Welcome to the forum! Don't spend too long in the Marketplace or you'll end up pennyless like the rest of us Unfortunately i can't really reccomend anything as far as tutors or DVDs go though,

Took me ages, but the steve vai tour version of Shy Boy i can now play even if it is a Sheehan! On the 4 string The real me by the who makes me sweat and i usually play it a little choppy, and Addicted to that rush by Mr. Big with the extended solos intro. And Had enough by Mr Big, that intro makes me cry it's so hard haha! But my nemesis has to be "The Dance of Eternity" By Dream Theater, i always make mistakes in the solo and end up playing one or two many notes so come in with the ending a fraction late making the entry to the unison section sound horrible as i'm out of time! it's as at least the way i learnt it/soudns right to me and easiest to play there is a 1-3-4 then 3-4 on the next string up (at the dusty end of the neck) which i find very hard at high tempo!

Rich recently did work on another of my basses, turned a cheap lump into a super comfertable ultra playable bass, all at affordable prices! Once again, no hesitation in saying Rich is a top guy who i whole heartedly recommend!

[quote name='gadget' timestamp='1321125367' post='1435694'] For me, the nicest sig bass out ther is Yves Carbonne's 12 string Fretless Jerzy Drozd bass, but I doubt many 'copies' of it have sold, so think it probably doesn't qualify as a 'Signiture' bass? After that, its a close tie between my old 'Pedulla MVP5 Signiture' or the Shuker 'JJ Burnell' P bass? Think the Ped would win, even if it doesn't have a specific persons name attached to it. Its still a Signiture bass! Does Dan's 7 string 'Dood bass' count as a 'Signiture' bass? Cheers G! [/quote] The sub contra is a lovely bass, they play so nicely! I've played Yves one at a clinic-y thing he did was great! And The Doodle is Dan's signature bass so i'd say so

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1320956831' post='1433823'] James Lomenzo's Yamaha is pretty nice - you could move a lot of air with that, I reckon. [/quote] Well they might be avaliable in the next few years as a limited edition Yamaha Attitude avaliable in the UK only. But you didn't hear that from me!

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1320785400' post='1431495'] Yup. I Quite like mine. Didn't buy it for the Sheehan connection, just because it felt good and was (extremely) well made/finished. Still haven't ironed out a good string choice for it (I hate Roto rounds), but am considering flats/tapewounds for it.. [/quote] I love it when you get this piccie out I loved sheehans tone, played one, had the same edge (naturally but i was checking it wasn't his fingers!) and i fell in love with the neck and body shape and the brightness. I love roto rounds BUT i had some roto flats on, and some Elxiers on and they were nice, a lot mellower the Elixers. Attitude + Flats = Tone which sounds and feels like being punched in the gut!

Stew is a great player and a really nice guy!

yourchoiceguitar definately! Adam is a great guy, and can get you any Barts you want!

Do you need to ask my opinion? The Yamaha Attitude is my favourite 4 string bass hands down. I really like signature basses for some reason (even of players who i can't stand or bands i don't like so nothing to do with band love!) What's bad is people who play them just to copy people they idolise, using it in your own way to sound like youre self is fine! The John Myung two signatures are great, the orginal especially. Oh and you know that guy Dan Veall? His Shuker signature is a stunner

What bass is it for?

I broke the C and F strings of a 7 string at the same time but the bridge was the cause as the guy who owned it had modded the bridge. Poorly. Other than that, never not even while tuning. I spoke to a guy who said he breaks B and E strings every 5 or 6 gigs. My first thought how?!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1320516021' post='1427888'] Hey Andy, I see you'll have one soon though right? Yay! [/quote] DOOD. We are still waiting for your demo my friend And will you be reviewing the OTB with your 6 string? If you do i will buy you a cake Been wanting to hear or at least see someone with more than 5 strings use one!

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1320323174' post='1425258'] Is this a common theme - bass players who are ex-trombonists? <Puts hand up too> [/quote] I'm still a trombonist! Like overwater#1 i'm a bass trombonist, doubling on contrabass but i'm also profecicent on Euphonium (played Euphonium for 9 years but i've focused on Bass trombone for the last 3 years and trombone in general for the last 7) and i can get by on Tuba. Takes ALOT of puff, and practise, don't expect to be playing walking sousaphone lines for a few months. I played Sousaphone in a zydeco band for a week when i was in New Orleans and in a jazzy style thing. I practise at least an hour a day to keep up embouchure, lung strength and breathing skills. I've taken that over to bass too, but i tend to just play bass and not practise certain things though. You'd want to be certain if you take the plunge as brass instruments hold much much less value second hand

He also has commented on someone elses channel he will be on britians got talent, sounds likely. Also claims to have just played Mr. Pink by Level 42 very well and says he doesn't practise much! My mum had a go at me half term for racking up around 45 hours of practise in a week... but hey music is everything to me!

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1320447560' post='1427127'] do you have your own moat and drawbridge ? [/quote] No, as not all Castles have moats or drawbridges And it's also my surname Unless this lad (who can't be far from my age) has an unfortunate surname! EDIT: He is my age, 16 both of us born in '95

You can tell from his Username what his attitude is likely to be like

Finacial trouble, then coming to basschat?! Avoid the marketplace like the plague Welcome to the forum bluejay! I'm one of the younger Basschatters but i talk and rant like an old fart already haha! Again welcome and home you enjoy your time here

Are they good peices of wood? I've been thinking of sourcing a sunburst P-body from somewhere to start a project build and this has me intreguied!
