My kid had been saving up for a bass, so this morning I took him to some pawn shops along with a Fender six string acoustic I wasn't using and with his money and my old guitar, we got him this brand new condition Squier Precesion Bass. http://members.cox.net/glennbopix/CollinsBass.jpg After setting the intonation and action on it, I did this quick test with it to see how it sounds recorded. Not bad for a kid bass. I might be borrowing it sometimes to record with now that I've tweaked it out. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=403575 -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

I had the same problem with my singer's fender acoustic, he knows 3 chords and didnt want to bother with chord #4 and beyond. He gave it to me to try to fix, but the best I could do was get it to where your fingers couldnt accidentally slip between the strings and the fretboard when you tried to play a barr chord. After looking around, I wasnt impressed with their lower end acoustics. My Ovation practically lives at his house now just so that he can have something to sing a melody over while writing.

The guitar has a *great* sound due to the all rosewood body and spruce top, but for some reason, you had to press so hard to get it to fret, that it would wear you out in short order. I'm glad to be rid of it, and glad my kid has a good bass to learn on. He already picked out some things, and was messing around with Roundabout, and a Seal song that has a busy bass. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

I remember Ninjam when your son played the drums and you had the bass, G'Bo, is that right? Try that again with your son on bass and see who you guys attract.

Yamaha makes some great acoustic guitars. I used to have a cheep FG-160 and it was way easier to play than the more expensive Fender I just dumped. These days, if I want an acoustic to play on a song, I use the 1934 Gibson L-00 that was my dad and uncle's guitar in the 30s. It plays like a dream and sounds spectacular too. It's easily the best acoustic I've ever had out of about ten different makes and models. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

Yep, that was it. The funny thing about that jam is the fact that my kid was in his own room with a little midi keyboard hooked up to his machine, and I was in my music room with a bass plugged into my DAW.

Well Phoenix, as most of us have found out, after you get past the intial shock of everything actually making sense, it's easy to fall in love with. I was intimidated by it at first, after using Sonar for so long, but I think I had bed tracks laid down within the first hour or two of firing it up. What started out as a test turned into a 3 and a half minute song, sans vocals.
