    i personally prefer the 3 eq, as i mess with the mids knob quite alot, certainly more than i touch the bass knob. However if i was buying new, id probably choose the 2eq, as the extra money you would spend getting a 3eq you will never see again, but i would never buy new

    the standard guitar version is a beast on bass, so i can only imagine how good this must sound

    Personal Address system, used by bands in gigs. They are in simple terms speakers being controlled by a mixer. Ever wondered why a singer and drummer don't have amps?? what in particular do you want to know about them?

    VAT 15%

    Kev replied to markytbass's topic in General Discussion

    shops will reduce the tax to 15% until xmas, and then will raise there prices by 2.5% in january, effectivly making the tax reduction redundant

    awesome price
  7. Kev
    all good advice (well, most), i think i'll just see how it goes and see what cheaper replacement basses there are, i know il regret it, but theres no point in buying a ferrari to drive to work. had several pm's, working through replies now, cheers

    this still available??
  11. Kev
    shame your not closer, seems a very nice bass, gold hardware really works well
  12. Kev
    depends how much i sell the bass with wooden neck for. i should add that the original wooden neck has the original musicman tuners/string tree, whilst the status neck is fitted with unknown tuners/string tree, as i bought it
  13. Kev
    good question really, id guess any 4 or 5 string will be considered, but worth no more than around £300

    You all know the bass. Rare 2001 sparkly 'blue dawn' stingray 5, a discontinued and sought after finish, which has been modded with the addition of a status-graphite neck. As iv said in several places on here, the difference is massive, it totally transformed the bass into probably the best i have played or heard. The neck is beautiful to play, and the added growl and punch is awesome. Sounds to me how a stingray should sound The bass is in great condition, very little surface scratching, and only 2 dings worth mentioning on the top horn, not visible from front or even back. Apart from the odd small scratch the neck is mint. Comes with the original case and strung with few month old elixer's, and il include a strap and battery. I still have the maple/rosewood wooden neck for those who refuse to accept carbon is better:P That neck is also mint condition. Prices: Stingray with status neck: [s]£850[/s] now £800 including shipping Stingray with original neck: [s]£800[/s] now £750 including shipping Stingray with both necks: [s]£950[/s] now £910 including shipping Pickup would be best really, i would adjust the prices accordingly. No trades of equal value please, as said im looking to downgrade. Il happily consider a bass of lower value as part trade. Lets try n keep this thread clean please Pics: And wooden necked...

    i love that his description pretty much says his 30th anniversary is so much better than it he would never use the sub ever, but yet he tries to say it in a way that makes the sub look good by saying there is no difference between the two?? yup if i had two identical basses and one was worth 3-4 times the other, id obviously keep the expensive one... ah dear

    [quote name='Wil' post='340178' date='Nov 29 2008, 12:24 AM']As Peter so aptly put it in another thread, [b]you can't judge a persons worth based on their actions[/b]. To be honest I find your inability to consider forgiveness under any circumstances disturbing. As for my feelings towards the guy - I don't have any. Why? I've never met him, don't know him, or anything about him besides what I've read on the internet. I won't be buying any basses off him, but I'm in no position to judge.[/quote] and that should best be said in Mickey Mouse's voice

    [quote name='dangerboy' post='340130' date='Nov 28 2008, 11:17 PM']Just out of interest, BMK, have you tried black muffs from every year of manufacture? I only ask because the spec has changed fairly regularly, as far as I can tell, and only the ones made in the last year or two before they stopped are green spec. And did you blind ABX them against a green one?[/quote] i have ab'd a 2006 (i think, ebay buy) black russian muff with a civil war muff (very similar to the green muff) and they were not in the same league, the black sounded basicallly cheap and quite brittle in comparison. I downgraded from the civil war to the black to get a bit of cash, and really regretted it. It was also very light and small in comparison which suprised me

    [quote name='Waldo' post='340148' date='Nov 28 2008, 11:43 PM']So let me get this straight. The over sensitive, prissy types in this forum got outraged over BBC's somewhat close to the mark posts, and effectively started a campaign to have him banned and succeeded. So now, a member steals a large ammount of money from someone half way across the world, thinking that he can get away with it and then decides to rectify the situation four months later after trying to cover his tracks, only because he had no choice but to do so. The forum response is to forgive him, blame it on his young foolishness, feel sorry for his 'problems' (which you don't even know exist, happy to take his word on that are you?), say that he shouldn't be banned from here, oh and pay the sizeable shipping costs to get the bass to its original owner for him. Right then.[/quote] its shocking, isn't it?

    [quote name='LWTAIT' post='340087' date='Nov 28 2008, 09:47 PM']id say we forgive jake. he should pay back the fund and then it should be done. i'm not saying forget the matter, i know this is gonna be in my mind whenever i buy from now on, we should all learn from this, and i know i'm not gonna trust jake again soon. but lets not be too hard on the guy, everyone does bad things (im not going to be foolish enough to call it a mistake, he knew what he was doing) sometimes, and provided IncX doesn't want to press charges or anything i for one am happy to let it drop.[/quote] Its people with attitudes like yours that let murders and paedophiles roam free on our streets after a so called 'life' sentance. Attempting to steal that amount of money is not acceptable or forgiveable under any circumstance and yes, of course by me voicing my opinion loudly i am 'hiding something'. Get a grip and wake up to reality guys, people like this are scum, they have the mentality of a thief, have no respect for fellow man, and will not change. And for people saying he will pay back the delivery charge? you must be joking,and i hope him failing to pay the shipping charge will open the eyes of some people on here. However of course if he does turn up with the £200 or so, then il happily withdraw that comment, but it will not change the undying fact that he is a thief.
