I have quite a few pedals - too many in fact! If I'm honest I don't tend to use much more than an octaver, compressor, chorus and distortion and the rest is just 'board candy' or gathering dust in my music room. Generally I expect funk players to have a synth or auto-wah, metal players to have distortion, slap players to have compression etc, so ............. Presuming that a tuner is pedal number 5 - what other 4 pedals/effects should never leave your board/rack?

Do you class Bognor Regis as being in the South East? - [url="http://www.guitarandampshop.co.uk/acatalog/Fender_Jazz_Basses.html"]http://www.guitarandampshop.co.uk/acatalog...azz_Basses.html[/url]

Ouch! (both for the condition of the bass, and the price paid for it!)

[quote name='Brother Jones' post='416778' date='Feb 22 2009, 06:14 PM']I think he's a bit overrated tbh. There are much, much better bassists on YouTube. Also - his facepulling and 'funky guy' persona is getting a bit stupid tbh.[/quote] -1 tbh

I've pretty sure I've seen him playing with John Etheridge a few times - superb feel and playing.

You should learn notation, but to begin with just use tab to play the tunes you want to play - and enjoy learning!

"I buy new strings rather than cleaning and re-using" - because nowadays, I can afford it.

You'll find plenty to tempt you in the for sale forums - Welcome!

He's a cool guy, and the source of many excellent videos!

Very nice Steve!

Thank you.[/quote] It depends on what you mean by affordable? - A cheap no-name cable you can find on ebay, but can you afford for it to go wrong after a few connections/disconnections? Go with OBBM - affordable quality

As OHM says - Laklands are fantastic basses, there must be someone nearby with one you can have a doodle with?

There's some nice basses knocking around at the moment - and that's very nice! :wub:

[quote name='beerdragon' post='416193' date='Feb 21 2009, 03:25 PM']This one looks kind of butchered, expensive though. [url="http://www.bunker-guitars.com/bass.html"]http://www.bunker-guitars.com/bass.html[/url][/quote] Not my cup of Tetleys.

Cham is a great, straightforward and communicative guy to deal with - enjoy the bass!

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='416064' date='Feb 21 2009, 11:42 AM']Imagine my joy this morning when BGM drops through the letter box to find they're doing a Motown article and bassline transcription.Of all the great and wonderful Jamerson lines they could/should have done they pick "your precious love". WTF !!![/quote] That's exactly what I was thinking! - Nice line though

That's what I like - a 'Can Do!' attitude - well done Alex for sorting it out

I can't really understand how they left the factory like this - it's such a simple thing to get right the first time round?
