Ouch! (both for the condition of the bass, and the price paid for it!)

[quote name='Brother Jones' post='416778' date='Feb 22 2009, 06:14 PM']I think he's a bit overrated tbh. There are much, much better bassists on YouTube. Also - his facepulling and 'funky guy' persona is getting a bit stupid tbh.[/quote] -1 tbh

I've pretty sure I've seen him playing with John Etheridge a few times - superb feel and playing.

You should learn notation, but to begin with just use tab to play the tunes you want to play - and enjoy learning!

"I buy new strings rather than cleaning and re-using" - because nowadays, I can afford it.

You'll find plenty to tempt you in the for sale forums - Welcome!

He's a cool guy, and the source of many excellent videos!

Very nice Steve!

Thank you.[/quote] It depends on what you mean by affordable? - A cheap no-name cable you can find on ebay, but can you afford for it to go wrong after a few connections/disconnections? Go with OBBM - affordable quality

As OHM says - Laklands are fantastic basses, there must be someone nearby with one you can have a doodle with?

There's some nice basses knocking around at the moment - and that's very nice! :wub:

[quote name='beerdragon' post='416193' date='Feb 21 2009, 03:25 PM']This one looks kind of butchered, expensive though. [url="http://www.bunker-guitars.com/bass.html"]http://www.bunker-guitars.com/bass.html[/url][/quote] Not my cup of Tetleys.

Cham is a great, straightforward and communicative guy to deal with - enjoy the bass!

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='416064' date='Feb 21 2009, 11:42 AM']Imagine my joy this morning when BGM drops through the letter box to find they're doing a Motown article and bassline transcription.Of all the great and wonderful Jamerson lines they could/should have done they pick "your precious love". WTF !!![/quote] That's exactly what I was thinking! - Nice line though

That's what I like - a 'Can Do!' attitude - well done Alex for sorting it out

I can't really understand how they left the factory like this - it's such a simple thing to get right the first time round?

I'm really really really really gassing (Gastronomic Acquisition Syndrome) for this right now!!! You know when you can almost taste just what you want but haven't got!!!

If anyone has an accurate tab of Heatwave the way Mr Babbitt plays it then I for one would be very very happy to have it!
