Although I haven't bought it from matt, he was a great help in sorting me out with some info on a book I needed from the States - many thanks for the help Matt. Top BCer

I have a prob at the minute where everytime i want to make a new 'saved search' it wont let me, tells me that i have exceeded the maximum number of saved searches. So I deleted a load, and now only have a few but it still wont let me save a new one. Ebay gets on my t*ts sometimes

cool! Always wanted a 'Tena for men' bass! aw, no wait..... he'll think im taking the p*ss.....

Im thinking that lighter guage strings might help, but as I like to use flatwounds Im not sure how light they go tbh

Similair to KevinLindsay there ^^ I have visited the Gp recently who took some bloods to look for 'inflammatory markers' but that didnt turn up any results.

Im not getting any younger, but just lately I can tell if Ive played my bass the previous day as I get pain in my right (plucking) wrist a couple of inches up from the 'crease' and my fretting hand just hurts all over. Its really started worrying me of late, it started in November and I thought id just overdone it a bit, but it hasnt gone away like i hoped it would. Ive tried varying my strap height but that doesnt seem to have made any difference. Any tips on how to deal with this? cheers

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1387465798' post='2312311'] a music shop in Cov with a 6 string bass??? Which one was that? [/quote] Knew someone would ask that, cant remember for the life of me what its called, its on the Binley Road near 'Uxbpidgl Avenue' as the graffiti kids have renamed it

Went into a music shop in Cov years ago for a set of strings and walked out with a six string bass. I don't actualy remember if I got the strings I needed

useful for if should ever find oneself up sh*t creek

Bought a fretless neck off the Boy, To echo what has been said above, packaged well and good comms throughout, nice one mate

Like OMG that is like soooooooo last century dooood ^^

Cant see a problem meslef, my current fretless has them, but that's because its a converted scaffolding plank, I try to play with my eyes closed anyways to practice my intonation so it doesn't make a shred of difference. having spent a bit of time with a tuner ive realised that the lines mostly don't correspond to correct pitching anyway lol

seeing some of the sh*te these ad agencies put out, probably toothpaste

Excellent album that one, the one preceding that and the one after though are much harder work IMO. John Zorn was let loose a little to much

lovely bass btw

Nuneaton? you have my sympathies

Aye, that looks great does that, well done

How many of us had to pick up a bass and noodle to find out what they do? lol I know I did It appears I favour the FT technique, but change to anchoring when Im playing predominantly on the E string. Neither technique seems to sound any different, Im muting equally with each. Horses for courses?

very nice

I did come over a bit faint whilst writing that spec, ill admit

Love some of the shapes he puts out, but as said wouldn't buy one due to the known quality issues. And I wish (see what he did there) that he would apply some of his 'different shaped wierdness' to that tedious headstock design

Ive often wondered this. Learnt summat today. I love this place

I pretty much exclusively play flats these days to get rid of the finger noise, I can still get a reasonably trebly brightness with them. easier on teh fingertips too. Don't think Ill be going back to rounds anytime soon
