best regards to all ,mark.(steadily getting better and lovin` it)

how can i cheaply and easily play me` bass through me` computer ,(not good with computers by the way).
it may also help if i mention the bass in use will be active,
all help very gratefully recieved ,
also looking for a headphone amp or very small practice amp as trust me i need to practice a lot more,
many thanks ,mark .

do you mix bicarb and glue 1st before filling??

[quote name='Paul_C' post='444509' date='Mar 24 2009, 11:30 PM']superglue and bicarbonate of soda works well as a slot-filler too - careful though as it gets very hot, very quickly [/quote]
thanks for the tips, i really do not want to remove the nut if i can help it as the other string heights are fine so these tips really help,
has anyone ever tried jb weld ???.
i have used it before to repair plastic components at work it seems quite versatile??
cheers,mark.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='444446' date='Mar 24 2009, 10:18 PM']As long you're careful changing the nut should be cheap and easy.[/quote]

thanks for the re assurance will post the outcome.
and will try my hand at posting pics of the job.

hi everyone hope you are all well!!
got a problem, do not laugh,bought a vintage(make) v900eb active,
i have a problem with the e string at the nut...it is too low ,relief on the neck is fine .
i think it has been either set too low or filed out ???.
question 1.should i replace the nut and shim up a little
quetion 2. this is where you all laugh...can i build up the groove with someting and re file??
help please guys.
i know lots of questions will follow this posting as a lot of set up issues are raised but i have explored all routes on curing this annoying problem,
it causes the e string to vibrate on the frets [b]behind[/b]my left hand,all other aspect of the set up are fine to the best of my research/knowledge.

no it is not new.
yes i know they are not great.
i am a bit scared of removing the nut .but not that scared .
any and all constructive advice welcome.


cheers guys ,
mark.

thanks for the warm welcome!!!.

have always tried to avoid gas as it is explosive and does`nt smell too good!!(no offence it`s a joke).

as for just aquiring a laser you lucky b****rd enjoy it, they are as smooth as a baby`s bum i am very jelous,,,,, ,,,,,seriously very jealous.

terry? ...another illusion shattered!.

can anyone suggest good strings i never understood guages etc any advice welcome,

will continue search for the elusive active laser,
cheers all, mark.

hellllloooo, right where to start ?,please excuse my inane rambling as i am somewhat tangental,
just decided my midlife crisis is to go back to bass playing turned forty but cheaper than a mistress or sports car (do not want one of them as i have a bike,not part of my mid life crisis always tried to keep riding(suzuki gs750 heavily modded) but had a break of seven years cos of daughter.....shes great!. ).

never was much cop on a bass but really did use to enjoy it and after getting meself a aria pro 2 magna series and a cheap 40 watt amp i am finding despite still being crap i really like it as it is not engineering d i y or working.

so here is the first in along string of drivel !.

always had trouble with me right hand speed tend to fall over myself a lot if that makes sense or at best a dubious dubl`e entendre` i know i spelt it wrong but who cares too old to be bothered now,any ideas or stratergies welcome or net help???.

used to play a aria heritage laser (active) ,,now realising i never should have sold it played much smoother with that old crate so if anyone fancies a swap for my pristine magna mail me!!, even if the laser is scabby as long as it is straight i dont mind.

like playing all sorts but love geezer butler(sabbath) have managed to hack out a few songs in the past two weeks all be it a bit sketchy but loadsa fun and my daughter is well amazed as she thinks i am a boring old fart these days, she likes the white stripes and ...wait for it queen!!!.
so we have lots of time together when ma` is at work laughing loads and taking the pee out of each other other stuff i like includes audioweb,the cult ,thin lizzy,lynarnd skynard,and some 70`s and 80`s rock,,,boring eh?.

well thats me really up here in the wilds of norfolk,
i suppose i need to practice more and develop my own styles etc and learning to read music is the next step.

i have no problem rattling out a scale but loads of problems following some song and figuring it out, it all seems or i make it seem more complicated than it should be especially when some of my friends who play six strings rattle `em out no probs.

this is starting to sound depressive it should not be, i love the bass and think it is and has always has been a vastly underated instument ,
just listen to dirty women by black sabbath or for a simpler song rain by the cult without the bass they are bugger all.

hi ,,love to all,and once again hello,
yours all bassed up yet again 15 years on , mark.
