[quote name='Golchen' post='798390' date='Apr 7 2010, 09:41 AM']Pretty much what I was thinking. I bet they feel yuk to play over, and some of them don't look straight to me on the pix, which looks uber cheap! Pass ...[/quote] Actually, I have some of these and they are unnoticeable to play over. They are also neat, well cut and straight....

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='796878' date='Apr 5 2010, 07:51 PM']What are the Axe basses like to play? I mean in terms of weight and balance?[/quote] Weight is reasonable on both... though balance on the Kramer one is a little neck heavy.... Both sound great though!

[quote name='ashevans09' post='797926' date='Apr 6 2010, 07:29 PM']Haha, my second Euro arrived today![/quote] Need pictures or we don't believe you!

Bumping for our April & May gigs.... [b]Fri 16th April - Glasgow 'Renfrew Ferry'[/b] (this is one of our fave gigs!) - Apparently this show is almost 'Sold Out' so if you're considering coming along please get your tickets soon! [b]Sat 17th April - Barnsley 'Birdwell'[/b] (first visit to this venue so any support would be appreciated!) [b]Fri 7th May - Manchester 'Ritz'[/b] (Rock Radio 2nd B'day party.... with support from tributes to Guns n Roses, Iron Maiden & Metallica) Hope to see some of you there! *UPDATE* - Apparently our Glasgow gig is almost 'Sold Out' so if you're considering coming along please get your tickets soon!

Either of those would be an improvement

Never tried one, but this model has an excellent reputation. Apparently it can produce some really trad double bass type tones (thanks to the soundholes) as well as more modern fretless tones.... You can't go wrong with the build quality either so methinks you scored a winner!

Stick with the ReBop and take time getting used to the neck. If anything, trying to find the 'speed' on it will only improve your technique

Sorry Rhys, the Hamer Impact is a VERY rare model & it took me years to find one at a good price. It won't be leaving me anytime soon Yep, big props here too for the original 70's Ibanez PS10. A superb guitar, better build & sound than any Les Paul IMHO!

That's one in my GAS list...

[quote name='ashevans09' post='791377' date='Mar 30 2010, 11:59 PM']That sunburst one is my dream spector! Got my first Spector from Cetera and it's absolutely incredible (bought his Euro LX zebrano), trumped my MTD at the moment, it's just amazing. I love these basses. [b]Will post photos tomorrow night because hopefully by then I'll have another Euro in the house![/b] [/quote] You'll never steal my Spector crown!! You hear me?!?! Never!!!! Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!!

That sounds like a Legend5 from 2004-2006. See here: [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/NewFilesNew/modelhistory_new.html"]Spector model history[/url]

Congrats! I'm glad someone bought that bass..... great bass & a great price

Lol! If I beat you to it.... just remember that you'll always have the bigger/better 'fence'!

Depends what type of music you like..... if it's metal (or similar) then they were probably using their EMG loaded basses through some sort of Sansamp (e.g. Bass Driver) to give that high-mid 'grind' sound...

[quote name='wmsheep' post='785884' date='Mar 25 2010, 03:50 PM']All I can really say about Ross Valory`s effects can be summed up by QUOTE One of the innovations that Valory uses (it is not known if he is the inventor) is to string a four-string bass with the bottom four strings of a 5-string set. Thus, instead of the usual E-A-D-G arrangement, his bass is strung as B-E-A-D. This adds the five string depth to the songs, while allowing the quick fingering of a four-string neck. found that on wiki, so not sure about it`s authenticity or accuracy hope that helps[/quote] He does now..... but he always used to set his bass up with standard strings/tuning.... On this track it's probably either a Peavey T-40, a Steinberger XL or more likely an Ovation Magnum he is playing.... through a Chorus pedal with plenty of mids in his EQ...

I've always thought that one of those would fit in VERY nicely in my collection too! I've been keeping my eyes open for the last couple of years but they're rare as hens teeth!

Sadly, nowhere in Denmark St. I'd recommend the Gallery in Camden & that's about it for London....

Glad to be of service..... Not sure how this band flew under the radar as I'm sure they'd be very popular with fans of everything from Steely Dan - Doobie Brothers - Kansas - Yes - Alan Parsons Project etc etc Enjoy, one and all

Those Tech21 heads are superb.... NICE!

[quote name='Clarky' post='782866' date='Mar 22 2010, 10:34 PM']Been looking through again, cetera, and your black fretted 'Geddy' spec Wal is my fave. Gorgeous[/quote] Cheers mate..... it's strung with very light gauge 'Funkmaster' strings like Geddy used which is kinda interesting for me as I've always used 45-105's.... It plays beautifully & has a cracking tone!
