Thanks bud. If my height is wrong Would these files work on a brass nut?

Quick question What its the correct height for a bass nut to be cut at?

BTW I've got a book called "simplified sight reading for bass". Its really helped me so far.

[quote name='BassMan94' timestamp='1333404943' post='1601385'] Hi I've started to read music and I cannot get my head around the rests and value of notes. Recognising them on the stave I can do its just rythms. For Example When Im reading if I find out that in the next bar theres a quaver rest, I kind of over think the rest and it just becomes a crotchet rest and the peices timing is totally out If it makes sense, i know all the values of each rest note length etc Its just when you put it together is where i fall apart any tips/advice ? cheers [/quote] I share your pain brother as I have the exact same problem. Its the dotted notes that throw me off. Practice is the way forward I suppose. Annoying though

[quote name='giblett123' timestamp='1333206303' post='1598736'] I'll need time to get my head round the U-retro/J-retro, so many sounds on tap, I don't know which to choose! [/quote] I fitted a j-retro in mine and i know what you mean. Fantastic bit of kit

Cool. Mine too. If they're are as good as mine (which I'm sure they are) you'll be a happy man

They look awesome bud. Well worth the wait

Cool.

Sounds great mate. How much will it cost with import tax?

Yeah Jake, the Shuker. I really love the bass and don't want to sell it so talking to Jon sound like a good idea

Bummer. I thought it sounded too good to be true.

I've been thinking of getting a new bass but then I had this idea. Instead of buying a new bass with 24 frets is it possible to get a new neck made and swap it with the neck I have now (21 frets)? It would save me a lot of money

Here's my Shuker again. Its had a J-retro fitted since this pic BTW

Nice Shuker bud. Welcome to the club

Thanks Doddy Haven't seen you on here for ages

I want one. NOW!

That's the most shockingly awful bass I've ever had the misfortune of looking at

I want it. BADLY. How much does this type of thing cost mate?

Ok. Thanks Bilbo

I've never done any transcribing before and I'm considering giving it a shot. I really think it well help my playing. Has anyone any advice on how to get started like what songs to try and how to approach them?
