Runaway by Jamiroquai Crying machine by Steve Vai is also pretty fun!

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1385675598' post='2291121'] So is the only purpose for a ramp is to anchor your thumb any where between the PUPs or does it serve another purpose also? I just wondered as ramps seem to be getting more common place now. [/quote] It helps you to make sure you don't dig in too much as well making poncy jazzy nonsense a bit easier (I think!)

[quote name='Bill' timestamp='1385557775' post='2289575'] I totally agree, you dont want to be wasting money like that, but just so you know the ramp isn't permanently fixed onto my bass, its a double sided tape sort of stuff (but it is ON there) i had the option to have it bolted on but who knows how i'll feel about it in the future, so went with the temporary option, what bass do you have out of interest? [/quote] [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1385558299' post='2289590'] I've seen a pic of the bass and it's a real beaut of a Thumb with a Pj configuration. I'd suggest he makes up a cardboard ramp as a first time test. Tape it in place and try that first. I'm going to be making a ramp for my Ltd ESP jazz, but I've not tried one on a PJ before. [/quote] Dirty blonde thumb bass, it's superb but I always find myself wanting to rest my thumb on the space inbetween the pickups. I'm going to try what Grangur said and see how that goes before I jump into shelling money out

I'm considering getting a ramp on mine actually, never played a bass with a ramp though so I'm not sure about getting one made then not liking the addition, especially when money is this tight for me at the moment.

It's doubtful but it manages to make its way upto Glasgow by the 18th of December I'm playing a christmas gig on that date.

Anything after Systematic Chaos and I haven't been able to get into it in all honesty. I haven't got any strong opinions on their last few albums other than "meh".

Opposite to what Fionn said I'd say my thumb bass is the best balancing bass I've used! Although it isnt the heavier bubinga ones so that may have something to do with it? Worst balancing bass I've used was the Spectorcore 5 string. Probably would have added a new strap button to it but I got rid of it before I had the chance

As an avid metal listener, it completely relies on that band and their sound. I mean there are bands like Rammstein where for the most part bass is inaudable. Then there are bands like Tesseract, Mudvayne, Protest the Hero, The Faceless and Dillinger Escape Plan where the bass actually plays a pretty big role and sometimes is even the actual focal point of the song at times.

Find someone you trust on here, send them the money, they go check it out and buy if legit then send to you. Done this a while ago for someone on here who was buying a pedal from Gumtree
