A local musics store has a used Peavey TKO80 for sale.  I haven't seen it
myself; the salesperson says it's in very good shape.  They want $169 for
it.  It this a decent price or should I be able to talk them down some?

I'll be using it to play alternative rock and roll, so the high end
response doesn't concern me much {I've heard that these 15" Peavey's don't
do real well with the higher frequencies}.  It has the standard speaker;
no black widow or anything like that.  I'll be using it for both practice
and playing small clubs.

Thanks for any responses.

After a too-long hiatus from the net, I have returned!
It appears that I will have the opportunity soon to sit-in with a reggae
band.
I understand that the basic of reggae bass emphasizes the upbeat instead
the
downbeat, but are there any other stylistic elements I should be aware of
that 
would help me perform well within a reggae context? Or is it more a matter
of
just feeling the sand between my toes, the sea-breeze in my face,the smell
of ganja and jamming it out? The lead singer said that they have had three
bassists in the past and each had a different style: one guy was very roots
reggae, one guy had a jazz background and his playing reflected that, and
one guy had a funk background and did a lot of thumping. The singer felt
that they all worked  well within the context of the sound even though they
all had
different styles. I guess I'm just looking for some hints, so that
hopefully
I won't look like a fool! :-) 
I currently have a full-time rock project so that's my background. When I
started teaching myself bass, I naturally gravitated towards a sort of open
style, so I feel I could do reggae without too much difficulty. But any
suggestions would be appreciated ...

Once again, if you would please post to the net, as my e-mail address is my
boss'!

The song "Tommy The Cat" is almost all slap.

The other pop one, "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" is almost all tap.

other than that he is up to his usually wierd greatness.

I think ftp is supposed to be case insensitive, but my version on my
DECstation isn't, so maybe yours isn't either.  I don't know a whole lot about
it, but try using upper case letters.  To ask ftp what you can do, type a

The new issue (Nov. '92) of Guitar Player features a set of articles on slide
guitar and interviews with Ry Cooder, Johnny Winter, Wayne Haynes, Paul

Condition would be a better word to use than quality.

 Hammering with a thick pick will need more height than strumming with a thin
pick. I lowered my sadle AND the thingie near the head (fret 0?) on my 12 string. 
I use VERY light strings (smallest is a .008) and use a _thin_ pick. It is very 
comfortable and doesn't buzz, at least when I play it.

Actually, you are MUCH better off to go to a quality guitar store and ask for
a sadle blank made out of bone and shape the bone to your existing sadle. Then
make height adjustments to the new one and keep your old plastic one to fix it
when you get in trouble and your guitar sounds like crap.

Fret jobs are not cheap or fun to do. If you gotta do that much work to the guitar
you'd be better off going out and getting a good one. If you take too much off of 
your new sadle then go get another blank and try again. $2 for a sadle blank is
a lot cheaper than replacing your frets after you "file" them down too much. See
below...

If you glue in a fret, how will the guitar repairperson get it back out to replace
it when you've ground it down too much? Rosewood (your fretboard) is very soft. 
Wont it get damaged if you use glue on it?

A little judgemental, are we?  High action ! => worse action.  The action
on acoustic guitars is higher because the strings are heavier and require
more clearance.  If you don't mind a little buzz or don't play hard, you
can safely lower it.  However if you want to sit and hammer out rich, 
powerful rhythm guitar there's no substitute for heavy strings and action
to fit.

By the way, we should take this out of the tab group.

Or it may be that they don't care, and have better things to do.  I know
that Usenet (specifically this group and rec.music.country.western) has
caused me to spend a lot of money that I wouldn't have otherwise, by
introducing me to new music.  A number of people who have asked for my
Indigo Girls music that I typed in have asked me where they could get the
songbooks from, or they've said that after playing some music on their
guitar, they want to buy a CD, and they ask me which one to get.  In short,
they may recognize what we're doing as a sort of "free advertising."

Hopefully.
