  1. Welcome Rob. I did pretty much the same as you, played at school and just after when I was about 16, now 45 and started playing again about 18 months ago. Also trying to work out the voodoo behind it all.
  2. Well done for pulling yourself up by the boot straps and starting this thread to keep you going. I know all too well how difficult it is to motivate yourself to do anything when the black dog is biting.
  3. Eh? Am I missing something here? The strings wouldn't have to clear the frets when playing on the fretless part. That's behind where the string is making contact with the neck so makes no difference whatsoever. Or am I totally misunderstanding what people are talking about?
  4. Would be fine for me. I rarely venture above the 7th fret anyway. 😂
  5. Give it to me. You'll never have to worry about the neck dive again. 😁 You have too many basses anyway. 😉
  6. So on Gumtree he says, just started playing and was given this. On his Facebook add he says he's had it for years. This bloke couldn't lie straight in bed. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
  7. Thanks. Not my thing but my missus will love this! One of her favourite albums.
  8. New Bass Day. A series of posts where people show off their new goodies. All entitled NBD
  9. Bass for a child Seems like a fair swap Can he cook?
  10. Does that include the Behringer A/B pedal? If so I'll happily take that off your hands. Thanks.
  11. That's pretty much where I'm at too mate. My most expensive bass is about £300. The most I ever paid was about £1300, but those days are long gone for me.
  12. Only if it's a valve amp. They should never be used without speakers. As far as I'm aware, there's no problem with solid state. I've used mine DI'd to the PA loads of times and never had any issues.
  13. To believing that he can actually hold a tune. I mean, I always knew he was a singer, I just didn't think he could actually sing. I've heard far worse fronting very famous bands.
  14. Having listened to this one, I have to say, I'm a covert. The Hoff rocks! Seriously! For once I'm not even taking the proverbial. This is superb.
  15. Justinguitar is the best one I've ever found by a million miles. Right from complete beginner in easy to follow lessons. He's very watchable and best of all it's totally free. www.justinguitar.com
  16. It'll probably be a massive hit in Germany.
  17. One related thinh that really boils my wee, is when you go to the time and trouble to properly coil cables and leads before you put them away, yet they still come back out in a big knot. Christmas tree light syndrome!
