andyonbass

Just bought a bass from Mike, clearly been well looked after, (the bass that is ), sold for a fair price with a nice cuppa and a good ole chat about bass stuff thrown in for good measure! Be happy to trade with him again in the future

The Korg Pandora has a load of drum patterns, as well as many other useful features for a practice anywhere solution. I had the older PX3B but I'm sure the current models have the same if not more features.

I depped for a band where the singer said she couldn't do a certain song because she hadn't learned the ad-libs yet

Soul Limbo!!! You know the one - from the cricket.....

Pick up the pieces - Average White Band. Be a good one to do if you get one of the keys to do the brass

Sorry to hijack, but how do you fretless guys monitor your playing in a live situation? Often as not I struggle to hear myself playing fretted bass in the band where intonation isn't an issue (as long as you hit the correct fret )

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1337088108' post='1655162'] It's not a planet waves cable by anychance is it? Some of these can have a little "spring" type area on the jack which I suspect is meant to make it grip better. Doesn't always work in reality though [/quote] If the previous owner used Planet Waves cables it may have opened out the contacts a touch, making non PW cables a sloppy fit. Wouldn't be the first time I've heard that.

Go and see a few bands around your local pub circuit, and if you hear what sounds good to you, go and pick the brains of the bass player and check out his gear. It took me a long time to learn that what you hear on stage can be totally different to what the punters hear out front.

Even his covers are bloody great Taken from the film "does humor belong in music" which is what first got me into FZ [u][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TItmXT8DkM[/media][/u]

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1334779893' post='1621279'] I might just give it a shot, it's not huge money, and hopefully it's up to the job. I won't be asking too much of it! [/quote] I'd be interested in your findings, it could be that I had a duff one [quote name='charic' timestamp='1334750659' post='1620601'] I all fairness ACG's do kick out a fair amount of bass [/quote] Good point but it was the same with my mim passive jazz. All sound fine through headphones though.

I have a Vox amplug and its fine with headphones, but when I tried it with the matching cab, it would fart out even at accoustic guitar volumes, and yes it was the bass version!

My daughter has a sixty quid Westfield P bass. Its a brilliant piece of kit and I'd be happy to gig it anytime if it wasn't [i]PINK![/i]

Dunno if [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159966-fs-new-year-reduced-bill-fitzmaurice-2x-jack-10-in-single-cabl160/page__hl__bfm__st__20"]this[/url] is still available, but BFM cabs sound great with MB heads. Great price too.

[quote name='Valhalalf' timestamp='1332780572' post='1593029'] Hey guys I've started doing some acoustic trio sets in pubs and at weddings using my jazz bass which is fine but not in the vibe of the acoustic thing. I really want to bring something a little different to these gigs than my usual gigging bass. After lots of um-ing and ah-ing over whether I shoud buy another acoustic or an EUB or a Ukele I think I'm now set on getting a fretless semi acoustic bass in the Godin A5 style. I really like the idea of the thinner electric body for comfort but with the piezo acoustic bridge. I know there's a lot of expensive options (Godin, Renaissance, Rob Allen) but after tralling the interwebs I was hoping some people on here could point me in a different direction.I really liked the look of the Fender a/e pbass with it's semi body, f hole and acoustic bridge plus the option of blending in the lace sensors for a touch of electric bass. But perhaps a bit out of my price range atm and kinda hard to come by. Any suggestions will be most appreciated [/quote] I was in a similar situation myself, considering the defret route, but I would prefer an unlined board. Check out this link and drop me a pm if it is of interest to you. There doesn't seem to be too much around at the moment in terms of fretless five string basses.
