i can muddle through kinda bad. but ill manage or improvise.

Looked at the framus and weighing up the 400 mile journey to get it. but ill see when the payslip arrives this month.might have to pass on i. Aye getting new strings later this month, tutor next week. I cant picture me Arco'in up...i prefer to get my fingers in , so dont have to worry too much about Rosin and bows I got the Rufus Reid book but i really gotta work on my reading.

Nice, take it your enjoying it My wife was gobsmacked when i told her how much my new strings are going to be im glad she didnt see how much the Double bass I was looking at was going to cost

Doone

oh now you sound like my wife.... I think ill head for the spiros although the pricetag might turn me to the silvers

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1357489683' post='1923354'] I am swaying to the Spiros then you know, anyone got a set going nice and cheap Where is the cheapest place if I decide to bite the bullet and buy a fresh set? 2 months off the council tax coming up, thats a carbon bow, pot of rosin and a set of spiros if you ask me! [/quote] Im bouncing between Spiro mettel or Super silvers. only problem about the internet is the amount of options and information you can access so very readily. Makes choosing a difficult one.

quite a few people i asked on BC recommended Spiro mediums and due to the cost of a set, i can only get one set every coupla months. Oh gawd imma have to get a cheeper hobby....like hell

Cheers technique is prolly a big one for myself, just starting out N'all. And lack of strength in 4th finger oh and factory spec strings (to change soon).

Any luck with the Buzzing E string TheRev? Starting to get the same problem with the Stagg so im eyeballing the forums, before i head out for more professional help.

Unfortunately im listening to Radio 1, at work in the workshop at 0600.

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1355939093' post='1904837'] Ha!! You're all sitting there, convincing yourselves that the EUB makes sense cos you haven't got a big enough room/flat/house/wife [/quote] what ya trying to say mate...my wife is fine thank you but ive already been eyeballing strings and Pre-loved Double basses..bassi..bass. you know what i mean.

Well havent play a guitar in over 10 years and forgot more than i learned....if thats possible. so Novice means really dont know much. though that might seem a bad thing its not im more like a clean carpet you can track muddy boots on Been making progress without a tutor (there aint many in or around Aberdeen) due to the wonders of the tinterweb, and some books. Yeah i know what you mean about the size of a Double bass, My flat aint exactly designed with anything more than Food telly and sleep in mind, And the Stagg stands 18 inches taller than my wife so she is probably intimidated by it.

Had my Stagg EUB for 4 weeks and loving it, Mind you for a musical novice any note which i make that comes out in tune is good even this short into learning i wish i had of just paid a wee bitty extra and brought a real Double bass...maybe next year. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1355935061' post='1904735'] Its still not here! I bet its going to spend the night in a van somewhere for no reason [/quote] know the feeling mate mine wasnt delivered until about 20 minutes before last drop off so i was crawling the walls. This forum is very friendly and if you ask a question there is generally a plethora of answers in a short time and people can be messaged and can either answer you or put you onto someone who knows. Love the community here.

That was the opposite to what the title suggests Much likes mate.

There is always a story to stuff at Cashies, Some good some bad

I thought that at the time of posting and undoubtedly my wife will have similar thoughs, as i spend more time with the EUB than her. Plus who has never thought about doing that to someones Cycle, PC or gym equipment. Plus in this world gotta have a sense of humour.

No its not my Bass infact its on the other side of the world never seen a Double bass used in such a fashion before.
