    .. or an Acoustic Image combo. Has similar DB-sepecific functionality to the above and wonderfully transparent sound

    John just bought my Kala U-bass. Had a quick meet-up and chat at Hammersmith tube and I concur with the above that he's a very friendly and honest guy! Would happily do biz again

    Reverse true for me (re fixture gods). Its Arsenal v Chelski and my boy is ultra-keen to go. So I'm afraid i won't be attending this BassBash. Wil have a dig around though and see if there's anything I can lob in to the charity raffle

    It was re-titled Affiliates and hot deals. It's at the bottom of the sub- forums in the Marketplace section

    I bought this a month ago from German BCer Markus (BC name Bender ). Its a quite wonderful sounding bass in excellent condition but I have come to the conclusion that I simply don't enjoy playing its lined, narrow Jazz-type neck as much as the big old, chunky unlined neck on my Takamine B10 fretless. Tone wise, it has a piezo and volume control only and sounds warm and organic, close (but not identical) to a DB. BC'er chris_b has played it and thoroughly enjoyed it - and would probably be the proud owner if he wasn't so set on 5 strings. Looking to get back what I paid, which is £1500. These are rare beasts and this is a good price for one in such good condition. I am in London if you wanted to meet up /collect. There's a ton of pics on Markus' FS thread here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/177556-sold-rob-allen-mb2/page__hl__rob%20allen%20mb2"]http://basschat.co.u...b%20allen%20mb2[/url]

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1341397800' post='1718197'] Get Victor Wooten's Book the Music Lesson, its not technical at all, a pretty easy read and the most frustrating thing is that the 'characters' can kind of be bell-ends. But the stuff in there is pretty good. [/quote] Well I'll try anything. Just ordered it. Cheers Mr F

    Interesting read. I am 48 and have now been playing in bands solidly for 7 years, starting in a death/thrash band, then a punk band, then a voodoo blues band (when I switched to double bass) and now my folk/country/flamenco outfit (still playing double bass). Throughout all of this I have struggled badly with any thing theoretical. I play patterns and learn bass lines by position on the board. I really have very little understanding of what I am playing. Thankfully I am quite good at learning lines and patterns and reasonably dexterous. However, I would dearly love to actualy understand what it is that I am doing on a bass. Reading BassChat does give me some major feelings of inadequacy as other BC'ers reel off theory, whether basic or complex, and I just don't get it. And I have yet to find a book that makes it any simpler.

    Yay! Nice one

    Hey Wayne, those low tension strings you tried on my DB were Innovation Silver Slaps in case this helps you narrow down your search (Golden Slaps are the same, just a different colour). They are £75 a set new http://www.stringexpress.co.uk/dbass.htm but do come up from time to time second-hand on BC

    I had the Presto Lights - nice strings, not dissimilar to Silver Slaps (which I prefer), just slightly high tension. Very rootsy and slappable but with a metal core so they can be used with a mag pickup (unlike SIlver Slaps) I am guessing the Ultra Lights would be near-identical in tension (and maybe even lower tension) than Silver Slaps but I couldn't speak for the tone.

    If I hadn't just bought a MarkBass combo I would be mightily tempted by this as - in retrospect - my old Walkabout was the nicest, valviest sound I have had with a bass

    Cheers AM! Depending on the precise date of recording I may be sorted here due to my good BC friend and all-round musician silddx

    Would help to let people know where you are based. If you are in US, then UK-based buyers need to add just over 20% for import duties on top of price of bass plus shipping. If you are in EU, then of course there is no import duty

    Thats gorgeous!

    Hi all, the band is planning to spend a day in the studio recording a song that has a very Spanish feel and would benefit from a proper quality Spanish/flamenco guitar (as opposed to the guitarist's normal steel-strung acoustic) Would any London-based BC'er be willing in principle to lend such an instrument for a couple of days? I would do my level best to make sure it is well treated and would sling a nice bottle of hooch in by way of thanks Recording date is not fixed yet as we are waiting on availability of a couple of members but it may well be around 20 July, or early August .... if those don't work out it would be after holidays season in mid/late September. So for now just seeing if anyone would in principle be prepared to help out here :-)
