[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1482060283' post='3197241'] Nah Another fender https://instagram.com/p/BN19DSHDw9m/ [/quote] Good work, so he's 100% gigging an active MM setup live now, strangely I've seen them loads of times and his live sound was the best I've heard!

Red hot chili peppers, the butthole surfers.

I think maybe they can't hear the band, if you think the clapping and flapping is in time with the music I wouldn't be looking to join something like an AC/DC covers band! As I said before I'm not saying the band is out of time with each other and I can hear the count but the fact the guys sat next to them are not nodding along tells me all I need to know, too busy for me.

I think that LA Lakers one is a Modulus?

Those xotics are excellent. 55-01 still very nice, I was specifically after a jazz or I think I'd have bought one too instead of my Fender.

I enjoyed that

I'd certainly be VERY interested in a sparkle finish 5 string version of some kind, I like fenders, I like jazz basses, I like musicman pickups especially in the musician sweet spot, and I like silver basses. Looks a fairly simple cost effective bass to build too as they have 4 and 5 string Jazz basses out there already, I'd want the US neck on the five though.

Yes it's the silver one he is using, that is the one they should put into production imo, 4 and 5 strings please.

Seen the clip now, it's the pink one he's not used since it came out, lol. chilipeppersvideos was where she found it, he's wearing a bee keepers outfit

Asking on a forum full of people dedicated to the existing 17.5mm spaced one probably wasn't the best place to start!

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1481997248' post='3196897'] I did a search and all there were were a few hokey live photos of him playing a Jazz Bass shaped bass with a MM pickup on it. It could have been silver or pink. That's how good those pics were. [/quote] There's a video clip I believe,I'll report back.

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1481993937' post='3196866'] I was following him on Instagram but his account isn't active anymore. Do you know whereabouts this was posted? [/quote] She follows theredhotchilipeppers I think?

There are different songs for different moods that's the trouble, if I'm in the mood for some Paramore I probably wouldn't enjoy the Gary Karr stuff at that moment.

The Mrs sent me a picture of Flea from Instagram promoting his new fleabass, I haven't got instagram, is it the FenderRay that he's actually been using does anyone know?

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1481975910' post='3196691'] I have experience in selling to large resellers. I know how they work. From Thomanns POV they sell instruments. They accept returns. If an instrument is returned they have a system for this and they don't lose money as they will have agreements with their suppliers. With a large seller, as soon as you want to do something outside of their system you are on your own. Their system can't handle it. The people yout talk to in customer services aren't allowed to make decisions about what might make sense. So you HAVE to work with them in ways they can operate. [/quote] This is what I think too, hence my early post regarding the person receiving the emails possibly not playing an instrument at all never mind the complexities of intonating a fretless jazz bass. This week they are selling instruments,next week it could be food or fire engines or houses!

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1481974844' post='3196678'] Yeah never heard of that model (not that I'm a Lakland connoisseur), but looks great! Si [/quote] I am surprised we don't see more and the 55-14 looked like a great deal (although the red one in guitar-guitar Birmingham didn't do it for me), I can't see any of those anywhere!

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1481974122' post='3196668'] Well there's the rub I guess. Clearly not as popular a requirement as appears from forums. [/quote] Ah but would it be if it was an EBMM model? will we ever know,will Big Poppa ever try it to find out?

A master class in stamina,intonation groove,tone, technique, dynamics covering a few genres from classical to funk? 8 mins worth spending IMO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bJu2owDM2E

[quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1481967010' post='3196573'] That Sharay clip blows me away everytime ! well i would find it very hard to narrow it down to a favourite but just cos i'm feeling jazzy this morning ...this [media]http://youtu.be/yI-1sq5dFD4[/media] [/quote] Ray Brown would say, "get a moustache like mine,man up and get some proper Spirocore strings and use the sides of your damn fingers!"

There used to be a better visual clip to this piece but it has gone from youtube but I love this piece, great player! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G9MZkftuHs

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1481973785' post='3196664'] No solid beat to groove to.????? I find it really hard to understand you think that. Different horses I guess. [/quote] It is fine as a musician, we can hear the count, why are the audience drifting so far in and out of time with it? watch it again and TRY not to listen to the bass part but watch it as a audience member.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1481968566' post='3196595'] The best band that has ever recorded music, with Tom Barney on the thunderous SR5. I get the feeling Ernie didnt design the SR5 for slap, but fingerstyle/pick groove playing. The necks are so easy to get around. [media]http://youtu.be/ffmpi5zmphU[/media] [/quote] Excellent, I love the way you get the bottom end and the top end with them, you can get a bass with the bottom, or the top but rarely both!

Stonking, 35" inch Stingray with wide spacing, just what so many people say they want so I don't understand why these are not more popular?

The fact they have been used in every genre of music with great success suggests the bass is as versatile as it's operator

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1481967435' post='3196577'] That and the hideous pick guard ☺ [/quote] The Classic looks like a regular Stingray until you spot the extra string, the neck is probably about the same width as an SR4 too!
