I have never played a short scale or semi, but really love the look of them. Would want to try one out first though

I can't afford expensive gear either! I have had a fair bit of stuff since coming on here, but most of that was from an initial outlay and then just moved gear on to fund new gear! I currently use an old Antoria bass, second hand beat up trace cab and a tiny terror head ( again 2nd hand from here) quite often have other bass players saying they like my sound though!

Pretty much as I feared then really!

That LP copy looks quite nice!

Just had a look on Their site, seems like they research

Really??

Looking to buy my first acoustic bass, we did a few songs the other day on local radio, and it seems we quite enjoyed it and would like to explore some more songs. I borrowed a friends vintage one but it struggled with two acoustic 6 strings, a cojon and singer. Looked at the fender high man bass, love that neck but seems they are not much loader than an unplugged electric! Any thoughts would be really helpful.

I was just about to put up a new post on this topic, I then did a search and came across this one. I have really struggled for years with this, will give the video a watch and see if I can try it.

Ridiculous! I am really surprised by the sloppy workmanship,on this bass! Always thought they turned out top notch stuff!

The age thing would be limiting, we advertised for a lead guitarist, and we had a 16 year old lad turn up... He was/is bloody amazing! We gave him the job and he is still with us, a year and a half later!

I must admit I do get a bit brassed off if there rant many people there! I tend to try and turn it round though, the other week I walked out into the room while playing, and did side to side shooting motion, just for a bit of fun, they all cheered and looked more animated so seemed to have a positive effect!

Great stuff! Looks like you had a blast!

A couple of the guys in band I used to be in were quite pally with the singer from Ned's atomic dustbin, who were pretty big in the late 80s

Cheers Chris, had a few last night and it was that bass tone to die for lol! Still sounds pretty good today though

Love the tone, assume it's a fretless ?

When he had the flat over mine he went away for the weekend one time and left a tap running. About ten o'clock on Saturday night the missus says 'Why is there a big bubble on the ceiling?' Next minute it all comes down, water and plaster everywhere. So we cleaned up and put a bucket out then I nipped upstairs and put a note under his door. First thing Monday he comes round, profuse apologies. Workman comes in the same day and by that evening you'd never know there'd been a problem. He even wrote and recorded a short song for us and gave me the lyric sheet which I reproduce below: Brilliant You tell me that the ceiling came down You tell me that the ceiling came down And it did It really did Because you said that it did A cycle trip over the moors A snatched kiss on my crossbar This handsome man stole my clips My bicycle clips Perchance I left the tap on in my flat If I left the tap on in my flat I couldn't help it I really couldn't help it It's what I do It's what I do-oo-oo Meet me at the slaughterhouse gates Oh, meet me at the slaughterhouse gates If you're there before me And you're waiting It's because I'm late I couldn't help it I really couldn't help it It's what I do It's what I do-oo-oo (repeat to fade) (Morrisey / Boorer) [color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote]

Well I have been a big fan from the early smiths days, part of me growing up is in every song! Will always have a soft spot for mozza
