  1. @nekomatic I usually just take a zoom pedal and plug into the pa
  2. @SamIAm the best reference I found for this was in “Bass guitar for dummies” by Patrick pfeiffer in which he goes through the scale for various chords and identifies which notes are good in strong beats and which make great passing notes on weaker ones it was the first explanation I ever read which made me think “ah!”. If you’re not 100% a music natural like I am not, a simple explanation is worth gold, frankincense and myrrh. Though maybe not so much myrrh next time … as Brian’s mum said
  3. I wasn’t suggesting it, merely agreeing with @SamIAm that people don’t scale attachments in line with their height. For all I know @asingardenof might have the handsize of a premature baby or maybe useful surrogate snow ploughs
  4. Look at Donald trump 6’2” and he has the hand dimensions of a six month old baby
  5. Larger people can have small hands too, or reduced stretch
  6. Agree, even with a 34” the audience won’t even notice that it’s not a guitar and is somehow different … 🤔 get a shortie and be even more inconspicuous
  7. @Shiggs I’ve seen some very petite ladies manage a full sized bass. It can be done, you have to compromise on technique and deviate away from that 100% ideal perfect kind espoused in tutor books. Exactly as Scottish-me @neepheid says. Example Enid from Girlschool is about 5’0 and does just fine with a p bass. Maggie from Fuzzbox is petite and just moves her hand more often
  8. That’s what we do 👍
  9. There’s a left handed part of marketplace here, I believe
  10. Word
  11. This… is … basschat …. you do know that, right ? The place that has never used the words “enough” and “basses” in the same sentence (unless by the word “not”) and where it is actually against the law to reach Michaelmas without selling a kidney to buy a new Fender/sandberg/yamaha #shakeshead#
  12. What do you mean “you get the feeling…” I never imagined it wasn’t exactly that. Curmudgeonly is the word that springs to my mind as a synonym for “basschat member”.
  13. I would not dream of criticising, actually, and I agree with you about “there”, “their” etc @SH73 I cite this as evidence https://mangolanguages.com/resources-articles/9-reasons-why-english-is-a-difficult-language-to-learn/#:~:text=Most English language learners will,require a lot of memorization. Amongst a million other results however I think the only reason that people think English is easy is because seemingly everyone on the globe is exposed to it from infancy and it’s everywhere. Immersion is powerful.
  14. You can find copper neck shims in a pack of various thicknesses on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185779208770?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=q7sruqa8QEW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bgbetJqEQOS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  15. I often disagree with you @nilorius but you shouldn’t apologise for your command of English. I have IELTS 9 (top score) in English and I know that English is a really hard language to learn second. It’s in a league with Chinese for complexity with a vocabulary twice as large as most other languages. I know a German lady who has been in England 20 years, is married to a Brit and has English speaking kids and she still makes major mistakes
  16. Might come back to you

    Evri

    Evri is private vehicles however you’d notice a pattern of failed deliveries against couriers if you looked hard enough
  18. Didn’t they have about 8 pickups ?
  19. Or get a p bass … preferably sunburst with tort and added relic 😛
  20. I forgive you @ead because I’ve got wood. Oh hang on, no …. You’ve got wood in a bass shape
  21. Does anyone have tab for this ? I’ve not found much in google. I’ll take the rhythm Off the notation if needed thanks
  22. With an axe, and a chainsaw for the finer parts of the finish no doubt 🤔
  23. Never let me down, recommended
  24. unless you use an actual road of course
  25. What strange language is he speaking ? I cannot understand him at all.
