I have an Orange Crush 50w combo in the living room. But to be honest, I mainly practice with a Korg Pandora and a pair of headphones The Orange has a headphone socket too. I can plug the MP3 player through either and jam along. It's all good

Er, do you think they can hear me now?

+1 on the go for it. My first gig on a bass I had only had three rehearsals and straight in. You soon learn My first jam was the same. I learned the essence of the 12 bar and ended up playing for half an hour. The grin on my face lasted all night Enjoy!

I play guitar and bass and rely on the chords, keys and notation. I have just started to train my ears as I now want to put the sounds to the notes I will ask at a jam what key it's in so I at least have a clue I love learning but know it's not for everyone. It's all good................ it's music

I don't really understand why you would buy something that is artificially reliced, but each to their own! I bet it sounds great

Congrats Dood, Planet Waves ROCK

I find the acoustic guitar is a great pull factor Since taking up the bass, I only get drunken women flirting with me. My misses comes to all of my gigs so I wouldn't be able to respond anyway! Still I need something as I am only 5' 4" and 16 stone

If you want to return the goods they don't send you the money first and then you return the goods....they would give you a short answer if you took that approach, basically saying you're out of your mind...[/quote] Sounds like a good plan to get it all resolved

I saw him supporting Bob Dylan back in the eigthies (I think the memory of dates is a little hazey from that era lol)

[quote name='Geester' post='1198871' date='Apr 13 2011, 10:52 PM']Next, here is an extract from an email to me from Mr Norris - [b]We could, if your unhappy to refund, keep the money, leave the deal as it is but no Washburn, I can get a 120V UPS Step Down Transformer and protect the amp like that. [/b] It appears Mr Norris has not admitted to sending this to me in any of his postings to date, how strange.[/quote] [quote]I declined and asked for the deal to be unravelled now, as I was going on Holiday and I could arrange for the Goods to be returned as soon as the Money was refunded back into my account reversing the deal or [b]we could leave the deal as it was, no Washburn Trade and I would buy a step down Transformer[/b]. Mike said return the goods for a refund, I thought for at least a nano second and then asked for the deal to be reversed, money refunded and then goods returned in that order.[/quote] I think he did Not that I want to take sides or get involved

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1196426' date='Apr 12 2011, 12:50 AM']Just spotted what looks like a somewhat butchered one of these on Ebay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/guitar-project-/260765775275"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/guitar-project-/260765775275[/url] Headstock looks a bit different but the body shape, neck & inlays look identical. Might be a mess under that novelty scratchplate though. Jon.[/quote] I might just buy that

I must be playing wrong I just don't seem to break strings (Bass or Guitar) whilst playing. I don't change them that often either

So, hang tags are the tags hanging on a bass when it's hanging on a wall? Cool

On a positive note I would rather say 5 basses to play whilst still alive rather than before I die.........

[/quote] Yeah but that Sue Ryder is worth £......... Are you going to get that too?

Welcome aboard

I just would not like to play that close to the crowd! (I would like an audience that big though ) Not the er music that I like either but hey ho, the crowd liked it!

Play it loud and sweep those mids
