Spoombung, I am with you on this, I usually have the chord structure and orchestration written down, and particular bass parts tabbed. If I didn't have this aide memoir, after not playing a particular song for say 3 months, I would need to think about it all over again! its a memory thing, I am in two bands and need to juggle loads of songs and I am not lucky enough to be one of these guys that has a photographic memory and never forgets a song! I can read and really must improve my notation and agree it is an essential tool, but at a practise when you are making changes on the hoof, notation isn't really an option. Ignoramus of Hereford

Hi guys, Due to a new singer joining my main band as the previous incumbent retired, there are a group of songs we have to drop a tone, and some of these don't transpose well on standard tuning. I tuned down one of basses a whole tone and it works well enough, but obviously strings are slacker, and the feel is different, is there any words of wisdom on this one? Cheers Stuart

Kurca is a top bloke to deal with, great comms, paid quickly, a credit to Basschat.

I too have made donations along the way, and have never been averse to subscriptions.

well i missed all of that, and yes £20 is a bargain, but i have been a) out of country and ill, so plainly missed it,

Hi, I just tried to list a bass for sale, first attempt disappeared into the ether, second attempt resulted in being directed to a subscriptions page. Have I missed a memo somewhere, am I not allowed to list items for sale? Is there a new system in place? Was a shame cos it was a very fair price for fellow basschatters. Have stuck it on ebay instead.

George is a top bloke to deal with and a credit to Basschat. Deal with absolute confidence!

I went to the first, would never go again because of exactly this, non-stop slap bass (at this show, apparently there isn't any other playing style), so annoying, and I am a bass player! HEADPHONES PEOPLE (to the organisers)

Hi, I know this store and indeed the owner who is a great guy, a gigging musician and a long term friend. I have done many, many deals with him without any problem. He is a genuinely nice guy trying to do something a little different during a difficult economy. He isn't the normal music store. Hope this helps. Cheers Stuart

Chris, just contacted Wizard, they can't help.... I must check dimensions as I am guessing this isn't MM sizing.

I have a lovely Squier Vintage Modified HB Jaguar, which is a great instrument, but I want to upgrade the pickup. The current one is a Musicman type, does anyone know of a straight replacement for this. It is an active bass also, so don't know if I would have to be looking at replacing the eq too? Cheers all Stuart
