i've been using power slinkys, but I've just ordered some Rotosound roto reds. Will probably try the D'addario's next.

I'm a bassist, but I'm playing guitar in a band - [url="http://www.junkyarddogslondon.co.uk"]www.junkyarddogslondon.co.uk[/url] if you're interested - point is, when I was just a guitarist, the strings I used were 10's and I remember thinking they were [b]thick[/b]. Having been a bassist I now use 11's. I'd use 12's but I often bend the G string and haven't found a pack that doesn't have a wound G. 10's feel so sloppy, and 9's are just unplayable!

Staff meeting...

wrong side of that London for me, but will try and catch you when you play west!

[quote name='tedgilley' timestamp='1335227213' post='1627749'] I was just joking ... tg [/quote] yeah I got that, but i still reckon it's true!

[quote name='tedgilley' timestamp='1335124977' post='1626140'] My practice rig isn't quite this big, but it's also less expensive. [/quote] but I would be willing to bet Geezer actually paid a lot less for that rig, than you did for yours.

i've been wanting to hear one of them. Have you managed to crank it up yet?

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1334771612' post='1621051'] At what point in one`s progression in learning the bass does one become proficient enough to play in a band? I have played in a couple of bands many years ago, but we were all new to the game so we made mistakes together. But the thought of now joining an established band causes a modicum of anxiety. How proficient does one have to be? I am thinking about a joining pub rock affair in the future, if I can find a local one, but I don`t want to waste their time and/or make a total tit of myself. How good are you expected to be on a first audition? Is personallity more important than abillity? If somebody sent me a recording to learn prior to the rehersal, then I could do that, but not sure if I could step up to the mark if I was just dropped in "Sink or Swim" style. Any thoughts? [/quote] I refer the honourable gentleman to the heady days of punk rock, which I feel provide an interesting insight in to this very issue.

Sold Will a book. Happy to add my praise - Splendid chap

I use an amp modeller and could not give a rat's ass about convincing or accurate. All I care about is can I get something usuable that sounds good.

i checked out the GNX before getting my Johnson. I was under the impression it was just for guitarists? Obviously wrong - doh! I know Digitech own Johnson, there may be similarities between the J Station and the GNX?
