Oddly, he doesn't even look like Mark Smith's dad! https://youtube.com/@talkingbasslessons?si=BLYGej4bMPMxqms1

Mother?

That just might do the job. Might be too short tho. I shall send them an email. Thanks all

Don't really care - anything at the minute! Chase do one via sleazebay but methinks it's too small

Hi gang I need a case for my Dean Explorer. But I can't find one. Any clues? If you made a rectangle (longest x widest) it would measure 128x43cm. I can't find anything. Any ideas? Ta

I'm a home player, but hopefully and not that far from now, I'll be looking for a dad's band - this is the right area for it! My set up is when m'Sahib is watching 'Emmerdale', it's headphones in and YouTube on. Playing along is easy to pick up but ask me? So glad to see I'm not alone in this. And big thanx for all your answers.

Hi folks I used to play electric 6 strings as a teenager and kept dipping in and out as I got older. Sometimes I'd see a musician who could really play and found it a little off-putting. Now I look at is 'what am I like today'? Never really thought about the bass until in a pub one night I was watching a fairly good band and saw that the bassist was plucking with only one finger! Can't be that hard then, can it? So I've bought a Dean Explorer, a Fender Rumble 75 and I'm having a great time. Back in the 80's, before YouTube, learning and playing was more difficult. Today there are a million bass covers on YouTube! So yeah, living my best life. See you on the boards.

Hi gang. The problem is that I can't remember songs 'in the moment'. In the same way, if I have to recite a speech of some sort, I get a big blank too. So I learn a song, and I can play along just fine. Then I learn another and by the time I've got that down, I've pretty much forgotten the first one! I can sing along really easily. Badly, but easily. Don't stop believin', for example is simple. Tune starts, Steve starts singing and I join in. Not a problem. But ask me to start it off and sing on my own and I am lost. What's going on? I can't believe that I'm the only one like this and it sounds like I shouldn't be out on my own. Oddly, I can type at over 100 words per minute! Sometimes it is as bad as I can't even name the previous track but there must be a way of doing this. What do you do? How do you remember how a song goes, and how to play it?
