I have a Reidmar, the drummer I play with is loud. I cannot hear him if I turn up past 3 in rehearsal. On an outdoor gig I had to turn down on stage to hear anyone else. Its fooking loud.

Whatever you do, keep that cheap P bass. Saying that nothing you have apart from that gives you a good sound and then getting rid of that too would be stupidity. No punches being pulled

Duran Duran - Notorious as I decided to learn it.

My '62 refin was much cheaper this year.

4 grand for a refin is ridiculous imho

The BG250 1x15 that I have is great. Lighter than the 1x12 guitar amp I have and loud enough for pubs. DI out for bigger gigs and a decent tonal palette. I heard a Markbass 1x12 in a tiny pub with a markbass head and it sounded good.

This may be a little convoluted. I've never tried to write it down before. 1979 age 5 compulsory guitar lessons at school. All I remember is "thumb/strum" and the chord D Recorder lessons through primary school. I guess 83 I played steel pans at school (and in the school band) and around the same time started on Trumpet. Played trumpet in the first 2 years of senior school in the school's brass band/orchestra. Changed schools after that and their music program was lacking. Got an electric guitar in the 90s (bought it in welling, red Marlin strat copy). eventually learned to play Green Day and Who songs along with Sunshine of your love and born under a bad sign. bought a 1960s burns Played power chords in a band for a couple of gigs and rehearsals. Bought a drum set in the late 90s, studied hard, went and took lessons, attended residential school etc. Played in a couple of bands that never gigged. Bought another couple of guitars.Took some lessons. Played Harmonica in a band. Bought a bass. Then stopped playing any music at all really. Went to a Blues jam to play Harmonica, then just started thinking about playing the blues on bass. took some lessons, became a regular at a jam, got several offers of gigs, house band in a couple of jam nights etc. All good fun.

I can put you in touch with Andy who owns it if you like? There have been reports of it closing down but I do not know how true that is. Its been packed the last few Wednesdays I've been in there.

Greenwich Blues and Soul jam again this Sunday. The pub is really cool, just near the park. https://www.facebook.com/the3rdsundayjam

Put a decal on.

I'm in the house band for a monthly jam night, that makes you a better person everytime you have to play a song you dont know and the jammer doesn't give you much of a clue

I'm going to be bold and say the US basses are far nicer to own and play than the Mexican ones and are far nicer than the Squiers.

I have to say this but the ammo for the OSG guys was provided by posting it in places where you aren't a member. To me it looks like an attempt to damage business rather than protect a community. If it was just this thread here where you are a very active member then I doubt anyone would have had anything negative to say. Maybe

I have no interest in which one is the best. However I frequently watch the video of Sharay at the church jam session. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pATcvr3zAhg and frequently watch PIno in a few of his videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktyhXq00RxQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFgFFNXahcg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgtqD_zyGPw

I'd obviously heard the famous songs off of it. I thought it was OK.

I've never listened to that album. Doing so right now.

Thank you Sir.

I'd be as disappointed as you were with that picture. It seems weird to send a picture of the guard and then say you couldn't have a full refund if it wasn't what you'd asked for.

I know exactly what I want. I want to be in a 3 piece with a couple of friends, both of whom are very talented and fun to be around. I want to play the side man and support the singer/guitarist and do everything I can to make him sound and look good. I want to play a few times a year to a minimum of 300 people.

That silver jazz is exactly what I want
