BassBus

That looks like a good TE pairing.

I have a Commando 10, which is the 65w version. Good little amps. They were the cheaper end of the Trace Elliot range made somewhere outside UK. The 150 should be a good bet. The 65w was only really any good for practice. It got lost even in a folk setting. The 150 will have a lot more push behind it.

It could be worse. Girls Alound might make a new album.

Do i turn until it plays ok and then leave it 24hrs to settle or do i need to turn, leave it 24hrs and then see if it plays OK. Sorry for all the questions, have always seen truss rod adjustment as a bit voodoo and don't want to f it up. Kind Regards Rob [/quote] Some people like to set a bass up by look and feel. I like to work with measurements to rough it in and then see how it feels. If you can get hold of a capo, clamp that on at the first fret then hold the E string down at 17th fret. Then check the distance between fret and string at 5th and/or 7th fret. I use a feeler gauge of 0.3mm as a guide. if it slips in without moving the string the neck relief is OK. If it moves the string then trus rod needs loosening a bit more. If the gauge has room either side of it the trus rod needs tightening. Some players prefer a narrower gap. That's where feel comes in. It's what suits you and what you feel comfortable with. Gary Willis' guide is good but remember he plays with a really light touch. If you like to dig in more neck relief might be better. Lots of vidoes on YouTube on the subject.

Yes, because they are giving the tension that you need for the right bow in the neck. Without the strings you will just be guessing and have to put the strings on and off to check it.

As HowieBass said. Moving from heavier to lighter gauge strings usually means the neck adopting a back bow which would explain dead notes below third fret. The trus rod adjustment on your bass is at the body end of the neck, under the little plate. As you are looking at the end of the trus rod (adjusting end) lefty loosey, righty tighty. Left to induce a forward bow, which is probably what you need.

For me, it's not really about good or bad. I simply like it or I don't like it. I listen to stuff now I would never have dreamt of listening to when I was 17. I'm always on the lookout for new music that resonates with me. There's probably music from all corners in my accumulation of CDs, vinyl and downloads.

Dare I say the Recurve looks even better than the Wal. Difficult to achieve but a very fine looking bass.

A good one usually goes for around £1500. Unless you can persuade a seller otherwise.

Nice player indeed. However, if Cory Henry played the organ in a church near me I think I would be able to find religion. Praise the Lord!

Janek Gwizdala did a useful series of free videos about harmony late last year. They were a preview for his twelve week course on the subject. Worth a look. http://youtu.be/7d5t8t0Y-zU

I used to have a Yamaha six string which was just too big for me. Weighed a ton and the neck was wider than the Amazon delta. It had 19mm spacing I think, 35" scale as well. That made the neck very wide. I'm using fivers these days with 16.5mm spacing at the bridge. The neck width on those is just right for my smaller hands. I wasn't sure about 16.5mm spacing until I tried it. Have no problem going back to fours with 19mm though. The longer scale lengths are usually there to tighten up the B string. Not always as clear a tone from that on a 33" or 34" scale. It's easy to say try some out but sixers aren't that common but it would be worth seeking some out with wider and narrower spacings.

have you had any windows updates recently? Have you tried a system restore?

How much do you want to spend? You might think about a remote keyboard and use an iPad with a few synth apps on it. The quality of synth apps is very high and they are not that expensive. Have a look at some of the iRig keyboards. Alesis, Akai, arturia, amongst others, make remote keyboards.

That's settings for the GK pickups. Godin use RMC pickups in the saddles. Found a thread with recomended settings for RMCs. http://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3965.msg26797#msg26797

Just seen it on BBC2. Until then it had been a perfect day. However the hoards will no doubt go out (or stay in) and buy it.

Four strings would be a ukulele.

I lost interest as soon as that woman started spueing her usual bile.

One glaring omision was no mention of Ray Wilson. Surely part of the band history.

Don't run before you can walk. Bit of a cliche but nevertheless true. As KB says practice a piece slowly and gradually build up the speed. If you prctice slowly you have more chance of finding where you are going wrong. Maybe get hold of some slow downer software. That can let you hear the notes in the same pitch only slower.

Don't be afraid to take the top off the tuner box. Just remember one thing, loosen all the strings off before you loosen any screws otherwise you'll have bits flying all over the room. Will that screw turn in to the tuner at all?

That sounds like a similar problem that some GR-55 owners have had. Sorry I can't remember the resolution. Have a look in the link below. A whole forum related to Roland guitar synths. Lots of useful stuff. http://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/
