Defo not an NT though !

I'm no expert but there seem to be too many screws on the pickguard -not referring to where thumbrest would be, I'm talking about the edges.

this will probably be reiterating something you already know as it's somewhat the gold standard in slap training but you might check tony oppenheim's slap it! i'm not a big fan of slapping myself but this is quite useful and i could even say i like both playing the examples and the way they sound. you can find some samples at [url="http://www.slapit.com/"]http://www.slapit.com/[/url]

Well, after having spent about a year on the forum and bought two of my basses here (one is the ex-Randy Hope Taylor Moon MBC-5, which I later got de-fretted at the Gallery and the other is Valenti #11) I thought I should be a good boy and introduce myself before it's too late. I'm Baran, based half in London and half in a Dutch town that is officially (and unjustifiably) recognised as a city named Tilburg (long story short, I need to be in Holland due to work, my other half's in London, so I go ping-pong between the two). Gear-wise, apart from the two I bought off here I have a heavily modded (before it was mine) '78 Fender Jazz and a 5 string mid-80's Overwater Progress which I'm contemplating putting up for sale sometime soon (just the OW, Fender goes nowhere). Currently I'm playing only at home through a German made Warwick CL 112 combo and planning to get something more decent once I've sorted out my finances -or sold the Overwater. I ditched guitar and took up bass roughly ten years ago and until I moved to Holland in 2007 I gigged in clubs and festivals with some soul/funk and pop bands in my hometown (Ankara/Turkey if anyone wonders) for a couple of years, and am hoping to start playing in a band when I feel ready for that again -feeling a bit rusty after three years. Guess that should do for now. Cheers, Baran
