  1. +1. I might have inferred it in jest but agree that my Bass playing ought to be reported to the Police :-D
  2. [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1339488977' post='1689035'] ah, I've just googled it. It's an old one. Hofner is due at the end on the month [/quote] I've got a photo if you want it.... PM your email :-)
  3. I'd be interested to showcase my Fretbuzz :-)
  4. Yep you've got to think out of the box on this one :-) Get even or I guess put it down to Band Rehersal and the Rock n Roll experience :-(
  5. ........oh and another thing.... Book yourselves again under a different name and I'll dep for you.....I can't play so they'll lose ALL their customers :-)
  6. [quote name='jjay69' timestamp='1331568777' post='1574976'] Thats rather typical of Swansea, it's an angry place, i know, im from there. Saying that it wasnt like that in my day when we played the likes of the Singleton, the Cardiff arms Coach house etc proper music loving pubs, 2 of which are closed now of course.. [/quote] Me too...all you've got to do is put a note up at the Cardiff City Football club that you are holding a free concert there. There won't be any venue after that when you don't show :-)
  7. Need a guy to double as a Bass Stand? I'm your man :-)
  8. Ace Bass..........but watch out the Rats don't chew on it
  9. Thanks for all your advice guys..I've fixed it :-) one thing I didn't check last night was the action..it was far too high, I've lowered all 4 strings and each note each string are spot on now :-). ..... And no fret buzzes either :-)
  10. I can't play any Bass :-)
  11. You'll have to get a P Bass to match your socks Paul 5 :-)
  12. Bump. ... Need help with my E String but my G String is ok :-)
  13. [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1339620881' post='1691754'] Would it be considered hijacking if I were to post a pic of mine? I'm so proud of it [/quote] Nope, any P Bass is good by me..... Any bump on the previous posting of mine though?
  14. Nice, I had to stick it on my card and pay later:-( Really could decide........ It was OW right up to the last minute...... They are in stock in Germany at thormann .... Slightly cheaper but you get hit with about £30 visa charge.... But I wanted it NOW.... Uk suppliers seem to have a bit of difficulty getting them...... I thought that I would need to be a funky dude funkster to go for the OW :-)
  15. I had a noodle tonight but before I started I thought I'd check the intonation, G D were spot on, A a little off and E quite a bit off. I checked it on the 12 harmonic and the open string. After I adjusted it I was finding that most of the notes at the top of the E were very sharp and the notes from the middle spot on my Korg Chromatic tuner..spot on the green light in the middle.... The F note was over +20 on the sharp side. Virtually all of the notes on the D and G were on green, most on the A. I noodled to my Stage 3 songs and afterwards all of th strings were off and I guess I put that down to stretch. I've managed to get the F note to less than +10 by slightly flatting the open E. There is a little triangle either side of 0 on th tuner at about +20. Does this mean that if you can't get perfect intonation anything under +20 closest to 0 is ok? I checked all notes on all strings and they are correct, most hit the green light and any others are slightly sharp. The Bass is far heavier than my Fender Squire P Bass and it's so low it's unreal......I've got a punk pop song to play mostly on frets 1 and 3. I had the volume knob on the Bass set to max and rolled off all the treble.... I had to turn it up almost to full as it was so low... I've only got a 15 w basic fender bass amp. What I've found though is that I've discovered harmonics that aren't even on my harmonic chart...is that possible? All harmonics are crystal clear and easy to find even for me including the half fret ones :-) I know little to nothing about Bass but it seems awesome. ....... A little fret buzz as normal :-) .... The strings don't like sliding but I guess they are brand new,
  16. I'm inspired...there's hope for me yet :-)
  17. Anyone got the bass for this please? It sounds awesome :-)
  18. Yep I'm going to join a band as a bass stand soon :-)
  19. It's candy cola with a maple neck..... I was interested in the Olympic white with the tort pick guard but then I took a look at a few utube videos of the CCOLA :-)
  20. I fancy one of those fancy white pearl ones :-)
  21. An hour ago with my new P Bass ...and a photo of one of my Harleys..its all part of the Rock n Roll image but since I took up Bass in January I've only done about 100 miles
  22. WOW ITS JUST BEAUTIFUL Why do they make it difficult to get that cling film crap off the scratch plate/pick ups? I'll play it tomorrow and it will sound like this: Blues.....Buuuz Bzz Buuuz Bzz Buuuz Bzz Buuuz bzz Punk pop..... B B ZZ ZZ B B B ZZ ZZ Reggae..... Buuzz Buz Buz Buz Buz Buz Funk..... Bzzzzzz Z Z Bzz Rock..... bzzzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzz
