[quote name='JHBASS' post='591625' date='Sep 6 2009, 07:54 PM']Hello all again, I was recently in town, when I saw a band busking. My band may be doing something similar as well. They had a full set up, including a amplified bass player. He was going through on of those Roland Cube RX amps (it was off the batteries). I went home did some research and found this costs £160+, and I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. I've found a number of guitar-specified amps, like the Micro Spider or Vox DA 5, do you think these would work? I don't really want effects etc. just the ability to use it with batteries/without a mains power supply. Does anybody have any suggestions? Cheers, Josh[/quote] Hello, I am also looking for a small portable bass amp. I have seen [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=practice&ID=222"]this[/url], would be interested to know if anybody else has tried it, has any thoughts? Thanks

[quote name='Guy!!' post='518118' date='Jun 19 2009, 09:40 AM']Its actually impossible to buy a bag for this bass. It has big tuning pegs, so the heads are not wide enough- and the official bag is difficult to get to ship to england, and supposedly falls apart anyway;[/quote] I had one of these basses for a while and got a EB0 gig bag from eBay, hard wearing and pretty cheap as well.

Travelled down to Godalming from Ipswich on Saturday to pick-up and pay for the Ibanez AGB200. Stuart is a great guy to deal with, good communication via phone and e-mail. The pick-up went very well, the bass is as described and I wouldnt hesitate to buy from him again. Thanks

Just wondering if anybody had used plastic of any sort for a body when building a bass? If you have can you recommend a good plastic in terms of tone and weight? Also, what is easier to work with plastic or more traditional wood? Thanks

I am a bass newbie and would like to train myself to recognise pitch. There are loads of pitch training links on-line. but I wonder if you guys could recommend any approach/technique that you have used.

[quote name='geilerbass' post='524118' date='Jun 25 2009, 08:00 PM']Welcome! This is probably the worst place to come if you want to buy less gear Whereabouts in Suffolk are you from? I'm a Lowestoft boy originally - there's a few of us on here. Hope you enjoy Basschat, Mark[/quote] Cheers Mark I am from Ipswich. I have been lurking for a few months, it took me ages to work out why everybody had GAS on here. However I have had it explained to me and I now realise that I am doomed like all other sufferers.

[quote name='Zoe_BillySheehan' post='524078' date='Jun 25 2009, 07:08 PM']Now thats a lot of gear for a short amount of time! haha. its addictive isnt it?? Welcome to basschat! Z x[/quote] I know, I bought the Aria first, didnt like the neck, at the time a P-Bass neck was too big. Then the EB0, which probably should have been returned as after two(!) set-ups it still wasn't right. I bought the Bronco Bass whilst waiting for the EB0 to be returned to me during 4 weeks of set-up work. Finally I got the Jeff Berlin bass which I really like, great thin neck so it is a lot easier to get around. As you say it is addictive, I dont think I have stopped yet!

Hello, I have been lurking for a while and thought it was about time I made my self known. I started playing a couple of months back, in that time I have brought 4 basses and 2 amps, I think I need to stop buying and start playing! I am just looking to improve to a position where I can hopefully jam with friends using some creativity instead of relying on the root as I seem to at the moment. Thanks
