    Buy yourself a Wudtone UTFL and a HB Deko to practise on...so satisfying being able to sort out fret problems yourself and it's as close to foolproof as its possible to get.

    Good condition overall - the handle is a bit worn but solid. Fully working and had valves about 6 months ago. Sounds ACE! Collection from Malvern preferred but could meet up for petrol money.

    Hi dude, postage a possibility?

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1459955940' post='3021252'] I have never met anybody who could not hear their out-of-tuneness and sort it out straight away with or without tuners, as long as they can actually hear themselves. Seriously, who ever gets to the stage they perform in public and they're unable to tune? I think that's a myth. [/quote] Wow. We clearly don't live in the same town, see the same bands or move in the same circles...most local bands don't seem to cope with the entire concept of tuning, let alone agree to stick to the same one!

    Hi all, I've put a 'Bassist Available' ad on Join My Band and am contemplating paying for Bandmix - is it it any good? Any other places I should be advertising? Looking for Pop/Rock covers so nothing genre-specific I suppose. Thanks!

    [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1459925369' post='3020813'] Not spending loads of money and discovering you prefer the gear you already have is never a bad thing... I'd regard your trip as a triumph. [/quote] Get out.

    [quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1459931118' post='3020860'] I assume it's about tuners having different accuracies - opting for strobe types for accuracy etc. [/quote] Even so, I'd suggest that the majority of electronic tuners would agree about what was 'in tune' with each other better than human beings without perfect pitch (i.e. most of us mere mortals). For giggles (I'm an insomniac at the moment) I tried four tuners together last night, two clip-ons, a Polytune from the jack socket and a Boss using a built in mic. They all roughly 'agreed' (i.e showed as 'in tune') but the two polytunes disagreed about whether it was 100% or not (still showed green but the headstock tuner showed being slightly sharp).

    [quote name='bassbiscuits' timestamp='1459865334' post='3020359'] why was the visit depressing btw? [/quote] Ah, maybe it was my mood but NOTHING I played felt 'right'. I guess I've put in a lot of hours on my OLP so it feels like home but even playing some silly expensive models was frustrating and left me feeling very flat and dejected. I'll try again, have no fear

    Do you know if the wilko Tuners can be reversed so I could use them in 3+1?

    [quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1459775190' post='3019440'] Six months on upright and they all feel small. [/quote] You could go hug a tree and itd still feel like a Geddy Lee Jazz after playing some uprights! Cap well and truly doffed.

    Sadly this was my experience the one time I tried them...I love them on acoustic guitar but on bass my limited experience has been negative.

    Hi all, Post a depressing visit to Bass Direct, I was spending the 1hr 30 in the car on the way back wondering...if you could ONLY have a bass that played like heaven OR sounded like it, which would you choose? I think it's playability for me, I mean, even the worst of basses sounds roughly like a bass, right? As long as it plays well, I could see me coping with it but so many basses that I tried today sounded INCREDIBLE but played in a way I disliked. It's all personal preference, so I don't expect us to be able to define what's good tone and bad tone and/or what defines 'plays well' (the forum would implode if we all agreed) but I'm curious to know. Cheers, James

    Thanks folks - Zoom ordered, daft not to at £40!

    Rich - does that allow you to send the PC/iPod audio through it so you don't have to wear two sets of headphones (I know, I know...) Cheers!

    Hi all, Returning back to the fold after a while on the dark side (drums!) I'm now wanting to get back into bass and need to sort myself a practise 'setup'. Requirements: 100% of it will be with headphones, playing along to audio from the PC (MP3 files and/or Spotify). I have a nice(ish) set of headphones, so I'm thinking just get some kind of interface or pedal. Any ideas? I know it's a bit vague but I'm a bit out of the loop so wanted to keep my options wide open! Cheers! James

    Drop me a PM if interested and we could sort something. Very reliable and the ext cab out is there too (speakon). Cheers!

    Hi mate Deffo not an issue at some point - I'm forever coming down that way! Thursday of next week? Cheers!

    Hi mate Back Friday / Sat / Sunday (morning only) if any good? Thanks!

    If it helps, I knew that when I had a bass delivered and it was packed INSANELY well - took me best part of 15 mins to actually get to it. I think it's good that they are clear about the process - it's not their fault that couriers won't insure the package, so if you want to take the risk at least you are informed.

    Hi all, For sale due to imminent house move! Lovely bass, I've slightly rubbed down the back of the neck to smooth it out (not actually removed the lacquer, just smoothed it) and given it a setup and it plays GREAT. Doesn't seem to suffer from the distortion that some of these do but I have a replacement pot if you wanted to do the 'mod' outlined on the EB forums. I bought the pot before I bought the bass and decided not to bother as it sounds ace without! Comes with scrappy Thomann hard case. £165? BARGAIN. COLLECTION ONLY as I'm not home enough to arrange a courier I'm afraid. I'm based in Herefordshire, close to both the Worcestershire and Gloucestershire borders (Ledbury) so pop over and grab it quick! Cheers, James [attachment=195154:IMG_0477.JPG] [attachment=195155:IMG_0479.JPG] [attachment=195156:IMG_0476.JPG]

    Hi all, For sale due to imminent house move! £200 - sounds amazing and super light. The only issue is the red power led doesn't work but that's been like it since I had it and never bothered me. Few scuffs and scrapes from loading in and out so it wouldn't pass for new but the sound is what matters and the sound is GOOD Collection from Herefordshire/Gloucestershire/Worcestershire and it's already priced to sell so cheeky offers won't fly I'm afraid ;-) Cheers!

    Consider yourself lucky. I put on a fresh set of strings...got to the gig, plugged in and tuned up, played a couple of daft little riffs to warm up...picked the bass back up to start the set and the strings were dead. And I don't just mean slightly. TOTALLY dead. There's something most odd with my body chemistry.

    What do you possibly have to gain for all this bother?
