    Drummer issue- Image v.s. Playing

    Ahh, that would really annoy me and i'd probably look at you the same way! Why didn't you get straight to the point and tell him that his image sucks?

    Drummer issue- Image v.s. Playing

    Does he want to join your band? Maybe he's thinking you're a clean cut, bunch of pansies! Idk, who cares about image? I like the suggestion of investing some money into some presentable threads, but i wouldn't invest too much. He's a drummer, he probably sits at the back of the band. Who's going...

    Brand New Heavies...Live

    I still think Heavies are better than Jamiroquai :rolleyes:. Jay Kay should try and poach this guy as his next bassist :p That guy rocks ;)

    Best Jazz Bass I've Played

    Imo, the MIMs are thin and unsubstantial. MIA's beat them any day i think. After playing numerous basses when i first bought my MIA, it sounded so much better, but it also had a better finish. The fretboards on MIMs looks a bit stained, whereas the fretboards on MIAs feel like the real deal...

    UNBELIEVABLE EBAY FIND!

    Ah, the whole "buyer's market" is a whole 'other story. I've never had trouble selling goods in the past (non bass related, albeit still music-related). Now, however, is another story. Whilst i never used to hesitate in buying goods (if i had the money) thinking i could sell them off later, i...

    UNBELIEVABLE EBAY FIND!

    Hahaha, that's exactly what i was alluding to! I just had this vision of guys going into the toilet and whatnot and not washing their hands of course! I'm sure that is all part of the appeal of a vintage instrument, but that sort of history is the history i'd rather not think about ;) (and that...

    UNBELIEVABLE EBAY FIND!

    I know that some people love the history of old Fenders etc. and i think some of them look amazing. I just can't help but think how many manky hands have been on that bass?! Call me a neat-freak, but i'd want to give it a good wash and disinfectant before i touched it. Lol.

    Correct placement of neck pick-up cover and finger-rest

    I know this is probably a daggy (and overdone) subject and Moderators, please feel free to reposition somewhere else, but is there a 'correct' position to put your neck pickup cover in? At the moment, i've got it blue-tacked square over the pickup. I'm also wondering how i will reach the...

    Are Waricks overrated?

    I hope not. I'm thinking of trialing one in the future.

    Any tips for Self Taught Bassists?

    I've got to say, when i started recording my playing (only recently), i was horrified! Every little error stands out: sloppy attach, inconsistent notes, poor rhythm in parts and timing errors. It can either make you or break you.

    PreSonus Audiobox only recording as 2 x Mono Channels: Help!

    Howdy. I have my bass plugged into the Instrument socket and an mp3 plugged into the MIC socket. When i play both in headphones, it plays in stereo. when i go to record using Cubase or Wavelab, it records both as two mono channels, for example, it records the bass on the left channel and the...

    Precisely the reason i withdrew mine from sale.

    I'm 52, starting to take bass seriously, but...

    Well, i noticed that Ben Kenney from Incubus had a stool up on stage for part of his latest tour and he's not even 40! If i ever gig (which i plan to at some stage), i will be taking a stool so i can either sit or stand. I personally don't see the need to jump around the stage constantly, but...

    Is it unethical to edit your recording for YouTube?

    I like this approach. From reading through these posts, i can see that "audience", as well as purpose and disclosure are an important part of the process. For instance, if it's a promotional video, then by all means, editing is appropriate, as it is a showcase of most of your skills (bar the...
