BassTractor

Hey Rob, Welcome from another bass noob. As you already have found, there's lots of help to be had here. Enjoy your stay!

Hi Gonch, Welcome to BC! Yes, do share some wisdom. Got any exciting basses we need to know about?

Other VOIP services might be better than Skype. I'll start a thread on Skype and alternatives in Off Topic. Might become interesting.

I'm sorry that BC has come to this. This is a well-documented and often reported scam. If you send these people your StingRay, chances are you'll never see your fiver or tenner or both. Sorry to be the bringer of bad tidings, but it was necessary. £16 then? Including P&P to Norway?

[quote name='30507090' timestamp='1340390390' post='1704029'] Photos would not upload though. Sorry [/quote] The simplest way is just to copy 'n' paste them. There are other ways as well; for example you can go advanced by using the "More Reply Options" button to the right of the "Post" button, and use the paperclip there. A bit quirky though, as you'd also have to "Use" the uploaded pix at the insert point. I'd say: go with direct copy 'n' paste.

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1340380240' post='1703810'] I personally think that every band needs someone who takes the reigns and runs with the major issues and concerns rather than "hope for the best" attitude. [/quote] IME this is what is needed. "Hope for the best" turns people who once seemed sensible and pleasant into manipulators and/or dissatisfied.

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1340379954' post='1703801'] it was a good learn experience. [/quote] But Todd! Look what it did to your face!

Hey Sam, There just was a major thread on this a few weeks back. Search for Thomann and it will pop up.

Hi 30507090, Welcome to BC! I hope you enjoy the banter, and share your wisdom.

I've only seen two Affinities, and both looked like haste jobs technically. I passed on them. More expensive Squiers are a totally different league as far as I can see. YMMV of course.

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1340306447' post='1702734'] You can't see me but you can hear [/quote] Heardyaloudnclear. Great stuff, both music, bass and rest of band. I'd love to play stuff like that with musicians like that. So I must check out the Col. then, must I? Any other names in the same style that I should check out?

Hi Surfinbernard, Welcome to BC! You'll fit right in. Nobody here is preoccupied with gear, so we just buy lots of it all the time, and don't get too attached. Works wonders. Enjoy!

[quote name='Booooooom' timestamp='1340223291' post='1701453'] I've got all my bases covered![/quote] See? There's really no need for them to gather dust! If only more people would realise.

sh*t. Gotten even more buyassed now. I hate BC. np: [b]Fish Tank: Henry[/b]. First song just started. Promising!

[quote name='Grim13' timestamp='1340217897' post='1701319'] I've been playing my way through exercise books at home, alone with my drum machine[/quote] That's an idea I never had. How do you feel this works? Satisfied? Do you program the thing, or just use built-in meters?

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1340186973' post='1700521'] there were plenty of people who thought the invention of the wheel was a change for the worse.[/quote] [b]WAS???[/b] As in that they actually did finish it? I never read that. Holy moses. Then I must admit I stand corrected. Wheel, eh? Hm. Did they write anything about whether they've found out what to use it for?

[quote name='Subbeh' timestamp='1340221888' post='1701430'] I can see why, really enjoyed that. Very interesting song and some really nice bass going on . [/quote] Yes! Great stuff. I got biased too, and would buy a studio version off iTunes right away.

Don't know it this is possible at all in the UK, but just in case: Here in Norway, as long as I could provide proof that I was a professional musician, I got to buy directly from the importers at reduced prices. On some occasions this 'gotten' me as much as a 40% discount. Deal was: NO tape to cover the brand name. np: [b]AMTP[/b]

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1340219956' post='1701375'] microchipped. Yes, in an identical way to pets.[/quote] In the neck fat then. Hm. Must affect tone like an E-Bow.

I was gonna welcome you, but then saw your apostrophe. Sorry. Go away. You said you'd been hanging around, didn't you? Welcome to the surface, Paul (I assume). You'll be sure to have a great time then. Ashdown? Terrible stuff. Music Man? Terrible stuff. My sig? Terrible stuff. C-ya around.

Hi Grim13, Welcome to BC! Yes, there's lots like you on here, only most of them are grown ups (48 and over). The advice will flow your way alright. Enough topics to read, enough old stuff to do searches in, and you can just ask a question and it will be answered before you've even thought through how exactly to word it. Good luck on your quest. Enjoy!

My Android doesn't work, so I can't check right now, but if Google Play has one of the following, I think you're in for a lot of fun. Sorry if they're not available there. I thought it better to tell anyway. - PocketGK, a Gallien-Krueger bass amp - GarageBand. Of all the stuff in this large app, to date I use the simulations of different amps and effects.

I'm dead. Goodbye.

Hi Mike, Welcome to BC from another noob. B.A.S. will not become worse, but since it will stay the same, you're in for a fast ride. See you again in a few years when you'll have acquired 834 of them. Careful with that signature, please! Don't forget B.A.S. also requires that you develop generic GAS, and buy pedals and amps ... and plectraiiums.

Hi MandShef, Welcome to BC. You'll find this a friendly, knowledgeable place. I'm a classical player too, but have joined the dark side because of the cookies. You want some cookies too? Enjoy the site!
