If you're simply looking to find the root note and play from the heart n' soul using "the box" for the major scale, then I guess you don't need the keys. What you would then need is the circle of 5ths to know where to go to when you want to go up/down a key. [/quote] Yes - worked for me. I only started learning them after I started using circle of fifths to learn major scales in all keys. I'm in Disneyland right now and in the "be our guest" restaurant there is some sheet music. I was chuffed to spot the key signature straight away. If you see four flats you just count round the flats cycle till you get to the one with four. There's only 12 possibilities so it's not that hard to learn

Known problem - even the mods can't do it Just change the title or update the description

I've seen that one a few times

[quote name='Green Alsatian' timestamp='1339619560' post='1691725'] Either works for me, but the scratchplate's the deciding factor: 60s style - Sunburst + Tort + Rosewood 70s style - Sunburst + Black + Maple I'd have both - flats on the Rosewood and rounds on the Maple. [/quote] Absolutely- I have just such a 70s style replica

thats awesome - i just [s]totally screwed up a cheap set[/s] made an innocent mistake by cutting wrongly on an A string. [size=5]Top tip[/size]

When I saw him on jools he was using a 51 P style bass

So no new music then ...

[quote name='Chrismanbass' timestamp='1395854020' post='2407223'] i vaguely remember from another thread that parcel force specifically don't insure instruments not sure if i'm right but definitely worth checking as i doubt they would advertise that fact well [/quote] They do if you adhere exactly to their specifications

I believed its common to most hobbies. I used to think my camera was limiting me but now I know I don't use it's full capabilities , it's also true though that some cameras are easier to achieve good results from than others

I had a similar mention with a squier VMP Just brilliant

[quote name='sPiKi' timestamp='1395615041' post='2404475'] A road worn Fender of some description or heavy relic [/quote] Gah - beat me to it with generic fender - oriented content

Fender precision - quote old in some ways but still refreshingly new ?

My own experience is that I'm not talented enough to detect any significant sonic difference. Cosmetically rosewood with blocks or maple with dots of any colour please

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1335347350' post='1629508'] On average I do one 'pop' every two years. [/quote] Must be your diet
