Hi guys Its been a while since I've posted a topic (bass wise). I was wondering does anyone know anything about setting up a electro/acoustic bass (NOT AN UPRIGHT!). I've tried googling it and acoustic guitar keeps coming up and up right bass keeps coming up. I now how to set up my other basses, but I'm not sure how you would alter string height for example on a eletro/acoustic bass. All I know is the truss is at the end of the neck where you access it to make any neck adjustments. Any help would be great! Thanks Phil

Hi guys As I can just about sight read on a basic level, I've been noticing pieces and exercices that are written in the bass clef, but have this "C" next to the key signature. I'm not sure if it means a piece is using the clave or not because in my Bass Impro book (by Ed friedland) he writes some exercies with this "C" in the notation. Can someone explain or claify this please? Thanks Phil

Hi guys If anybody else has one of these, do you guys find it switches presets sometimes? to something different when your practicing (ie. stu ham solo-Bonehead)? I've found its done it on a number of occasions and wondered if there is a way of stopping it? Thanks Phil

Hi guys I just listening to some symphony X (the early stuff with there ex bassist Tom Miller) and up to now still amazed at the sound tom gets from his gear. I was wondering does anybody know how to get near to that sound? I've heard this growly sound on a meat loaf album aswell (welcome to the neighbourhood). So I get the impression its not just sound for metal/prog rock. Phil

Hi guys I'm wanting to expand my knowledge on harmony as I've heard Gary Willis mention it quite a few times. But I'm unsure of where to start? I know the basics of scale and chord relationship and that Willis has written a book regarding the subject, but I'm unsure of where to start? Melodies? Piano pieces? Gary Willis's book? Some suggestions would be greatly appericated! Thanks Phil

Hi guys This fri I'm planning to play with some friends and I usually get a 4x10 tracer elliot rig to play through but I seem to struggle to find a good eq setting what with two guitarists blasting away. Can anybody suggest a few eq settings? its usually a head with a 12 band eq and we play rock. Thanks Phil

Hi guys I've recently started to expand my rhythm repertoire a lot more and found this brill site, its mainly aimed at drummers who want to brush up on there rudiment techniques but I've found it quite useful. I've just recently learnt what a single paradiddle is and how to play one I'm hoping to try and learn a few more drum rudiments and than have a play around on my bass. Might be quite interesting in terms of fills and runs? Phil [url="http://www.drumrudiments.com/"]http://www.drumrudiments.com/[/url]

Hi guys Just thought I'd try again with my tobias toby pro, gas is really setting in for a warwick fretless and my toby really needs a good home! So I'm selling it for £275. Specs: Bubinga body thru neck EMG 40p5 pups EMG BQC system preamp I'm also throwing in black warwick strap locks and warwick gig bag. I'm a student living in halls and could arrange a time for anyone to try out my tobias and collect it. Any other questions please feel free to pm me!
