Hi Tony I would say going second hand will get you something more than good enough to work out if 5 strings is for you or not and I would recommend something from the for sale section of this forum where I have had some cracking basses including my first fiver (and many others). If you can get something local to you then try it out first. Certainly try some different string spacings and neck profiles, with five strings to stretch across you may want to go for a slimmer neck profile than what you are currently used to on a four but this is not necessarily so, it will depend on how you want to play on the fiver. As for brands well it is hard to touch the Ibanez offerings for bang for your buck, but I would say that Yamaha are certainly worth looking at as well. Good luck

Sounds mighty fine, Witney is just down the road but I have the kids tonight so no evening pass for me...Have a great gig.

Wow, it was already good, now its even better. Result.

The drum CD or the Bass or both?

Thanks Mark

I have a few Piezo related questions. I would like to use a piezo set up in my next home build so as a way of getting some experience with things piezo I am thinking of modifying one of my previous home builds to take a piezo transduced under the bridge. This is a 5 string two part bridge/end plate set up rather like the warwick bridges and is mounted on a solid bodied bass. So does anyone know if it possible to get a piezo system under this type of bridge? Can it be made to work or does it need to be under a more acoustic friendly design of bridge. Is the bridge the best place to put a piezo sensor. What sort of circuit is requited to convert the output to something that can go to a standard base amp. What brands/manufactures are worth looking for this sort of application. All help appreciated. Peter

Great tutorial looking forward to part two

For anyone how has ever wondered why music can make us feel such strong emotions might find this interesting. It is a free symposium in Oxford this saturday afternoon [attachment=73145:MusicSym...m2011red.pdf]

How about 'vintage silky pop rock!'

A big fat yes to that. Scott's material is really good.

Great vid and just what I needed to get my practice regime back on track. Thanks.

MarlowDK was on you tube but now has a separate site. He has some good clear explanations and examples [url="http://playbassnow.com/category/bass-lick-of-the-day/"]http://playbassnow.com/category/bass-lick-of-the-day/[/url]
