    Squier VM fretless now gone. If anyone is willing to risk the acoustic being sent via courier I will package it as best I can.

    Hi, Severe GAS has hit me, something I thought I was past, lol!. There is a bass on this forum which I have my eye on but in order to get it I need to shift this lot. Straight sale only I'm afraid, I need the cash for the other bass. All 3 are advertised elsewhere at a higher price. First is a very good condition ESP B-206 ltd. I bought this as an introduction to 6 string bass and I didn't think I'd sell it but that's GAS for you. It bats well above it weight in terms of its sound and it certainly doesn't sound like a budget bass. Very good low B. Not too much different from my Lakland 55-01. It comes with a fitted ESP hardcase. I'll include a set of Rotosound RS666LD strings with it. SOLD. Second is a Squier VM fretless jazz. I have replaced the bridge with a higher mass one and will include the original. It's been set up by our own talented 7-string and is sporting DR flatwounds. It's in mint condition and will come with a hardcase for posting. SOLD. Last is a mint condition Crafter BA-400N/EQ acoustic. Comes in a well padded acoustic bass gig bag. I'm reluctant to send this via courier due to fear of damage. I will however meet anyone within a reasonable distance of Glasgow. That applies to all the basses. SOLD Thanks for looking, Eddie.

    If there's going to be a protracted enquiry into the circumstanes of this sudden death contact the DS in charge of the investigation and explain your circumstances to him. Sounds that your gear will have been stored in a different room and providing its not connected with the investigation you should, more than likely, be able to get it. If it's a murder enquiry you ain't getting near it!!!

    His myspace page shows him to be a guitarist in all his previous bands, NMA describe him as multi-instrumentalist. Good luck to him.

    Does the chorus come with the box and instructions, and is the price inclusive of postage?

    [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1333367145' post='1600559'] Cheers. The daughter says Blargggg . she thought playing the bass was going to count as schoolwork without a test Edit another daft question. Does this mean the books in my local store are out of date? [/quote] The present books are valid until the end of I believe period B in 2013. The new ones are out May 1st so probably best to wait til then and they'll be valid for years. You can also apply online now.

    You could contact the Licensing department of the local council and report your experiences to them. Landlords tend to take notice of those who can close them down. It would be advisable to contact the Licensing Sergeant from the local plod to. He'll be well aware of the reputation of the venue and can use your report to help keep the landlord in line. Regular patrons will take notice of the landlord.

    [quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1330263077' post='1554765'] Do you know how to count subdivisions? If you are counting on the beat-1,2,3,4...you can then break it down to quavers(8th notes) by counting 1&,2&,3&,4&. If you are tapping your foot to the beat,it should hit the floor on the beat and be in the air on the & (the off beat) You can then take that further by breaking it down into semiquavers(16th notes) by counting 1e&a,2e&a,3e&a,4e&a. If you are using a metronome,set it at a steady tempo (something like 60-70 bpm) and try playing on the beat while counting out loud and then start to break it down to quavers then semiquavers. Make sure you are saying the subdivisions while you are playing and try to be as accurate as possible. Once you can do this comfortably,it makes it easier to play different combinations of quavers and semiquavers...for example,if the pattern is something like quaver,semiquaver,semiquaver, (disco style) you can count it as 1(e)&a,2(e)&a etc. and not play on the (e). [/quote] This is how I've been taught. It's not easy at first and can seem daunting when like me you have no knowledge of theory, but stick with it and it will pay off. The metronome is your friend for this.

    If this could be posted I'd be very interested.

    It's retailing at $499 on Aguilar's website which equates to about £325.

    To the OP. Go for it and give it all you've got. You'll regret for the rest of your life if you don't. You'll learn transfereable skills which you can apply to other aspects of learning or utilise on the job market. My wife's degree is in History but she is a fully qualified Chartered Management Accountant. She utilises skills she learned at Uni and says she does not regret studying History and wouldn't change it if she could. One of my workmates has a music degree and is a former session musician. He didn't make loads of cash but had a ball trying! He took the decision to change career simply because he wanted a change. Another workmate played drums for The Exploited. He's not a millionaire but describes it as the best time of his life, and he did make cash from it.

    [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1323890535' post='1468449'] That would be hell. I wanted a job that got me out and about, giving me something different every day and a chance to use my loaf. Add to that good prospects for promotion and sideways transfers, so if I get bored of doing one thing I can go and do another. No, I wouldn't be signing up to look at a computer screen for thirty years unless they paid me a great sum! [/quote] Police Officer I assume? 35 years is the standard for new recruits now. What's your service bracket if I'm correct? Which Force?

    Having seen Jennifer play her 6er I can categorically state she has no problems playing it. I however, have bigger hands than her and can't play mine to save myself!!!
  25. edster
    I've got 6. All different. (at least that's what's I tell the wife to justify having them!). A 6er, 5er, fretless 4 jazz, fretted 4 jazz, PJ Ibanez and an electro-acoustic.
