sure it plays and sounds great, but that slanted neck pickup just looks...erm...wrong to me personally. Congrats on the new bass

Those basses scare me.......,i'm scared that i may like them. The Lee Sklar one looks a cracker.

Thanks both

Hi all Anybody have a Schecter Stiletto Elite 4? I'm after something a bit different from a Jazz/P Bass/MM etc, and although i'd love a Status again, not sure available funds will stretch. I love the look of the Elite, and wondered if it would make a good all round versatile bass? Any thoughts/advice most welcome Thanks all Graeme

Not illness as such, but i've had hairgel run into my eyes with the sweat - that stang and i pretty much 'cried' until the break

PP's a great player, and the only person i know who makes a P bass look small

yep, sounds like the nut may need to be higher. You could always try and ring John for advice?

I know it's an old thread, but i've just been checking out Mike's playing on youtube and it bought again what a tradegy it is that Mike is no longer playing- an amazing player. Here's hoping he's comfortable and one day will be able to pick up a bass again, or any instrument God Bless Mike P.

We make sure we have a varied set list (all covers) to cover all eventualities these days. However, a few years ago we played at a British Legion locally, and although being booked as a blues/rock band, after 3 songs the duty manager said some of the 'older' punters were moaning etc, saying we weren't the right sort of entertainment. We turned down a bit and played a few tunes slightly less rock/bluesy and things calmed a bit - then, some children in the club, including a couple with Downs syndrome asked to come up and sing, to which we obliged and made them part of band for a few numbers. The 'older' punters attitudes totally changed towards us and we suddenly were the greatest band they'd ever had. Funny how things work out

I was in GAK a few months ago when a dude was returning one for not being loud enough. Think he went away with an Ampeg head (1200 watt jobbie?) I thought it sounded great when they fired it up in the shop to test it.

Well i'm a slap fan, and favour MK over MM i terms of style and with regards to Moonlight Sonata.....why? Each to their own, and IMHO as always of course.

Fodera for me I reckon, one of those Wooten ying yang jobbies would do the trick.

[quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1327614045' post='1514361'] My L2500 does slap pretty well, I normally use the active with treble boost for slap, and it's great for finger style, active or passive for a more vintage tone. It really is versatile. [/quote] Thanks dude

i've gotta ask, how did you 'acquire' it?

well done that man...but we'll need pics!!

I've heard nothing but great things about these basses - seem to be very versatile - one question, they good for a mixture of slap and fingerstyle? Thanks Graeme

personally i like the Quantum, great range of tones.
