I know I'm just learning this bass line - but it ain't nothing like this from this 'expert' - unless I'm missing something?

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='384402' date='Jan 18 2009, 09:44 PM']my spare Jazz bass carries a set of original Fender strings for which I still have the packet marked £8/15 shillings -a hell of a price to pay back then - anyone care to work out the amount that equates to in today's money?[/quote] Welcome to the forums! - I work it out at around £129.23 in today's money!

If I had that many pedals on a board I'd have to learn to tap dance whilst playing!

Are you having a problem with this way of connecting it?

Damn! - too late to partake in this investigation, I'll buy the doughnuts for the BassChat BentBass PoliceSquad

Come clean Stuart - I just know you have this in the pipeline. I'll buy one now!

Hi I've got quite a few mates in NZ who've deserted this sinking ship called the UK! Welcome!

Hi Martin The CS-3 has a very good compressing effect but it's a bit too noisy for me. You do loose some low end running a bass through it as it's circuit is designed for the higher register of a guitar.

Finishes like that usually leave me a bit cold - but that is really stunning :wub:

Thanks guys I usually learn by ear but I'm usually surprised by something in the tab that I've never noticed while listening - that's why I'm re-learning notation!

Can anyone point me towards an accurate tab for this song? - I've got the basic structure but I think there's a lot I'm missing. I'm learning notation again as a new year's resolution but I'm not there yet!! Ta

Cheers guys - I've just dropped them an e-mail.

It's got to be #1 - As it came out of the factory.

A bit of work with a power sander and drag it behind a car for a few miles and you have a relic'ed 'Roadworn' 6 stringer.

As this is purely for academic research please send me the lot to academically research too!

You should be able to make a paper template up and then get a blank sheet to make one from your fave colour/finish. [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Pickguards/Blank_Pickguard_Sheets"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Pickguar...ickguard_Sheets[/url]

Some fine basses there - I feel your pain!

I don't think bleach will touch it because the orange dye is under a coat of laquer. I sanded my SX neck down to the wood and then just put a coat of clear laquer on top of the natural wood. It looks much better.
