[quote name='Johnny Wishbone' timestamp='1475150776' post='3143459'] It's arrived! Wooo! [/quote] the box is tiny isn't it?

The major scale, but learn it all over the neck. Once you know that, you've got all the modes. For example if you learn the C major scale, use the same fingering pattern, but start and finish on D, hey presto you're playing a Dorian mode. Same fingering pattern but start (and finish) on A, hey presto you're playing an Aeolian mode - or natural minor scale. Lots of fun to had discovering the others...

[quote name='grandad' timestamp='1474963843' post='3141777'] I therefore proclaim, NO BERT WEEDON - NO PUNK! [/quote] 'Play in a day with Bert Weedon'. Is this not espousing the quintessential punk music ethic?

Mine arrived today too! It was waiting for me when I got in from work. Took it to band practice and it works, and kept me in tune with the rest of the band. Definitely not built like a tank (etc) but I'll just look after it. Yup £2 very well spent [size=4] [/size]

Update from Jon: The lacquer work took a bit of doing but is all built up, it required a quick level and then a final coat to smooth things out. He built up the coats with gloss in the end, its actually clearer then the satin (for some reason as its the same stuff but with an additive to make it satin) so that helped to maintain the white look, rather than it starting to go ‘vintage’ looking.

£115 from Amazon. It was the only place I could find who had them in stock!

I've bitten the bullet and ordered one. I play through a modelling amp, or digital multi fx through an amp, so I'll let you know how it performs.

This seems to be his touring set up

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1473548167' post='3131193'] Latency figures aren't great again though I see. [/quote] Paul Guerin is using one in The Quireboys, I asked him what it was like as the latency figures aren't great, he said "[color=#000000][font=Roboto,]it's the bollix". [/font][/color]

To any who couldn't make it, I'm sorry but this one was not the one to miss. To quote one of our members stateside: You had to be there!

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1474644970' post='3139568'] that bass was designed well before slapping [/quote] People were slapping their DB's before the 1950's

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1474540418' post='3138639'] Anyone got flats on a Flea yet ? [/quote] Should it have flats though? It's a Flea signature model, and what with Flea being known for slapping, I'm guessing that was a factor in its design. So flats on a slap machine?
