Thanks. I thought it was going to be an ebay search. I'd done some searches myself but just wanted to check if there was any 'hidden' specialists Cheers

I don't think certain members of my last band would say I was friendly. The drummer suggested we all bury the hatchet after a particularly unpleasant argument...I said the only hatchet I'd bury was into the other two's gear I'm friendly to people I respect or those I need to be friendly to. Most bass players I've met are friendly sorts

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1411732622' post='2562342'] Pino and Zak? They're just substitutes. Yes, I'm going... [/quote] I can't explain how poor that joke is...anyway, anyhow, anywhere I've Had Enough

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1410717627' post='2552296'] I think she maybe knows what she's talking about from experience ? Yellow sticker or not, would it actually be sorted and delivered ? [/quote] She was wrong

This is a bit of a long shot may be... An mate of mine's wife has an old Marshall cab that once belonged to the bass player of the Dead Kennedy's. One of the drivers isn't an original and he wants to put a Celestion G15 100 in in its place. Any body know of anywhere where he might be able to get his hands on one? Thank you

Can your house (I mean in terms of space and the patience of the current Mrs Discreet) handle double* bass GAS? I almost bought one of those HB P basses, stupid money. Great stuff. *unintended pun, that I can't work out how to reword

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1411412952' post='2559331'] Great set list, played a lot of them tracks too, love Nightboat to Cairo...but what no Ghost town [/quote] Ghost Town was the first single I bought, an absolute must for a ska list

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1411412346' post='2559321'] I am original. I have invented my own scales based on random notes [/quote] Afraid you're mistaken... you're playing jazz, you just didn't realise.

The two best bands I've seen locally... One bass player used a Squier Affinity P bass through a cheap rig, sounded great. The other bass player plays a customised Yamaha TRB J6, which wasn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination. And he sounded great too. All good I usually gig an Ibanez SR300 and I sound, alright.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1411405214' post='2559210'] Let us face it. The weakest part of the signal chain is the player. sh*t player + amazing bass & rig = sh*t bass. Amazing player + sh*t bass & rig = amazing bass. [/quote] These sorts of posts really do boil my waste bodily water. What utter nonsense. Great gear=great player. All my gear is cheap and I'm rubbish, proof if proof was needed so there.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1411406588' post='2559227'] .... may be a bit embarrassing asking a priest for directions, and actually telling him you fancy his sister. [/quote] That's pretty much how I failed my O-level French exam :/

iTunes user with an iTunes account and still no sign of Bonio and his band of chums in my music library...I feel blessed.

... and being serious for a moment. Although my scale/theory knowledge is limited, I do find that songs make more sense if I can relate some theory to them... and you start to understand why certain note choices sound more appropriate than others.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1411396092' post='2559079'] That's actually a far more persuasive argument, especially to those of us whose playing has "plateau'd". I have a (depressingly small) arsenal of licks I can drop into a bassline, and I've always wanted to be able to chuck new stuff in on the fly - yes, but what if it doesn't fit? [/quote] Quickly slide up, very quickly, to the root, works a treat

Scales are essential for fish, therefore bass. I know, it's not even remotely amusing. It is Monday.

I look forward to see what TE have got coming out new. I'd like to see anything new so that TE are recommended on these pages, like with other brands.

I'd stick with it for now and see if things improve.

I'd be lost without my air bass

Owz thiz geddin' on then?

[quote name='Pukie' timestamp='1411128889' post='2556737'] Yep, Change your band name to "Half Price Carvery" !!! [/quote] With support from 'Free Beer'

The only thing that attracts a crowd in my neck of the woods, on a Sunday, is a carvery .

Surely things have improved immeasurably since that One Direction chappy has left Redditch? Haven't they?

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1410883532' post='2554293'] Bilbo lives in a place where windows are rare, East Anglia I live in London, I hear mostly drummers practicing, but sometimes guitars, and occasionally horns. [/quote] If you insist on living in the red light district you've only got yourself to blame if you here people playing with horns...
