The bass player has a single cut six string fretless and he’s ridiculously talented. He told me once he practices 20 hours of every week.

I feel slightly better, and it’s not just the schadenfreude

Not just me… the house band at my local jam night are so far ahead of me that they are in another galaxy, play anything, any key, swap instruments etc they just did “ Africa” and it wrecked. It was like I was up there update… they just did it again.

Welcome - care to say any more ?

I had this when I’d wrapped the string badly around the tuner. Make sure the string ends up at the bottom of the wraps around the tuner, not the top. any particular string or at any particular fret ?

Have you changed string brand or gauge recently?

Nailed it @Dad3353

Try a different cable a different amp a different house Same cable, different house etc

What kind of bass? More things to consider with an active etc ….

Don’t have to be female, just thought the female members might have an insight

Lady who runs our local OM would like a bass, she wants to play The Chain. She’s a good pianist, talented singer and passable acoustic guitard she has fairly small hands and didn’t realise that shorter scale basses were available. Can anyone, particularly female members, suggest a non bank breaking choice ? I thought of mustangs and 32” fender style basses

He could clench, though the card might get a little soggy over time

Rules on page 1, recently updated

Or a new** rat skin loincloth ** freshly clubbed to death

Would not bother Stig - he cannot read

A longer cable is a low-cost consumable alternative, and it isn’t like-for-like

Would this be fighting MacAdder style with a baby in each fist ?

Thanks - I promise to be suitably tight fisted till next year

FTFY

Thanks - yes ampeg combo plus p bass sold to pay a bill (latter a topic on here last year). I had no other combo, amp or cabinet anywhere. Just a bass.

I didn’t know. I started the year unable to buy anything (with church mice offering me a loan) and thus a shoo-in but my employer cruelly inflicted overtime on me in April as I said to my partner, these are generally necessary, it’s not like I’m buying a second bass of questionable necessity. Her thing is that I buy quality items that last and could be shifted easily if truly needed

That emoticon is not a full Pass @neepheid buying something essential when you have zero already should be allowed

An amp and cabinet further my playing because I can hear now myself properly.( I didn’t have either before, just a bass) Therefore I’m golden bought a nice tc 2 x 8 cab

That’s a good answer

I was referring to the alternative choices of switch offered. Alternatively perhaps yours has a fault, do you know anyone you could borrow one off?
