For me this guy has it nailed ,and this sound is what i'm after.

I'll have a play around a bit tomorrow night with the knobs and see what it sounds like with all three.The current strings i have on all three of my Axes are Elixer Nanoweb Rounds.

Some good info here,Thanks Frank.

So these Flatounds you all speak of,?any particular make or model,?or are they all much of a muchness.

I find myself playing or trying to play a more vintage type of sound.I watched a video earlier of someone playing the bassline for Street Life by the Crusaders ,which i happen to like a lot. I currently have 3 Bass Guitars in my Arsenal which are,1/ Ibanez SR 500,my favourite one right now, 2/ Sire Version 2 Marcus Miller V7 Vintage Alder 4 String Black, 3/ Yamaha BB 424x. It seems that none of them can replicate the sound i'm after,unless that is down to me anyway,I play through an Ashdown Vintage 12 at home only as i'm not in any kind of band or anything as yet. So i have a question. ?If you were to recommend a certain Bass or even An Amp which would get me on my way ,What would it be. Ps I have short ish Fingers so a neck like a pick axe is not going to help.

I Learnt the whole song using this great guys Tabs,give it a try if your struggling.

Cheers chaps ,that's rate lovleh instrument is that.

In this video clip of this awesome song

Only thing i may change is the bridge,other than that it's fine.

No worries bud ,my Sr 500 will be resigned to the bedroom wall for a while now.

Spot on mate,the necks are are lovely to hold .

It will be much later mate ,all those knobs and things will take some digesting.Ahh the burnt Orange one is that this colour,if so i was after one and was told that they hadn't arrived on these shores as yet,Anyway that Orange one is a dream to behold i think.

And dropped off a Sire Marcus Miller v7 version 2 vintage jazz.So far i'm lovin it,really nice neck and some nice sounds coming out. The truss rod needed a tweek as the strings were sat a little high for my liking sorted that out so it's just about right for me. Can't understand sire not providing an instruction booklet of some sort,but it's all available online i suppose so no real set back. Here's me hoping this relationship will develop into some meaningful love affair,and i'm sure it will.

Next Level.In peoples opinions what would need to acquire to take me up to the next level of being able to hold my own in a band. I am currently in a band of sorts which does rock n roll covers but i am starting to get boarded with it slightly so i may decide to branch out a little but i don't think my gear is good enough to be honest..Here's what i currently own and play... 1/Yamaha BB424X .2/Ibanez sr500. 3/Ashdown 100 amp combi. Basically this is all i use at the moment ,but i feel i need to upgrade. So what should i be looking to buy to take me up a notch. I have a budget of 600 squid at my disposal so help me out.......

Genius that is all,i honestly think this bloke cannot be copied or better'd ......

Yep take your point about my BB and i love it bits,i also i have an Ibanez SR500 which i equally love to bits as well.I play in 60s/ Rock n roll type band and the BB has served me well for that genre,maybe i should try and impart a more rounded sound into the band by going for the Jazz,?what do you think.

I'm in the market for one of these but i have the dilemma about which one to choose as i'm not good at deciding which Guitar to buy i thought i'd get some feedback from yous guys. So which one would you choose....and why.

Hi all, As some will be aware there's a switch on this guitar which lets you use the Neck Pick up,or the Bridge Pick Up,or Both which is the middle setting. What's happening is the Bridge Pick Up setting isn't working...?Anyone shed any light into what needs doing to fix it.

One of the best funk tunes ever written,stand still to this then you're made of stone.

Well the Sex Pistols and other bands sang about Right Wing politics in general and did very well on it,so we thought we would jump into it,and makes some songs about the current political situation,or do people think it would be too controversial, Free Tommy is the name.

A mate and I are thinking about a new band,and we are going for controversy name wise ,We are going to call ourselves Free Tommy.....GOOD NAME THEN CHAPS DO YOU THINK..

Quality song...

?I am after one anyone know where i can get one.

Not having much luck and it won't be happening to day anyway,the RCA connectors need to be connected up to a v amp or Pedal as far as i can see ..Looky here.

I am trying to connect my Guitar up to my Pc using a Behringer UCA202 which i have had sat in my draw for gods knows how long.Anyway because i have no amp at the moment so i thought i would give it a whirl but i haven't the foggiest where to start. ?Can anyone help with how this thing connects up to PC.
