Bass-ic

Thanks very much for that matt

Alas, i dont know enough about it to ask those questions.

Hi, can anyone give me a very brief run down on strings, as this seems to be a bit of a mine field Cheers Matt

Hello Ped and machines Are you still doing the count online tomorow? And if i log on in the morning and stay logged on will it count? I gotta drive to Scotland tomorow! Matt

It would be nice to get a decent bargain tho!

Cash machine by Hard Fi, and im working on its my life by talk talk....its slow going.I was quite pleased with learing a song , its not been long since i started playing Matt

Right! having got so far with a 'bass for dummies' book, i feel like i need some proper tuition. can someone please reccomend a teacher in or around the Bristol area. many thanks Matt

What bass is she playing?

[quote name='geilerbass' post='168921' date='Apr 3 2008, 10:43 AM']The only solo(ish) piece I've ever learnt to the point that I can always play it, is the Dune Tune, by Level 42. I'll play that if pushed, but usually when people say "play something" I'll just play a bass line from one of my band's tunes.[/quote] is there such a thing as a tab chart for dune tune? Id love to get my hands on it! Matt

[quote name='Machines' post='152960' date='Mar 7 2008, 11:28 AM']Nope not yet - you have to email it ! See the bottom of the review.[/quote] I have resent, I hope it has arrived AB( Matt)

[quote name='Machines' post='152846' date='Mar 7 2008, 07:33 AM']116 people so far ! Competition closes this Sunday so get those emails in, any sent after Sunday will be deleted.[/quote] am just checking that you have got mine!

Its my life-Talk Talk Waiting for an alibi- Thin Lizzy Some Coldplay, Feeder, Hootie and the blowfish. Am new to this, but am learning lots! M

I would be happy to be able to play anything right now, but +1 on Rush, and recently i was listening to 'its my life' Talk Talk. Matt

yep, definitely in! It might be the first thing ive ever won! Matt

It certainly looks like a lovely instrument Good luck to all Matt

Another question ! im full of these..sorry! How good are Thoman amps.....they seem to be their own brand as it were.....Plus they seem to be fairly inexpensive. Thanks for all your help Matt

Right, a few things here.... i am not a good enough player to actually stand in a shope and play something, err in fact, anything yet, soi do the research i can and then ask you lot cos youre all probably much much bettre players than I am. But, i am liking the 2x10 to start with and then to add a 15. Hmmm......i thought about asking about manufacturers..but i realise that this is purely personal , and i may actually need to go and embaress myself somewhere. Yikes Matt

Hi This is all good, I havent really played any of these set ups yet as still use a combo at home which is Ok for practicing on. However, i do want to get something better eventually, but most probably when i can actually play the bass a bit better. I was just wondering about the difference. Matt

so! In my quest to get my new passion of playing the bass sorted, i have started looking at a combo amp, as a head and so on seems highly expensive to start with. What, if any are the advantages of getting different speaker sizes, ie 10, 12, or 15 inch cones? cheers Matt
