Cat Burrito

Whilst I acknowledge the above comments I do think there are better bargains out there! Nice colour though

We swapped instruments around once at rehearsal and my guitarist played my bass. He had the same facial expression my cat had right after I had him neutered. Can't remember what he played like!

I'm with burray in that coolness is subjective. Is cool up high, slapping away or is it down by the knees digging in on those 16ths? The answer is probably yes & no to all those things. A 20yr old me would be embarrassed (a bit!) by the 38yr old me as a bass player but the reality is I'm more comfortable in myself now and I don't really care what others think of whether it's cool anymore. A point that probably makes me cooler in its own way

I'm saying nothing until I've had legal advice...

Life is indeed too short:) Enjoy

Welcome to Basschat

Welcome

Welcome

See, it's so much nicer when people say hello properly, isn't it? Welcome to the forum

I think this thread should have a yellow card from the toilet humour police

I think the bass is possibly a part cause for my unsuccessful relationships breaking up.... Oh well

Continuing the greetings from Berkshire theme (Newbury), welcome

I bought a mug for three quid from the Orange stand. Sweet!

Sequenced backing is broken and plays in wrong key.[/quote] Back in the pre digital days when tape speed sometimes played at different pitches... my favourite ever YouTube clip They've since tracked her down & she is remarkably good humoured about it

I too use Grolsch tops, always have. I bought some strap locks once but just prefer the ease of the red rubber ring. No modifications & away you go.

Not in that colour, no

I think it depends on why you are modifying it & what you hope to achieve. Most like a slightly hotter pickup than stock hence SD Quarter Pounders being popular. If looking for a traditional sound (which it doesn't sound like you are) than you'd get a different pup. Personally I'd fit the John East retro Jazz pre-amp first and if that wasn't the answer to everything only then look at pups.

P-basses are designed to be played about it. Personally I'd reverse that mod too. Have fun & welcome to the club

27secs in - hard to believe this made a comedy show. One for all you Soul lovers Enjoy!

He obviously lucked out in Vegas with the Dice & needs to make the cash back quick. I too rate those Ritter Gig Bags

A different take on the "really [b]shoulda[/b] mimed" theory

Welcome It's a big step in stamina playing a bass. You might benefit from getting a powerball (Usually about a tenner from Argos or EBay). Good fun and they help build up the strength in your wrist and fingers. I used one when I started playing upright bass. I went from struggling with two songs to playing for two hours. Practice is good too of course but this will just rock up your strength a bit better

Welcome Most of us aren't as good as the people in the masterclasses but manage to have a lot of fun and get regular gigs etc. Enjoy a piece at a time, a bit like eating an Elephant, to coin a phrase

Welcome We have a tattooing thread somewhere here (assuming you don't want a break from work!)

Can't help with the bass but welcome
