  1. [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1320238732' post='1424105'] If it wasn't for people replacing the sale price with the word 'SOLD' when they sell stuff. [/quote] Plus expecting what they paid for it 3 months earlier.
  2. Try carrying a squash ball and just keep squeeshing it tight and then slowly release your grip , not so good when driving but can be carried in a jacket pocket without anyone knowing. However avoid carrying it in your trouser pocket or you will be collared by the law.
  3. This deserves a bump. Trying to trade my 4 string fretted for a fretless.
  4. She is a blonde babe. Each to his own. But sorry have never got on with Warwick's (each to his own again). Really in no rush to move the bass as I know I will most likely regret it. But a fretless would lesson the loss when I start sliding those harmonics up and down the neck. At the moment been transcribing some of Pino's basslines and a fretless would make the enjoyable task a lot easier.

Bass has the Flea bridge but no mutes fitted, these can be purchased from the Ernie Ball site for £22.50 [url="http://www.ernieball.co.uk/products/productdetail/Music+Man+Stingray+4+Mute+Kit/part_number=M05502/574.1.4.3.100804.0.0.0.0?pp=8"]http://www.ernieball...04.0.0.0.0?pp=8[/url]& Usual few very, very minor knocks on headstock and body but considering bass is 15 years old in great condition. Have seen guitars a year old with more. Finish is gloss/matte. Comes with Stagg case. At the moment have packaging from my new bass so if shipped will pack with this also.

  8. In my opinion you can also become bogged down with the theory and what you play can often have no bearing on the chords being played.To keep it simple, if the chord playing is a C and you play a root note of Bb then all you have done is now made the chord a C7. Its all to do with what sounds and feels right and not what in theory may not seem right. I would suggest you practice your reading skills, and I dont mean just playing tunes you know and like, play each and every genre including songs you dont like, this will not only give you a more working understanding of music but will also improve your reading ten fold. Bass being part of a section is not the easiest to practice without the other members and to this end I have put together some files which I have put together for this end which I have made available to all BCers. The transcriptions I have downloaded from the net with a few of my own so you may well have seen most before. What I have done is made a movie of the tune with the transcription visible so no need for scrolling or trying to remember what the original tempo might be. [url="http://www.4shared.com/folder/mSs8voRJ/_online.html"]http://www.4shared.com/folder/mSs8voRJ/_online.html[/url] I must just say the files are for educational purposes only.
  9. [quote name='Gareth Hughes' timestamp='1319235297' post='1411826'] This is, I do believe you will all find, THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE greatest thing since sliced bread!!!!! Thank you so much for doing this. Right now Chaka Khan's 'All Night's All Right' is grooving across my screen. Too much fun to be had with this. Thanks again. [/quote] Steve Glasgow did the original transcription plus several more I have used so a huge thanks to him.
  10. Had a complaint from 4 shared about the files so I thought it only a matter of time before Dropbox did the same.
  11. Just a heads up. An Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5 has variable string spacing upto 20mm. Not sure what year this was introduced mine is a 2009 model.
  12. Have an audition for Sunday and trying to put together the transcriptions so I can learn them. If anyone has any of the following it would allow me the time to learn rather than work out and learn. Point me in the right direction to buy a PDF download would also be good. Queen - The Show Must Go On Level 42 - Heaven In My Hands Queen - Im Going Slightly Mad It Bies - Kiss Like Judas Free - Wishing Well Mika - Grace Kelly Toto - Africa Supertramp - Logical Song Muse - Newborn This is just part of the list and I have worked out the basics of each song already just no time to work out fully. Thanks in advance.
  13. Iv'e not really thought about a sale but if pushed I would say £800.00 would be reasonable considering it has also had a set up and a new set of strings. If it was a trade then I would expect a higher value. You are more than welcome to come and give the bass a try. I would also be happy to bring it through to you if you prefer.

  15. Any chance of being able to buy books as a pdf download?
