My snark can tune and and down in semitones.. I bet thats what it is

Ooh goosebumps, going to look for that now!

If you are in a band already that is a huge leap already taken, especially if, as you say you are the weakest link, it makes you try all the harder. you will learn more playing with real people than you could ever learn off the internet. I know cos thats' exactly what happened to me when I started 11 years ago! Good luck, and welcome to Basschat!

Finger style fell naturally to me, but some songs in the set lists of yore just demanded a pick, I used to get horrendous cramps in my right hand as I gripped the pick so tightly, if I focussed on my right hand to keep a light grip, I'd forget what I was playing! I stuck to pick on really simple bass line/ songs, Doctor Doctor by UFO for example, and eventually it became 2nd nature...took fookin ages though. Dava picks for me BTW, nice a grippy, pretty colours lol and the sound I wanted.

Oh yes please! Pm sent

My this man is busy! Just had his pearlescent silver P off him for a top price, new set of strings and now off to rehearse, was well worth the trip and Andy is a lovely fella!

Cheers, have passed the info on

Top Man! I too thought like until, until 1982 when it was announce a 1 off special concert at MK Bowl, featuring all the original members, including PG. It was the wettest, most back achingly painful day I spent in my entire life, but when they all hit the stage..I was in heaven!! I have a bootleg of the gig somewhere, a lovely reminder of a great day.

Thanks bud, thats pretty much what I thought, but would hate to give him duff gen and blow up his new toy...or worse his cab!

So if its a pre amp, he still needs some kind of power amp between it and his cab? He don't want to use his Marshall valve head, any suggestions as to what he should use? Cheers!

Anyone ever heard of these? http://www.avid.com/US/products/eleven-rack_2/features#overview Guitarist friend of mine blagged one cheap and ain't sure what he's got! Can he connect such a thing straight into his Marshall 4 x12 cab? he's trying to avoid using his Marshall valve head completely, will he need some kind of separate power amp? He's asked me and I have no idea.....over to you oh great and sage basschatters

Lol that was posted on page 1...do try and keep up!

If you are playing acoustically, that fret noise seems very loud, but when you are competing against the rest of the band, you really don't notice it as much.

Can't find one for a galaxy note 2 dammit!

DAMN...I wish I still had my iphone!

[quote name='OzzyGreg' timestamp='1375482096' post='2162236'] I am dying to hear this show! But being in Australia I can't receive the broadcast! Is it ever recorded and podcast later or anything like that? Is anyone thinking of recording it themselves? Help!!!!
