Just had a look at your new site Alex. Really nice. Holds all the essentials and info a customer needs in a very logical well laid out fashion. Suited me fine, as I dislike 'busy' sites - due to my innate laziness. I'd definitely think a review would be great for your product.

Search engines aren't much help either, they just throw up a lot of fishing related sites.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='630596' date='Oct 19 2009, 06:16 PM']I tried tab once - its like an even more disgusting version of diet coke[/quote] You might be getting confused somewhere, ......or am I getting confused?

I always have problems with Root/Octave sequences or runs. I'm hoping it will just come with persistent practice. But it kills my hand sometimes. My plight is not helped by, although I have largish hands most of that is accounted for by my palm, and my fingers are not as flexible as I would like them to be ( a combination of nature and onset of mild osteoarthritis). And I also find it difficult to stretch to one finger per fret in part as my little finger is very small (this has just been confirmed by this - I put my hands against my wife's who has very small hands and all my fingers are no bigger than hers, damn ) - but also bends inwards, that is no lie. Oh crap.

I like the flexibility they give you. Sometimes you might want a really and I mean really fat sound, so you just boost that bass up and there it is. Also really good, like silldx said for dub sounds. It's just a matter of personal taste and wanting to muck about a bit.

[quote name='Stuart Clayton' post='628378' date='Oct 16 2009, 10:43 PM']It's in the key of Db and the song revolves around a ii-V progression - Ebm7 - Ab13. Presumably this will be of interest to you?: [url="http://www.basslinepublishing.com/brand-new-heavies-brother-sister.html"]http://www.basslinepublishing.com/brand-ne...her-sister.html[/url] Will be released in a few weeks time. Stu[/quote] Many thanks. Ironically I was only just looking at the new thread you placed on the affiliates forum after I posted this thread, went to your site and saw it will be out soon. The revamped website looks really good. Very easy to use, I like it.

Decided to get a little jazzy funky, so dug out the Brother Sister album by the Brand New Heavies. Specifically the first track HAVE A GOOD TIME. I've got most of it nailed, apart from the little impro bit where the sax does the solo. I know the whole song revolves around Ab and Db (or the enharmonic equivalants) but my theory is very basic so I'm struggling to identify what key it is in and the relevant scales for the chords. Sorry if this isn't very clear, but can anyone provide some guidance.

But just you lot stay the correct side of the Tamar.

Well, happy birthday and all. Hope you have a lovely day. Are you going to send any of that cake out before the chimp eats it all? (looks vaguely like a drummer I once knew )

One can only assume that the chap in front of you had eaten something that disagreed with him.

[quote name='chris_b' post='625092' date='Oct 13 2009, 03:26 PM']At the end of the day you should remember that, audiences notice the good notes, only musicians notice the bad notes.[/quote] That's made my day that!

You could try what I do. Shout at your hands. ' COME ON HANDS, PLEASE' Then comes the unedifying pleading with my hands

expensive? given some of the posts already given.

Eventually I'm going to need another bass, call it necessity call it GAS, I just don't know. However, been looking at Rockbass by Warwick, probably a Corvette. Just wondered if anyone had an opinion on them.

[quote name='Moos3h' post='618433' date='Oct 6 2009, 12:18 PM']Agreed, my favourite type of bassplaying - not showy-offy, not Mr Flashypants, but solid and there to support the song.[/quote] It's what bassplaying is all about for me. You're the glue and he is very good glue. As for Mr Knopfler, always comes across as a decent bloke. Probably press misinterpretation as usual.

Deep blue body, matching headstock with maple fretboard. Definite fav. OR, natural wood (depending on the wood) or those translucent paint effects. Quite like SOME subursts but not all.

[quote name='Geek99' post='616388' date='Oct 4 2009, 12:00 PM']Zoom b2.1 u is my tip[/quote] What's the rhythm function (or drum machine) like on them? The b2.1.u is a little pricey so have been looking at the b2 though.

Couldn't here him at all. Perhaps he needs a bigger bass? Rather than the cello he seems to be playing

Watching the same. Spot on

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='614204' date='Oct 1 2009, 08:38 PM']What web cams do you guys use? my one can't keep up with my hands.[/quote] That could end up on the quote thread if left unedited!

Been looking around for a multi- effects pedal, wondered if anyone had an opinion Cheers

[quote name='silddx' post='608709' date='Sep 25 2009, 03:40 PM']I will be down to those lazy f***ers in the RM striking again, when the rest of us work for a living. They need bloody privatising, sharpish. Apologies to those of you here in the RM, but it pisses me off. I actually got an email today from Guitarist Magazine saying my subs issue may arrive late because of postal strikes.[/quote] I am a postie. I can fully understand your pi**ed offness (that's good english init). I had occasion to give RM customer services - if that's not a contradiction in terms - a damn good blasting the other day for taking over 2 weeks to deliver a Recorded delivery. And my son is still waiting for his birthday card from my brother. It's a combination of some bone idle staff combined with brainless management - afraid a change of ownership won't change a thing there. Look at BA. I'm not currently on strike and never have been. Last time there was a ballot I voted no. But I've got to say the way I and my colleagues have been treated over the last 12 months I don't know. My national strike ballot paper is sat on my desk and, well...........I'm still thinking on it. Apologies for going off thread. I'll probably end up buying BGM again this month, despite saying I wouldn't.

You could always using the low B as somewhere to rest your thumb?

As said in prev posts, you can't really go wrong with Squire, Yamaha, Ibanez or Cort. Personally I have an Ibanez SR300 as I wanted the slimmer neck because I have got what have been described as ' shovels for hands' i.e. not small, but large palms ( not very long fingers). My hands aren't really designed for playing stringed instruments so I went for something that made life easier. I am more than happy with it, my only gripe is the colour, it's red and I wanted the blue with maple neck, but I couldn't find one
