cheers for your help guys its much appreciated i will most definately look at the links you have provided do you by anychance no of any good teachers in the essex area? i deally im looking for someone who plays just bass not bass guitar piano kazoo or whatever?

Hi Guys, Ive never really been on this forum before although i have been a member for a while! so let me introduce myself my names Jon and i live in Essex i have been playing bass self taught for 6 years or so and I'm really not very good! this weekend i bought a brand new bass from PMT and its inspired me! i really want to be good! firstly i would like to have lessons and also i would love to know what i can do at home to improve like as in what to practice etc. the way i have learnt is through tabulation i.e. i hear a song and think hmm like that bass and learn it but i don't know any notes or scales or well anything really just the songs that I've learnt and practiced! i play in a band and to say the least i am the weakest link so what do you advise and what should i do!? Thanks for your help! Jon English

cheers buddy il give it a try tonite!!

well i picked it up last nite and it sounds really clean and its nice and loud!! gotta test it against my sisters drum kit to see how they compare!! I'm going to try and work out how to adjust the sustain (if you can do that im a noob). Condition wise the carpet material round the cab is bobbly in places and has got a small (un-noticeable) rip at the bottom might try gluing it down if that works?? The amp (although old) in really good condition and works fine!! So i think i got a bargain!! the guy i bought it off was really nice and looked like he new his beans as there was gear and guitars everywhere lol. still now i just gotta learn the songs for the gig!! thanks jon p.s. if this doesnt sond right its cos i only started playing bass like 5 months ago lol

well just thought it let you no that i got the laney hartke combo for £150 dont no if this is good but should hopefully do the job!!

[quote name='Musky' post='392254' date='Jan 26 2009, 11:03 PM']No, it should be fine as long as it's been stored somewhere dry. Like I said, I've got a Laney DP300 which is older and it hasn't missed a beat since I got it. I loaned it to a mate for a while when he started up a rehearsal studio and it came through unscathed, so reliability wasn't an issue with that particular model. Soundwise the DP300 is naturally clean sounding - certainly not a great amp but not crap either. How the G300 compares I wouldn't know.[/quote] excellent think il bid on that then!! you've all been wonderful cheers!!

[quote name='Musky' post='392226' date='Jan 26 2009, 10:36 PM']If it did come after the DP range (which I think it is) that would make it early nineties.[/quote] ok cool! will this mean that its likely to break soon?? or will sound crap?? btw can i just say that i only joined this site today and its been really useful!! what a great community!!

yea i like the trace but the one i was watching yesterday went well over my budget so im going to assume this is gonna go for similar. so i will probably go for the g300 hartke combo!! does anyone roughly no how old these are?? [quote name='Musky' post='392209' date='Jan 26 2009, 10:16 PM']If it were me I'd be going for the Trace as well. Mind you, as it stands the G300 and hartke combo seems like decent value. I've not tried it (though I have used a DP300 which I think preceded it), but your not really going to know how it sounds until you use it in anger. Having said that I can't really see you losing out if you decide you don't like it (assuming it's in good working order).[/quote]

the thing is i need for a gig in july and im on a budget all these are within (just) so it needs to be powerful enough for a room with roughly 80 people in it and i dont have a clue which is good or not lol thanks

which of these would be best for general practice and small gigs??
