Hello From sunny (not) Scotland!

[Cameronj279]

No idea what to type in here but i'm new to forums in general (except a few like head-fi etc) but i've been playing bass for 6 months, one month of which was unfortunatly spent in hospital following an operation.

i play pretty much every kind of music from band's like korn, mudvayne (very hard to play) to primus, megadeth, cage the elephant, soundgarden and even attempted to learn mr pink (as a joke to see if i could).

i play a 5 string ibanez K5 OL (Fieldy Signature bass), i have a small cheap practice amp but i live in a flat so even though it's 20watt's it's more than enough. looking into investing in a multi-effects pedal so i can learn song's that need envelope filters etc (i hate being limited)

anyhoo, Just saying hi to everybody cause i'm new to the forum

hope everybody enjoyed their Christmas!

Greetings Cameron,
Welcome to the Basschat, I have been having lessons for about 4 months now, I am also looking for a suitable multi effects Pedal, think its going to be the Zoom B2 1 U, as its got everything I need like Usb, Drums, MP3 input to play along etc.
Have a look at it.
What made you start with a Five string ?

i've had a look at pretty much every multi-effects and decided i'm going for a boss GT-10B (if i can find it for a decent-ish price) the B2 1 U seem's good but it doesn't look like enough....plus i've heard amazing things about the GT-10B.

I started with a 4 string but shortly after I realised I needed a 5 string to play a lot of music I wanted to.....and i'm a pretty big korn fan so i really wanted to play their songs. my honest opinion, i prefer 5 string bass's because the string spacing is closer, it's a bit annoying for certain slap riffs but over-all i find it so much easier to play than 4 strings
