maybe for the same reason you can put frying oil on a Diesel car.... it will work but on the long run it damages the car no idea, just seems like a probable reason

ahahaha thanks xgsjx, i promise that if you point me to a cheap clone i wont EVER come back to this part ^_^

The Melvins bass player plays a Squier in every gig

i played with a very old Jazz Bass (seed avatar) a few days ago and it felt it was made for my hand to fit perfectly, never played a Precision but I do feel that if the neck is any bigger it might not feel as good untune, what do you play at the moment?

and then again having a second look it might be wrong... better if you check youself here [url="http://vintageguitarpro.com/serialyamaha.shtml"]http://vintageguitarpro.com/serialyamaha.shtml[/url]

a 1978 BB2000

having no idea how much those measure are, my hands are 18cm, so now you can sort of compare

Yeah, The Melvins are great theyve been around for 25 years. thanks for the help, lets see if anyone has anything else to say

hi, being new to playing i cant really identify what effect is used on the bass, can anyone help me out? thanks [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UV6mvTicqY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UV6mvTicqY[/url]

i play with a single finger and in a single string, i do believe i need more practice then theory, but yes, theory is very important i believe i only there was anyone in this island willing to at least guide me, i dont go as far as teach cause that is time consuming but at least set me in the right path... living in an island just sucks at times...

Whereabouts on the island do you live?[/quote] good to hear that, i live in Caniço, halfway between Funchal and the airport

Ive been playing for a month, so i guess im a beginner too

Hey there guys, forgot to introduce myself, I'm Paulo from Madeira Island, Portugal. Been playing bass for around 1 month with a band and came here because I need to buy my own gear now. I hope for a long and enjoyable stay and to learn alot, so if any of you know of any learning resources feel free to throw them my way Ive been looking at a Yamaha RBX374 and at a used Peavey TNT100 here in the forum, if I dont get i'll be going with a Backline 110 II HELLO WORLD!

gig bag is only 9.90, the GK 115 is 100€ more than the GK 110 :|

according to the internet the serial number is located on the bridge from 78 to 81, 81 to 84 the neck plate says MADE IN USA, when Ernie Ball bought it the MADE IN USA was deleted

this will come in handy for me

so, got the email back from Thomman and they wont charge shipping so im thinking on going with this setup to get the better bass so that it lasts me longer and a slightly inferior amp. heres the setup: YAMAHA RBX 374 BLK, GALLIEN KRUEGER BACKLINE 110 II, THOMANN GIGBAG2 E-BASS, THOMANN GURT6,4S, CORDIAL CSI 9 PR-SW oh and today I played on a very old Fender Jazz bass on rehearsal and it sounded and felt great

love the industrial look of the Interceptor Bass

[quote name='Mikeg' post='1141196' date='Feb 25 2011, 01:40 PM']+1 on the Yamaha, very versatile bass. And for an amp marshal make very good and affordable combo's. And the best place to find gear IMO is here, you can get great stuff for good prices in the for sale section.[/quote] shipping would kill me
