      Thanks for listening!!

      Is your acoustic bass ready to be played Tim?
      You’ll receive something very soon, I just need to find the time to record it. 😉

      (not sure to have tuned to 440hz but is that the most important?..)

      😆 😆 😆

      Definitely sounds Celtic to me (and I’m a sad Bodhran player!) I suppose the intro could sound a bit oriental, maybe…more the sound than the actual notes though.

      People with that opinion eat in strange Chinese restaurants, then. “Cormack Murphy o’Connor’s Authentic Dim Sum” maybe. Sounded closer to Irish in my earballs.

      All is ok now!! 😉

      So….I was looking for a “celtic ambiance” and this is what people say about my sample : oriental!!!!
      Opinion?

      Mrs Bass sleeps as I read this. Guy, I know that “Je l’ai dans l’os” = I have it in the bone, but I don’t know what it means. Is it a problem that you just can’t let go of until you’ve sorted it? If so, then a good English equivalent is “It’s really got under my skin”

      Otherwise, I’ll have to wake the Mrs 🙂

      ….I spent five hours..
      -3 hours to find articles and forums talking about the banjo adjustments on the internet
      -2 hours to adjust it and repair the damage (super glue was fine)

      Final result :
      Perfect neck adjustment and action
      Stays perfectly in tune
      no fret buzz at all

      If you want to hear the different sound of this model :

      Now , training…..recording…….concerts (Nashville, L.A,Sydney…… 😀 )

      I have to say, I like the sound of it.

      I could learn to jam along on my acoustic bass which would help…

      Are you still planning to get another one?[/quote]

      Hi Tim
      I like that kind of sound too but the 5 string model is still better due to the fifth string (or the first?..with a tuner fixed in the middle of the neck) and its particular tune,that offers many possibilities.

      The german website emailed me a few hours ago and they sent a new one to me….good!

      As soon as I get it I’ll send you a few short ideas, ok?

      I have to say, I like the sound of it. I play Bodhran and I find folk sessions can get a bit ‘top-endy’ at times unless you’ve got a guitar chugging along in the background, which must suck for the guitarist. Of course I could learn to jam along on my acoustic bass which would help…

      Are you still planning to get another one?

      ….I finally returned it……why……
      I ordered a beauty : an expensive five string banjo.I received it from germany…..broken!
      I have to pay $70 to return it and the online service never replied to me….

      Hi guys
      Tim : there’s somehing I didn’t tell you.
      I ordered a 5 string model just after reading opinions on a forum more oriented banjo than this one.
      By mistake they sent (first time I order an instrument online!!!) me a 6 string “guitjo”.
      I called the guy who replied that I can return it (no charge of course) but I tried it…the neck is really fantastic (finish and playability, that’s a standard guitar neck) and I love the sound.I finally decided to keep it.
      Incredible special price : $207 iso $539….probably because nobody wanted to play it…. except me.. 😀
      About the tuning I tried one of my own to begin.I’ll post a first sample asap (just need one moment alone at home for recording it) to give you an idea.

      Looks cool, kind of like a guitar with a banjo body. Is it classed as a guitar or a banjo or a Bantar for that matter (I know I’m being a total noob here!)
      Is the tuning/scale lengh like a guitar?
      Everyone round here seems to play the 4-and-a-half string banjos.

      Let us know how you get on.
