[quote name='jackers' timestamp='1358425017' post='1938825'] Cheers for the replies so far guys Does anyone here use an iPad to practice? If so, what apps do you use? [/quote] I use Amplitube. Cheaper than a practice amp. I think mine was £11, plus I bought a couple of extra pedals for £2 each. And the iRig was £25 ish.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1354014853' post='1880740'] Never mind 2 or 3 per gig, I'm probably making 2 or 3 per song! I do have a good poker face though, developed through years of not corpsing on stage when things go wrong in my theatre and comedy performances! [/quote] Haha yeah, I make a couple of mistakes on at least 50% of our songs. As for the poker face, I've not got that down yet - I guess I'd rather people know I'm aware of my errors

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1357713325' post='1927029'] Sorry But what did you expect? [/quote] A degree of maturity?! I have a sense of humour, but I started this thread to obtain information that would be useful and valuable to myself and perhaps others, not to read lesbian and penis jokes.

Thanks for destroying what was supposed to be a sensible and informative thread guys. Really appreciate that.

I'm wanting to know what kind of bass you feel most comfortable playing. The info I'm interested in is brand/model, scale length, number of strings, string spacing, etc. I just want to get a feel for what type of basses women feel suit them best. Thanks for your time

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1357651281' post='1925965'] Before someone forgets to mention it: different series can have different necks, so more or less chunky P necks exist and more or less slim J necks. People will certainly chime in with hard facts and better knowledge, but at least this has now been mentioned. best, bert [/quote] That's true, thanks for pointing that out. I forget about the different series and just mentioned the American Standards in my post above.

Come on guys! There must be more of you up for this, it's a bit of fun!

I believe Precision necks are 42mm at the nut, and Jazz necks are 38mm, which is quite a difference, but the heel size is the same. Personally,I [i]think[/i] I prefer Precision necks, Jazz ones feel a bit cramped.

[quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1357507145' post='1923830'] Funnily enough i'm the same - I wear ear plugs in bed every night... now can't sleep without them! [/quote] Yep me too. Also wear earplugs when my other half and I are watching TV.

I use headphones (actually, the in ear buds) when I practice and have never had a problem, but that's probably because I don't have it loud at all. I don't like anything particularly loud (good choice of hobby eh? Haha). And I always use earplugs at rehearsal and gigs. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get any damage

Another girl bassist here, welcome Bass Lady! Enjoy the forums

Does sound like the truss rod needs a little adjustment. How much relief is there?

Same here, back problems so weight is a huge factor for me. Anything over 9lbs is pretty much a definite no go, no matter how well it balances. I personally don't like skinny nut widths and I have small hands. My P bass has a nut width of 42mm which is just right for me. But, however, I know great big rugby player type guys with hands like shovels who much prefer the 38mm jazz nut.

Couple of new pics from me My basses on my extremely gaudy sofa.

It's not, they're exactly the same size. [IMG]http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a407/ImaginaryEvil/Snapbucket/65196E0F.jpg[/IMG]

I bought a couple of stands from the Old Horse. Great comms, quick delivery, thanks mate

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1356217761' post='1908183'] I've done this in private sales before. Never had a problem. I work at BassGear one day a week to help out my friend who owns the store. Pretty sure he'll be happy to agree something along these lines for you. Check his stock and see if there's anything that takes your fancy [/quote] Private sales? As in you and another individual, not a shop? Bass Gear is an amazing store! But one of the things I'm after is a Squier, I'm sure they don't stock those
