I hope this sort of thread hasn't been done before, if it has then my bad and can someone point me in the right direction. I'm looking for some songs to take a look at and would appreciate any suggestions, from any genre. Fire Away!

Fender Rumble 100?

Tell us about a lower price...

Anyone know why the box for the video is empty on my computer and i get a small symbol up in the top left hand corner? Sorry to hijack the thread, it happens a lot on basschat to me.

hi mate, welcome. Hope to see more of u on the forums.

Although I have never tried it myself, I can't imagine there would be any damage. The finish on basses is normally waterproof. If the bass wasn't plugged in I can't see the electrics being damaged either. As long as the bass isn't left wet then there shouldn't be a risk of rust or warping. Don't quote me on that though.

[quote name='Johnston' post='868380' date='Jun 15 2010, 08:33 PM']I would actually use the term guitarist for someone with talent and skill in their chosen instrument not just in playing ability but also in general demeanour and attitude towards playing with other musicians . Guitard for someone who can fret w*** think they are brilliant, that everyone else comes second to the fact they are making a twat of themselves in front of everyone. so for me it is not childish it actually has a place in the English language.[/quote] +1

Hi and welcome from a fellow noob. Are u the only bassist in Finland?

I'm thinking of a getting a Fender in the summer and thought since I'll only get about £100 for the old bass is it worth defretting it. Considering I'm not really very experienced in this sort of thing is it a good idea? Suggestions please. It's an Aria IGB-40 btw, bought for £180.

Go for something off ebay might be a good idea. Otherwise have a look at Kustom. I've got one and find it's very good and they cost around £60 i think. I guess other people will have better suggestions though.

Been listening to 'Them Bones' by Alice in Chains -in 7/8. Also, i think Soundgarden use a weird time signature in 'Black Hole Sun'.

So changing the genre etc can be very revealing. I really like the Cake version of [i]I Will Survive[/i]: [/quote] +1

What dyou mean

Thanks for your help-it is much appreciated.

Welcome from a fellow newbie!

I'm guessing you can tune by harmonics. You can use the 12th fret of what is normally the e string and the 12th fret of the d. Play the harmonic on both strings. You will hear fast oscillations. Flatten the e string till the vibrations slow. When you reach the right pitch they should totally stop and you have one continuous hum. To tune back play the harmonics on the fifth of the lowest string and the seventh of the a and tune up till the oscillations stop. Hope that makes sense.

I'm liking it. Gets a thumbs up from me- post some more videos.
