Yes that is a tall order.. the tallest bit is a £300 bass with an unlined board... an unlined board is really in the midst of higher end basses... you could get a second hand Squire and get a new neck... why do you want it unlined can i ask..

Ahh just caught on...

The comments say his real name is Hyunmo Kim and it looks his band is called Oriental Express.[/quote] i take it back...i really liked that! who is the band?

[quote name='blackmn90' post='1048464' date='Dec 5 2010, 05:39 PM']great sound, crap quality. My mate ended up replacing his tuning pegs with 50p coins as the origionals all snapped off[/quote] i very much doubt there all crap.. just one bass that you played maybe?

i really like that!! yeah please discuss

Nathan East gets the good stuff... Will Lee too..oh Sanborne..i love his music!!!

Yeah i really really liked that.not really slap though..he was using his thumb, but not slapping...but the pop was cool..he may have eq'd a litttle to let the pop ring out a LITTLE bit more.. but i loved the whole thing.. you wanna hear subtle slap.. great slap pop thats soo musical..

It's showboating yep thats why there there..its not supposed to be overwhelming music..

sorry but you dont need lighter strings a or a tweeter... and its nothing to do with you technique.. please.. a few questions bro does the bass have any treble response at all. what amp are you using how old is the bass is the bass passive/active...im guessing its passive knowing westfields.. is it a jazz ive come across a couple of basses with lack of treble responce and its been because of the pickups being old and maybe getting dirt etsin them... it happens......im not saying this is your bass Paul but it may be... IF this is the case and the bass IS passive the pups are not expensive to get a fairly good set...

Wonderful....

when you say musical it doesnt mean VW isnt....he obviously is...but in a different way... on a side note i love this.. in its own right with his chordal stuff.. the master at work.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHdN_O5k3WM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHdN_O5k3WM[/url]

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='1043115' date='Nov 30 2010, 11:05 PM']I've always wanted to get the double thumbing technique down. I've tried some of the youtube tutorials but I just can't seem to get it. As for other techniques, I just watch one of Andy Saxton's videos and wonder where to start haha[/quote]i like the technique..im sure there are many other variations that call for more... but for this is there anything here you couldnt pop? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnngPvedXEM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnngPvedXEM[/url] on reflection i guess its more convenient to up stroke with you thumb than hike the finger over for a popper!! marlow is sooo smooth...

For me sometimes techniques can get a little out of hand...of course this down to the player...i want the hear music not an ego... if the double thumbing is done musically (not often) i love it... straight up slap and pop done right is killer.. in the nicest possible way i think most guys who double thumb or try and add to many sub divisions into there bass lines are a little over the top... but this is from a perspective of a song...not a solo...

[quote name='BobTheBassist' post='1042961' date='Nov 30 2010, 09:05 PM']I play both (though more bass, I just find it easier to write songs on guitar). I'd say the difference is you can get to the point where you can play bass in a group before you reach that point on guitar. That's just cos the bass can anchor the harmony and rythm by just bangout root notes on the beat. It's boring but it works. To be good at either is just as tough. Not that I'm claiming to be a good guitarist you understand I just know a few chord paterns and use a capo. I also found picking up the guitar reletivly easy, but I've always just put that down to playing bass for 8 years first![/quote]In my humble opinion this is a also true... a root note is easier to find than the whole chord of course... but when someone gets past that stage is when the bass tends to catch up...single notes, travelling around the chord and chord changes are just as important...but more so because your holding down the rythm section too...

[quote name='gafbass02' post='1042965' date='Nov 30 2010, 09:08 PM']I always say its easier to learn, but harder to play well[/quote]+ 10000 that is very true..

im sure there are techniques you are using now without you thinking about them...Especially with alot of those SD tunes Pete... You use (IMHO) what you feel you need to or more importantly what suites your style... fingerstyle is what i use but in the context of a song/ if you feel it need a little bit more aggression , throw a little slap in there... harmonics are cool.. hammer on, pull off's, vibrato, stacato..there all techniques you prob use day to day... suck eggs an all that..

good call Pete...WOW..that was mesmerising.... anyone notice Stanley on DB?????? ive always found Vic to be a bit more technical than M. but i prefer MM playing..... but who cares...what a fantastic couple of bassists.. even being a jazz bass nut.....ive got to say i prefer Vic's tone..but i love that lower mid bass tone... i would kill someone to see that live.. i love the ole question answer thang.......im going to give this a few watches..

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1042873' date='Nov 30 2010, 08:16 PM']+1[/quote]Yeah but its harder to understand...or put those chords together... well it takes a bit of time...the point was not really the knowledge... bass/guitar are hard in equal measures..i cant get my head around putting chords together on the guitar......lack of trying maybe.. but choosing notes for a chord or chordal progression i can do.. depends on your musical personality maybe?
