I downloaded Reaper and got stuck very quickly. (Numpty as well) Here's a thread I found very useful http://basschat.co.uk/topic/229026-how-to-record-simply-using-reaper/page__fromsearch__1

There's a lot of Squier P's going for £100 or less on ebay recently. You could always swap out the pup on that too and a neck on a Squier P is only 43mm wide. I'd be very reluctant to do anything to the Ibby as you like it.

It certainly looks great. I hope you got her something more than a card? If not you're going to have to do something drastic...

It's a good day! I've just bought a set of La Balla flats from Gareth. They're really cool and Gareth is a great guy to deal with. He's a nice guy too. Many thanks mate Cheers Rich

Do you mean like this one? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aria-SB-40-Fretless-Bass-with-Hard-Foam-Case-/331112999547?"]http://www.ebay.co.u...-/331112999547[/url] I don't know if it's 80s

[quote name='crashdesk' timestamp='1392243443' post='2366498'] Couldn't find gstring but did find ntrack. It says that you hold your bass close to the phone but doesn't mention anything about plugging in. Do you plug in your bass?

gString. I've got it on Android, but it's also on the iPhone. It's also FOC.

This may not be the same bass, but... [quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1392126353' post='2365016'] I bought this a few weeks ago and it's a fantastic bass, great pups and neck and it's lovely to play [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb1975_na.htm#bewertung"]http://www.thomann.d...a.htm#bewertung[/url] John [/quote]

Some Fender Jazz basses can sound amazing. A jazz will give you much more flexibility in the sound. Also, don't forget you can always change the pups too. I've got Seymour Duncan Quarter pounders in my Squier P. It gives it a great punch and a really loud voice. I like mine.

[quote name='Farisus' timestamp='1392124298' post='2364967'] Charic , i own a squier p bass and it's my first bass ( i play bass for roughly 1 and a half year ) . I would've tried them if i could Charic haha =P but unfortunatly ... The only basss that i can try are Fender jazz bass Mexican and American , Ibanez , Yamaha etc but don't like these brands at all specially Yamaha .. [/quote] So we can try to help you more; What do you like about the Squier P-bass? Do you have standard pickups? Do you like the sound of the P-bass? What are you looking for in a new bass? Are you in a band? What sort of music do you want to play with the new bass? What look of bass do you like? Are you happy with a bass that only has 1 pup? (a jazz or PJ allows you more flexibility in the tone)

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1392126254' post='2365014'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just had a thought maybe the pick up is a touch high that side and you get a kind of click or very faint earth pop as you are close to the pup but when playing with a pick or outstretched thumb you are just that bit extra away from the pup for it not to interfere if that makes any kind of sense? I would tray lowering the pickup on that side a touch see if that helps. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] or you can drop it round mine if you want and I will have a fiddle with it if you want as I have plenty of time on my hands right now [/font][/color] [/quote] That sounds like a great offer from Thunderbird. Don't forget to take the Hob-Nobs. Anyway, I'm not helping anymore. I just read the OP's profile. He dislikes BMW drivers!! That's me well out of here. I've got 2!!

I sold a neck and a small classical guitar to Rich. He's a really nice guy. Very trustworthy. One of the best! Many thanks Rich

Yep, I can agree with you there.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1392071008' post='2364453'] I'm not sure where the argy-bargy is coming from mate as I was only trying to help with your post. The fact of the matter is that you can take the placement measurements from the neck/frets.... and I do. And a genuine MM scratchplate (far from being purely decoration, Rich) is the ideal starting point to make a template from. You have intimated that you may not have made the best job of yours - if there's a bit of wiggle room, a MM pg will also let you perfectly correct any misalignment you may have had by doing it by eye. [/quote] I don't think we're really disagreeing too much here, Rich. If you have a genuine MM pick guard it will give you a template for the ideal position for the pup in relation to the frets on the neck, providing you measure from the same fret; i.e. the 12th/20th etc. But if you position a MM pup routing by measuring the position from the bottom of the pickguard on MM guard and apply that same spacing to create the position in a Fender guard I doubt it will be the same distance from the frets/bridge. I may be wrong. If you wanted to put a MM pup on a Warwick - as seen above, an you use a MM guard as a template to give the spacing from the bottom of the neck I think it will also be wrong. But again I'm open to being corrected. My understanding is the things that affect the sound in a real way is the length of the strings and the position of the pup(s) in relation to the strings. If is pickguard isn't there as decoration and something to cover over the cable routing, then should I get guards for my Warwick and the other 2 bases I have that don't have one?
