[quote name='smartburgher' post='431083' date='Mar 10 2009, 10:36 PM']I love jazz, but I need to learn how to walk, any tips? [/quote] Well, walking bass lines in jazz are pretty rare, as they're usually the right notes played in the right order, whereas jazz is all about playing the wrong notes in the wrong order and getting away with it because of your haircut. Irrespective of your haircut - welcome!

Hell! - are you the same Tom Android that was the prototype for the The Finglonger Hedonism-Bot made at Santa's Death Fortress on Neptune that went on to serve in The Hover-Bot Death Troopers Infantry? Welcome!

[quote name='Hamster' post='431121' date='Mar 10 2009, 11:19 PM']Isn't $300 for shipping a wee bit excessive? IIRC the last bass I had shipped to me from the US&A was $150 by USPS and was here in 6 days.[/quote] I didn't recall correctly - I've just looked it up and it was $115 fully insured. Even the cheapo SX bass I bought was only $63, and that arrived in 8 days

[quote name='clauster' post='430513' date='Mar 10 2009, 02:14 PM']Its the TSA500 that caught my eye. Any amp with a master gain labled from "pub" to "stadium" is my sort of amp [/quote] I was really beginning to like that - until I saw the £1.5k price tag!

Sweet Child of Mine? - not too hard and your fingers move around a bit!

IIRC they are prone to buzzing problems. There's a fix-it on the Talkbass wiki - [url="http://www.talkbass.com/wiki/index.php/Silencing_the_Noise_on_a_Marcus_Miller_Signature_Bass"]http://www.talkbass.com/wiki/index.php/Sil..._Signature_Bass[/url]

If you put your location in your profile, then people with stuff to sell can see if you're nearby - or they can recommend cheap stuff to you in nearby shops.

Isn't there something about drummer content in the T&C?

The EMMA DiscomBOBulator and EHX Q-Tron are very popular. There are some youtube vid demos of both

I would imagine this guy should be able to help? - [url="http://www.howardsmith.co.uk/"]http://www.howardsmith.co.uk/[/url]

The only drawback is the prices that Pixie luthiers charge for set ups

On second thoughts....... "Drummer" and "outstanding" in the same thread - shouldn't this be in the "drunk" thread?

That would be Jason Sutter

Hi Jon - and Welcome!

I know a few people who have used a 36" scale neck and have found the extra stretch involved to have given them tendon trouble. Of course it's cumulative, but see if you can play a 36" scale in a shop for 30mins or so to see if you can cope before you splash the cash.
