    You'll never need another cabinet other than this one. It handles 700 watts of power @4 ohms. I've been running this with an Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 and club gigs, wedding, and general casual gigs I would never need anything else. This cabinet is "brand new", I just prefer the vertical 2x10 that Jorg made for me so this little guy needs a new home. I'm selling this for £500 cash!!! If you ordered this from Schroeder you would pay $799 pus shipping ($195) as this one was custom made for me to handle 700 watts RMS. So, in pounds you would pay £829.76! With that in mind, you are saving £329.76 straight out of the gate. It also has a heavy duty Titanium bullet tweeter at 200watts RMS. I can ship it but would rather someone from the UK buys it and collects from me personally. If you're interested, please message me. Cheers!

    When skipping adjacent strings, I would use the same approach described in the video- when ascending alternate; when descending cross with same finger.

    Hey Tom How's it going- long time Brother! Melodically, a good place to start is by just using triads. Experiment by not always using the root on the downbeat. Rhymically, 3/4 often gives you the opportunity to use Ostinato lines as in All Blues. Also when walking build your lines by first playing dotted half notes, then progessing to dotted quarters and then finally quarter notes. This allows you to build dynamically over time. For more advanced purposes, start to experiment by using the dotted quarter notes as a metric modulation concept over the 3/4. For instance...2-bars of dotted quarter notes in 3/4 equals one bar of 4/4. You can experiment with a drummer where he holds the original time in 3 down while you do that, or he can start to interprept the new 4/4 time over that with you. Lot's of fun here. I have a course on my 2-Year Bass Mastery Course which goes way, way into these concepts. Hope that helps. Best Joe

    I guess it depends whether or not you think it's causing you some issues. Learning to play with better "economy of motion" will definitely allow you to access more faccility across your instrument. I have a good video that breaks down left hand technique here:

    Not really. I feel that slapping is a very individualised technique and is probably best developed through listening and transcribing. With that said, most slapping is based on very syncopated rhythms. If you don't understand syncopation then that's wheree you'll want to start.

    Yes there is. This lesson will help. Pay close attention to the detail covered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXr75R2egt0

    This is what I do for a living so I pretty much practice every day. How much varies, but it's usually betweeen 3 to 4 hours per day- sometimes more. What I work on is usually dependent on my on going studies with Charlie Banacos. Although Charlie is no longer with us, his top student - Garry Dial - of 38 years who works on behalf on the Banacos family continues to carry on Charlie's legacy. I studied with Charlie for 10 years and in that time had 150 lessons with him. I haven't counted, but I've been with Garry for the last 8 years and have probably had roughly well over a hundred lessons with him as well. These are all Charlie's original lessons in his own hand. They are very involved and it takes a lot of time to work these concepts into your vocabulary. At the moment I'm working on a bunch of John Coltrane improvisational concepts which are mind bending to say the least. My formula is simple: Listen, practice, play! I never warm up- I just sit down and do the work. Often to find out what I need to work on, I'll practice improvising over a tune (with no backing tracks) and after about 12 choruses, I can find various things that bug me about the way I played. It's sort of a reverse-engineering process but it works for me.

    Check out the number one reason that beginner bassists don't improve: https://www.joehubbardbass.com/9335/beginners-bass-principle-1-learning-to-slow-down/

    The answer lies in using two left-hand stances: the one finger per fret or 4-finger stance and the 3-finger stance, where the 3rd and 4th work as one. Check out this week's lesson on my YouTube Channel, where I break this down: I go into great detail with thesse left-hand positions in my Bass Foundation Course: https://www.joehubbardbass.com/foundation/

    It's really down to just a few things. 1). You have to have enough reasons to want to improve. 2). You have to create enough time in each day that is your music time. Personal motivation will be different from person to person, but a good thing to do is write down all the reasons why you want to become a better musician and why it's important to you. By visually seeing all the reasons this is so omportant to you will help you to prioritise your schedule. In a 24-hour period, there are 1440 minutes. All you need is 100 minutes for 6-days a week to see incredible improvement. You then want to understand the commitment needed to to become proficient. It takes a while. People far over estimate what they can accomplish within a year and far under estimate what they can achieve in 6-years. 100 inutes a day for 6-days is 10 hours per week. There are 168 hours in a week and everybody has the same 168. The average person watches anywhere between 4 to 6 hours of TV and social media...sometimes more. It's all down to priorities and ultimately what's important to you.
