Invicta, thanks very much for replying, i found this useful, was beginning to think I had asked a dud question! I will keep as it is ,i think.

hi, I have a cheap DB, one of the gear for music ones, i bought SH. I restrung with innovation silvers (not the silver slaps). i Can get E A and D string to hit the fingerboard but G is really hard to get the click, Is it worth buying a G string with less tension? it may be the set up, i have around 10mm space between finger board and strings? a professional setup would cost more than what I paid. has anyone changed the D and G to make it easier to slap? will the strings lose the tension over time? they are about 2 months old. thanks for any advice

thanks for the advice, i will take both up!

[attachment=225772:DSC_0661.JPG] nice for the front room if i lose interest (not)

Suffering from manic depression i have bought a saxophone, 6 electric guitars, several amps including a JJ burnel and 2 cabs throwing out 800 watts in the spare room and a full acoustic drum kit. Sold most at a loss after losing interest. Recently after listening to one of my fav bands the stray cats again i suddenly decided i wanted a upright bass. I managed to find a gear for music white one on Gumtree for just £230 (bloke selling all his kit cheap), its immaculate and i love it , i know its cheap but its a good start to see if i can stay interested. I have strung it with innovation super silvers (it had steel strings on) and bought a pick up and connected to one of my amps. I love the sound even though it probably sounds shoddy to experienced players. Actually managed to play the majority of stray cat strut which has really given me the bug and now addicted to the upright. May need a lesson to help me hold it correctly, finger etc but appears nobody near in the north east (Durham), Getting a little bit of stiffness in my neck and fingers tingle a bit after long bouts playing but otherwise good.

stomp brothers johnson and love come down, evelyn king do it for me

timex social club - rumours

i saw grandmaster melle mel and the furious five about 35 years ago (think thats what they called themselves, GM flash was no longer part of it). it was at the birmingham odeon in front of around 200 people. at the end they introduced their new single which was a soul record with one of the group singing at a really high pitch, michael jackson like, problem was he was miming and the tape/vinyl record got stuck!!! must have been a vinyl they were miming to? everyone jeered but was sh*te show anyway

i have just turned 52 but although age stresses me, its just a number, and now i follow Lemmys philosophy "[color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]“I don't see why there should be a point where everyone decides you're too old. I'm not too old, and until I decide I'm too old I'll never be too f***ing old"[/font][/color]

good luck, its your bass so i hope its sorted

get a refund ,it could be it was never theirs to sell, better safe than sorry

life on mars, taped it from a top of the pops album and ashes to ashes, heroes, and starman

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1451984247' post='2945144'] We once had a drummer who showed up for an audition with his girlfriend who sat in the corner chain-smoking beside him. That didn't really work out. I hate when the player doesn't match the brochure. A guitarist auditioned once, had emailed us a couple of instrumental tracks, really technically superb stuff. He showed up, looked the part, but then took a bottom rung starter guitar from the case. First alarm. He then set up his amp with that horrible "wasp trapped in a tin" kind of tone. Second alarm. He told us he had learned our songs, originals, We asked him which one he wanted to play first. "The first one" he said. He didn't know the names of the songs. Third alarm. He then struggled his way through a very basic riff which starts the song, so we all joined in. When, after for bars, we switched to the verse he kept playing the same riff. Even when we went to the chorus, yep, he kept playing the intro. That was the only riff of ours which he knew and even then he couldn't actually play it. Our drummer, at this stage, had buckled up in laughter and had to pretend he ripped his bass drum skin to put an end to the madness. [/quote] lol, this made me laugh!,
