Looking for a brighter sound on my fretless, which is currently strung with Status nylons. Anyone tried Elixers on a fretless? Are they less likely to mark the board compared to normal rounds? Thanks in advance Andy

Heard a couple of cracking tunes from the soon to be released Wilko and Roger Daltrey album on the radio this morning.Very reminiscent of the early feelgoods. Definitely on my shopping list! Anyone know if Norm is playing on the album?

My TH500 is up for sale for the sole reason that I am mainly gigging double bass these days and couldn't really get my sound with it. If I had more bass guitar gigs I would be using the TH500 all the time 'cos it sounds fantastic in that context. I wish I could afford to keep it hanging around in case the situation changes. I am now using an ATS 500 which is completely transparent soundwise, and I would probably add a TH pedal if guitar gigs picked up.

I have Wilkinson tuners on my Bassix.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1391953913' post='2362910'] Good afternoon, Andy... I searched for 'flute lessons skype uk' and got a fair return, such as ... [url="http://www.jqflute.com/skype-flute-lessons.html"]Flute lessons, Skype...[/url] Worth a look, maybe..? [/quote] Never realised you could get Skype lessons!! Thanks for the link, I will suggest this to my daughter [quote name='essexbasscat' timestamp='1391955298' post='2362931'] Begin by just blowing into the hole (as you would blow into a milk bottle to produce a note) with the aim of producing long notes of consistant volume and quality. Practice this until a consistent note can be produced when required. Once that is acheived, attach the other part of the instrument and practice until notes can be produced to the same consistancy. Understanding of the musical scale will help with pitch recognition and the art of producing the correct note when required. Knowing the scale and understanding music theory will help with visualising the note in the mind before aiming to produce it, always a bonus with wind instruments. Progress with wind instruments does go much quicker though if there's someone more experienced playing the same intrument. They'll provide real time examples of how it's done, answer questions (hopefully) and inspire progress. Hope that helps [/quote] Sound advice, thanks. Will pass this on also

So my daughter comes home from Air Cadets the other night with a flute. She's in the marching band and has been banging away on a drum but her logic is "it'll be easier to march with a flute!" She can't actually play one (although she can make some flute-like noises!) but her brief was to see if she could figure it out as there is no-one else there who knows how to play one, let alone teach her! If there are any BC'ers who have any hints or tips or could point us to an internet or other resource that might give her a fighting chance I/we would be most grateful........... Thanks in anticipation..... Andy

Recent transaction with Mel all went very well with no hiccups. Echo all the good egg comments above and happy to trade with her anytime

You could get an ACG graft for just a bit over your budget if you could manage it. My ACG fretless works really well for rock.....

Make sure you have a good right hand technique as well, Geoff ⬆︎covers this in one of his lessons iirc.........

Recent transaction with Pete went off smoothly, instant payment and he was a pleasure to deal with. I'd have no hesitation in trading with him in the future!

Nowt to do with me - I already have a '200'! If anyone's looking for one.....[url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/rare-yamaha-slb100-electric-upright-bass/1044912545"]http://www.gumtree.c...bass/1044912545[/url] Andy
