Thanks for the advice but it's really maybe a next year project and I don't see that box staying longer so I don't plan on buyin a project bass this year

I just got one for £115 including delivery and a strap and lead etc. It sounds and plays fine and I am only planning on making cosmetic changes to it.[/quote] I actually do have a jim deacon p bass special with the jazz bridge pup aswell which could be modded but I think it sound great the way it is. Maybe I might do cosmetic changes....

Its really just one for the future maybe after new year when cash is more ready available Just spotted it and was intrigued

Ive always fancied customising a p bass and i spotted this one on The Guitar Store in Glasgow. Link Below [url="http://guitarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67_76&products_id=242"]http://guitarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_pa...products_id=242[/url] It does look short scale though and theres hardly any detail about it. Any thoughts?

Still waiting on my new GB to join the family… Lots of pics of the basses floating around the forum anyway… but I'll get a better pic of the lot when lighting conditions allow!

Right second attempt! I consider myself the best bassist in Irvine that has ever lived. Maybe even all North Ayrshire or maybe all Ayrshire

When I was 15 I was chosen to replace the bassist in my church band without me asking for whatever reason. He's mid 30's so not ok or that. Also I consider and still consider him a great bassist and multiple talented musician. My pals say I'm good but I dunno if they're just saying that If I'm in a guitar shop an I hear someone play the same song after I've played it and it sounds bad I feel better bout myself I think I'm very average and will take anyones criticism on the chin and work to improve on the weak point (which I think I have alot of) also I've been looking for a tutor ( which I think I've got sorted for after new year) I've just read over this and I think I failed at blowing my trumpet Em...I rule at Pow - Larry Graham

[quote name='umph' post='1050857' date='Dec 7 2010, 06:45 PM']haha yes its what happens when you use a belt sander to try and strip a finish. I think i'm part the way there to rescuing it though![/quote] I think u should keep the body the way it is

I like it Very em...different

[quote name='algmusic' post='1050665' date='Dec 7 2010, 04:00 PM']Just because it' not a Christian band it doesn't mean, mean it has to be for a career. I'm not trying to be funny or anything mate. I had lots of friends in the past play with lots of bands for fun, they just made sure it didn't have any conflicts with their beliefs.. There's alot of bands out there matey will fit your bill. You might need be a bit more specific in terms of your musical style.. It might help you find a band quicker[/quote] Haha i never said that being in a secular band means a career. i pretty much only play secular songs at home.

[quote name='algmusic' post='1050625' date='Dec 7 2010, 03:24 PM']Check out starnow.co.uk and musofinder.co.uk .. you might find something there.. Are you solely looking for a Christian band only?.. I'm pretty sure there are bands out there that maybe that, but maybe not have the label[/quote] Aye christian only probably, its really only for fun and not a career.

[quote name='Gust0o' post='1043209' date='Dec 1 2010, 12:33 AM']Is it not the case that, to play the bass is easier than to play guitar; but to play the bass [i]well[/i] is entirely another matter? [/quote] My words exactly

I love the slap technique! Can do it but theres doing it and doing it well.
