a camera tripod so it can go anywhere and be height adjustable as well.

The only person who puts them away is me. I "throw" them out when I set up but the one between me and the pedal board doesn't seem to behave itself in use.

I coil my cables over - under style but both the spare one that lives in the bass case and the one that goes between the pedal board and bass have developed a sort of permanent curl to them. Am I coiling them badly, or doing harm by keeping them coiled when they're in storage as it were?

I don't suppose anyone really knows how to play Iron Maiden's Running Free? All the stuff on the net is close but there are some bits I just can't work out and no one else seems to be bothered either. Particularly the run up to the last verse I think it is, I'll listen to it again and jot the timings down if it'll help.

Hardly any time at all, my longest sessions are our get together every other Thursday with the band, probably explains why we're not really making progress. It gets us out and it's fun, none of us want to be rock stars after all. At home, especially as it's holidays, the little ones curtail any practice time.

A bit of ODB3 love over here, I like it because it sounds harsh and tinny which layered with the valve stage on my amp just sounds nasty.

What attachments does it come with? I got the impression from the Zoom website that there were lots of cost options, but it only had the XY head fitted. I want to use it for recording rehearsals and if we're ever lucky/stupid enough a gig. An H6 seems a bit overkill for that with all the inputs and options.

Cheers. I don't have either at the moment so may as well look for the latest if it's available.

Has anyone used or reviewed a Zoom H6N? Is it worth the extra smarties over an H4N?

Alternatively, has anyone got a Delano Hybrid in a P bass?

I've got an Aria PJ with EMG pups that mostly stays at home and a Fender P that mostly comes to rehearsal. I like the P tone on both, but I also like blending the J to give it a bit of mid/treble clank. I'm considering PJ ing the Fender, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it to a bass that cost me nearly £900!

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1429009042' post='2746894'] I use to hate precision bass because is my first bass was a precision. Now P bass is my go to bass. I've made 2 changes to my Fender P bass. First added a J pickup so the bass becomes P/J bass but I use the P pickup most. Second I've swap the P neck with a glossy maple jazz neck. [/quote] Which J pickup are you using? I've got a 5 string P I'm idly thinking of P/Jing but using the American Standard Jazz bridge pickup in it

I've got a Peterson Stomp Classic strobe tuner, which I rate rather highly.

My cheapo Aria Magna 5er is out all the time. My Fender P 5er lives in it's case so gets to leave the house for rehearsals. That's mostly due to having two children around the house. I'd be miffed if the Aria got broken, but livid if the P is damaged

Can it never be tuned to concert pitch or does it need to settle into the semitone down before increasing the tension?
