Ibanez Roadgear 300 (RD 300 RR) in red. I bought in the middle of 2005 from Nevada Portsmouth for about £150 plus £54 for the case. Been regularly gigged in those years, so the usual road wear and tear. There only two fairly major damage's are a small fingernail sized ding on the headstock and a missing inlay on the 12th fret. Really good first gigging bass Reason I'm selling it is to fund my BTB 770 which I've already purchased with money I don't really have!! Kinsman hard shell case. Very sturdy and has travelled alot in cars and vans, so it has cosmetic damage to the outside, but all the locks work and the inside is still in really good condition. Unfortunately I cannot find the keys. Strap is a good padded strap - can't remember what make, but wasn't a cheapy one. Am looking for[b] £100 [/b]all in. If its local - I'll deliver for a milege- I'm in Portsmouth, If you want to collect I can setup my amp and you're welcome to try her out. Not really looking to ship to be honest. Rather exchange face to face I've attached a few small pics so you can see what is looks like, but will take some more asap, including ones of the headstock, the missing inlay (although you can just about make it out in the pics I've attached) Will also take some pics of the case as well.

[quote name='Machines' post='1198262' date='Apr 13 2011, 03:18 PM']Did it say anything else was included ? If not, then what else were you expecting ? Personally i've never bought an instrument new that was anything but the bass.[/quote] Didn't say anything at all. Dunno what I was expecting really. I'm sure with my first bass I got a bag with truss rod tool, manual and some other bits Just thought i'd ask on here first before looking like a prat asking for stuff that I wasn't entitled too. Cheers

Bought a new Ibanez btb770 from Dv247 plus a hardcase. It arrived with just the bass in the hardcase in a packing box. Should there have been anything with it? Manual, tools etc.. Don't want to hassle the company if there shouldn't have been anything with it Regards

Thanks loads to all the replies. I got a Ashdown C210-500 combo and just very recently (Monday) purchased a new Ibanez btb770. (haven't used it yet), but myu bass i've been using was an ibanez GSR300. I would say my strap is pretty much in the middle to be honest. I know a few people who used to teach so I'm going to try and tap them up for a few lessons. Cheers for all your help people. Lots of practising ahead me thinks!!

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1197021' date='Apr 12 2011, 04:52 PM']There's nothing wrong with using a pick. As a versatile bassist you should explore all the available techniques for getting a usable sound out of your instrument. It's best to use the technique which produces the most appropriate sound for the song, rather than because a song is easier to play with that technique at the expense of tone. Also nothing wrong with turning your amp up to compensate for different plucking methods.[/quote] I totally agree. Unfortunately it is too easy for me to use a pick. I Just think I need to start learning how to play using my fingers to be a better bassist and be more versatile.

[quote name='razze06' post='1197000' date='Apr 12 2011, 04:35 PM']It's probably to do with how you pluck your strings. If you tend to pluck them by effectively bending them towards the body of the bass and then releasing, you're likely to impart more force on the lowest string. Your index/middle fingers can travel a lot further, as there are no obstacles (strings) to stop them. On the other strings, you'll have to change the movement, producing less vibrations. Try anchoring your thumb on the pickup or somewhere similar, and plucking from there. You could get a more consistent movement across the strings. Someone with more knowledge will be along shortly, I hope...[/quote] Thanks. I'll give that a try. Anyone else feel free to add any tips or anything. Ta

[quote name='mcgraham' post='1196987' date='Apr 12 2011, 04:24 PM']Just turn your amp up. You can get a lot more output at a given volume level with a pick than you can with your fingers, so just turn up to compensate... it is the [i]electric [/i]bass after all![/quote] True... Just strange that the bottom E string I can get a good punchy sound, but the other 3 strings I can't seem to get the same attack

Basically I've been playing bass for about 5 years because a mate of mine needed a bassist. I was an average chord basher guitar player before so always used a pick. Have been trying to move away from always using a pick as I feel that it is restricting my speed to play better and more complicated riffs. Here lies the issue. In comparison to using a pick I can't get a decent level of volume when I play anything except the E string using just my fingers! Feel like a complete prat!! Any tips and anything would be a great help. Cheers

I'd listed 3 amps I was interested in and he just said he had exactly the amp I was looking for - set alarm bells ringing straight away when he didn't mention which one it was. I deleted the PM unfortunately - think it came in yesterday (maybe day before).

[quote name='thebeat' post='531169' date='Jul 2 2009, 10:22 PM']I struggled to net £1150 for mines earlier this year and it was an immaculate, colour of the year model, in Monty Brown...credit crunch wont be helping. Nice bass though.[/quote] Also doesn't help that loads of places are doing 10% deposit and 9 months interest free on instruments . A brand new Ricki is only £170 deposit and £170 a month.
