    Many Thanks.

    Been asked for some sound examples of the bass, added a few files from a live performance. Not the best recording and only the one sound setting used but will give some idea of what bass sounds like.

    And?

    It is an old thread for a great bassline. The playalong files can be found here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/158406-sight-reading-playalong-practice-files-now-with-fast-download/"]http://basschat.co.u...-fast-download/[/url] no TAB I'm afraid, don't bother with anything over 600 years old which has got worse not better since it was first invented. I prefer to stick with more modern ways of writing music, only 300 or so years old. The later allows you to play not only tunes you know but also tunes you don't, how clever is that?

    I am shocked and stunned. Cannot beleive this is still here (idiots). A good price for a great bass. Over £600.00 off the cost of a new one!

    Just this afternoon I replaced the neck on my MM Stingray with a Status neck, now sooooo much nicer than the original. Have a bump on me.

    Started to delete files to enable new files to be uploaded. Started to do this after first posting the PDF for Music For Chameleons. Added New York Minute by Don Henley What I Am by Eddie Brickell And The New Bohemians Music For Chameleons by Gary Numan

    [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1324334055' post='1473245'] As others have said, I keep my ring and pinkie fingers tucked in towards the palm, where they are out of the way. I'd recommend that you practice alternating your index and middle fingers. Practice VERY SLOWLY at first, paying close attention to keeping the ring and pinkie relaxed and tucked in towards the palm. Spend five to ten minutes doing this exercise as part of your practice routine. At first, your ring and pinkie fingers probably wont do what you want, but with a little time, patience and perseverance they will learn what is expected of them. While we are on the subject of R/H technique, I hope you dont mind my giving you some extra advice. I notice that you rest your thumb on the pick up. Granted, a lot of bassists do so, but it can lead to wrist or hand problems at a later time, because the wrist is at an awkward angle. You may like to check out the link below.

Bottom right is one called Anthony Jackson bass solo, my hero, only young in this and playing a 4 string, xmas has just come early for me.

    I think you will find anyone with half a brain would die for this. It's a shame you don't want a Fender though.

    Sounds good but I already have an Ashdown Classic Klystron.

    [color=#FF0000][size=5][b]Gone.[/b][/size][/color] Looking for [s]£900.00 [/s][b]£850.00[/b]. Open to offers of course, buyer pays for postage Up for grabs a [color=#FF0000]Fender[/color] [color=#FF0000]American[/color] [color=#FF0000]Deluxe[/color] [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] Bass [color=#FF0000]5[/color] String 2009 model. Great all round bass, good for finger style and slap etc. Full range of sounds with the awesome dual-coil Samarium Cobalt Noiseless [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] pickups. Owned bass from new about 2 years ago. Hardly gigged Couple of very light belt buckle marks on rear of body. Includes original [color=#FF0000]Fender[/color] case. Have made a few adjustments, but totally changeable to original in about [color=#FF0000]5[/color] minutes. Added stick on block markers and neck side LED's. This is the black wire on neck. (On/Off switch has fallen off needs double sided tape to stick back on, but works fine) As I say no permanent alterations made to bass. Have included a stock image with pictures, to show how bass looks without my extras. This is the picture with the white background. Select alder body Graphite-reinforced maple neck with modern C shape and a satin polyurethane finish Rosewood fingerboard 9-1/2" radius 22 medium-jumbo frets Chrome-plated hardware [b]String Spacing adjustable at bridge See Image.[/b] 9mm at Nut.

Lite-Bass tuners with vintage cloverleaf keys 2 dual-coil Samarium Cobalt Noiseless [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] pickups Master volume and pan pot for pickup switching 3-band active EQ 18 volt Pre-Amp Welcome to come and try. Great to play and great classic [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] sounds and so much more. Bass only ever been played for a short contract on a cruise ship, the sound engineers loved mixing my sound far more than the 4 string Wal I started the contract with (I needed 5 strings for the gig).

    Made Corrections to Come Back And Stay - Paul Young Added Everytime You Go Away - Paul Young Over 2,500 views and only a few comments. Would be nice to receive some feed back even if it was to point out any mistakes. My Dropbox is now full, if I had more space have more files plus would post the PDF's. Anybody willing to help?
  19. wal4string
    Just PM'd you mate.
  20. wal4string
    Just withdrawn my post so have another bump for such a fine bass.
  21. wal4string
    Final bump at this price before I remove until the New Year
  22. wal4string
    Email sent.
  23. wal4string
    Thought it only fair I should return the bump you gave me. I will be removing my post in a couple of days, fingers crossed you have more luck than me.
  24. wal4string
    Thumbs up Scott.
  25. wal4string
    It seems that some folks dont know the meaning of Final. To that end I will from now on ignore any PM's which ask me to drop my price below my [i][u][b]Final[/b][/u][/i] asking Price of £700.00 plus postage. I know it is the season of good will but I am not prepared to lesson the value of such a fine example of a MM any more, not even as much as 1p. If I need to repost bass in the New Year I will be raising my asking price back to its original.
