It is most certainly a great skill to acquire. Now go try it with Hit me with your Rhythm Stick

Although I love modern technology and apps etc. I personally love the organic look and feel of an instrument and this wouldn't appeal to me one bit. Sorry, not saying it's not a good idea and I can see the appeal but not for me.

Good day Dutchie, from a Hoddesdon bassist. Welcome to the forum. Enjoy yourself and like others have said, plenty of help and advice around these parts.

Sorry to hear about this, really feel for you and the family.

Sorry WOT and I posting at the same time

Nige, it wasn't so much the pic in the OP, more the nature of some of the comments.

My black P bass, sold now but it was a cracker [url="https://flic.kr/p/fk9MrP"][/url]

[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1413382867' post='2577735'] The bar in the hills...Tajinaste was awesome when we first started playing there,they got greedy and asked us to play there too often in my opinion. it lost some of the atmosphere,but we always had a blast! I am afraid Kevin passed away last December.......I was over for most of November and into December to help Maggie ,his partner with visits to hospital etc. He was one of the nicest, most generous, warm and friendly people I have ever met.He is sorely missed. [/quote] Ray I'm going to pm you rather than post in this thread.

I suspected it was you Saw you a few times. The Courtyard and Route 66 I think. Always good fun. We also used to go up to a bar up in the hills on a Sunday, which was a good night. Didn't see Kevin earlier this year when we were there, has he moved on?

I'm enjoying 9 - 5 far too much

[/quote] Sorry, bit of a thread hijack but did you get to play much in Tenerife. I'm a regular visitor to the Gigantes/ Puerto Santiago area and wondered if I had seen you. I've also sometimes had thoughts of moving out there and doing a bit of playing to pay the rent.

Very sorry to hear this Pete. Hope you have some other interest to keep you occupied until your situation improves.

[quote name='sellisnba' timestamp='1413293049' post='2576780'] Thanks gary_mac. I'll get some of that ordered. [/quote] No worries. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1413294993' post='2576804'] Though you may want to solder an earth wire onto the shielding at some point! I [/quote] Yes, I should have also pointed that out.

You don't need to solder if you use a tape with conductive adhesive

If you are still able to borrow an amp for gigs, then maybe put up with doing that for a while longer, whilst saving a little more dosh. Might be some more bargains around just after Christmas, when people are strapped for cash and less competition with the bidding on Ebay.
