[quote name='muttley' timestamp='1383491422' post='2264964'] Daughter has expressed an interest in playing the guitar and is learning a few songs on my acoustic. With the forthcoming silly season I thought I would buy her a leccy guitar. What does the panel recommend for a teenager to learn on? Budget is under £200 (£150 would be nice...). [/quote] Which ever she finds prettiest. Anything else will get zero play.

A single 2x12 will often do the job of a 410 but with more alacrity. 12s seem stronger in the low mids and weaker in the sub ranges (generally speaking ofcourse!) Making them cut through easier. Less speakers may mean more portability. Add a second 2x12 for full stack power or maybe an 18 for monster subs I use a 4x12. Lighter than a 8x10, loud enough for anything, gargantuan tone.

With the rocket on!

So how come nobody in w-europe is manufacturing übertübes? (Now there's a brand name!) There is obviously a demand. Is it filthy labour-intensive work that only illiterate exploitable peasants will take?

I'm with Happy Jack on this one, here's more evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=387ZDGSKVSg

Out of the two I'd vote focusrite. Roland's quadcapture is good too though!

I will not pick up an ugly bass. Supposing someone caught it on camera? I'd lose all my street-cred! I want to look awesome playing bass, it helps. So looks first, then feel. Play it unplugged for a while so you're not distracted by the sound of that £2k+ rig you plugged in to. Lastly the trivial stuff like sound, the missus' anger level, and actually being able to pay for the thing. The bass I mean. At this point you may have reduced your options to one or two examples. Pick one at random, pay, go home. Return it the next day, apologise for your mistake and bring home the one you really wanted, now that sense is no longer a factor. Easy!

Try the GK neo stuff! Other than that it's usually two out of three when it comes to loud, lightweight, low price.

Jazz appears to be a field where highly skilled musicians prove to be very poor songwriters.

[quote name='maldy' timestamp='1382107683' post='2248124'] That would be my ideal and was my plan. I prefer getting practice done early, rather than doing it late in the evening. However, for the last seven months my one year old has been waking several times in the night and getting up between 5:30 and 6 :-( [/quote] It'll get better. Have fun with the little one and they'll be fun for you

Maybe try to place Napalm Death in their historic perspective? Edit: nice to hear you had a good time

Nobody needs a P bass, you're probably just going through withdrawals.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1381917060' post='2245299'] Arrange a charity gig, a HUGE one, get it televised worldwide and invite all your favourite artistes to play. Then jam with them. [/quote] I do this every thursday! Always the same gits turn up

Any tailor/clothes repair/shoe repair/leatherworker/sailmaker etc could stitch a solid strap to a gigbag. Those clasps are always fashioned out of cheap metals or pvc plastic and will not take any sort of abuse. Even a puff of wd40 or siliconspray may triple their longevity!

A tiny desk in the corner of the bedroom However she keeps my basses on display in the livingroom That way she keeps track of any sneak purchase. :/ She makes up for it by being awesome though

[quote name='Stumper' timestamp='1381768840' post='2243431'] the next step is a matter of finding a guitar shop with a decent range on offer, then going along and plugging in to a few. [/quote] Spot on!

"Do it. I'm down to two usable basses and one in bits. There's only one that ever gets taken to gigs though and that's the [B]Stingray[/B]"

That got annoying when he stacked all that feedback. I have beaten guitards down for pulling that sh*t! Good craftsmanship controlling all what was going on though.

All I hear about 8inchers is people raving about the SWR henry. There is a henry jr. 4x8 aswell, that may be interesting to checj out for coupling with your current setup.

I have no problems, back or elsewhere. However private sessions going one-on-one with a pilates certified ostheopathic instructeuse sounds like I may have found a new hobby!
