PauBass

Thank you very much guys. The seller is in Bangor, sorry I thought it was Belfast city. Any of you around that area?

I'm wondering if there's anyone here on the forum that is from Belfast and that is ready to help me out in a purchase I want to make. Basically I've seen a bit of gear on Gumtree I'd like to buy but it's quite expensive and I have my doubts, I don't like the idea of sending the money to the seller with no guarantee. If possible I'd need someone to check the item out and buy it for me, with my monies of course, please...I'd really appreciate it. Anyway, if anyone is up for it, please, get in touch. Thanks!

Yes, please. Are you the one with Meshell's pic? Friend Request sent.

One of my faves, this guy's an awesome bassist and he holds some serious groove even through the fast sections: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zqV2ymf4-k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zqV2ymf4-k[/url][/quote] Surprise someone here knows about Fernando Lamadrid, he's a very talented Spanish bass player, he was on this year's Todobajos Bass Day in Madrid and was the winner of the best up & coming Spanish bass player...check out his other videos.

Loving this band at the moment, definitely have a listen to [b]Jurassik Funk[/b], highly recommended! [url="http://www.jurassik-funk.com/"]http://www.jurassik-funk.com/[/url]

[quote name='Bucket Head' post='1076927' date='Jan 3 2011, 11:28 PM']alrite guys, just wondering what size rack case is the right one for a ampeg 4 pro. i think its the 4u rack case? thanks[/quote] The amp itself it's a three rack space unit but mounting it on a 4U case will allow for more air flow, better ventilation.

I have never used these strings myself but I have a friend that has been using them for a while and he says they are really good...I'm gonna buy myself a set and check them out. Another video demo here: [url="http://www.aurorastrings.es/videos.html"]http://www.aurorastrings.es/videos.html[/url]

Left/right hand exercises and fretboard learning: extended arpegios, scales.... Getting my slap technique up to speed. Also, learning a few basslines from this band I've just discovered, Imperial State Electric: Yeah, it's only rock'n roll but they have really good basslines. Their album "Imperial State Electric" is great.

You are not alone

I met Simon this morning, I went to his place to pick up my new gorgeous black & maple '75 Fender Precision. Buy with confidence people he's a true gentleman. I really enjoyed all the chat we had about Fender basses, even more seeing and getting to play some of the basses in his collection....and he makes the best coffee ever! Thank you very much Simon, it's been a pleasure!

Another vote for the Protec Contego, in my opinion better than it's rivals and cheaper! Regarding the neck protection they now also come with a neck pad for more support. I bought mine from here and received it in 4 days, great service: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/protec_contego_e_bass_case.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/protec_contego_e_bass_case.htm[/url]

[quote name='matski' post='1056130' date='Dec 12 2010, 03:57 PM']So to sum up, we have an 'S9' serial on the headstock - which could date anywhere from 1978 to 1981, and pot codes from 1980 and 1981. I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark at [b]1981[/b]! [/quote] +1 The bass is definitely not a 70's, pots and serial number indicate it's an 80's instrument.

[url="https://www.dropbox.com"]https://www.dropbox.com[/url] You open an account and it gives you 2GB storage space for free. You upload the files and then you share the folder with the pepople that asks you for the files. I already have an account with them and it's very handy for large files.

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='1033170' date='Nov 22 2010, 08:48 PM']Goodo, I'll start figuring out a way to share them on the internets (3 files 234Mb each minimum.....should be fun). In the meantime [url="http://"%20<a%20href="http://www.mediafire.com/?r9zrn391jq7de""%20target="_blank">http://www.mediafire.com/?r9zrn391jq7de"</a>"]this[/url] may interest you.[/quote] Link not working.

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='1032121' date='Nov 22 2010, 12:22 AM']Probably a very select audience, but I demuxed Oceansize's Feed To Feed DVD's, so I've got the bass, drums, and vocals track for the first 3 albums and Music For Nurses. They're very useful for figuring out the songs, because the bass is very audible, but the drums and vocals help you keep place in the song too. Let me know if anyone wants them and I'll figure out a way to make them shareable.[/quote] Definitely interested.
