@ped any thoughts? Maybe more experienced people could keep an eye on that forum and guide newbies ?

Maybe we need a beginners corner? where newbies can post newbie questions and not feel embarassed? Maybe find the answer is already there? i’d start with bass covers on YouTube if it were me.

Motion towards, conjugate the verb….

Just use tape - add layers till you get the desired effect

A perverted one, you closet guitard

Hi we have quite a few US members @jd56hawk @Bluewine @StickyDBRmf spring to mind do you have an equivalent of Open Mic nights? That’s where I found people to play with, and bass players are quite rare so no shortage of people offering collaboration

I seem to have been blessed with a bracket? count me in please

@thebrig sounds like you’re sorted … @Dood I remembered from when I sent you the tort plate for your deacon clone P

It has already shimmered into existence like some kind of not-very-good mirage

He’s not done well as PM…couldn’t you have developed him a bit more?

You mistook it for a guitar?

I’m sorry - I was sure it was shown under “tutors available” in the unread topics list

Yes. I was channelling Theresa may, which is not a sentence that I ever thought I might utter

I’m going to find the magic talent tree

Possibly in the wrong place ? @Woodinblack

Isn’t @Dood a local ?

Is that the bit where you practice takeoff? Or the bit where you compete with siblings for a worm? 😛

Pah ! A virtuoso speaks …. I’m still so rubbish that mice run away covering their ears and will even leave their cheese behind in their haste to get out of earshot

My initial answer was No, but actually it’s Yes zoom b2 ampeg, full cab plus some compression

Just post your question here 👍

Why the screwdriver issue? Why not simply change the battery holder for one you can open easily without tools? That’s a whole lot easier Click I’ve had my sire 9 months and I’ve changed batteries once - why make your life hard doing routing ? Sire has these x 2

Picture 2 is disqualified as the title is about “basses” and that clearly isn’t one. puzzled that the cuckoo has so many frets though

that looks unusually clean for anywhere in Nottingham. I’d be expecting to see vomit, and maybe squashed kebab ?

I first picked up a white/white/maple p bass copy in 1990. I carried it all the way from a music shop near Colchester castle (in its box) to the train station (seriously long way) and then by train to Chelmsford, where I once again walked ** … all the way across town to my flat where I played it acoustically for two days before I decided it sounded crap without an amp. More saving up … ho hum … ** there are those with supportive parents who would be thinking “this is 1990, not 1820… surely a parent could…” no. They never encouraged or helped in any way whatsoever (will someone please stop playing that f***ing violin?)

😮‍💨that was a close one …
