Enjoy BC Sam Lots of great info and advice here. Hope to acquire a Jazz sometime this year (assuming I can sneak it past the wife!)

I have that rig ... ITS THE DOGS ...! Had to put some heavy duty castors on mine to save my spine but deffo worth humping around. Does anyone know if it makes any difference which input you use at the back of the XL cab. I don't see any info. at the back so I just plug into either jack. Can't really tell any difference in sound/tone/power.

Bass Brothers and Sisters Absolutely essential that I draw your attention to an upcoming book from Stuart Clayton's Bass Publishing company on the extremely cool and much missed Bernard Edwards. He often came off stage with bleeding fingers due to his playing style. He played with an index finger/thumb plectrum action .... but didn't actually use a plectrum if you see what I mean. Now that's committment to your art. Try it out and see how far you get. Good call Stuart. Come out of the closet all you funkdisco disciples and pay homage to the great man. [url="http://www.basslinepublishing.com/ultimatefunkdisco.htm"]http://www.basslinepublishing.com/ultimatefunkdisco.htm[/url] Al PS [i] “Bernard never changed strings,” says Nile Rodgers. “Bernard was asked, ‘So, what kind of strings do you use?’ He looked at his bass and went, ‘I don’t know; what kind of strings come on a Music Man bass?’”[/i]

Hey guys Thanks for the welcome Catch you soon Al

Hellooooo Bass Brothers and Sisters I've been kicking around BC for a while so about time I said howareyez! Al here. Living here in Esher in darkest Surrey. Originally from Dublin's fair city, I came to London for six months and I'm still here twenty years later. I've been plunking around on planks since I was a kid. Love Blues/Soul/Funk (who doesn't!) Love BC. The finest upstanding citizens of bottom-enders I've (n)ever met. Good honest opinions, chat, humour, and straight up bass business all being cooked up here in a great atmosphere of mutual support (a rare commodity these days) Keep up the good work one and all. Shalom Al

Yep. Ditto with my HA3500. Noisy bugger. Its OK when gigging but you can really hear it otherwise. Good idea to give it a clean. Thanks. Mind you at gigs it breaks the silence at the end of the number caused by the distinct lack of applause! Hope the Dominican Republique Brothel gig was a good payer ... or did you spend it all on something!
