I reckon music should be made available to kids who want it, but i think teaching them cookery skills and where food comes from is more impoprtant, along with maths and english. Someone said that the entertainment industry hasn`t suffered during the recession, so it could be a good idea. The problem with that analogy, golf hasn`t seen a reduction in prize money, so perhaps that should also be taught.

Why not sell it to one of the many people who had shown an interest while it was being built??? [/quote]Because they had shown an interest until they saw the finished product i would imagine.

No

Oh, i forgot the link. http://www.juno.co.uk/products/korg-kr-mini-compact-drum-machine-with/519382-01/?currency=GBP&flt=1&gclid=CNfb5abh3MACFSXKtAodKwsAWQ

Has anyone got one of these ? If so, are they any good? Has anyone got any alternative recommendations for the £100 mark please?

I always liked this video. It is all good viewing, but from about 6 minutes, it explains something about the bass drum. I have never played drums, so perhaps it isn`t as hard as he is saying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCKaVHgJyAM

I have the Bass Amplug. It sounds good. It has a volume,gain, and tone dials, plus an input for your cd player or phone to jam along to your backing tracks. I would recommend it. I use mine a lot at work, and in the garden for the nicer weather.It also has a distortion fx button for a different sound, but never really use

[quote name='Old_Ben' timestamp='1410296172' post='2548026'] Do you remember where you saw us play? [/quote]Of course. At Gloucester Guildhall with Planet Rock. I did have a chat to you after. You may remember, but you probably get so many idiots with drink on board, but i told you i had to come back to the guildhall the next day for a bass exam. Anyway, i enjoyed the night, had too much of a hangover and failed

Didn`t realise you were a member here. Saw your band once, and you were awesome. Will have to get to watch you perform again

Thank you

Anyone know where i can get hold of the sheet music for this please.? Can`t seem to find it anywhere.

Good luck with the trio. Maybe get a new singer to replace him. There must be plenty around who would like to come in on a new album release.

Is it better being played on a Musicman Stingray, or Fender Jazz

Thanks for the confirmation. I was surprised the question was answered so quickly. Not many people seem to flirt with this part of the forum

Ahh, of course it is the only major natural key that is flattened. I should have realised that, but as i was just doing that arpeggio on its own and just wasn`t thinking properly.Thanks for that.

In the key of F, is the 7th a D sharp, or E flat? I assume it is a D Sharp, but it doesn`t obviously fit into the Major scale

I wasn`t born to play bass, but i guess i was lucky. I got an illness that gravitated me towards it.

I prefer a CD to just a download. I hated CD`s when they first came out, and took me years to buy a player. I loved Vinyl as a kid. Going to HMV was part of the experience. I missed pulling the inside sleeve out with the photos and lyrics. When CD`s came out, i missed that, the booklets were boring in comparison. I am, happy we still have an HMV in town

It could be worse. If you weren`t in a band, you would be sitting in front of the TV being bored wishing you were in a band

lol, pretty pointless photos really

Ok, thanks for the info

Can a standard Double bass be played left and right handed. They look symmetrical, so i assume you can change the strings around?
