Don't think, FEEEEEEEEELLLL. I tried getting ghost notes when I was learning to slap and I consciously put a lot of unnecessary effort into it. Then one day I just relaxed and had fun with it and hey presto - I got a ghost note. I then 'backwards engineered' what I had done and realised that the effort that I had been investing to develop a new technique had been causing me to tense the muscles in my wrists and hands. The minute I stopped trying everything just fell into place. Weird.

Doubtful. The Dave Hall VT1-EQ does Bass in, Headphone socket, MP3 in, Volume and lovely EQ but no drum machine. It'll power to 8Ω speakers but only as a practice amp (around 1Watt). It's got a great quality DI too, so you could gig with it if there were facilities for using on stage monitoring from the mixer. Failing that it'd be a Tascam Bass trainer (but relies on mp3 tracks uploaded via USB, so no line in) or similar.

Hi all, my father in Law does the occasional 'live show' with reptiles and spiders etc and needs some voice reinforcement/ small PA. Obviously trhe smaller the better as it's being transported in a car full of animals and stuff. Something like the Peavey Escort would be good as it's all self-contained but it's a bit big. Can anyone recommend something like this: [attachment=119178:tn2_7921456.jpg] but smaller - doesn't have to be 300W either as it's just for speech. Cheers, Paul

cheers for that, I'm keen to avoid hum so I reckon I'll have to up my game.

Anybody tried one of these power bricks - my current supply has started its downward decline and I need a quick, cheap replacement - how good are these? http://www.maplin.co.uk/9v-power-bank-for-guitar-effect-pedals-31292

Welcome on board.

Yay! Top beat box. A classic.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1348398321' post='1813067'] Phosphor bronze is about the ultimate because its hard, and self lubricating. Ali is probably a bit soft and makes your fingers go black if you touch it much, although that depends on the alloy. [/quote] Phosphor Bronze will make your sweat turn green though.

Pretty much, in fact I've just sold my last fretted bass this week. I'm in the position where I can pretty much do what I want (musically), so I opted for fretless as it's a more expressive, lyrical feel and sound. Occasionally I'll miss having frets (chord stuff and fast passages up the dusty end) but for the most part I carry on regardless. I still use all the effects that I ran on my fretted (Big Muff, Woolly Mammoth, envelope filters etc..) and the differentce is negligible, I am pretty heavy with my plucking hand though, so I can still get the 'string noise' that I need for rock stuff. \m/

I fitted one of these ramps onto my bits P Bass - works a treat and if anything, gives me MORE attack! [attachment=118976:images-1.jpeg]

They've also got this for shielding cavities... [attachment=118974:Product_Detail_Wk35S_3.jpg]

I think the 'cut' for removing the head is slightly too high. Research leads me to believe that it should really have been sawn 17" (or so) closer to the body - roughly the 12th fret should do it.

Animato, Lovetone Meatball and a Moog Murf. I've built a couple of clones (Noobie Hobbyist) but these are WAY out of my league.

Charlie Parker's gone man, he's gone.

I used a bit of 'no more nails' to refit an errant fret (for shame) and that's been fine so far - very messy though. The best idea I've seen is to use contact adhesive and thinners, then use a craft knife to dribble it into the tiny gap between the fret and the board. Tried that too - very fiddly but smells wonderful.

Bach book bought (try saying that quickly!)
