neepheid Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1422510969' post='2673502'] ^^^^^^^^ Neepheid, thanks for that, I think, quite impressive what lightweight tuners can do, how much are they? Got a cure for falling forward? (the bass I mean, not me) then I'll buy one. [/quote] I got my set of four second hand, can't remember how much it was, £60 maybe? I don't get the falling forward thing - doesn't one's forearm prevent that from happening while you're playing? Quote
RhysP Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1422611585' post='2674535'] I don't get the falling forward thing - doesn't one's forearm prevent that from happening while you're playing? [/quote] That's exactly what I was thinking, especially with a body that large. I've always liked the look of these, and have seen a few bands using them & they've always sounded great. I was looking at one in my local music shop yesterday. Bottom line is that I don't play the bass I've got now so buying another one would just be a waste of money, regardless of how pretty it is.

FinnDave Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 I didn't notice the nick dive or pitching forwards when playing with the band, only when testing it in a strap at home. Bought a longer strap yesterday, will try it later today. Quote

Dad3353 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1422654349' post='2675369'] What's a chequebook? [/quote] Summit that keeps one in check (or so I'm told; I've not got one...). Quote

[/quote] When i moved to Finland in 1996 and opened a bank account I asked for a chequebook and was met by bemused smiles. They were history there even then. I remember explaining them to a group of incredulous students one day, I think at least half of them thought it was an elaborate joke. Quote

Still, the notion was really only for (dubious...) comic effect, which would not work so well if I'd put 'Don't bring your Paypal', just the same... Quote
