blind pilot

I seem to struggle with speed in my fretting hand, so what I am doing at the moment is playing along to Rush - YYZ , seems to be working!

Oooo how exciting, sansamp in the lead for now!

just to kill the last 7 min's at work - copy and paste the following (adding ones that you have and are ommited) and if you own one - bump up the number - lets see what the Bass players most loved pedal is.......... As its my thread, ill kick it off...... Sansamp Bddi - 1 Boxx chorus ensemble - 1 Way huge swollen pickle - 1 Digitech Whammy - 1 Guyatone MD-3 delay - 1

[attachment=63040:new_bass.jpg] Just delivered this morning - my T-bird. Shes a heavy Girl, but got some nice tone's I'm happy, takes my collection to 5!

Did a swap for his Thunderbird for my amp. Sent loads of pics, VERY accurate description of the bass,great communication, well packed and shipped fast - all round good guy!

I was mesmerised watching Simon Gallup of The Cure, and I loved the sound, his tone I thought at the time was excellent, and I wanted to do it to! Went to Monkey business down in Romford, picked up the cheapest bass and got on with it- that was 20 odd years ago! stopped after a few years, then Start of last year fell into a Band by chance, and have been on the steepest learning curve ever! But I love it!

I have spotted a floor in your plan....................NO space for any new basses! otherwise, its top drawer!

Desperate I was to spec up my own Warmouth parts bass and drop many $$$ that I didn't have on a bass that probably wouldn't have worked properly had I done it. After speccing up 2 or 3 different possibilities I quashed this episode of GAS by upgrading my home studio's software from Sonar 7PE to Sonar 8.5PE (at a fraction of the cost) so that it might now run on W7x64. But the GAS is back and today my mouse is hovering over the 'Add to Basket' button on a MIM Fender Deluxe Precision Special...........now I know I should go to the shops and sit and play the actual guitar I plan to buy but the urge is strong.. Oh and a Hartke head and 4.5XP cab is pulling my credit card out of my wallet this week too... AAAAARGHH!! Give me a painless cure!![/quote] I feel your pain! Have been gas'in over a Wal, lots of pedals etc. So far this month I have bought/swapped a Ha3500 head, swollen pickle pedal,chorus ensemble pedal, Sansamp Bddi pedal,Blagged a Whammy on long term, bought a cheapie p bass, and just done a deal to get a T-bird! The only remedy I can think of is getting 6 numbers on a saturday night! Whats even worse is everytime I play, I think yeah I am happy with my bass/rig/tone/set-up, so why do I still WANT all this stuff!

I cannot read a single note, I too am self taught, and there are somethings the i struggle with, but I just push on and get there in the end. As far as learning new stuff (covers) i normally print of the Tab, and spend some time on you tube watching other people play it! Has worked for me, and in my situation, being able to read music offers no benefit at all!
