  1. Hey guys Does anyone know a electric bass tutor in/round Luton Posted in "Tutors Available" but not had much like [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/230462-bass-lessons-in-luton/"][size=2]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/230462-bass-lessons-in-luton/[/size][/url]
  2. Hey guys thanks for the replies i will try in general. Never thought of looking at online lessons are they as good as face to face ones?
  3. Ah ok that probable explains it, but i still think it looks better with the W
  4. Thank you dude i will check them out
  5. Hey guys Bought a second hand Warwick RB Corvette off fleabay but its missing the Warwick W Anyone know where i can get one to stick on ? [url="http://postimg.org/image/8odq6s5nd/"][/url]
  6. Hey guys Anyone know of a teacher in Luton? I know there is Greenbank music village but i know people that go there so would rather not go I have asked the local music shop and they said they don't know of any
  7. I did what he asked but it didn't seem to make the slightest difference To me it looks like there is enough clearance and takes me bending the string below the fretboard height to touch the pickups with the string
  8. Little update, the guy i bought the bass off said he would fix the issue for free which is good of him ... But he asked me to try something necause he things he might know what the problem is. He asked me to put a paperclip accross the humbucker poles under the B string. Can anyone explain what might be achived by this?
  9. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1340583965' post='1706703'] What's the clearance over the pick up? Is the B string actually hitting the Pickup pole when yo're playing it? [/quote] Not that i can see when i was playing, but i will measure the clearance tonight [quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1340610265' post='1706797'] It may be something totally unconnected but I noticed in the sellers 'buying history' that he bought a six string bass bridge just before you bought this. Perhaps the two things are connected [/quote] just checked it out and that's not the bridge that is on the bass [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1340613917' post='1706842'] What amp are you using? It could be that the speaker can't handle the low notes from the B, i've had the same issue. Liam [/quote] i thought that but i tried my 5 and my mates 5's and they all seemed fine. the only difference is that this is an active bass where the others are passive. My amp is Hartke HA3500 + Behringer 4x10
  10. [quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1340555144' post='1706122'] Ebay are pretty good, how long have you had it? [/quote] The bass arrived on Wednesday [quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1340557292' post='1706173'] thats a lot of B rattle. If all the other strings action is ok then can you do the following: 1) Check the B string isn't sitting on its reduced windings in the nut - most B's will have uniform thickness for 35" then taper down in 1 or 2 stages to the windings. 2) Can you raise the saddle for the B to give more clearance? 3) Measure the action at the 15th fret and compare to the E - whats the action? 2 or 3mm? [/quote] 1) Not that I can see, the reduced windings are covered by red thread 2) I wouldn’t even know where to start 3) I’m a noob but to me it looks like B 3mm and the E string is very slightly higher E 3.1mm
  11. i bought it second hand on ebay [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150832336662?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150832336662?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649[/url] but the guy has been great so far and has been in constand contact
  12. Hey Guys, I’ve been out of the bass scene for a number of years (close to 8 years) and wanted to get back into it, so I bought myself a new toy as a mark of new beginnings But sadly when I plugged the bass into my amp there was an instant problem when playing the B string. The string sounds distorted and as if it is shorting when you play it. I’ve uploaded a very crap quick sound clip to [url="http://soundcloud.com/alessandroa"]http://soundcloud.com/alessandroa[/url] The bass is an active 6 string, I’ve changed the battery, changed the cable and borrowed my mates two 5 strings to test on my amp but all seems fine with them. I would appreciate any help Thanks Alex
