And you call yourselves bass players without a nod to the masters. Maybe its a slap ting

Thanks guys.. Yeah the AG700 is out of range at the moment. Don't really need anything with that much horsepower either. I hadn't looked at the Techamp, thanks Mick. Im leaning toward the TH350, but I'm wondering how loud it is.?

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1507589269' post='3386670'] Well first of all you don't say it like that. I saw it as at least as much a failure for me as it was for the student. [/quote]Really?, there was me thinking, I would want to actually talk to a child like that. I was leaving it up to Owen's interpretation.

When do you say. Your not musical, sorry I can't teach you. ?. That must be so difficult as a teacher. My dad has had to turn (as harsh as it sounds) kids/parents away because some ears/minds just are not geared for music. No matter how much money is given to you as a teacher, it must be a little disheartening for all parties.

Great early DVD I've got of some great bass players discussing there technique etc. Interesting to hear how the 5 string had not been out that long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC_uPPzyWBY

Im aware the tone isn't what we all want in an instrument. But it is an eye/ear opener. Its a great example of, the mind sees what we want to hear. I thought bass 1 was the Sire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee5J2KvuMHo

Im looking for a light weight head, but my knowledge is limited. My previous amp was an Aguilar AG500 and just loved it, but didn't like the weight. So thats a reference point maybe. Ive been looking at the Tech 21 VT 500 or the TH350 second hand. My budget is £500 max.

This is just superb. well it makes me move anyways. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE7iy96y5as&index=200&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ[/media]

How can you get 2 pages from this.?

Ok thanks guys. Yeah the Mac is only recognising built in speakers. Mix Control won't open either. So I presume it needs a software update.

Ive just updated my MacPro to Sierra. I have a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 running into it, but its not recognising the interface.? I can play and hear the bass, but audio/signal from YouTube isn't running through the interface. Im thinking I need to update the Saffire software.? Any ideas.?

I spoke with Pete on the phone, Hes on Facebook Mick if you want to message him, im sure he would appreciate it.

Am i missing something. I havent read the whole thread properly so do correct me. My definition of choking a note, is because the string at some point along the neck is too close to the frets. Of course there is a buzz you get, but depending on the relief of the neck and also the trueness and levelling of the frets, one will get a few choked notes. A super low action will go past the buzzing point and choke a note/s.? A higher action will let the strings vibrate.? I really dont think pickup height has anything to do with it.

Whats everyones definition of choking.?

I prefer the neck on a Maruszczyk to a 5 string Fender. It was like a Lakland 55. Much more comfortable for me. Lets not forget you can specify your neck with a Maruszczyk. So its a mute point. The biggest deal i found is with a Maruszczyk in particular, your getting a high end bass, for way less money than a high end Fender. Fender are riding on there name to certain extent.
