[quote name='bassbloke' post='318692' date='Oct 30 2008, 10:27 PM']The Bass Bible is a very good book, but I wouldn't neccesarily buy it to learn basic theory - the section on music theory is pretty brief and the book is far better at presenting an analysis of dozens of different styles of contemporary music and a number of renowned players. It's a great source of ideas and inspiration. Do a google search for basic music theory. There are dozens of good sites out there.[/quote] I disagee, this book is a complete load af sh*te, total waste of £20 sterling completely overhyped

may i offer you our most sincere appologies for legendary footballer Paul "gazza" gascoigne's insulting outburst during a t.v interview in your nativeland many moons ago. welcome to the site

[quote name='Absolute-beginner' post='209652' date='May 30 2008, 02:47 PM']I heard one at a shop in Bristol the other day, and was quite impressed that such a small unit could give out such a big sound. However, it was not playing that loudly, so i dont know what its like at full chat! Anyone got one or use one, I'd be interested to hear. Cheers Matt[/quote] I own the flightcase which I use purely as a practice amp, the sound quality is second to none, real clean/crisp sounding. The trouble is that Its only really suitable in a live scenario with a jazz trio at most. You can buy an extention cab which certainly improves matters but even with the extention cab, It will still struggle against drummers and guitarists. The cost of the flightcase and extention cab runs into £1000 and Im pretty sure you can get a far better and more practical amp setup for that price.

Please pay deposit of $1,000,000 American Dollars via Western Union to DR K SMITH. Thank you. lol... just kidding. Welcome to the site mate! Hope to see some tasty porn pics of your basses soon.[/quote] Thanks all for the warm welcome, It took me a while to work out how actually post the initial message so photo's will be a long way away!!! another question If I may, I see many of you have your gear listed whenever you post, how do I go about putting my own list on? this site is quite confusing as I am only part educated

Hello all, Just stumbled onto this site more by chance than anything. A bit about myself, Ive been playing since 93, after hearing "message in a bottle" by the police I felt an immediate bond with the bass, I rushed out and brought a squire p bass and that was where it all began. Can't say Ive improved much since then but at least I'm having fun!! Im currently playing an overwater jazz bass through a markbass rig, I still own the squire p-bass and also a couple of old Fenders. I'm looking to try my hand at 5 string so if anyone knows of anyone selling a quality 5 string(overwater,sadowsky,sei,fodera!!!) for around £1000 then please let me know. regards mark
