My only Lefty, an Ibanez sr300el, my photography skills are almost as bad as my bass playing skills

Hello again, i have been a member for 10 years. I stopped learning when i had a few surgeries on my shoulder back in 09 . Well for christmas the Missus bought me an Ibanez SR300EL bass and told me to start learning again  . My bass i had back then got blagged by one of the sprogs and they learned to play as well in the meantime 

gonna put mine in the loft then leave the house and contents to my nephew just so he can sell it legitamately on ebay and state he found it in his late uncles loft

to rights we need a lefty section, the other sort can go join guitarchat.com or drumchat .com

my mate is nursing wood over the bruce thomas basslines ebook i bought from one of the websites out there

i`m welsh and me and my wife [b]baa[/b]bara take offence to all this sheep humor, right wheres me wellies i off down the paddock

a quick tech question for anyone who may know
to practice making an amp i have purchased the vellermann 200w power amp kit and i am gonna use it on the wifes electric piano to save her plugging it into my hifi. has anyone built one of these before. going by the plans i can add a volume control to the input and adjust the gain from an onboard pot, but are there any other mods that can be done like adding a treble control and such like????

have any of you got a recommendation for a set of plans to build a solid state bass amp. i want to have a go making one for a bit of fun as it will make a change from building lighting control circuits for the pikeys and their fairground rides

cheers

Ooops!
Not a bass!

Ah well....... never mind! [/quote]

blooming heck its Diarmuid Gavin

is there a basschat facebook group done yet

it is actually a nice looking bass all joking aside

is the jack plug mounted differently to most (i noticed in the guitar shop you had to pull the plug down to remove it ) i suppose it stops unwarranted noise cessation when you tread on the cable

no dont...
ive been muddling along with some books and really finding it hard. i read a thread on here earlier today saying to play music in the background so i tried it this morning using one of the funk samples. after a few slow starts i remembered where the fingers go and finally got the metronome from 80 to 120bpm. whilst it is probably not what the samples are for it helped me. oh and i am not moving like an automaton now either the head is bobbing and the foot is tapping
many thanks
off now to thank the sample poster

and ask him if hes got a fender for a mk1 cortina

ebay it, tell em billy sheehan bought it to practice with whilst on the road and your uncle won it in a competition, and you just found it whilst emptying his loft

i do have a soundscape hard drive recorder thingy faceplate in my loft, had to print a few up cos they was on tomorrows world with the prototype the following week and all they had was a circuitboard in a box

i did find some old japcrap bass in my loft called an itchifani the g-string was quite rough

as long as you also start the i bought a cheap fender copy and tried to flog it on ebay as fleas personal guitar or IBACFCATTFIOEAFPG

funnily enough my dad was a council binman in the 70`s and over the course of 5 or 6 years brought home fender guitars about once a year that just happened to have been thrown out (of course my mum didnt know there was a guitar shop on his route that did layaway

refusing to take paypal as well i think report button should be hit, tempted to ask him if i can visit with a fender specialist to check it over

a five string bass

only 99p start with less than a day left

Is there any difference between a lefty or the other type when setting up a bass. When i purchased the bass on here the strings had been lowered, as i have now started learning i am getting a lot of problems with them hitting the other frets. A shop local to me in port talbot wanted 20 quid just to plug it in and listen.
The only reason i ask is because other left hand specific items i own have different set-up and adjusting techniques compared to the other type

cheers
