ambient

Yep, there's no problem at all. You may even be surprised at the number of people who will help you carry it up and down stairs at tube stations.

I would play the red circled notes as F#s because there's an F# tied over from the previous bar. You then get an F# tied over to the next bar, that's why you have the natural sign for the next F. Basically play it as it is, I can see what they mean. However - I just did an experiment typing the same notes into Sibelius, and it recognised the first tied note as being an F#, but it wanted another # sign by the next F, it didn't automatically make it a sharp, and wouldn't let me just delete the natural sign.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1429263587' post='2749746'] I think there's more than one model of Crate Taxi, but I remember plugging my bass into one belonging to a friend, and it didn't cut it for bass - no low end at all. I think a couple of people on here have had good results with the QTX battery powered mini-PA units - they look like you get a bit more for the money than with most of the battery powered instrument amps. [/quote] Thanks, that's really what I wanted to know. I'm planning to use it to do my ambient music, so a good low bass reproduction is vital. 😊

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1429226282' post='2749558'] The Roland 15x (guitar amp) is mains only. If your talking about the Roland micro cube rx (for bass) you can put rechargeable batteries in it i suppose they won't recommend it however. [/quote] Thanks, I've changed the title now. A friend has recommended something to me.

I'm looking for a busking amp. Does anyone use one of these ?

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1429183456' post='2748817'] Timmo - Have you tried Transcribe! software (seventhstring.com)? It lets you slow music down by up to 75% (without changing pitch) so you can isolate notes and figure things out. It's not overly expensive and massively useful for study. [/quote] Yeah, transcribe is great, you can change eq settings too to highlight the bass if you need to.

I use a TC Ditto x2 and a Ditto together. Probably overkill for your needs, but the creative possibilities are amazing. The Ditto x2 is a fantastic bit of kit, it does 1/2 playback and reverse, you get 5 minutes of loop, plus the ability to save your loops and reload them.

Have you heard their cover of Herbie Hancock's Butterfly ? Someone gave me a copy of them playing it live somewhere.

You could maybe get one made ?

I really want to come to see you, every time in the past though it's coincided with uni stuff, this looks a possibility though - fingers crossed

It's a nice interface. It has a headphone out, maybe use that. You're spoilt for choice with regard active monitors.

Active monitors yes. You mean a focus rite 2i2 ? I used to use the same interface.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429048593' post='2747506'] Just hit it with a heavy book and it'll go away. [/quote] Won't it just appear on the other side ?

The ridiculous thing is, how much would he actually get for it if he sold it all ? Probably just a fraction of its true cost.

No.

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1429046891' post='2747458'] Yup this has happened to me. You have absolutely no way of winning a situation such as this either with Paypal. They simply refuse to believe the buyer could be telling porkies, and more often than not the buyer can end up with the goods AND a refund. [/quote] My sister-in-law sold an unwanted/duplicate wedding present on ebay. The buyer claimed it was faulty which it wasn't, he got refunded and sent her back an empty box.

In fact thinking about my order from them, I placed the order on the Sunday and it arrived on the Tuesday. Pretty good service in my book.

What annoys me is when you are very specific about yourself and what you're looking for, but still get classic rock and blues bands contacting you 😁

I bought a pedal from their Amazon shop in January. It arrived within 48 hours.

Slightly off topic, but I've been approached by a new member on here a couple of times offering me items that I have wanted ads on for. He even accepted a silly offer as long as I pay by PayPal gift. A friend at uni was also offered something by I think the same guy, going from the area he lives in anyway. I think you can become complacent sometimes.

I guess a cab with 10s will sound clearer than one with 15s.

Don't ask on here, seriously. You'll get loads of different answers, all well meaning, but based on what others would look for. The best thing is to go along to a shop or shops, and try as many as possible. There are 2 reasons why people buy a 5 and then sell them - 1) The buyer thinks of it as a 4 string with an extra string, the B therefore just becomes a thumb rest. 2) They buy the wrong one. There are lots of variables, string spacing, neck profile, neck width etc. You may find one with the perfect width, but the wrong profile neck etc.
