  1. 2 words... steve harris iron maiden was about the first band I really took to when I was a kid The bass was so prominant and sounded soooo good Got my first bass (an Axe bass from an ad in Kerrang) a week later
  2. Hthebass he isn't mailing you... your account email settings are set up to send you an email whenever a post is added to a thread you have subscribed to, change them if this is not what you want. and bump for a bonny bonny bass Johnny
  3. Had the same sort of thing happening, bandmates not available due to real life intruding, to get round this I'm in 2 bands and doing open mic stuff so I've always got something to do.
  4. As most everyone above I'd suggest you go round the shops and try everything you can get your hands on. Draw up a shortlist of what works best for you then sit in the for sale section in here until what you are looking for comes up. Have bought most all my gear from basschatters and have found them to be a most excellent group of people to deal with, maybe not as cheap as going through ebay et al, but in my humble opinion much less risky to deal with.
  5. Bought a cab from Sean Sean the leprechaun Gear exactly as advertised and he was kind enough to drive part way to meet me. Great guy to deal with.

    Cover

    Hi there... attached is a track from the demo that one of the bands I'm in is recording. It's a cover of Tom Petty's "Good To Be King" Would welcome any comments/criticism, particularly concerning the bassline. Thanks in advance, Frog
  11. If only it had a different neck/spacing/colour/wood/number of strings/country of manufacture *delete as appropriate I'd have this in a second
  12. Bought a tascam recorder from Mike... Goods arrived early and were as advertised. Lots of communication about when money had been received and goods were being dispatched Another smooth trouble free transaction... this forum is spoiling me
  13. I'm not massively experienced so when i've done auditions (a grand total of 2 ) and the band pull out some originals that i've never heard then it can be kind of daunting, so first run through I just kind of listen and get a feel for the song, locking the timing with the drummer and concentrate on hitting the root notes. Second run through i listen for where there are holes in what the guitarists are doing... spaces for a wee fill without clanking all over the other parts. Has worked so far... And as the Wise Old Git says... you are auditioning them too. So relax and enjoy it, the worst that can happen is you won't get the place... this will not prevent the sun from rising in the morning and will not cause the earth to spin off its axis.
  14. pity they aren't running one of those "if you find it cheaper we'll give you double the difference" schemes... and that i had the £10 million quid obviously... then sell it here at a healthy BC discount... say £5 million... half price for an as new bass... can't say fairer than that
  15. Hmmmm... easy to change it to any damn scale you like... just take some bits out and adjust the frets
