Re: Guitar Mad People
 

So after some more buying and selling a few items I eventually found me a Fender Strat.

I have been searching small adds for ages but they sell fast so no luck, I go to our cousins in woodstock Boxing Day and their now grown up son has a 2010 sunburst Fender he don’t use anymore, ha ha, so handed a few $$ and it’s mine now :@) needs new strings and the screws are rusty, all purchased today, tonight’s job.

Also saved enough cash on the deal that I also picked up another Amp, a Fender G Dec 30. So I is quietly content now in Ajax :@)

I bought a bass at the weekend and forgot to take a pic. I will do so later.

Can anyone recommend a Justin Guitar type of site so I can prevent driving the rest of my family nuts with endless playing of "Another one bites the dust" and "Billie Jean" riffs?

Many thanks

Really need a pic for it to be official but for now I will say welcome to the new addition ;)

Ohhhh fun!! I haven't really looked for a Justin-type site for bass. If there's a song I want to learn, I just Google that song plus bass tutorial, and go from there. Can't wait to see a photo!

It's a Fender Precision Bass. I also got Fender Rumble 40 amp too.

I've had a look at Scott's Bass Lessons and he appears to be very good. He is all over YouTube too.

Try . Classic N.W.A. riff to get going...


or this one seems better...

Re: Guitar Mad People
 

Sweet! What color? Mine is a Fender Jazz Bass and I adore it!

I bought a Fender bass amp too, but can't remember the model offhand.

Thanks

I learned to play the bass line to "Stand by me" last night and, using a looper, played the bass and then used my guitar to play the chords over it. If only I could sing!

Re: Guitar Mad People
 

It's red with a maple fretboard.

I really wanted a Jazz Bass but they only had two, a black one and a sunburst one, both with rosewood fretboards. I was caught between the flexibility of the tones I could get with the Jass Bass and the fact that the colour and the fretboard of the Precision were exactly what I wanted.

I have large hands and I have never had an issue with "large" stretch on a guitar. Bass takes that to a whole new level.

It's now official:

Re: Guitar Mad People
 

The ideal collection :thumbsup: congrats !

Here is my current updated guitar family :p

Re: Guitar Mad People
 

Very nice.

Are you working on anything interesting at the moment that you would care to share?

Re: Guitar Mad People
 

Am playing in a duo at the mo, we do old songs on acoustic amped up, stuff like the boxer and proud Mary. I am still learning most of the songs but doing ok.

Re: Guitar Mad People
 

Great news. Playing with another improves one's playing massively.

Re: Guitar Mad People
 

Love them all! My electric guitar and bass are the same colors as yours, but I switched out the pick guards for paisley print ones.
