Anyone tried a 5string and not like them? And why?
neepheid replied to Marvin's topic in General Discussion
Tried a 5 string OLP MM3 - didn't get along with it probably due to the tight string spacing. Also I don't really play things that require a note lower than E1 and changing the "home" position for my right thumb throws me off too. Bah humbug. I might get on better with one with wider spacing, but I've felt no desire or requirement to try. Also, Gibson make precious few 5 string basses, and I don't think I like any of them. -
[quote name='merello' timestamp='1339867233' post='1695666'] Unbelievable price for a great bass. [/quote] You'd think so, but I've had lowball offers on it! -
The bass is now sold. The office bass is dead, long live the office bass

bump!

Thanks for the kind words. Bump!

While it's not possible to accurately measure (or even accurately define) the effect that a certain type of wood will have on the final sound of an electric bass, I'd be surprised if it amounted to 10% - and I'm being generous because it is an unknown quantity and I don't want to put anyone's nose out of joint. Far be it from me to say that anyone is wrong to do so but personally speaking I do not care for the endless, cyclic "discussions" about the minute details of the effects that different woods may or may not have on the sound of a bass. It is as much background noise to me as the effects would be statistical noise, if they ever could be measured - especially when one considers the fact that different cuts of wood even from the same tree never mind the same species won't be exactly the same at a molecular level. It's like nailing jelly to a wall.

Just do it. If you're capable of playing along with your OH then you're good enough to play along with others - and if you're not, the adrenaline and determination to succeed will kick in and you will very quickly be good enough (then be looking around for your next challenge).

I got my RD Artist last September for a smidge under £1100 delivered. And if I had the cash to splash then I'd have an original RD Standard to accompany my Artist, not one of these.

If you can find 'em...

I don't find threads like this are particularly helpful or healthy. You're entitled to consider it banter, just as I'm entitled to consider it bitter, cat-calling nonsense.

Here is my BB family (soon to be broken up though - BB614's for sale) A 1986 BB300 and a 2005 BB614 -

If someone says something nice to you it seems only sensible to thank them - regardless of whether or not you agree with them. File under "mmm, this is delicious" and "thank you for the lovely gift, you really shouldn't have". I always thank them for the compliment and thank them for coming and say how glad I am they enjoyed the show. If it's an actual bass player you sometimes get into a chinwag about gear etc. which is always good fun. I may not be the world's best bass player (and don't suppose I ever will), but at that particular point in time I was the best bass player playing on that stage

I am selling my Yamaha BB614, having replaced it with a BB300 - I prefer to have a passive bass for my office/beater/backup/rough gig/festival bass. It's black with matching headstock, PJ pickups, 3 band EQ (active only), rosewood board, 21 frets. It's in fair condition - the body's not bad from the front but there's quite a lot of buckle rash in the back, nothing through to the wood though. The neck is in good shape, nice satin feel, somewhere between a P and a J neck. A small chip in the top of the headstock is visible, but only if you're looking for it. The stock innards have been replaced with an Artec SE-3 and a new Neutrik barrel jack socket fitted. I can supply the original Yamaha circuit if you want to put it back. A couple of the rubber O rings on the EQ knobs are missing. I'm looking for £125 plus postage for it. Bank transfer preferred.

[quote name='Leon Transaxle' timestamp='1339279526' post='1686399'] Nice job. Where did you get the scratchplate from? [/quote] I think I got it from the states on eBay.

I'd be tempted to try and rescue that if I wasn't about to buy other stuff.

I replaced one with a lipstick strat pickup (whichever one was wound the most), looked really neat and sounded pretty good too: And most recently, had a Fender single coil P pickup put in one.

Another thumbs-up for the HA3500. Used one for a few years with an 8ohm Ashdown ABM410T and then moved to a 4ohm Zoot ZB410. Excellent results with both, but the Zoot is slightly over half the weight of the Ashdown

I have never been in what I would describe as a "bass shop". All we get up here are music shops (read: mostly guitars) with the tiniest of nods to the fact that basses (and bassists) exist.
