  1. Sorry if this is not the correct place to post this, I thought this is where it would be best suited. Please move if I'm mistaken! Selling this loaded classic 60s lacquer body. I bought this brand new from a reputable seller on eBay that strips down Fender instruments to sell separately. I have since purchased a flea signature, and have found my ideal bass in that. So this body has to go. Everything is completely stock and brand new condition, as its never had a neck so hasn't been played. I think these basses are at the much higher end of the Mexican series, they have received great reviews, especially as it boasts a nice nitro finish. Price includes postage from Fife, Scotland. Collection is also welcomed. Anything you'd like to know, please ask. Thanks.

  3. The course is part of the UHI in Scotland. As far as I'm aware it's one of the main, if not the main place to get an education in music in the East and Highlands of Scotland. I expect it to be popular for that reason, and suspect the standards are higher than average at least, but I just don't know.
  4. I actually like this suggestion, had a listen and learned up to the 2nd verse last night. Gonna chip away at it again today then make my mind up, but cheers for the suggestion!
  5. This was my thought too, because I'm so comfortable with it, I can easily improvise or throw in some fills of my own to show a bit more of what I can do.
  6. Audition Applicants are asked to give a short 5-minute performance on their principal instrument. Performance material should demonstrate your level of technical, musical and interpretative skills. In addition, you may also perform on a second instrument or equivalent (e.g. composition and creative skills; music technology including computer-based music production).
  7. Hi guys, so as the title suggests, I have a college audition and am looking for a bit of input on the audition song choice. My audition is the 13th of March so between work and commitment, I don't have a huge amount of time to be learning anything too above my ability. The course is to do a BA in Applied Music, and I got through the first part of the process by recording a performance of until you come back to me by Aretha Franklin. This time it' a live one and I'd obviously like to top Aretha. I was thinking of doing Sir Duke, because I know it and can play it well enough to get through it with minimal hiccups. However, I'm concerned it won't be 'impressive' enough to get me on the course. So basically, what do you guys think, and if not sir duke, do you have any suggestions?
  8. Hi guys, recently decided I want to make the jump from 4 to 5 strings. I've played my P bass for about a year now, but feel like I want to try a different favour of bass, something more modern with plenty tonal options. After looking at basses within my budget, I think I've narrowed it down to the 2 mentioned in the title. But I feel I'm at a bit of a stalemate in my decision making process. On one hand, I really enjoy the look and sound of the Ibanez, but my main concern is string spacing. I'm worried I won't take to it as well, and it may pose as a problem for slapping down the road. I do like the 3 way mid switch though. The yamaha, has the wider string spacing, active/passive switching... But it doesn't have as nice a look as the Ibanez, in my opinion of course. They both seem quite versatile, and playing in a cover band, that's important. Although I know there is more to playing thay how it looks, the difference that creates is, the nicer the bass looks, the more excited I am to play both, and I feel more inspired while playing. That might seem a bit daft, but it does have a minor effect. So the reason I'm here, is to ask what your guys thoughts are on the two, what experiences have you had or little nugget of advise can you pass on about either or both basses. Cheers!
  9. Hi guys, As stated above, I change the bridge on my P to a gold Gotoh bridge. I've left the ground wire in the same spot under the bridge, but I just realised I don't actually know if this is correct. Is it okay to ground to gold? I can't find anything onlie, and sorry if it seems like a daft question! Cheers.
  10. For what it's worth mate, I always find listening to the music I want to play helps, or even any music and pick out the bass and try to visualize what's happening on the fret board. But that's just me, I could never just listen to a lesson and take anything significant away from it without being able to play along, but I'm sure there are plenty people who can. Listening and visualization are big ones for me.
  11. Thanks guys. Managed to figure it out. It was to go through the hole to make contact with the bridge. Lesson learned for next time! Thanks again for the replies.
  12. Maybe it is, but it hasn't been soldered. There is also a wire soldered to a small pice if metal that I think is the ground.
  13. Hi Guys, I have a Mexican P-Bass and I thought it was sounding a little muffled so I took off the pickguard to have a look. There were no loose solders or anything, but I've attached a few pictures of a rougue wire. It was inserted into the small hole that I've taken a picture of. It wasn't attached to anything, and can't go anywhere I can see. So, is there something I've missed, or can I get rid of it? Also, if anybody has any ideas about my muffled sound, I'd be happy to hear your ideas! Cheers.
  14. Thanks for all the responses guys. I'll be popping my cans on and doing some listening tonight and throughout the day tomorrow.
