  1. Wouldn't part with this for the world . Plays lovely ,Nice tone,Great Fingerboard rounded so makes it easier to rake the strings form the G string upwards. And all this for £399 Squid. And the Build quality is better than my Mex Fender which is £300 more . You just can't go wrong with these for the price.
  2. I also do this mainly because after a while i get bored with the tone so i change them and that's maybe every couple of Months.never had one break tough. What i do is when i first fit them i pre stretch them just by pulling up each String in the middle and giving it a bit of a tug. I do though remember Breaking a string when i was tuning a Bass up or Miss tuning a Bass up.
  3. My Nemesis is Sir Duke by Stevie Blunder a I like to call him simply because when I try to play it I always make a Blunder. My other Nemesis is PEG by Steely D,I will never get that Slap Piece off if i live to be 90.
  4. Anyone used them. https://attakpik.com/?fbc_id=120201833501790497&fbclid=IwAR0Hl3K2U_jNAlss_RMLSGWmOAnCVG9Lj6A3QTn7I4q-OJvVRTCNh46d9IM&h_ad_id=120201833501810497
  5. Killing me Softly by Roberta Flack what a performance an enormous hit back in 1972,but the Fugees version or any other version come to that just does not do it for me.it's Great because it's just that Great .
  6. Same here sadly.
  7. Black Friday deals are a Misnomer,should be Black Friday Rip offs
  8. Any of the padded Neoprene 3 inch wide Bass Straps are the best,tried all the rest.
  9. Agreed that four finger per fret thing is for the Purists. IMO
  10. I'm the opposite.
  11. Yes i'm long sighted but the funny thing is according to the optician i am only long sighted from about two feet away from the fretboard.Recently i have been struggling to see the Fretboard. So Compensating for that i have been playing by Muscle Memory,my playing is suffering i think. So i am thinking of trying Contacts and was wondering if anyone else has this problem ,or is it only me.Not the worse thing in the world to happen i know but it is starting to annoy me now.Or should i just concede that i'm an old git now and carry on regardless.
  12. Does anyone wear Contact whilst playing,but wears normal Glasses when not. I wear Glasses when i'm playing all the time,but i'm thinking of contacts when playing in the band Anyone?
  13. Thank you i will have a Look.
  14. Great thank you for posting,some good info here.I have just purchased this, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08VR8YCYT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details,hopefully this will do the business ,just not sure what programme to use it with.I have just downloaded the Reaper DAW. I could do with a step by step video of how to do this as i'm not that techy .
  15. I have three Bass Guitars ATM ,A Yamaha BB424x,a Sire V4 Marcus Miller Jazz with a Roasted neck in that lovely Green Colour(the best by far) and A Fender Mex P with Fender 1963 vintage p/ups and i can honestly say that most players would Play and sound better with all of these than I will ever will do.
  16. Is this really free ?where is the catch.
  17. Hi all,i am looking at starting to film myself playing Bass on Youtube Tracks or the like.Mainly to identify my playing techniques and hopefully trying to Iron out my bad habits and mistakes. I have a Scarlett 212 mk3 already which i have used mainly to play through with my headphones to Youtube Tracks so that's covered i suppose . How do other people do this? ,any inputs to a recording newbie would be great thanks all.
  18. Cheers for that.
  19. Or is it the BB3000S which i think was the Active version.
  20. Anyone one know which model of Yamaha BB Bass is being played here on this song? Sorry forgot to post the Video i was in a rush to go out.
  21. Try 27 ,38 years have passed since ,how i have no idea.
  22. That was me as well especially the Dire Straits, Oh and i had another tape that i played to death ,,, Phil Collins...No Jacket Required in my MK2 VW Golf GTi.
  23. How dare you,what about Paper Lace.😂
  24. Flats much quieter overall ,so better for beginners and playing at home IMHO.
  25. That's me as well could be an Age thing,or at least that's what i keep telling myself.
