Local Music shop adverts - You've done PartySounds.co.uk, which is search-able via postcode & distance. Just need to wait responses I guess. Good Luck anyway. HTH Allie.

Hello John. Welcome to this great place known as BC. Think as you progress, as BJ has said, you'll discover that the plectrum gives a completely different sound to fingering, but by all means, start with the Plectrum first if you find it easier. Plus there are many free resources on-line as Bass tutorials, but it's a case of searching for the stuff to suit your basic needs. Main thing is to take it slowly (there's no race) and listen to and practice different songs as much as you can, but importantly and above all is to enjoy it and have fun. There are loads of really friendly and knowledgable folks here, so if you get hung up on anything that you need help with, just post up in the General Discussion forum and someone is sure to get back to you. Hope you enjoy it here. Allie.

Hello organic Welcome to BC. Allie.

I'm not a drummer, but guys I've played with in the past, seem to suggest that it's some kind of an aid to tuning and a very personal preference. IIRC, the sound can be easily messed up if the hole is too large, or cut into the resonating skin in the wrong place.

Colin Keefe did some nice work on a neck last year for me: [url="http://www.keefeguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.keefeguitars.co.uk/[/url] and he has a vid on You-Tube: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUCwqQkYpDc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUCwqQkYpDc[/url] HTH Allie.
