Big sunburst? [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/20150105_201850_zps9am97dvx.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/20150105_201850_zps9am97dvx.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

US std Jazz V and Stingray Classic5, the Ray is technically tobacco burst if we are being pedantic [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/20141102_103604_zpseb6n54ip.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/20141102_103604_zpseb6n54ip.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1423148655' post='2681434'] Wrong, it sounds FABULOUS! [/quote] +2 what an awesome sight it was too.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1423169776' post='2681820'] I never have either, nor will I ever. I hate that f***ing song so much, I don't care how good the bass line is. [/quote] Go and sit on the basschat naughty step for 5 minutes!

"My name is Pete, I've never properly tried to learn rhythm stick" there I've said it, I shall give it a go soon I promise. Master Blaster note for note can only be done by Nate Watts, I've cobbled a version together and I've seen hundreds of versions and none compare to the big man imo.

I'm taking a set of rotosounds off my Jazz V that were fitted in december as I'm not really a roto fan, I can post them to you at the weekend if you want them to play around with?, they are a full set of the 66s, Drop me a mail address via pm and they are yours, gratis inc posting, can't say fairer than that, lol.

I've gone from 3 months to 6 months and now probably a year with a battery swap at the same time. I use whatever my pro mate gives me that he gets off his bass tech mate, dean markleys currently, lol

A misery stick mega test meet up Sarah?

Just plug in and fire it up?

Looks awesome now!

I went to a gig at the MEN a few years ago, the speakers were 10s maybe 12s yet I think they would demolish a Barefaced with 15s or even a pair of 18s, there was probably 150 drivers!

They really suit Dougie dont they, I like him and his basses

2 EQ Rays sound epic

I like it!

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1423075385' post='2680419'] With regards gear, if we took the lead from PRO players we'd all be miming with P basses pretending to use Ashdown rigs or when not miming clearly be using in ears :/ [/quote] Fixed?

I've just read the thread and I think his post was a bit snotty then 5imon's "nonsense......." reply hit the destruct button on both sides and there was no way back? No one even asked him if he used a music stand on the Paula Abdul gigs?!

Lol Dad I totally missed the compression thread, damn I never opened it to contribute as I left my compression pedal in the 90's where it belongs, lol. Probably best I dont know who the pro was or who did the baiting then, is there any popcorn left?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1422999874' post='2679483'] You've been stalking me again..! [/quote] I had a hunch it was you from the show us what you look like page, you can tell a lot from a mans eyes and the colour of his breathing tube

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1422998883' post='2679458'] On another forum that I moderate, there was question of being able to have contact with a very big name in the lefty bass world. The forum members were asked "What would you like to ask the fellow..?". There was an embarrassed silence for a while; one or two wanted to know what strings he preferred, another couple "Which bass did you play on that famous song..?". In short, no-one really had any idea as to how to address him with anything more 'meaningful', and the occasion passed by. It's not certain that the points of view of 'names' are really that much in phase with forums at all. There are exceptions, and it's no reflection on either the quality of the forum nor that of the 'name', but I doubt, if there was a Venn diagram, that there'd be an enormous overlap. Just my tuppence-worth. [/quote] What did you expect asking the members of leathergimpsuitschat.com about Macca's bass playing?

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1422997241' post='2679416'] UK company... But cheaper in USA? http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/02/03/ashdown-announces-desktop-b-social-bass-amp/ [/quote] No shipping costs to the UK if they are built there?, are they built there, here or the PRC?

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1422996463' post='2679393'] Maybe they don't have time to be gear nerds AND frequent basschat then? [/quote] That might be nearer the mark! He is a member here actually but how would you know what people are up to anyway unless they posted about it, maybe its the quiet ones with the best gigs?

Ironically I have a pro mate that is the biggest gear nerd I know so I'm not so sure about the idea they don't have time for playing with new gadgets etc.

[quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1422949589' post='2678633'] I don't find lacquered necks sticky at all, but I understand some do. Different strokes for different folks & all that. [/quote] I used to think I did not like a finished neck but then I bought my first pre EB Stingray and it was nice, I now have my Classic5 and that is nice, a US Jazz V and that is nice too so I think it depends on what the finish is rather than finished or not, if its too grippy I just take the edge off with 1200 wet and dry as it can just be polished back to a gloss if you sell it on. My Bass Collection SB320 had a painted neck and that was a bit sticky IMO and possibly what made me try an oiled neck, I have never cleaned or re oiled one yet, the funk is in the gunk etc

One thing I always think about posting then forget to is this, when the science bods get involved here with the "placebo effect" etc what I wonder is if you were blindfolded and only allowed to adjust the EQ by feel and to taste tone wise maybe the actual drivers could produce the whole sonic spectrum hence the science being correct yet if I set say my Shuttle 6.0 head up to my preferred tone then swapped the cabs only would the 12" then be deeper than the 10" and that deeper than the 8" etc etc? I think it would and that is where I think the confusion kicks in in these topics and like I said I have thought about it before then forgot to ask everytime! Now the issue is what does it matter providing you have enough of what you require? My Shuttlemax9.2 head may or may not produce 900watts and the debate will never really be settled but if I only need 350 watts worst case scenario does it matter if its only putting out a real world 750? same goes for treble and bass range, and overall volume produced by the cab arrangement you decide on IMO. I think that makes some sense but I am rambling a bit, Lol.
