[/quote] Yeah, rehearsal?! I don't think so, you never phone, you never email, OMG and all the other Basschatters in Offtopic are talking about us. They don't say anything to me but I can tell. The silences when I log in... ...the blank looks in their emoticons... ...the hushed typing behind our backs... ...silverfoxnik are you using... ...another web forum?!!

custom basses with super expensive options lists that make having anything other than the basic model outrageously expensive to buy.

[quote name='foal30' post='270711' date='Aug 27 2008, 01:33 AM']someone got a bargain yesterday. Trade Me (New Zealand's ebay) T-Bass 5 string for $850 I think that is roughly 330 pounds.[/quote] wow good score

I've found necks usually bend most under 10-14th frets. If yours is bending most somewhere else, you might have a problem the truss rod can't fix. you can sort the intonation out by comparing the plucked harmonic to the fretted 12th fret note using a tuner. The closer they are to one another, the better the intonation.

lol yeah, I liked Ren and Stimpy. I have a magic nose goblin collection under my office desk tooooo. :blush: I'm also into Red Meat, any cartoons that are on the dark side of funny. When I can find a pic of Stinky, I'll change my avatar.

Hello all, i was a member of bassworld and based in London but now work in Dubai in the construction industry. I joined a while ago I've been a bit busy so haven't posted much. I sold my Boogie Buster combo before I left so don't have an amp at the moment, Dubai doesn't have many musical instrument shops either so not sure what I'm going to do. Still have my Stingray 5 string though. There's a good expat music scene here with a few people from companies forming bands and doing hotel gigs. Things have to quieten down for Ramadan though so it'll be dead for the next 4 weeks out here. Guess I'd better get back to work now.

nice and smoove! is that a jazz on both the parts?

/if your gonna trash it, why bother owning it? ppl buy those instruments to appreciate them don't they?

3 min bass solo!

Stingray 5s have some nice bevelled edges! A lot of these older slabby body shapes were developed within the manufacturing limitations at the time. It takes some 3D scanning and a 3D CNC carving machine to whack out the curvy Warwick/Spector body shapes cost effectively. I love lamp.
