Whoops - missed the first part!

Love this response - but - maybe that's coz I'm a wimmin! (Caillean means "a lassie" in Gaelic - Scottish of course!) My favourite bass was "forced"(!!!!) upon me by my wonderful man, who likes it also coz of another reason too which I'm not going to go into :hiding: I'm not so keen on...

Thank you for clearing this up for me - has been annoying me for ages! Seems so much to learn - and - there I thought I could just pick up a bass guitar coz it was lighter and smaller. As for the side spots, I kinda find them a bit weird, and try and ignore their existance. It's really weird...

I've got a washburn xb120 fretless, which I got to save having to lug the double bass around everywhere with me - but, have now quite taken to the guitar as well, and have two basses!!!! The question I have been dying to ask people is - why do some fretless basses look like they've got frets...

wooohoooo - congrats. Craigslist really does have an amazing array of things .......... I never really knew I needed!

I've got a Washburn XB125 - fretless! It was my first bass, coz I came from double bass and thought fretless would be easier - which, it is kinda - but I now have a fretted bass too!!! It has a lovely sound, and everyone who has heard it have been blown out of the water - even at the recording...

LOL - was gonna ask you - where's the sound clips!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to hearing it - looks a lovely bass - glad you are getting a nice sound.

If you've got time - try out lessons and lots of different style basses in the meantime - then you can pounce and grab what you want when it comes up ...

Have you got any experienced bassists around you? It would be worth trying to get someone else play it for you so you can see what's going on from a bit of a distance - plus, they will give you an idea of what they feel may be wrong with it - before taking it to someone who will charge you...

I have one which my friend has lent me 'til I sell it - kinda part of the deal! He's asking about £1000 for the whole package, including a Jon Schnieder bow, which is probably a couple of hundred. Hope this helps you gain an idea. I also remember seeing one on ebay a few months ago for about...

Lovely first bass - awesome. Now, about typing - just put plasters on - or a real good computer wipe for the blood!!! Welcome as well

Awww - thanks snakeman.

I wouldn't touch an electric double bass, but, that's purely personal opinion. It's pretty easy to mic them up, or get a pick up for them when you need to. If you are getting a double bass - why would you need an accoustic bass guitar? I'm a little confused, if you're going to music college...

Hope this works ..... Photos should be attached

:hyper: Can I have a number now please - I've FINALLY got my array limited, as a birthday present from the loveliest man. Now I've just got to try and upload a picture of it :bawl: More time spent away from my bass .......... He did tell me that if I wanted to have the bass turned way up...

I kinda like my Washburn xb120 - but, I came in from Double Bass - so, that probably influenced my tone hunt! Good luck!

LOL - this thread made me laugh! I bought my bestest amp (a trace) secondhand on ebay - from a 16 year old :bawl: As someone said fairly early on - guess, if you get it on a plate - you really don't appreciate it! I still use my little Hartke though - coz it's smaller and easier to carry...

Tell her if you don't like it, it'd sell for two grand! It won't work - that's what we women have been doing for centuries ...!!!!!!!!! Wasn't there someone looking for one of them in white? Might be worth a separate posting ... Oh yeah - hopefully my wishes will be fulfilled to join...

LOL - he's desparate for me to sell it - but I've not broached this question with him yet!

I went from cello to bass - and just kind of threw the music out for awhile to get used to the changes! Sometimes I wish I'd played the violin, not the cello and changed - coz that would have been easier ............ I can't read tabs at all - keep thinking that the numbers are fingerings - I...

I'm not a great fan of carvings and scrolls - but - I do like the shape of the bass - would love to know what it sounds like though.

wow - writing was bigger than I thought it would be - but, then again - means I can actually read it without straining - whoops, guess that means a new pair of glasses will have to be on their way ....

OK - I am meant to be trying to think about selling my friend's bass that he lent me - yes, I know - I've been thinking about this for awhile - but, circumstances have now made it a bit more urgent! What I want to know is - these circumstances are that my visa application for living in Canada...

Have a look at the Traben - great quality bass with a good price tag

Don't suppose you have any idea of how much it would cost to ship it to the UK? Or Canada at a push ....... if I could wait that long ...!

LOL - and, once again - the great divide demonstrates itself! Many of these basses aren't even heard of on this side of the Atlantic - let alone seen and tried! However, here's my choices - I love my washburn fretless coz it's as smooth as silk - and, more importantly - gives me a sound not...

Takamine - or Cort if you want to buy something cheaper and invest in a portable amp for when you're not up a mountain! Seriously though, even up a mountain with just an accoustic guitar you're going to have to go some to be heard (more so if there's a gust of wind .........) Obviously, I...

Well - I was gonna say - book a recording session - that usually seems to be when I break anything! However, it does sound like your bass needs looked at. I would agree with having the second guitar - is nothing worse than playing someone else's in desparation - but that might just be me!

I'd like to meet some of you when I've moved!!!! Well - will be within the year or so - but - even so - would like to!

Hehe - yup - the pack mules could swim - and pull the Midget behind them too! Naw, they all fly in - probably to Houston, primarily coz I've used that agent before - and they've said I can fly with them as a groom :hyper: Thanks again for the good wishes - and - yup - I'm a female...

There's always the daisy rock - I'd so love the flower in yellow .................. - sadly, however, I tend to favour a long neck!

LOL - just be thankful you don't play double bass and have to pay an adult fare ...!

LOL - I'm already a fore-sworn fullly fledge Timmies addict - even to the point of having it shipped over here by willing(?!) friends!!! I know it's not quite the same - but - will have to do for a few months!!! So far - I'm avoiding the Red River - whilst getting fully insulated barns for the...

Thanks all for your advice - I am going to find out if they have switches - especially the Trace, as I've checked out prices on both sides - and - well, that would be worth putting in the shipping container if it will fit! I'm heading for Manitoba - something about -40C that just really gets...

Wild are still up there and fighting hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for AHL - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOOSE :P

I'm kinda needing some advice - and thought here was a great place to start! I'm going to move from the UK to Canada, and, am wondering whether it's better to sell my amps here and buy over there, or to bring them with me. I have a little basic Hartke, and a Trace Eliott. Are they the same...

LOL - well - I play both and haven't actually heard anyone get the confused - but - there are the "do ya keep your clothes in it" comments (to which the answer is - have done in the case in the past!) or - "is it a gun" (chuckle chuckle), to which I answer - nope, that's a violin - this is a...

Thanks for your comments - shame they don't stay that size ...! Glad you liked the music - I'm not 100% sure about the bass recording in one, but, I'm just fussy I think! Here, in the UK, music is rather overloaded and many good musicians offer their music totally free with newspapers -...

LOL - ya can go off a person pretty quick ........ the Moose would be a good team if it weren't for that - but - my preference is the Wild!:hyper: Just kinda hard when it's all in the middle of the night .......
