Herbie The Rad Dorklift

Thanks guys

I dunno. This may be naive of me but I'm happy to have anything as long as the price reflects it. There could be 2 basses exactly the same quality and playability, one made in USA, one made in China. I would be happy to pay upwards of £1000 for the USA one, but would want the Chinese one for much less because it's cheaper to manufacture things over there. Dunno if I explained that right.

Didn't see this forum before... >.< Bought this from Thom on here, I believe the Gent before him custom ordered it. Plays and sounds like an absolute dream.

I have noticed that volume definitely makes a difference. In short, I'm not really sure what kind of tone I want.. I'm new to bass. I just thought there was maybe something that everyone ALWAYS uses. Like, in my guitar rig I'd always use a graphic EQ pedal, but never thought about it for bass. Are compressors something you'd have on all the time if you had one?

My rig is as follows: Markbass Mini CMD121p Sandberg MM2 That's it! I'm using a Boss TU-2 (Soon to get a Polytune as I prefer it), and use the DI out on the amp. I'm after anything to make my sound "better", so I'm thinking EQ pedal? Compressor? Sonic Stomp? What are your never-leave-home-without pedals? I play in a pop rock band, and I EQ my bass pretty flat at the moment (All dials at 12 o'clock on the amp, the 2 filter knobs off for now as I haven't experimented with them, both humbucker pickups on the bass and flat bass EQ).

Got his today from ThomBassmonkey, was also owned (and custom ordered) by another member here. Sandberg MM2. It sounds bloody lovely with my Markbass....

Hiscox arrived this morning from Reidy's. Top service and overnight delivery.

I've messaged the guy about the Hiscox, no reply as of yet!

I'm looking at these two: [url="http://www.dv247.com/cases/skb-1-skb-fb4-shaped-standard-bass-case--42256"]SKB[/url] [url="http://www.dv247.com/cases/hiscox-std-ebs-electric-bass-guitar-case--25567"]Hiscox[/url] Ideally, I'd like one of those fancy tweed looking ones (Like the Fender), but they aren't molded to fit the bass. Wouldn't it move around? How are these compared to the Fender ones: [url="http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/music/typeproducts2.asp?id=6297-3980&ref=base"]Tweed case[/url] Many thanks.

I can't try one, which is annoying, but that cream/shell 5 string looks hella nice.

I don't know much about bass outside the usual suspects, and I came across this brand just today. The Apeiron H5: It looks wonderful, and the price is alright too, £1450. Now, how would this compare (build wise, I understand sound is subjective and all that) to a Fender 5 Jazz at £1413: Or my dream bass, a Musicman Stingray 5 double humbucker at £1700ish. Is the clover up to scratch build quality wise against these 2 USA basses? How do the parts compare? How does it sound? My bass amp is a Markbass Mini CMD121p. Thanks to anyone who can help
