I found the tighter the string spacing better when I started on a 5er. It allows you to get used to stretching across a wider neck easier. Also forces you to have a more accurate fretting hand. The biggest thing to overcome on 5ers is the overall feel. The strings feel a lot looser and you will feel cramped to start off. As for which bass. I found the squires sounded woolly, crappy electronics. But if you used to Jazz basses, it will be less alien. The spector on the other hand is brilliant, superb build quality and good sound.

Kim Deal is queen of writing simple basslines. Where is my mind? - The Pixies Cannonball - The Breeders also Muscle Museum - Muse Theyre what I started on.

This is a good point, but personally I don't think a post minimum is beneficial. I joined this forum to buy my dream bass and having acquired it, stuck around. Everyone has to start somewhere and I think the buy/sell section is a great because you can start with a focus. Admittedly using this place once to sell an item is abusing it a bit, but it's the perfect way of dodging evilBay and finding your target market. I love how active the market is on this forum, it gives me a chance to pretend I could afford some of these beautiful basses. I know I don't post much, but I'm on here everyday reading what all these wonderful people have to say and occasionally feel a need to throw in my two cents (like now). I think a post minimum would deter new users, I know it would have deterred me. Plus, it'll will more work for our amazing moderators (suck up) to filter out all the spam posts. So new users come and go, but at least people are coming and going and surely that's the sign of a healthy forum. I'd hate for this to become a clique instead of a community.

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1329238635' post='1539392'] Added a AAF track that has some bass harmonics on. Just learnt it myself struggling with the birdge however. [/quote] Is that Flesh and Bone? Massive bass line.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1328747375' post='1532247'] I dunno, but great pic! [/quote] Yeh it is!

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1328651605' post='1530810'] Nice... but I hope they don't live next to the radiator all the time or it will be warp factor 5. [/quote] It doesnt work.

....But this is what I wake up next to after a wild night out. Goddesses. [attachment=99445:2012 - 1.jpg]

[quote name='Kes' timestamp='1328493660' post='1528126'] I've always hated 'hey Jude' [/quote] Yeh that song is brainless. Cant think of anything decent to sing or play? Just yell Na Na Na NAAAAAAA The band I used to play in did Murder on the Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis Bextor. If that song doesnt define purified evil , i dont know what does.

Top Bloke. Just bought a bass off Nick, love it.

Some dick at a house party broke the volume knob off my acoustic bass. Its a half crescent pot set back into the body. Ill try get a pic up later, but does anyone know where i might get one or something that will do the job?

flatchat.co.uk For the man-out-of-tune or anyone feeling a little deflated.

Shouldnt be too hard. Just take your time positioning it perfectly for the scale length and alignment.

I'm in. Have to be Cardiff for me at the moment, but if I get a new ve-hic-le in the nest few weeks then I'm game either way.

Sunday it is then!!!!!!!

Anyone know what day Andrew Levy is in the house yet?

Gotta Countryman 5 string to noodle on a few months back to go with my rocking chair. Need a piece of straw, if anyone has got one spare. Also struggling to find a new bridge for it in this backwards hick town of Cardiff.
