Naive question here. So my understanding is modes and the chords, scales and notes within them are a proven way of understanding music theory. Any of you guys use modes as your bible for playing bass? I do get that there are lots of other aspects to understanding and playing music but as a rule if I focus my theory knowledge on modes am I on the right path.

Pleased to say that I've had a refund from Stringbusters

Update - managed to get through on the 01271 number after a few attempts this morning. Offered me strings from a six string set although there would be no packaging. I've declined the offer and asked for a refund. I'll let you know the outcome

Thanks Ped

Tried this number and previous number numerous times. FB page hasn't been active for sometime either. Nobody else brought from them recently??

Thanks Ped. I don't want to bad mouth any organisation that may be having some short term issues, i think this is something different. Contact details on the website today is: Phone : 01271 344581 Email [email protected]

Most negative comments start in May 2017

I think so Ped, would it be admin that get the massage out to all? The number on the website changed yesterday but still nobody answering.

Yes it's all in the reviews above. I've used Strinbusters on a number of occasions with no issues. Unfortunately for me I didn't check any recent reviews. I have to wait a total of 15 days before my bank contacts them on my behalf. Unfortunately I'm not holding my breath as they don't seem to be responding to anyone.

Ordered a set of DR fatbeams 8 days ago. initial correspondence to acknowledge the order and nothing since. Have called lots and also emailed with no response. Read the feedback above for similar experiences in recent months. The website is still running and taking people's money. I would certainly avoid.

Anyone have any up-to-date info on Stringbusters? Think I may have been a plank in spending £40 with them without checking out recent reviews.

[quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1461854121' post='3038238'] Building a new big pedalboard, strictly for fun and experiments at home (too heavy for me to carry around, and with effects I wouldn't really use for blues and classic rock ) The board has a PT Pro footprint, and fully loaded it is stupidly heavy, but as I don't intend to carry it outside the house I can live with it. Still missing cables which I have to solder over the coming days, something I don't look forward to. [/quote]A thing of beauty!

Going to stick with the filter first Si, just questioning the science. I've got a octaver on the way too, After the compressor I think?

I thought the Compressor comes first after tuner but I've recently seen the filter first. What's your advice? I like the filter first

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1464022115' post='3055831'] These. [/quote] Think I've got one of these somewhere I've used previously for acoustic. Gonna have a route. Will obviously be flimsy but will give me an idea, ta.

Very good indeed!

What sort of thumb pick?

I recently brought this little collection. The horn one is my fave
