So when it disappears off the screen after a day or so, you have to post another .

I just got a mayones 6 string in a trade, I gotta say it's an amazing instrument !

I'd consider Yamaha and ibanez maybe. Definitely buy used though.

Well done .

Where have you got into ?

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1367144802' post='2061604'] Your in the wrong thread mate. This is for the most beautiful bass! [/quote] What are those ? The 2nd one days looks cool !

You really need to try a few out, not just one but a few . I have 3, and they're all different, each has different string spacing and neck width etc. Yamaha's are really nice, I can't comment on the TRB1006 models, I've never played one, but I have a very early TRB6P model that's a beautiful instrument, but it does have a very wide neck and wide string spacing that some people would struggle with. My Modulus has narrow string spacing and a beautiful slim neck, as does my Mayones. You also need to consider technique, it's a different beast to a 5 string, and totally different to a 4 string, though there is a 4 string there, just hiding between the 2 new strings .

I got an intellitouch PT10, it cost about £10 from Amazon. I believe Michael Manring uses them, he has some very weird tunings, so if it's good enough for him . Tracks my low B extremely well. Also changes colour to green when you're in tune.

Very envious

Ebony fretboard ? What are the pickups and electronics like ? I can imagine this is going to be similar quality to the USA basses. I'd really like a Tobias or one of his current basses.

Nice . I tried a Tobias Toby Pro 6 once, that was nice, but I should imagine this would be in a different league, being Japanese and the Toby Pro's being Korean. Congratulations on a nice bass !

Sounds cool, I've always liked the look of Tobias basses.

It's the same on here though. I recently advertised a couple of basses for trade, you wouldn't believe the low priced basses I was offered, despite my requirements being quite specifically stated in the adverts.

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1387114929' post='2308283'] I always use AbeBooks for second hand books. [url="http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=Modern+Arranging+technique"]http://www.abebooks....nging+technique[/url] A lot of the shops are US based but you usually get a decent price. [/quote] That's brilliant, thanks !

There's a specific textbook that's been recommended to me. There's one on Amazon for over £60, which is too expensive for me. Anyone know a good site for secondhand books, or a good shop ? It's this one by the way [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Modern-arranging-technique-comprehensive-orchestration/dp/B0007DU0SM/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387114264&sr=1-2&keywords=modern+arranging+technique"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Modern-arranging-technique-comprehensive-orchestration/dp/B0007DU0SM/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387114264&sr=1-2&keywords=modern+arranging+technique[/url]

From my experience of auditioning to get into uni, and from doing exams, the tutor knows exactly what you're up against, and isn't expecting you to be the next Jimmy Haslip or Tom Kennedy. Just put your ideas across is a coherent manner, without shooting from one to another in a kind of zigzag pathway. I do get nervous at auditions and in exams, but they see past that, they wouldn't be in their posts otherwise.

Id say the original is in G. G/Bm/D/Dsus4 or something like that anyway for the verse.

I think there's confusion between sockets and plugs going on

I like side dots, I played a Warwick a few years ago that had dots on the side where the frets would be, it was a dream to play and the dots were more visible than lines would've been. I'm getting a new fret less after Christmas and want that unlined but with side dots.
