Hi Folks Just wondering if anyone was aware of a DB tutor in the Glasgow area just wanting the basics really to make sure I'm not going wrong. cheers Stevie

[quote]FRETBOARD ! ! wash your mouth out[/quote] Oh the shame!

It's like a 1/4 size body but the string length is 1/2, and I went to Ken who I can't recommend highly enough!

Got the wee bass I found the barras market in Glasgow back from the luthier, fixed the crack replaced the bridge and planed the fretboard. Imho it looks great, apparently its bigger than a 1/4 body but smaller than 1/2. The luthier, who was brilliant, really liked it he had a cheaper version of the bass and a local jazzer has an almost identical bass, so he was knocked that there were three in such close proximity. Obviously it has a smaller body so less bass but it still packs a punch and I reckon amplified it will rock, and you can take it on the bus

I bought a K&K bass max which I'm quite pleased with, I was looking at using my sansamp bddi as a pre but it's a bit overkill I think, so I have just bought PJB Bass Briefcase which incorporates a bass buddy, so I was hoping I could DI at bigger gigs monitor with the briefcase , we shall see.....

Is it the these? [url="http://scotthinds.tripod.com/"]Scott Hinds vids[/url]

I think you mean slap bass where the string slaps against the finger board and you then slap with your hand.

The 2008 festival will take place on the evening of Friday 26th, Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of September, at the Hall, Lydney. Abel Ganz are playing on the Sunday 28th.

what do you reckon for a gigbag?

Cheers Andy my lovely girlfriend actually paid for the repair as a birthday present so I don't really know the exact price but quite cheap I think! You didn't get the one on ebay did you, someone saw another Golden Strad?

New pics

Sorry to hijack the thread but what is the best way to avoid this happening??

Prog rock at Stereo in Glasgow

Satellite short scale black and white precisionish looking thing, sh*t but done the job!

I'll let them know Jon I'm sure they'll be pleased to hear from you.

[quote]Are Davie & Denis still part of AG? I used to to sing - rather badly I might add - in a band with Davie & Denis[/quote] Yes they both are what band was that then and I'll say to them? I've been playing with those guys in various bands for longer than I care to remember.

Yeah Andy got them from the barras taking the big one thru to a guy in Edinburgh tomorrow he sounds like an excellent guy so fingers crossed!

Just a quick bump, just about to load the tubular bells into the mini

Cheers guys I'm going to wait till the bass Luthier has some free time it's the sensible thing to do I might see if I can source some of the fittings for the B+H before I get a spot in the guys schedule. I'm in the process of seeing what I can beg, borrow or steal but quite prepared to pay the cash really. Good idea about the cello, my girlfriend has her eye on the 1/2 and considering she encourages my bass obsession (2 double basses, a cello, 3 bass guitars, a guitarron, plus numerous keyboards and guitars) I think I should keep on her good side. She'll probably end up a better player than me though Absolutely spot on about a school department probably not economical to repair when you can get a brand new Chinese instrument that can do the job for the same cash...... but they are so beautiful they can't go in the bin!
