Common sense to tune it as it's played, it's just I noticed the red LED showing as I caught one of the strings as I laid it down.

Should a bass be tuned horizontally or vertically? I tuned a bass normally with the strap over my shoulder and a LED tuner, putting it down so it's on its back, I noticed that the tuner says it's out of tune. It shouldn't matter but I'm curious, it sounds different as well.

As it's new, get it done under guarantee. Anybody you know lost a metronome ?

The Music Room in Lincoln had a good choice last time I looked but maybe not the best prices.

I tried to buy the Cuddly Toy CD single when it was new but the 'record' shop got me another version (Andy's records), there were many then, but I rejected it. Anyway, that turned out to be the one I really wanted, even after all these years I still haven't found that letterbox style, 8 inches by 3 inches, CD single I rejected. I have others of course. I even bought it again recently from Nokia for my phone.

Thanks, I'd like to say I get it but I'm still not 100% sure.

Can someone explain in easy to understand words, what these terms really mean and possibly list some modern examples that I could hear? TIA

Basically you push the wire into a V shaped groove, that cuts through the insulation to make the connection. I moved onto fibre optics, not much soldering there either. To answer the OP, not much cost at all, probably just someones time.

It's when you catch your skin on the hot iron and it smells of roast pork! 20 years with BT here, I've done a bit of soldering. (Not recently).

Interesting, page four of this PDF link lists them. [url="http://www.daddario.com/upload/tension_chart_13934.pdf"]http://www.daddario.com/upload/tension_chart_13934.pdf[/url]

Hey, whad'ya know, whady'a say? In the absence of a certain little miss meeter and greeter.

[quote name='urb' post='538821' date='Jul 12 2009, 09:20 PM']Um, if you live in the UK and you buy from Amazon.co.uk you will be sent a Region 1 DVD to the best of my knowledge... would that be problem for you and your DVD setup?[/quote] Yes, in the UK we use the PAL system and region 2 coding - not compatible. I'm not keen on that DVD so I'll keep looking, thanks.

Mike[/quote] Looks interesting. How do you get to see it with the region coding and needing a NTSC TV?

Here's one for the 'lingo'; Fretsprout or fret sprout; when the sharp edges of the frets extend beyond the fingerboard. The wood shrinks over time due to environmental conditions like heat and humidity, causing the metal fret ends to stick out. The metal frets need to be filed down. There's loads more but I can't remember them now.

I bought the "Uniross 9v Charger + 1 x PP3 / 9v Multi Usage Long Life Battery" from Amazon £8.99. Don't use it - keeps its charge / use it - 1000 recharge cycles.

I was thinking of buying a mobile phone off eBay, how do you tell if they're stolen or genuine?
