It'll get regularly cleaned & checked over for just a small monthly fee. [/quote] I opened the thread as general discussion, not specifically for myself but I will keep in mind that there is a storage bay

Hi BCers, As many people have more than one basses or they go abroad for work etc for a long time, I thought it would be helpful for everybody to discuss about this. BCers who have knowledge about this issue should explain us the right way of keeping the basses we don't use. neck and body separated? strings on/off? truss-rod loosen? etc. Give us some info please.

[quote name='Kes' post='1330544' date='Aug 7 2011, 12:12 AM']Hey all, I've been playing bass for around 5 years now (a couple of cover and originals bands) and my current bass (Ibanez GSR200) is about 4-5 years old... i've been playing around with lots of different basses recently trying to find a nice upgrade... The things i'm looking towards atm is a 5string (due to playing bits of light metal and rocky stuff and wanting to play around with a 5 string for a change) and looking at the SR range - i just have 2 questions about it.... 1. the body type seems to be the only difference in the range... ash/mahogany etc. is there much difference aside from that? (any preferences) 2. while I can afford the ~£500 price tag i'm also looking around for 2nd hand ones. which as they're older wouldn't have the new mid range frequency select switch. Would i be missing much? is it worth buying new at all if i shop around (mostly on here) for a well looked after one. Thanks for any replies constructive or trolling... Kes.[/quote] For that price range you can find used SR's high models. If you want a new bass I would suggest you to look at ATKs as you cannot go for brand new high end SRs. They are very versatile and suits most of the styles. I own an ATK and used to have SR (not high end though). I would say the neck of SRs are great (probably the best and easiest to play for my little hands). However, having comparing the versatility, the ATK is way better than the SR (again, for me). It would be great to have SR's neck on ATK I also suggest you to check second hand warwicks on the form. You can find a good one in your price range. Good Luck, G

Sold Federico my Jazz Bass years ago. Good communication, cash payment. He is a great guy to deal with. It was pleasure to meet you Fede.

Traded my spector + some cash to his warwick $$ years ago. It was pleasure to deal with him. He is kind and great guy to deal with.
