Mr Fretbuzz

Why was that Andy? Regards

I'll let you know when my " Band" gets itself a singer ; the other 2 Band Members stop farting around practising with others behind my back; do the other 8 songs on the set list they said they knew .......... Or I find myself a new Band in the meantime :-) PS I was right, the guitard is a dork :-(. Wears tin helmet this time and hides again in the corner :-D

Deusenberg have confirmed on FB it is a 34 and their spec is wrong..I've posted about the 3 pick ups

Like both BigRedX but fancy a double F hole, 34 long scale Don't like my Hofner Ignition short scale much..... might flog it

I did wonder what Bass Peter Hook had. I'll have to put that on the back burner as it is likely to be mucha wonga

Oh yeah Also you can see the pick-up wires which isn't a good look Tried a Jack Casady today which I quite liked but it needed setting up..alot of metallic clacking. Tried a Kay Bass as well.... sounded good but no where for the thumb except a very very thin pick-up near the neck. Tried the black one but Cranes Cardiff had the range. Not for me...... got GAS for the flamed maple Warwick now http://www.kaybassguitar.com

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1365009618' post='2034124'] Warwick Starbass II? [/quote] Wooah, GAS Saw some for £1200 but Thomann about £900. Took a look at some Andy Irvine utubes GAS for the blue and the Sunburst. They sound good I think on the front pick up... with flats as well

That is odd... 30.3 but the home page says its their only long scale bass?? I'm after a 34 inch semi-hollow..oh well, back to Gibson, Gretsch and Epiphone then

Check out this new long scale bass, the Motown http://duesenberg.de/en/basses/motown-bass.html

Ace Deb ... if you book the train about 3 months in advance you might get a return for about £25 or a bit more. Fulham travelodge within walking distance say £32. Early bird weekend tickets before 1 September £30. I got the 11am train back this time but it'll be about 8pm next time :-)

Dates confirmed. I'm going to catch a later train back next year and do both dates. Awesome :-)

I do lots of different stuff... Lessons, books, utube, Scott , did a rockschool grade, play a set list , some band practice, counting to songs in the car, book cd and headphones on holiday, polish the bass, finger movements on the bass, read some theory, do scales arpeggios and 1/2and 4 finger position variations, now doing stuff on a 5 string over 2 octaves, GAS , Bass Bash, always buying bass books with CDs, one day I might do blues riffs, then rock, then country or some African stuff from some books that have unusual bass examples.... ...if I can't be arsed to handle the bass I'll just read and listen to riffs etc... If I can't be arsed to do that I'll play something on the bass....if I can't be bothered to play ill do finger exercises I'm no expert but for me its just doing some kind of bass related thing when I can :-)... It's all practice and knowledge I've improved lately apparently :-)

Yep, just had a listen..GOOD LUCK

I'm not sure it is a triplet Deb. in the rock books I'm using the gallop is an eighth note followed by 2 sixteenths...try that with two fingers :-)

Here goes..hope I get it right : [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2536.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2535.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2534.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2533.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2531.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2529.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2528.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2527.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2526.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2525.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/ukflamesey/DSCN2524.jpg[/IMG]

That was great.I enjoyed it much better than the last one and I got this ace pedal too

Yep, do like Blues etc... I want to be Johnny and the Pirates

We'll have our own rhythm sections soon Been in the Band over 6 months and no where near a gig yet. Can't find a singer. Only had 2 practice sessions too and the last had a guy just come along to try his new amp at 11... had SRV all night ..it was painful so I stuck in the plugs Mr Ace recommended. Had 2 guitarists both playing different chords and the drummer and I doing our own thing. Funny thing was seeing new guitarist pulling a face when band guitarist wanted to play Green Onions in E. Had to smirk. It wasn't just me that found that odd when it should be F Minor. There can't be the excuse of a singer wanting it in E and nothing is sung Mr Ace says F can be a bit tricky for a guitarist but new guitarist didn't find it a problem. Maybe its a case of 30 years to 5 years guitar experience, I dunno. I've got about 14/15 songs on the go with Mr Ace's help...think they are stuck on about 4/5, although they gave me a set list of 11 and they practised for 6 months before I joined them. Just wish that they'd play the right number of chords/riffs etc. I'm learning to play to the score. They want to play their way which is fine if we agreed the way! As Mr Ace said Sunday, highly paid producers produced the music that way for a reason. It would be a lot easier if everyone played their instrument to the same music ..or if we agreed how many repeats of G/C/D etc .. its like a train crash I need a new Band. Might look for a Rock n Roll/Rockabilly Band if you hear of one

The details are out for this. £299. I'm going to go. Worthwhile? Anyone been on one? I had a quick chat with Stuart Clayton at the London Bass Show. Damon Minchella should be taking it.

........ not sure yet Debs..... not sure what I'll be able to fit in the car...probably have Jake with me but he doesn't want to bring his £50 bass ... but then again he is a Drummer

Weird, it's back..I had a cartoon mouse earlier :-D

Bump bish bash bosh ..and what has happened to my avatar:-0

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1363570257' post='2014306'] This one..? I apologise in advance. [/quote] I'm not too keen on natural Discreet... does it come in sunburst

Didn't get a really cheap one in the end and glad I didn't. I was looking for a Peavey at the show but didn't find one , tried a Musicman of sorts with neck dive ...Got a G & L L2500 at the Bass Show with 36% off at £492. Been enjoying it and took it to my lesson with Mr Ace today who gave it the thumbs up A good buy.
