  1. Recently I started playing bass again after a bit of a break, (playing a but more guitar and trying to get into uni) and when I did I started getting pain in the tendony bits of my wrist below the palm. It gets worse the longer I play, so I've had to switch to playing with a pick. Anyone has this? Thanks
  2. So much want Tried one of these out, great feel and the woods look amazing in person. Damn my puny student budget
  3. Hey guys, first post in a while. Whilst browsing the interwebs, I found this deal on thomann, [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_mb_200_bundle.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._200_bundle.htm[/url] It looks like a fantastic price, the general opinion of these amps seems very high, it will be replacing my trusty little marshal combo, and cant realy try one out. How would you guys describe the tone of the amp?
  4. Ive been saving up for a new bass to offer up different tonal variety to my ibanez, Im now pretty sure that I want a jazz bass. I dont realy like the MIM jazz range, I Realy want a maple fretboard, prefferably with blocks. I've looked at the Marcus miller jazz, and the Geddy lee. Both verry nice, but Pehaps too expensive. Theres also the VM squier jazz, very nice looks, but I m sceptical on thje build quality. Oh and I want an active jazz, so I would put a preamp in whichever one I buy Any Idea's?
  5. I think the jazz would be lovely with a black pickguard, although at that price you could get one custom made to your specifications.
  6. I think this is new [url="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/Explorer-Bass.aspx"]http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/Explorer-Bass.aspx[/url] I think it looks rather odd, too much like a tacky conversion of a guitar, and with retail price of $2249 It will be out of most people's reach. Im curios as to how it sounds
  7. You cant hold no groove- Victor Wooten Took me ages to learn but I finally got most of it down
  8. Sadly im too far away from anywhere to have regular tuition. And that book does look good, from what I can see on youtube Jean plays bass's with silly amounts of strings, can the book be learned from with a 4 stringer?
  9. Ive been looking at some two handed tapping vids on YouTube and I really want to get to grips with it. But I don't really know where to start. Are there any good books out there?
  10. Thanks for the advise guys. im not looking to get the guys exact tone, ive just always liked active jazz tones, Marcus miller and such i think im cleared up on what electronics i should be looking at, but what about the actual bass? i love the look of the vintage modified squiers, or should i look for a good mexican jazz?
  11. im looking for a new bass and i have a budget of around £700 i love the sound of this bass: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTk71CjdbkE&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTk71CjdbkE&feature=related[/url] But i cant afford the 2000+ price tag ive considered doing a bitsa with high quality parts but i have no experience or skill in building guitars. Any suggestions?
  12. My guitarist brother built himself a 2x12 guitar cab. it looks quite nice, the shape inside is just a box with the speakers atached to the front. Now that he has no use for it i want to turn it into a bass cab by putting some speakers in. is there any obvious problems with this? Also where can i get hold of some good quality speakers for a reasonable price? On ebay there's some emminense ones but theyre way to pricey. i could buy a second hand cab for the same price Cheers Mike
  13. That looks like a long scale guitar to me
  14. http://www.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/408903/jackson-dinky-2-six-string-bass-guitar is it me or has this got slightly thin strings and string spacing to be a bass?
