    Not sure what you mean there as my strumming comes mostly from my wrist, so it’s all quite flicky I guess. Whatever works for you is best, but try and avoid excessive tension in the hand and arm, as this can lead to fatigue and a somewhat robotic feeling.

    I’m glad that helped and it sounds fine to me. I don’t think I count when I strum, but I may have back in the dim and distant past when I started, I just don’t remember. However, I probably do it unconsciously by tapping my foot or nodding my head.

    I haven’t watched the video but for a good reason - I’m going to suggest something and don’t want to be swayed by what you might or might not be doing. I think a great way to devise a strumming pattern is to just play a one note, one bass string rhythm pattern and then recreate that pattern as a strum.

    Everyone learns differently. However, if this were me, I’d be dreadfully confused by the introduction of an instrument with less strings and a different tuning so early on in my learning journey. Your experience may be different, but I’d avoid the uke.

    A prime example of why you should check your posts, especially regarding autocorrect, before hitting save/share. See 2nd comment (taken from FB)...

    Ooh, interesting. I’ll need to fire up the big machine and get the headphones on for this. Jensens used to be my go to speakers when swapping out. The Jensen, alnico blue backs in my old ‘59 Bassman reissue were lovely.

    Changed the course of guitar playing in a way few others have. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54443394

    I had one of those, it was very nice. I can’t remember why I sold it now.

    Ooh, have you seen this? https://www.reddit.com/r/audio/comments/50l4s1/help_how_do_you_get_your_behringer_uphoria_um2_to/d9df868/

    Have you tried the combination input on the left, Mic/Line1?
  11. ezbass
    Beats me. I don’t how the Behringer works, but I’d have thought there’d be some sort of level indicator so you can set the gain. Therefore, I’d suggest that the fault lies either with the guitar, lead or interface input, but I could be way off base.

    A quick eBay search should give you a guide.

    What @EliasMooseblaster said.

    Block inlays from the keyboard?

    Ah, the old combined pickup conundrum. I even find combined, full on humbuckers are not as strident as a soloed ‘bucker (same for single coils). Once you start only using 1 coil of each humbucker, you’re compounding that volume drop even more. I’m sure that there is some kind of active circuit mod that would help with your dilemma, but I don’t have any details. Sorry.

    Short scale basses are very on trend at the moment, I’m certainly interested in getting one (although preferring a wider nut width limits my choice at the lower end of the market). If Sire are successful with this guitar range, I imagine left handed ones would follow in short order.

    Another BCer here too.

    Having taken the bass market by storm with their Marcus Miller endorsed basses, Sire is setting about doing the same with guitars, with none other than Larry Carlton as their flag bearer. All 3 models look pukka to my eyes. The video is bound to be a bit gushing given that Anderton’s sell them. https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/electric-guitars?#facet:307445734561667667583105114101&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&

    The Classic Vibes punch way above their price point. Hard to go wrong.

    Sounds like standard Gibson/Epiphone (and copies thereof) behaviour to me, that’s how you get that kill switch effect.

    I know Antigua is a finish that divides folk, but I'm on the side of it being fantastic and have loved it since it first came out ('80s?). GLWTS.
  25. ezbass
    All done, although I've gone back to cream selector switch tip (just too much black). I've also quickly lashed up a recording, excuse the dodgy notes and timing. P90.mp3
