Take it back and discuss it with them, I would advise

The Twat's Twat

I can't see why it would hurt

i dislike Bonio intensely but 30+ years of being a frontman (see also Jim Kerr etc) to millions of people hanging on your every word probably turn you out like that. I doubt he started that way. I can't deny his lyrical ability and vocal range.

He is very helpful

I have a jap made one- neck that bit fatter than your jazz (too thin for me too) but not too fat

I've not found anything to beat my bass doc precision. It's now looking a bit beaten up but that's part of its charm

Try googling " newtone strings"

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1446461021' post='2899446'] All good stuff, thank you all. So am I right in thinking I don't need to supply a bass (other than for my own use) ? Les [/quote] I always take mine, and since I'm the only bass player it's not been an issue. Usually back line is just a zoom pedal into a PA so damage not a problem

Back up the punters who've come solo Mentor people a little Step aside for another possibly newbie bassist

Flash and a dab of fairy liquid works

Just learned "place your hands" and "groove is In the heart" which are quite fun

There's no doubt there are a few ladies out there who could wear more when recording, I think all the ones I have watched have been at least as talented as male uploaders so I don't think it's fair to say that they are advertising in any way, Some seem embarrassed like Marta but not many male uploaders give a confidently delivered five minute spiel either Fair play to them, I say

Where is the shop?

I did an om night (only bass player) and I didn't need effects or high volume. The guitarist used a Telecaster into a marshal and we still were quieter than the twelve minute blues scale fest served up by the preceding 21 year self styled "guitar hero" - even though it was church I overheard the C word being used about him

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1356809289' post='1913925'] I don't see how anyone could rate Adan Clayton as a poor bass player. OK he's not a soloist or slapper, but he's probably one of the most melodic bassists out there. [/quote] I've heard him slap on a few songs, also fretless on one song

I've owned one, its a classic 50s Top bass but mex not USA
