1) I vary my pick attack quite a lot, depending on the dynamics of the song. I'm predominantly a finger player now, but played with a pick for over twenty years. 2) Favourite plectrums are Dunlop Ultex Tri's in 0.88mm. They seem to give the perfect feel, attack and don't seem to want to slip, no matter how sweaty a gig gets. 3) I used to grip plectrums hard, almost white knuckle. That was mainly because i didn't want to lose them, and i used to play really heavy handed. Nowadays, my grip is alot lighter, and i can afford plectrums!!!! 4) When playing pick stylee, my picking hand is pretty much back by the bridge, with the heel and side of the hand resting on the strings. Doesn't seem to mute the strings too much though. Most of my damping/muting is done with my fretting hand when playing with a pick. Finger style, there's more of a mix of picking/fretting hand when muting. Nige

Don't even remotely know if this is accurate............... [url="http://www.bassmasta.net/p/presley%2C_elvis/138205.html"]http://www.bassmasta.net/p/presley%2C_elvis/138205.html[/url]

Welcome

Your best bet is to send UMPH a PM and ask if he can measure his.

I'm ace, me.

My oldest, in the womb was subjected to Slayer, and early Metallica by me, and Queen and Blondie by her mum. Two weeks before she was born we saw Blondie at the NEC on their comeback tour. Funnily enough, Molly still likes Slayer, but not Queen!!!

I sing lead on some songs with a couple of my bands.

La Villa Strangiato-Rush Need Somebody to Love/White Rabbit-Jefferson Airplane.

Have a look at the Gator Pedal tote..... Might still be too big!!!

The Mike Lull is a high standard bass, like Sadowsky, or maybe Overwater. Never played on the last one, but I reckon that's a good comparison. If you have the chance to try the ML, it is just a matter of time... Cheers![/quote] Ron... that's just my avatar!!!! Nige

Me please......... will drop a pm

I'm in Brum... not much help either, but.....

Welcome

Stingrays do indeed sound ace. I must admit, it takes a while to get back into playing them after using another bass for a while!!! Enjoy your visits here....

Link to stuff recorded about a month ago. Tracks 1-4 are mine . [url="http://www.heartbreakerpaulrodgerstribute.co.uk/index.php/music-vault.html"]http://www.heartbreakerpaulrodgerstribute....usic-vault.html[/url] No really early stuff as it was all on cassette, very early 80's stuff. Might be able to find some 90's stuff though.

Onwards and upwards, eh?
