Mr Fretbuzz

Since I've started to play my new Fender P Bass on my rumble 15 amp it's started to pop which it doesnt do with my squire..I take that as a good sign for my fender and an indication I need a more powerful amp, speaker set up...just got to convince the wife now :-D

I've got the Rumble 15 and it is fine as a practice amp Its good for playing your iPod/ipad through at the same time... use mine everyday

Ace, thanks a lot. They've brought out a couple of new 4. X 10 cabs..one is 4 ohm and the other 8. Not sure why they would do that .... I guess the 4 ohm is more powerful in one unit and the other is more flexible so you could add say a 15 inch 8 ohm cab? Would it be worth adding a 15 or just get the 4 ohm 4x10 ?

I'm thinking of getting a mag 300 or 600 head but don't understand ohms. Some cabs are 4 and others 8. The head says that minimum inpedence is 4 ohm. What's it all about guys? I'm thinking I might want to get one cab and maybe add another if that's possible or the other alternative is to get a 300 or 600 combo and add to that. How many cabs can you add to a head unit? What ohm do they need to be? How many cabs can you add to a combo and what ohm do they need to be etc I'm going to meditate now...ohm ohm :-D

I've bought both my Basses with them...... No probs and they replaced a faulty cable for free quickly :-)

Fender sent me a leaflet and I imagine it's on their website....distances vary according to the type of P... For vintage ones it's about 3 mm on the low and 2 mm on the high string..... Had a fiddle with mine the other night...I think the distance is measured from the bottom of the E. and G strings, holding down at the last fret and measured to the top of the metal pick up sticking up rather than the plastic below it

Yep, there are loads of blues method books out there with CDs..I've got a load of them and I love trying to play them :-)

My first guy was Mr Thrash..... Heavy metal guitarist.. Learned a little bit of stuff but started to get hacked off when either he was texting during my half hour or soloing to my scales etc :-( bombed him out and started learning myself.. Learned a lot more and cheaper too.

[quote name='lee4' timestamp='1339786189' post='1694469'] Maple neck on a P-bass has to be the best combo ever. [/quote] I wasn't sure but go to agree with you now :-). When you look closely you can see the maple grain which is lovely...just been playing mine badly :-(

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1339743203' post='1693493'] Best part of a get together when people bring their rigs and guitars. Great chance to see, hear and play gear that you've not seen or heard before. Also if you've got something you're looking to sell or trade bring em along. Sounds good.....I'd also be interested in your Harley's! ;-) [/quote] I'll ride down on my chop or Fatboy if there is a crap bass I can noodle on :-)

I think local bass players ought to have a free meal at Americanos for the sever distress it's caused us today :-)

+1. I might have inferred it in jest but agree that my Bass playing ought to be reported to the Police :-D

I'd be interested to showcase my Fretbuzz :-)

Yep you've got to think out of the box on this one :-) Get even or I guess put it down to Band Rehersal and the Rock n Roll experience :-(

........oh and another thing.... Book yourselves again under a different name and I'll dep for you.....I can't play so they'll lose ALL their customers :-)

[quote name='jjay69' timestamp='1331568777' post='1574976'] Thats rather typical of Swansea, it's an angry place, i know, im from there. Saying that it wasnt like that in my day when we played the likes of the Singleton, the Cardiff arms Coach house etc proper music loving pubs, 2 of which are closed now of course.. [/quote] Me too...all you've got to do is put a note up at the Cardiff City Football club that you are holding a free concert there. There won't be any venue after that when you don't show :-)

Need a guy to double as a Bass Stand? I'm your man :-)

Ace Bass..........but watch out the Rats don't chew on it

Thanks for all your advice guys..I've fixed it :-) one thing I didn't check last night was the action..it was far too high, I've lowered all 4 strings and each note each string are spot on now :-). ..... And no fret buzzes either :-)

I can't play any Bass :-)

You'll have to get a P Bass to match your socks Paul 5 :-)

Bump. ... Need help with my E String but my G String is ok :-)
