    True, but it's how you consider it. If I see an F# major chord I'm not going to think Gb, it's F#. It's also how you write it, one's written with flats the other with sharps. And it's also contextual thing, one is Gb the other is F#. Just one of the confusions in music.

    You don't need to get into double flats or anything. Gb and F# major both contain the same notes, but one's written with sharps the other with flats. You can easily come across songs written in either key.

    That's using enharmonics, which is a good way of looking at them.

    Have you got an ipad or iphone? If you have there are hundreds of drum loops in Garageband.

    They’re over £200 now.

    Steve Lawson uses them, they do look very nice.

    I’m selling a brand new Mono vertigo in the sales section . I posted a thread earlier about gig bags, have a look there i got some very useful replies. The Mono are about £220 now, really expensive compared to what they were 4 years or so ago.

    The problem I find with the Mono is the straps slide down. You start off walking and the instrument is the perfect height, after 10 minutes it’s banging on the back of your legs. Mono gig bags are also over £200 now!

    Possibly best to take him/her to a shop so he can try a few.

    I've been a fan of Mono gig bags for the last 5 or 6 years. The prices now though are quite ridiculous. Is there an alternative that's as good? Someone recommended the Fusion Urban. It'll actually be a guitar gig bag that I'm getting, for my new and very lovely Sei headless 6 string. Thanks

    Now you're asking Maybe something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/IK-Multimedia-Mobile-Guitar-Interface-Black/dp/B00T631UTC/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1517870072&sr=8-7&keywords=audio+interface+for+ipad+mac

    I think you should have GarageBand, you’ll just need an interface to plug between you and the iPad.

    As a Markbass user I'd say they're most certainly not rubbish. In fact they they're the best cabs and amps that I've used. Take a look at their endorsers, people like Marcus Miller for instance who could use any amp he wanted.

    Sold.

    The one band I play with the other guys are all way older than me. The next youngest from me is 62, then the other are all early 70s. As long as you're able and willing to play then there's no obstacle.

    These are absolutely brand new and unused. They were ordered just before Christmas for a 6 string fretless that I was going to purchase. In the end I didn’t buy the bass but bought something else instead that I can’t use these on because it’s headless. I love flat wound strings, unfortunately you’re not exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to 6 string basses. The gauges are .120, .100, .080, .060, .040 and .030. The high C is wound. These are really well-renowned strings amongst the ERB community. They were also very expensive and incurred import charges too, so this price is an absolute bargain. I’d like £40 which includes postage.

    I bought a Mono Vertigo last Summer. Possibly something to do with 7kg bass that I used to carry around in it, one of the straps broke. Anyway, the distributors very kindly sent me a replacement that arrived on Thursday. I'm now the proud owner of a rather fabulous Sei 6 string headless bass, that looks a little lost in this bass gig bag, so I'm going to get the guitar version. Would trade for a guitar version. £140 including postage.

    How old were the rest of the band though? Mayve he was their dad or uncle or something?

    That’s nice! I had one of Tom’s basses a few years ago, they’re excellent instruments.

    Ah, stupid me 2i2.

    Three months old, in perfect condition. Complete with the box and everything that came with it. Selling because I needed more ins and outs. £75 including postage.

    I did lots of gigs with it's smaller cousin the PJB Double 4. It was absolutely fine. That was jazz and solo bass stuff, some ambient ensemble stuff too, that does get a bit loud at times. They're very fussy with placement, ideally they need to be in a corner, or by a wall, so they have something to bounce off.

    USPS will become Parcelforce once it reaches the UK. They add £25 clearance charge on top of whatever you end up paying in import duty.
  25. ambient
    It's about 25% tax/duty on the total price, that includes the cost of shipping. So instrument+shipping costs+25% = the total you'll pay. Plus possibly a fee from Royal mail or Parcelforce if you use USPS to ship it.
