[quote name='charic' post='1267066' date='Jun 13 2011, 10:40 AM']I'm thinking some daddario chromes [/quote] Iv never used daddario before what are they like?

Personally I would go with lessons, I started trying to teach myself but it wasnt gona happen even though I have been playing electric basses for a going on 4 years and i was getting no where with the double bass, then iv started getting lessons and they teach you to adapt your electric bass skills to use on a DB and iv made massive improvements since and the lesson I get aint too bad I pay £16 an hour. And when you have the basics down (which if you been playing other basses you will find you will pick up DB skills pretty fast) you can then go off on your own more but I would highly recommend lessons to start.

Heres my TRB 5II I bought a few days ago [attachment=82539:DSC_0054.jpg] [attachment=82537:DSC_0056.jpg] [attachment=82536:DSC_0050.jpg] I love these things they are built like tanks and they sound and feel amazing.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1266616' date='Jun 12 2011, 08:55 PM']Are going to have to get a new profile with a different user name? Is it neck through? Either way great buy, and the price is a bonus! I'm gassing for a TRB1006J / TRB 6II ! Though am on a bass buying ban and i need a new amp and i'm skint, but just looking won't hurt... [/quote] Lol i never thought of that you have a good point =P And no its bolt on (which to be honest I favour) i find i have more stability with bolt ons and its built like a tank lol. Yeh i was extremely lucky to come across one in perfect condition and at such a good price too, you never know one day you might get one you could get lucky too =P

Mine was a Gigsby P250 P-Bass cheap and cheerful at the kingly sum of £85 and you know what... it was great it played very well. I still have it and I reckon if I changed the pickups in it it would be a half decent bass.

Exactly i love my 374 it can do anything i need it to do and more its by no means inferior atall

[quote name='famstd' post='1265420' date='Jun 11 2011, 09:49 PM']Very nice. Best of luck with it.[/quote] Thanks im sure it will bring me much joy =D Anyone got any suggestions on what strings I could/should put on it?

Some new porn

Yeh I know what you mean I love Yamaha basses ... as you may of noticed in my signature =P Edit - Any suggestions on what strings to put on it? I love Bass Centre Elites they work amazingly on my RBX 374 but any other suggestions?

/Agree Yamaha BB415 or BB615 or Yamaha RBX375

I love the gold hardware I have been gassing for a TRB for a long time now and I finally got one! From what I read too this one is slightly better than the current TRB 1000 series so im very happy with that =D

Exactly they dont understand! Do you think I got a good bit of wood there for the money? Coz to be honest I think I have.

First of all I would like to say its nice to see you all again since I haven't been on here on quite a while so it will be good to speak to you all again =]. Right next on the list is this sexy beast which i just bought today - Its a 2001 Yamaha TRB-5 II, Its in perfect condition and i mean perfect there isnt a dink or a scratch on it, it plays perfectly its barely been used and the past owner cared for it well. I believe new at the time these were around the £800 mark ... I gave the guy £350 which i thought was the bargain of the century! Any thoughts or comments?

Here is my black bass my beloved BB414.

Welcome Finally someone else from Cardiff! Have a good time here

Yeh I have been looking at the Zoom B2.1 U also I been looking at the Line 6 Floorpod. Can you both use them to record onto your PC?

Im looking to buy a Multi effects board but there are so many to choose from I don't know where to start! I know I don't wana spend the earth on one that's all I know since there are loads out there. Could anyone help suggest any? Thanks.

[quote name='ras52' post='1084868' date='Jan 10 2011, 09:21 PM']OK I gone and done it! Black & white rick en router![/quote] Well done to you! Let us know what its like when you have it, it might be the decider for if I get one too.

Im 19 I have been playing bass for 3 years and been involved in music for about 8 years. Im very open to all offers as I love playing full stop! I have had band experience before but no live experience I am iching to get on stage though! I am very commited and always willing to meet new people and try out different things and ideas :-). Feel free to leave a message here or PM me if you would like to know anymore :-) Thanks. Ben.

I like the tones of a passive bass sounds more natural but I dont dislike active either, depends on the mood I an active bass and passive bass so im covered.

Im pretty sure this is Eric Bass's (bassist for Shinedown) signature bass, He has his in all black and to be fair it looks really really nice like that. Not sure about the blue though it seems a bit....I dont know just doesnt look like it fits.

I hope they are nice to play. Im liking the look of the Jazz AREO2 and the White and Black Riki

Ok cool thanks for the help =]

Yeh im on about the current ones. So if you had to choose between the current Bass Collection basses and the Squire VM and CV basses which would you choose?

Lately iv noticed quite a few Bass Collection basses knocking round. I have had no experience with them and at the moment I am looking into getting a new bass, Iv had my eyes on a few Squires for a while but I thought I would find out what people think of Bass Collection before I make a decision. So what do people think?
