Great songwriter and entrancing performer

My decision to go will be by necessity last minute, due to family commitments.
I hope to stay over as it will be my first time, and I might as well enjoy it!!

Hi all,
I play 4 and 5 string Cort electric basses, a "bitsa" fretless, and a Fender semi acoustic. Amps wise I have a 180w Behringer cube, and a 1000w Orange Terror amp with two Orange cabs for the bigger places.
Anyone else on here suffer from chronic nerves on stage? I have been playing a while now but struggle badly with nerves.
Anyone have any ideas on how to cope?
Thanks

When I started playing Bass the bass I bought had roundwounds on and I hated them - nasty, sharp sounding things which I couldn't get on with and I made little or no progress in my playing.
BUT........!!
A friend (the guy who now looks after my basses, repairs, etc) suggested I try flatwounds. I did and I use nothing else on my electric basses. I recently found a set of ovalwounds (yes really!!) and put them on my Semi Acoustic Bass and they sound and play lovely.
I find D'Addario stings the most consistent quality.
Give flatwounds (or ovalwounds) a go. I wouldn't use anything else!

Hi All,
I am thinking of starting to learn DB but I don't know anyone who teaches it here near Swansea and I don't want to buy an instrument on the chance I don't like it/cant play it!!
Any suggestions/pointers?
Ta muchly in advance....

Hi Adam,
We all have to start at some time on these forums, and believe me when I say there are no stupid questions!!

I saw them last night in Cardiff, and they still awesome musicians. They are getting on (except for Steve Morse!) and that has its effects. But it was a lot of fun last night. Roger Glover and Ian Paice were having a ball!!

I have put this in my diary and I hope work doesn't get in the way.......
See you there I hope.
I will be coming from Swansea. -
New to this forum, but I have been playing bass for some 2 years and guitars in general for 5 years.
Started late in days (aged 57 now) but loving it
Going to start looking for someone or ones to play together with somewhere in South Wales and giving it a go!!
Looking forward to using Basschat..
