Hi Bob. Welcome back to the world of bass. If you truly lack playing skills, it may be a bit early to be considering pedals. If you have money to spend, then lessons would be a sound plan. But whatever you decide, hope you enjoy and stick around, If you do want pedals there are always plenty in the for sale forum

I had the same problem with mine on an open air gig a few years back and that was due to a generator. Not sure of the technicalities but guess the power surges or fluctuates enough for the Shuttle to be affected.

And me.

Shame for you Alex, looked like that was a fun gig.

[quote name='BassistInTheNorth' timestamp='1379356321' post='2211714'] I've been having a blast learning Heart of the Sunrise! On a similar note, I have a new admiration for Chris Squire. [/quote] So pleasing to get a Squire bass line nailed.

I've yet to play a bad Yamaha, enjoy your bargain. Agree with Mr Japanaxe, Gotoh bridges are a good choice. Seem to recall the bridge on my Yamaha BB1200 (stupidly sold) was a seriously chunky unit, maybe you could track down one of those.

This evening, been playing along to and attempting to learn Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache, [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Sw3da9QE4[/media]

Nice wheels John

Nice 69 there Chris, lovely.

I continue to be impressed every day when I play one of the P basses I put together. Don't think I can claim that it's down to any particular skill on my behalf but more, just good components all going together in a pleasing fashion.

Do yourselves a favour and let us know where you are located.

Hi Biscuit, you would probably be better off over in the affiliates forum, along with some info as to where you are located.

My useless memory Karl, just visited your feedback page, only to find I commented on it at the time

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1378792126' post='2204637'] The only other thing about it that narks me is con artist members changing their name to get rid of the bad feedback they have had (you know who you are pal ). [/quote] That is a worry, didn't occur to me that any of that had gone on here.

Recommended, dealing with Jamon was a pleasure, good communications and paid when he said he would. One of the good guys.

Ta, very useful.

I've had plenty of OBBM's leads, as has my band, not a problem with any of them. Quality kit, good prices and rapid delivery.

Learning these three for this weeks rehearsal. Mama told me not to come, Tom Jones/Stereophonics version. Beggin' You. Franki Valli & the Four Seasons. Mr Rock and Roll, Amy Macdonald.

Money well spent Jimmy. After years of faffing about with various cheapies and foam ones my wife treated me to a decent set for my birthday. Use them every gig/rehearsal and they are extremely good.

Hi Frosty, from another Bass Chatter of the same vintage

Not been involved in these sort of events but feel for you, that is a crappy way to carry on.

Delicious looking grain in that Chris. Hope you enjoy

Think I'll stick with fine oil and continue to nick my good wifes cotton wool buddies. Much cheaper.
