[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1392502852' post='2369559'] Always make your most important financial decisions while drunk. I know I do. [/quote]I like that

While lusting over a Roscoe, i have watched several clips of them being played. I also listened to some clover basses, and many others for comaparison. My question is, while watching clips, does the gear that the bass is played through make a massive difference? Lets assume the Roscoe is a lot better sounding than the Clover if they are played through the same amp. As the people rarely tell you what amp, lets assume the Clover is being played through a superior amp. Would that make it sound better, or does it also depend on the gear that the video is recorded through. Or does it all equal out because the recording listened through my 20 watt desktop speakers make them sound equal? I hope someone can get my gist on this, as i am not sure i have done my best at trying to explain what i mean

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1392462059' post='2368984'] Oh christ, and it's THAT song as well! Yeah, I'd heard the song (unfortunately) but never seen the video. Might have gone with a different idea if I'd known... ...but thank you both, I'm really glad you like the song! [/quote] I wouldn`t take much stock in my criticism for the video. I have never been in a band or made a video. It isn`t bad to be honest, it just reminded me of the Nickleback song, but i have never seen the videos you based it on. Why didn`t you showcase the singer as you have a new one? I gotta admit i would`ve preferred to see who the singer was in the first video a lot more, then maybe do the next video with the theme that you took with this one. I think it is great that you are doing all this though,

Googling Jack and Danny will bring up spme surprising results

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1392423877' post='2368753'] That's a matter of opinion but the Phantom was a common guitar and bass with Beat Groups in the 60s. The Dave Clark Five & The Hollies (Tony Hicks also played a Phantom XII) both featured the guitar versions and Brian Jones played one on many Stones recordings. [/quote]It may well have been popular with beat groups, it still looks homemade to me by someone who wanted to build a bass but didn`t have enough wood to make a proper body

I just bought a ticket for the Saturday. Bit of a rip off charging £1.97 booking fee and you have to print the ticket. Looking forward to it now

Now this is a wierd ungly looking thing. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unique-Vox-Phantom-Bass-Left-Handed-Lefty-L-H-with-Hard-Case-and-Accessories-/261387602832?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cdbea4b90

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1392410841' post='2368557'] Aha! That'll be it then. No, it had a rosewood board and was more white/cream than yellow. [/quote] Don`t a lot of the old cream Fenders turn a weird colour? I think i read somewhere it was called banana yellow or something similar

Is this real? I get a little suspicious when you don`t get a good shot at the front of the guitar http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ken-Smith-Proto-J-5-string-bass-Left-Handed-/251446036969?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a8b5a09e9

Lol really? I thought everyone would hjave seen it. But the good news is i liked your song. http://youtu.be/DmeUuoxyt_E

That would be someone boss hm2 that probably got nicked. The biggest legalised fences in your local town

I like the song, very good. Not sure about the Nicklebackesque video though.

I am not sure if i qualify to give recommendations as i have only owned 1 pair for my bass, which i got at Christmas. I have the Phil Jones PJB 850H. I am really pleased with them. I mainly use them with an amplug, and they sound great. A really good deep bass tone. Through my amp, they are just as good through the headphones. As i say, i have nothing to comapre them with, but i haven`t felt i have been short changed with them. I paid £79 plus £5 for postage from Bass Direct

I have heard of the key signatures. I never really understand what it means

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1392194776' post='2365720'] Rob is right. Low G (first line) is the third fret on the E string whilst the high G (top 'gap' between the top two lines)is the open G string, 5th fret of D string, 10th fret of the A string or 14th fret of the E string, all of which are the same note. Notation not only tells you which note to play as in G, it tell you which G to play. Otherwise, you would be all over the place. [/quote] Ahh, now that makes sense. I knew the notes in between the staffs, and knew that you can add extras by putting in your own staffs. I never realised it was to tell you where to play. I always wondered how you knew where to play the notes. So if the notes are in the 5 staffs that are printed, Open A, would be in between the first and second staff lines, the B on the second line would be A string, 2nd fret, C 3rd fret, E on the D string, 2nd fret ect, down to open G between the last 2 staffs. If i wanted to play an A on the 17th fret for example, where would the note be on the staffs?

If you have a sheet of manuscript paper with five staff lines, is there any difference in putting the G on the bottom line, or in between the top two lines?

Perhaps you should have told the person that it is a mistake often made by non musicians

Most people on here go to the 7th fret, from the posts i have read. I have been known to go to the 20th, but i am not a real bass player yet.

ok. i thought the Clover Avenger was a prcision bass. No idea why i thought that. I assumed the Peavy was some jazz type bass. Again no idea why

Never noticed until the other day. I have a Peavey Milestone 3 with 20 frets, and my Clover has 24 frets. Why would you want a bass with less frets, and do many basses come with 20 frets?

I like the Fender cable i got of Ebay. It looks like the cable you used to get of old irons. I bought some cheaper ones, but the soilder kept snapping on the plugs

You just have to trust what the teacher says, My teacher says that it makes no difference, He basically told me it is like learning to drive a car. You get taught how to drive properly then the confidence allows you your own way when you are ready. He seems to liken most things to learning to drive a car to be honest
