ive been looking at dingwall bass's and they sound amazing. But i dont fully understand the purpose of fanned frets.
Whatever they do they look rather cool

I actualy quite like p bass slap tone :L
But I wouldn't call it modern

I use a Mansons gig bag, very sturdy and great protection. Comfy straps too.

Haven't tried the neon's but Hi beams are simply amazing, great bright tone from the packet, and i've had mine on for over 7 months and they aren't anywhere near dead yet.

Calm down guys, its only a debate about fenders
I would much prefer a custom made Overwater/Shuker over a fender that has no features above a normal fender. In fact i'm sure you could get a Precision or jazz from either one that has better build quality.

I wouldent rule out another Ibby, I'm looking up a sr1400 premium

Ahh good point, oh and I dont mean to sound sarky im just a bit confused

[quote name='Johnston' post='1167648' date='Mar 18 2011, 09:04 PM']The Pino comes out of the custom shop does it not??[/quote]
Yes, but even if it's handmade I fail to see how its price can be higher than other handmade bass's like shuker's

Ive always been a tad confused as to why the MIA fenders are so expensive, when they have basicly the same conponents as the MIJ models. And as oposed to other brands they are very expensive.

For example, why does this cost 2000 pounds more than a MIJ p bass?

One little saying i heard was, "Made in mexico fenders, made in mexico by mexicans, Made in america fenders, made my mexicans in america"

[quote name='voxpop' post='1160917' date='Mar 13 2011, 07:53 PM']Hi there,
Can you give us a few clues as to what bass and style of music you play and what cab you use.[/quote]
Ooh righty ho. i play alot of slap/ funk, but also some rock/metal kinda stuff. i havnt got a cab, so i'm buying one with the head. Probably a 2x10
im not playing massive gig's so the power doesnt need to be massive.

im looking at buying a new amp as my little marshal has recently died. im going to do it properly and buy a mid range amp.
ive played through the TC electronic classic 450 and i loved it, but unless i can get it second hand it's a tad expensive. i havnt tried ashdown abm's or trace elliots. Any opinions on these?

Thanks in advance

i would love to sell you an EMG circut, however i dont have one, maybe you should ask the OP

Hey folks, just turned my teeny 30 watt and the voloume was reaaly load and it was distorting under the lowest voloumes. i can safely rule out my bass as it's fine through other amps.

The basic circuit's been added to, I think theres a pick up selector in there.
You'd probably have to be able to make sense of the circuit diagram to be able to install it.
Do you know someone who could?[/quote]
Well the bass it would be going into is a cheapo bass with jazz type pickups with two voloumes and a tone.

I'm very interested in the EMG circuit.
Does it require much soldering? (I'm totally useless at soldering)

That sir, is fantastic.

i have alot of free time lined up in the summer so i thought i'd start a project to keep me busy. i would realy like to make my own bass. i know it wont be that amazing but as long as it makes an alright sound i'll be happy. My budget wont be high at all (under £200)
Where do i start?
Basswood seems to be a good choice of wood as it's cheap and i've heard its nice to work with.

This is a slightly insightfull vid.
i have my eye on a pj jazz.

im interested in all of these at the mo. i tried the classic 450 a couple of weeks ago. it sounded amazing.
Havnt tried the MB or Hartke yet though.

ibanez has my vote. Very thin neck's and the BTB's will definately not look small on you.

i've always loved ibanez bass's. My btb is perfect for me. But i was looking at the higher end ibanez range, and there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of choice. Anyone out there have or has tried out any of the £1000 plus models?

Very smooth sound and nice playing

Oh my, that looks fansastic!
Why on earth would you want to sell that?
