[/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.

Trading my Sterling Ray for Lee's Lakland 5501. Got the Lakland yesterday, speedy postage etc Great guy to deal with

reminded me of this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVQ9UO3EJKk&sns=fb"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVQ9UO3EJKk&sns=fb[/url]

Bought a Rattlesnake Cable Company lead from Kev no problems whatsoever. Really speedy and well packaged! Cheers

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

[quote name='Captain Bass' timestamp='1381430148' post='2239088'] Hopefully I can inspire younger aspiring musicians to NOT pick up drums or guitar as their first instrument and give Bass a good go! :-) Cheers, Andy [/quote] You were definetly one of the people who made me say "I want to be able to do that!" And your videos were the decider for me splashing out on that dirty blonde Warwick!

Can honestly say the worst bass I've played is was a MIM Fender P bass. Everything about it just felt and sounded wrong to me. Body felt clunky and the neck felt really overly chunky and actually uncomfortable to play.

I love them. They just have a very specific sound that I love (especially on the thumb bass). I know the looks are very marmite but I love the shape of the thumb basses, the small body makes it feel extremely comfy to play and mine actually weighs about half of my ray.

I'm always wary of shipping a bass. Only done it once and despite packing it very well (if anything I went to excess!) There was an issue in transit that somehow managed to knock the jack out of place I think. I would always rather do it in person even if buying. Went to manchester (500 mile round trip) a month or so back to buy a bass.

Don't change strings too often (would be changed every 2 months if they didnt cost so much) but both basses will be getting restrung soon. Shall donate them. Also shared the website to wherever I can find is relevant

It was Les Claypool who made me decide "I'm going to to buy a bass". Since then I get some form of influence (more enjoyment than influence really) from so many bass players and artists.

Not a huge fan of how it sounds but technique wise the guys way better than I will ever be and I can appreciate that.
