    I think the mistake being made here is that we are actually thinking people listen to us. My mum says she listens to me but I its not me she is listening to Come on everyone, don't forget we are bass players. Nobody listens to us or cares about us. We are the destined to be the other one Lets all get back to where we belong before the universe explodes At the back, looking bored or boring, upappreciated and not very important to anything or anyone. See, that makes everything so much better

    Are Stingray necks swapable? Thinking about getting a fretless one for my 2EQ Stingray. Also, do they come up for sale that often?

    [quote name='Mike' post='948026' date='Sep 7 2010, 09:57 AM']Hi guys, need a quick sale on this. People who can pick up preferred - can ship as a last option! An almost mint condition of this bass - and genuinely one of the best I've owned. The reason I am selling is that I play my Sadowsky almost fulltime now and need the money for a Sadowsky 5 - plus precisions don't really figure in my plans. In my opinion, adding a jazz pup to this bass would make it the ultimate passive bass! Here are pics: Price is £575 firm and I am in Chelmsford, Essex (CM2) close to the A12 which is near to M25. I don't mind driving a little way to meet somebody - any further and a few pounds towards petrol would be appreciated. Comes with a soft but excellent Lakland gigbag which has a broken zip (but possibly fixable!) on the pocket. PM or email with any Qs to mikemcgibney AT gmail DOT com. Thanks! Mike[/quote] Old Horse Murphy was looking for one of these. Might be worth dropping him a PM.

    [quote name='BottomEndian' post='947349' date='Sep 6 2010, 04:21 PM']Embedded for you : Yep, that's the fretless Ray tone I love. He obviously loves it a lot too... that's why he keeps a bog roll on the desk as he plays. [/quote] Thanks for that and yes, I may need to get a stock of toilet roles myself. I've listened to that clip about 20 times now in the space of 4 hours.

    Thanks again for all the advice and feedback. Based on budget, I think a Wal is out of my league and rather exessive for my needs. At least for now anyway. I guess top of my list is a Stingray especially after hearing this beautiful, wonderful sounding Ray.

    [quote name='Hamster' post='942363' date='Sep 1 2010, 05:06 PM']I think you'll find that bass was once owned by Mr A Hitler which he played through his Ampeg. It's quite well known the Ampeg was the amp of choice for his entire Panzer AbteilungAmpeg 51 Division (Armoured Attack Ampeg's) which crushed the shoulders of all the inferior lightweight attack amp carrying troops the allied forces were forced to go into combat with.[/quote] Ah but what Hitler did not take into account was the Trace Elliot V (Valve) Rockets which punched a massive hole in the Panzer AbteilungAmpeg 51 Division (Armoured Attack Ampeg's). It was quite a turning point in the war

    [quote name='Sonic_Groove' post='942283' date='Sep 1 2010, 03:59 PM']Since "the enlightenment" I have burned all the records and CDs I had by artists who coned us by using none SVT amps. I realised as a bass player there are a few of us that have previously been foolish enough to use Pods & the like to get the sound we want (I know there is one member here who only uses a Pod for amp duties!). Worry not a few of us are hard at work on the Dave tribute non solid-state SVT bass pod: B[/quote] Brilliant, can't wait for it to be finished. Will it come in Ampeg black?

    [quote name='jakesbass' post='942130' date='Sep 1 2010, 02:25 PM']No, it's the new Ampeg bass has lower notes than any other bass but with lighter gauge strings it's made from the same material as the sun though so it's bit heavy[/quote] Wow thats so cool. The question is, does it sound like an Ampeg or does it sound like a cheap alternative

    [quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='942209' date='Sep 1 2010, 03:10 PM']I've just filled my yawny boring old Eden with heaps of lead shot and some 25 watt candle bulbs - they sort of look like valves, and I've now got the weight right up there. The change in tone is staggering. As are the smoke and sparks pouring from the top vents. Just needs some cardboard to change the outline, a fire extinguisher and then we're done.[/quote] Good effort. You are clearly a trailblazer in these difficult times

    [quote name='jakesbass' post='942081' date='Sep 1 2010, 02:04 PM']Hello Boys... just saying hello cos haven't been around for a while (been busy) and I noticed that most of Basschat was in here anyway here's a nice pic of me playing a really beautiful 200 year old german double bass that was provided by the promoter at my gig in Hamburg over the weekend. I didn't use an amp so sorry for the topic derail [attachment=57893:IMG_0197.jpg] This bass is insured for €30,000 it was a bit heavy but not as bad as an Ampeg [/quote] Whats that in the background, it has 6 strings? Is that a geetar? You bad man, how dare you post that on a bass forum

    It's not been the same for a long time. I've struggled to overcome it and adapt but I just can't do it. For years I was happy but I have just recently been told that what ever I do or have done, it just won't sound as good as if I had an Ampeg SVT head. I now feel a failure, not only to myself but to all my fans who I have subjected them to the non Ampeg SVT tone. How they will ever forgive me. For years they surely were just listening to the bass as all music lovers do and I have clearly led them up the garden path with an inadequate non Ampeg SVT tone. I think its time now to bow out, ashamed and as a failure as a non Ampeg SVT playing bass player. I just hope others can find the strength to carry on with there rubbish sounding Traces, Ashdowns, Genz Benz, Mark Bass etc amps. Be strong boys, think of Blitey and I'll see you on the other side.

    I wonder if this is the same Dave74200 that was selling on Ebay a Squire Precision, a Warwick Bass Combo, a Trace cab, and an Ampeg SVT4 head and an Ashdown ABM head. He said the Warwick sounds lovely and the Ashdown is a professional gigging amp and sounds awesome and you can dial in any tone you want. Any tone apart from an Ampeg one I wonder if he used that along with the Squire when he played to those 10,000 fans. It does say in the advert that the band he was playing in folded. He's also sold about 15 Fender basses and a couple of Stingrays and a couple Ashdown combo. He sure likes Ashdown. Looks like he has been a busy boy. He's also sold a Vauxhall Corsa but alas, no Ferrari

    [quote name='dave_bass5' post='941028' date='Aug 31 2010, 02:57 PM']Ugly, Woolworth guitar looking things.....IMHO of course :-) Great tone though, from what ive hear. A mate has one and i cant stand the look of it but it sounds lovely.[/quote] Give it 6 months and you'll be asking the same questions and looking to buy one :)

    Been slightly interested in the Fender Jaguar but don't really know anything about them. I notice they have a ton of switches on them but again, no idea what they all do. I guess maybe an active passive switch? Anyway, what are they like tonally? Would they make a good alternative to a Jazz bass, being able to create similar Jazz bass tones? What are the necks like as in chunky precision or skinny Jazz etc. Should they be avoided? I kind of like the funky retro look. Any info appreciated

    [quote name='Foxx' post='938731' date='Aug 28 2010, 12:55 PM']Does this have a contoured body or slab sided as per the original, also does the price mentioned only reflect the value of a swap or possible cash sale price? Thanks[/quote] It will be slab body. They all were.
