    I Creepered my Stingray!

    Hi all :)

    Got a clear perspex scratchguard from Ebay for my MM. This means you can have any design beneath it, which gives your Bass a completely different look about it whenever you change. Great for branding, or adding a specific 'feel' to fit with the venue you are playing at.

    The first guise I've gone for is a Creeper, because I'm a Geek. :ph34r: I painted the image from an image I got from Google, stuck it onto a black piece of card, and painted the rest black to fit. I 'Bloomin love it.

    So many opportunities, and I can always put the original scratchguard back on if I get bored. :D

    I just love way he plays so melodicaly, but at the same time not sacrificing the low end. Then there is his tone, and the fact he sings as well. Wow.

    It's always an adventure when I break apart Mcartneys lines to teach. He does a lot of 'odd' stuff alongside Lennons and Harrisons guitar playing that sound weird when played alone, but absolutely benefit the song when it's altogether.

    Hi guys!

    Well, we've made it to 100 Bass tuition videos in a row. It's been crazy so far, and I don't think I'm ever going to have to warm up again.

    Each video has taken about an hour to create, record, edit, upload, annotate etc. It's been a lot more time consuming than I thought. Plus, wrist is beginning to ache a bit!

    But, I'm going to persevere!

    Here's the 100 so far. Mnaged to get some blues in, a ton of slap and pop, a few tapping, loads of chord based stuff, rock, indie, funk, punk, jazz and more :)

    London Bass Guitar Show 2013 - 2 and 3/03/2013

    Hello, all! Was great meeting the Basschat guys and gals, and getting involved in the rally. Really friendly people. Really good idea, that is being done for a most worthy charity. Here's a video I did of the day, but there will be more going into each brand more in-depth. I tried a lot of Bass guitars that day!

    The actual Basschat/Rally video will be up tomorrow :)

    Oh. and the Bass guitar in the picture with the big hole in? Really odd to play. Not because it feels bad, but because it feels really nice to play, but then you look down and realise its got a big hole in it, lol. Sounded great (although the Bass show is the WORST place to get an idea of sound!) and felt really balanced. I'd recommend anyone at least try one if they get the opportunity...

    Really looking forward to it! This will be my third year. Hopefully want to meet with Dave from Megadeth :)

    My only criticism is that the slapping and popping can get a bit rowdy. I always walk out with a headache. Its not that I don't like slap and pop (I do it a lot myself oo'er!) its just constant, with loads of people doing it at different times, and at different sound levels. Ow.

    Apart from that, its a great experience. Good to just have the opportunity to chat about Bass with like-minded people.

    London Bass show 2013. Who's going?

    I've been the last couple of years, and love it. Just nice being around other Bass players.

    Looking forward to meeting Dave from Megadeth this year!

    The only problem I have with it is the constant Dakakakakakakakakakakaka from the slap and poppers. It really gets into your head after a while. Thats not a diss on the slap and poppers, as I like to have a good old Dakakaka everynowandagain, myself. Just loads going at the same time can give the 'ol noggin a pounding.

    But all in all, its very cool.

    Cya there!

    Who uses YouTube lessons?

    Wow, that lesson seems like such a long, long time ago. I really had no idea what I was doing (concerning making a video!)

    In my defence, it was one of my first. The reason I joined youtube is because a friend wanted to learn Bass, and neither of us could drive at the time. So I started putting up a few rough lessons for him, with the equipment I had. All of a sudden people were commenting and subscribing. That video is pretty much straight after that.

    It does have a tiny bit of educational value, though so I left it there!

    I like to think the more recent videos are of a better quality. People tend to tell you whats bad on youtube, and its been a learning process for me. 30 thousand subscribers later, and I'm hoping it's getting there...

    Cheers, all!
