    Also interested in trades for Tone Hammer 350, Mesa Walkabout, Jazz or Precision basses.

    Everyone learns differently, for me it was a case of putting in the hours when I started with functions bands. I joined an established band so had 50 odd songs to learn ASAP. I practiced for hours each night, listened to the songs I had to learn non stop too. I don't think there is a way of shortcutting it. Whatever method you like, be it YouTube, playing, listening, it does take time. Unless the original bass line is vital to the track I often wrote my own lines or made variations too. Maybe that helped me remember parts as they were a bit more 'me'. Edit, also, on your setlist writing the key signature or dots for the first phrase helped jog my memory. It's hard to recall simple parts sometimes when you've just learned 50 songs in 2 weeks!

    I've got a bit of catching up to do here, a job for this afternoon!

    I think the poster above is refering to the vocal doubling the main bass line?

    I'd love a PF500, wouldn't buy one as my only amp though, after all the stories of them failing.

    If someone would kindly buy my Little Mark 3, i'd love this!!

    I'd be interested to try one, I have a Chapman guitar and it's the worst guitar I've ever owned but quite a long shot.

    I reckon it is Jamareo Artis too - the fills sound like the sort of thing he is in to when you see them live. I had assumed the vocal was just a sampled vocal doubling the bassline. Whatever it is, it sounds ace.

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1420468847' post='2649629'] Never had any problems with Thomann - I've had more problems with the UK based companies than I have with Thomann (which is zero). What's this about Germans and efficiency? [/quote] Same here.

    Bump.

    Could have the Toilet Seat Bass for only 10k more... But, seriously, what a beautiful piece of Fender history.

    Are you interested in trades? I've got a Markbass Little Mark 3 for sale here on BC.

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1420302337' post='2647817'] Markbass Little Mark 2 or 3 would do that, sound nice and warm... [/quote] Agreed. (Not that I'm selling one, or anything...)

    Hi All, I have decided to sell my Little Mark 3. It is a 2010 model that i have owned since new. It didn't get a great deal of use originally as the only band i was in was an originals outfit and we were really only playing gigs with supplied backline! However, it has had weekly use over the last couple of years and has been faultless. It is of course made in Italy - and may be class A/B given it's age, rather than class D, but don't quote me on that! It is standard stuff really, lovely clean but warm tone that has worked well with every cab i have used it with. It is in very good condition, there are no dents or noticeable marks when the amp is sitting atop a cab; the only thing worth mentioning is that there are a couple of scratches to the paint on the bottom of the amp. This came from the shop i bought it from like it, and without the scratches the amp would be mint condition - it could easily be touched up, don't know why i've never thought to do so...! In the photos i have pictured these scratches to show it is just to the paint and there is not a single dent or gouge to the chassis. I am only looking to sell as i fancy a change,even though i know i will miss this great amp, so with that in mind i am open to trade offers for other amps. Ideally a Tone Hammer 500, as that is what the cash would go towards. I am on the Isle of Wight, so collection available from here, Southampton, Portsmouth or Lymington. £350 including UK delivery.

    It does take getting used to and lots of it is trial and error. One of the best guitarists i know holds his plectrum in such a weird unconventional manner. Try different picks too, shapes, sizes and flex. I anchor my pinky somewhere on the guitar/bass when playing the higher strings and like you, lightly palm mute when playing the lower strings - which might be worth trying if you are finding pick playing difficult standing up as it would give you a bit more stability.

    Definitely seperately! Unless you're holding an open audition it'd just be awkward. If they are a front man/woman then they should be able to take centre stage. Especially for functions bands, they should be self aware and confident enough to adapt to the situation and act appropriately as required for the gig. Of course, ability, versatility and likeability are vital! Good luck!

    [quote name='taurus1' timestamp='1420218008' post='2646799'] Thanks for the info M@23,a slipped disc last weekend is steering me towards considering a pair of 8ohm Markbass [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3]Standard 104HR's.[/size][/font][/color] [/quote] They'll be great. Really nice cabs, just one is plenty capable. Two will be brilliant. Hope your back heals soon too mate. Not nice.

    [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1420143956' post='2646131'] Another vote for Olympic white and tort... Here's my Limelight :-) [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/63696245@N07/14784181985/][/url] [/quote] Gets my vote. Carries the relic vibe really nicely.
