Thank you, so are you saying the money would be better spent on the fixed bridge version?

Well after all the curiosity about Morris and Bass, my mate who isn't on here sidles up and asks to borrow my Micro Cube to play bass on a tour with the local Morris Side.... It must be Spring fever. My next flight of fancy will be how do I discuss it on here if someone gifts me a Rickenbackker.....

In the unlikely event of the above scenario, I would quite like to be able to throw in a few jigs, reels or dances. Because, after all, I play bass to make people dance and sing, and these guys don't seem shy of dancing. So what is a fairly standard, 'standard' for Morris dancing? I could do with one or two up the sleeve that would get me by, please.

Many thanks for the assistance.

Thanks all. I think I'm pretty settled on the Melody of A hard days night and the Bach Cello suite 1. If they come out ok, I may post up the vids.

Anyone got one of these, and if so, whats the good, bad and ugly side of them, please.

I am doing a slot at a mates birthday party. So I want a couple of songs to play solo and show off with. I've got 'A hard days night' by The Beatles sorted and melodied. I just want a couple more show off songs that will stand by themseves on bass alone. Suggestions, please.

Hi Folks, I'm not getting very far in finding a sweet note to play for an Am+7. I'm unsure of what the + actually means in this context?

I'm considering a 5. I really don't know that much about 5's or 6's. Now please correct / assist my assumptions here. Would a high B get me to the top line on the grand staff? Would a high C be a better bet and if so why? How would one go about converting a 5 from low B to a high B, would there be a need to adjust the truss rod? I assume the low B would be removed and the rest of the strings moved over rather than ratchet up the tension. Is there an easy way of getting a single high string, an equation of string sizing perhaps? I like the idea of playing two (or more) bass parts. What haven't I tought of in this cunning plan?
