  1. I can't see why you'd leave the rough location off the advert on a collection only item or one likely to receive requests for viewings, just extra messages to reply to.
  2. I'll have a listen to that on the pc tomorrow, thanks.
  3. The only thing to be aware of is that if you go to a normal DB you are unlikely to have strength in your pinky to 'stop' a note unless it had very low tension strings, it's easy to damage your hands on the DB.
  4. You full of the joys of Christmas lefty? lol
  5. Tu español parace bien, yo entiendo todo. Solo visitamos cada año un vez o dos, principalmente costa calida, me gusta españa y estudiar la lengua para dos o tres años, ¡mi español es fatal tambien!
  6. I would try and look at the left hand technique stuff and adopt the standard fingering method as early as possible, I now play elec bass with the DB finger spacing at times but that's easier than playing DB a 'finger per fret'. Geoff is a top fella both on here and in person.
  7. I know Bernie Goodfellow made a GB bass from various scraps of wood as a test bed for things and trying electronics out in etc, it was so good Mika's bass player had it painted and took it on tour on the proviso that Bernie had it back to destroy after so it never got refinished and ruined his reputation in years to come!
  8. Have you started on Geoff's discoverdoublebass youtube lessons yet?
  9. I didn't like the one I didn't buy but I'd have a a fair few thousand pounds in the bank off it now.
  10. It's never a simple as x is good y is bad is it? The RCF 15"s are excellent, there's no slowness in the 735 or 745 but they are £1000 each, plus you don't a sub so no matter how good or cheap the alto sub is it's an extra cost and storage/haulage. ¿puedes hablar español Tubster, donde en el Sur tú tocas con tu groupo?
  11. Then it wouldn't be a "Full Range" speaker anyway would it?
  12. I was offered a 50s P bass for £500 not that long ago, around 2001 maybe, it was very Mojo'd and I passed it off as fake but with hindsight and further knowledge of the seller I think I missed a trick there
  13. A good full range pa cab should be able to reproduce everything the bass combo can and more, whether the Alto or similarly priced cabs are that good I don't know.
  14. I bought a fairly expensive one from Thomann, it came with some stitching that had come undone but it fitted my fairly deep bodied bass so I had a few quid off it and kept it, since then the handles have come open. On the plus side it's very well padded and fits my bass well. You really need to check the sizes before buying, not exactly like a P bass or Strat case.
  15. I've got to that age where I have to check ten times that I've actually put a bass in the van before setting off to each gig!
