If you're buying from a store and paying that much maybe they could set it up for you ?

I've had the fiver- very nice indeed

The black one was a refin known as black beauty

Stock 62 precision with rosewood board and both covers. He played with just his index finger. I believe they were indeed labella flat wounds in heavy gauge that were never changed unless they broke. I did hear that he often went direct into the desk but also sometimes he amped the b15 On some tracks he doubled the line on double bass, baby love for example One of my heroes

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1419927990' post='2643952'] My band The Disco Prophets have best ever gig we've had for NYE at the best bar/club/venue in Nottingham; it's a v high quality conversion of a beautiful old church. Capacity 650 and manager has made it free entry, as give back to punters (or clever marketing). We are getting extremely well paid; but above all it should be a great party and we're all looking forward to it. The two 1 hour sets will have people dancing all night too. It's disco and funk classics from late 70s to present day. Last song of night is Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars! [/quote] Pitcher and piano ?

There is a Hal Leonard book called Motown Bass that's worth a look. Has willie weeks on the cover

Midnight train to Georgia Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't too proud to beg

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1419774050' post='2642583'] Zoom b3. You get an effects box, drum machine and usb interface with cuebase all in one. [/quote] I have the b2.1 but never got it to work properly on windows 7 64. I now have a windows 8 laptop so maybe I should try again

What can people recommend ? I assume some do midi and some don't ? Not looking to spend huge amounts What are peoples experiences with windows 32/64 bit drivers ? A common whinge on the Amazon reviews Thanks

Spend time improving using all my books and Jamup on iPhone, and to do another open mic night

Not if the cost of upgrading sub par components, or of sub par materials, makes it better economics to buy a better respected bass

Yes gooy buy. Get it set up correctly and it should be fine

[/quote] I agree, my little one was sent flying by a careless, thoughtless pensioner yesterday There are plenty of thoughtful caring young folks about.

I tried it for this very song. 1) see if someone published drum tab for it. (yes, there is such a thing) 2) if not, listen for the bass drum, then approximate where it falls in relation to the beat,. 3) add the snare and hi-hat in same way regarding bpm, a lot of tabs will give a general idea but wyhen you can count the beats, do so for ten seconds, then multiply by six.

i found this - this sound about right ? http://www.talkbass.com/threads/acoustic-bass-guitar-setup-specifications.1016490/

thanks - those numbers are for an electric ? I read above that acoustics are set higher but since mine has action you can park a bus under, I was wondering whats normal.
