    Ibanez & Yamaha 5 Strings

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    mine is awesome, very solid B and the neck stays in tune exceptionally well, i didnt play my bass for about 3 months and took it out at the weekend and it only needed a minor tune up, though not the cheapest in their range

    Bassists you like in genres/band you don't

    Claypool is the bomb, Primus bit hard work ��

    Primus - Annoying self conscious 'weirdness' sets my teeth on edge. Also, Rush covers. I just don't see the appeal, but I'd be an idiot to say Les Claypool isn't a great player.

    Gypsy woman by Crystal Waters, shoot me now
    pretty much all the self obsessed up it own ar$e ego trip bland as you f***ing like rap crap that is around, i like some of the early rap but this modern i'm so great and more imortant than you sh*te is just er well sh*te, think i need a valium just thinking about it
    also all the dross that get played on our works music system, i'm banned from playing my stuff so what do i know :lol:

    oh and Teenage Kicks, arrrrrghggghhh...!!! and i have to play it in our band, ive complained and do everytime we play it but its just rubbish

    Which one was the hardest song you have learned and why?

    yep agree with alot of these
    Number of the beast took a while but i eventually got the stamina to play it, Run to the Hills is similar with its relentless galloping

    and on the subject of stamina Hysteria was a nightmare, i would get horrible cramps in my right forearm and it took a long time but its getting to be enjoyable (eventually)

    always wanted to play sir duke but just dont think i'm good enough, just had a look at it on songsterr and it starts off ok and get progressively harder :blink:

    pretty much all amp manufacturers do this, they state the highest power the amp can deliver but its generally at 4ohms and most people only buy one cab which will be rated at (generally) 8ohm which as stated gives you about half to two thirds of the power. Combos are just like having one cab so they run at 8ohms.

    Your Bass doesn't 'suit' the band...

    i cant afford multiple instruments to fit certain types so they get what ive got, anyway i'd play what i'm most comfortable with as that way the band will sound better for it (less mistakes etc)
    would have thought something different from the 'norm' would suit prog nicely but like lozz says there are extremes but the attitude isnt in that category

    About 16mm, so good for me. I like tight spacing although being so used to 18mm ish on the 4 strings it takes some getting used to.

    bit like ibanezs so i know what you mean. very nice collection though

    Ibanez SR1300?

    well worth the money, even brand new, the build quility is that good, the nordstrand big singles are great sounding pickups and the necks are a dream.
    you cant go wrong new or used. (i went new but then i have no intention of moving this one on)

    I hate new strings!!

    I've had a set of Elixirs on my Sire for a couple of months now and they sound [i]perfect[/i]. Nice rounded fundamental tone, but plenty of snap and zing when slapped, pulled or digging in.

    love elixirs, and i leave them on for months with no decernable loss in tone. (though i dont play that much at the moment) worth every penny as they are rather expensive

    Gig Bass order of merit.....

    Ibanez SR1805 NTF used for everything and it can do pretty much anything i need
    Ibanez SR500 as a back up, doesnt really get a look in

    thats it apart from a Squire Affinity Jazz if i fancy a change but it basically stays on the wall
