  1. After the payment the delivery was fast and item was well packaged
  2. Im having a really good think about this now... i will defiantly buy, just a case of this week or next. unless its already gone of course (fingers crossed)
  3. i took it to mansons for a nut replacement and set up with a superslinky 50-105 gauge set. hopefully they wil set up the trust rod for the c# tuning and all will be good again. ... and thanks for the info guys!
  4. Thanks very much guys! Given the money I have spent on this bass I think it would be wise and play it safe after looking at those tension read-outs. I believe it has duel truss rods but even so after a considerable time I would worry about the stress.
  5. such an awesome pedal, I wish I could afford this right now... dam
  6. Hey all, I'm using an ESP Viper 4 sting which had the nut re-shaped to take the bottom 4 strings of a 5 string set (125 - 60) to keep the tension up as I tuned lower in my previous band. However I'm now in a band who's lowest tuning is drop d half step down and I was wondering if it would be wise it have a new nut fitted to allow for standard gauge strings as I'm not sure if the extra tension of the big strings tuned up so high would damage my neck over time or if standard gauge strings would buzz due to the scalloped nut? Any tips would be appreciated, Thanks
  7. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1324362703' post='1473351'] Are these really as good as a Gibson SG? Similar money for used. Looks Outstanding! [/quote] Well it's got active emg's and a through neck so it really sounds nothing like an sg. But i'll guarantee that its built better than the SG's (even the US ones) and sounds much richer. I havent ever seen another one of these other than mine ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/10581-is-my-esp-worthy-of-being-considered-bass-porn/page__st__20__p__849540__hl__esp%20viper__fromsearch__1#entry849540"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/10581-is-my-esp-worthy-of-being-considered-bass-porn/page__st__20__p__849540__hl__esp%20viper__fromsearch__1#entry849540[/url]) at gigs, on the tv or even on the net! And at that price its a real steal! I waited 6 months for mine to be built for me in Japan and it cost me arount £1500 i think...
  8. [quote name='joe_bass' post='319307' date='Oct 31 2008, 07:50 PM']Could imagine quite a few players who would hardly let a bass like that see the light of day from it's case.[/quote] So what's the point in owning one?
  9. Found mine, ESP Viper through an Ampeg SVT3, Mesa 1000 rig using Line 6 XT Live and Boss OD3 for effects... Pretty happy
  10. Just skip the middle man and buy a set of EMG's...
  11. Your never going to get a precise answer because its all opinion anyhow although 'BigRedX' seems to have it on the money... Then again just realised all my basses have painted headstock's must be a subliminal thing lol...
  12. High end Ltd's are constructed from the same products as ESP's there just not hand made...
  13. Can't go wrong with ESP...
  14. [quote name='budget bassist' post='226949' date='Jun 25 2008, 09:41 PM']Aye, but i'd rather have the flexibility of two pickups (coming from a musicman player ) you know what i mean though.[/quote] The 404 has two Emg's...
  15. [quote name='budget bassist' post='226271' date='Jun 24 2008, 10:20 PM']I saw them, they're a bit TOO cheap, if you know what i mean...[/quote] Well i got to say the the build quality on my ltd 404 is the dog nuts! Worth the money i paid in my opinion...
  16. Just let me know if you ever feel like parting with your Big Block bud! lol P.S. the cabs the f***in' nuts
  17. I have just bought all the bass cab i could ever need from Chris... He gave me a good deal and was great to deal with the whole time, Oh... and he organised all the logistics! Top man. Nice one Chris! Jonny.
