I've been playing for thirty years and never learnt any theory whatsoever until a few months back when I started lessons. I am now doing the same as you, learning scales and arpeggios. These have been available in a variety of forms for years, obviously, but I think, personally, I need the motivation of a teacher otherwise I feel kinda overwhelmed by the amount there is to learn potentially. Also my teacher allows me to decide what direction the lessons take and I'm finding I'm applying it in my writing. I can wholeheartedly recommend being taught regardless of how long you've been playing, it's been a real eye opener for me.

I have moved to short scales mainly because of small hands but the weight was also a serious factor. I’m a large chap and the shorter scales look ridiculous when I play them, I feel the best way to deal with this is not to give a 5h1t.

I’ve jus put La Bellas on my Squier Jaguar and they are great.

Amp Hum Help is a great song title, perhaps by Bow Wow Wow.

As always I see it as my duty to suggest a middle way between full scale acoustic basses and ukulele basses in the shape of the Taylor GS Mini-e Bass, II've got one and it's a gem. I have noticed a lot more companies making these lately, Stagg, Ibanez, Ortega, Guild...

@BreadBin is absolutely correct, B L A C K... ...do not displease us. 😈

It rather pleases me too!

That’s a great resource, thanks.

Thanks Matt, let me know.

Actually sublime...

Well I had my Rob Allen Mouse up at Guitar Technical Services for a set up. As Strings Direct is about a mile from my gaff I popped over and got myself a set of La Bella 760N strings to be put on the Mouse when it was being set up. Turns out I bought the wrong size! So I found myself sitting outside Bass Direct at 9:30 this morning waiting for it to open so I could get the correct set and run them over to GTS to complete the set up. Luckily the strings that don’t fit the mouse do fit the Squier so first I’m going to try those.

That dude is epic.

Thanks team, a good range to try out there...

Can anyone recommend a quality set of flatwounds for a 30" scale Squier Jaguar?
