I love my BC212s. Having them horizontal makes them MUCH bassier though. You might find a better mix if you stack them vertically.

I probably couldn't remember it now if I tried either, it's been a couple of years since I've played it.

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1406033074' post='2507662'] Makes me feel lazy that comment, I just begin each line with the E-D-E-D motif and riff the rest! Closest I ever get to a bass solo!! [/quote] I could never improvise anything worthwhile, so I learnt it note for note from the record by ear.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1406018061' post='2507457'] The Seeker - The Who Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz Both a bit more complex than root note plodders! [/quote] The bassline under the solo in Are You Gonna Go My Way is epic, took me ages to get that right when I used to play it in the old band.

I hate it, but it's a usually a huge crowd pleaser with an interesting bass line up the dusty end in the verses: I predict a riot by the Kaiser Chiefs. Also, Cochise by Audioslave is alright if your singer can manage it. Bassline in White Room by Cream is not challenging, but still fun to play.

I use these, they're grrrrr-eat! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pairs-Howard-Leight-Laser-Plugs/dp/B0007XJOLG

We got asked by a bar to play 10 until 2 with a 30 minute break for £200. He was politely declined. Standard pub gigs that I do are 9 (sometimes 9:15, maybe 9:30) until 11:30 or 12. Usually with a half hour break.

I'm the same, I don't think I would ever manage to wear one out. Shame the little tortoise wears off so easily though! My .88's wear down a bit strangely. I guess I must pick at a funny angle, if you look at the plectrum with the point downwards, there's more wear on the left hand edge underneath, and on the right hand edge on the top, if that makes sense?

I'm a Dunlop Tortex .88 mm man. Partly because green is my favourite colour.

....to P loved, by anyone

I use one of these with my G30 and it's ideal (with a right angle jack lead), although I have a leather strap with the thin adjuster part that goes through the holes, i think it works with other straps up to 2 inches thick. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Levys-MM4-Wireless-Receiver-Holder/dp/B00074B67A

I think I would have preferred a scrolling notation score with a bouncing dot or something, this seems a bit forced and i feel like some of the intervals are stretched or squished weirdly... Don't get me wrong, it's still really cool. Mister Jamerson is the best.

I've had luck with partysounds.co.uk in the past, but I think it's declined recently

Could the Zoom B3 be another option to consider? It's got a DI built in,

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1405004507' post='2497820'] Ideal for a Bassist in a Pink Floyd cover band...... [/quote] This one took me a while...!

[quote name='marlborored' timestamp='1404984601' post='2497500'] QOTSA always go down well, we do "no one knows" which is a great song as well as some arctic monkeys stuff, dancing shoes, crying lightning etc [/quote] What key do you do No One Knows in?

I'm well chuffed with this. My first time building a bass from scratch! It arrived promptly in the post, well packaged in airtight bags (to prevent moisture entering the components on the plane journey over I suppose?) It even came with a free stand! Took me all of 45 minutes to assemble, I thought that was pretty impressive! Although, I'm not too keen on the colour of the sunburst or the tortoiseshell. Can't seem to get a tune out of the thing either... Anyway, these things are pointless without pics! here: [url="http://i.imgur.com/SjlzHUA.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/SjlzHUA.jpg[/url] [url="http://i.imgur.com/H1LgmBX.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/H1LgmBX.jpg[/url]

I've always wondered that too. It it another case of "maple fretboard sounds brighter than rosewood" or does a brass nut sound different to a bone nut or a graphite nut? Or is it about something other than sound?

Have had another look, save yourself a couple of quid if you don't want "decorative stitching"! http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/accessories-c2/straps-c54/levys-m1-brn-2-5-leather-guitar-strap-brown-p7302

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1404812279' post='2495860'] They aren't short enough for me... the short one is still too long, I have five of them sitting around not doing anything if anyone wants one? I bought a load for fender style basses that I no longer own. I use comfort ones now. [/quote] What colour are the ones you have, and how much do you want for one?

Out of those three, I would say go for the £18 third one if it has a grippy backing. The Mono example was just to show that a top of the line strap will only cost £35.
