    [quote name='bass_ferret' post='170368' date='Apr 5 2008, 06:31 PM']I've often wondered if the Badass is not another Basschat bandwagon that everyone jumps on. Ok the choices are limited for direct replacement without drilling new holes, but if Badass are so great, how come all the UK's custom builders dont use them.[/quote] Good point .. I was thinking the same about custom builders .. seem to go for Hipshot ! I'm after a new (string thru) bridge ... looking at Hipshot A &/or Badass III ? Anyone got a Hipshot Transtone ... any good ?

    [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='128161' date='Jan 26 2008, 10:33 AM']Or buy one for cheaper from Coda! [url="http://www.coda-music.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3071&oscsid=bb1756dd351f5974dd05806c4686529a"]http://www.coda-music.com/catalog/product_...d05806c4686529a[/url][/quote] If they don't charge for shipping I guess I could've saved £50 .. no matter, done now & am really pleased with it !

    Just thought I'd post this thread cos I received mine today & I'm well impressed ! Was on the lookout for Hohner & had the chance to try a 'spirit' out earlier this week which I guess is similar if not a little inferior but was not convinced (apart from the price £199 ex p&p) .. anyway, I found a real Steinberger, new 4 string synapse model & couldn't resist ! 'spirit' = conference league 'synapse' = premier I'm no expert but think it's real quality .. have a rad of this email response from 'absolutemusicsolutions' "Hi Simon Robin is away playing until Monday ..you might be interested to know we had the only 2 of those basses the distributor had and they will not ever see any more and advised me to retail them at £699 each so I think you got a bargain and I am pleased to hear you love it ..enjoy..Terry On 25 Jan 2008, at 13:28, Simon Whittle wrote: Hi Robin, Received the Steinberger today .. really pleased, lovely bass .. real quality ! .. unless it explodes or implodes in next few days you shall not be getting it back ! lol Regards Simon" Just checked and they still have the other .. here's the link (btw £495 incl p&p) [url="http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_product.php?product=steinxsbass&searchlink=yes&search=STEINBERGER&page=1"]http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_p...RGER&page=1[/url] If someone on here buys this & likes it ... they can buy us a pint sometime ! good luck Si

    Well I just tried a Spirit out .. not bad at all (for £200) but found myself playing everything 2-3 frets higher than normal ! .. I might actually sound good (or at least experimental) if I ever have to use one as a backup ... so looks like I might have to 'sort of' make my own 'frankenstein' .. with a shorter neck ... so can anyone advise where I can get a 'locking nut' from and more importantly .. a 'steinberger bridge' (4 string) .. will add post on 'items wanted' .. any spare necks lying around with broken headstocks ? .. spare wood for 'body' etc It's a bit of a long shot but might make a nice project .. only for backup & messing around with at home etc

    Have bought loads of stuff from Thomann ... - are by far the cheapest on almost everything (just do usual internet research/comparision) - the price you see is what you pay .. no tax (vat or import) - 30 dat money back guarantee (was gonna return on a cab but didn't keep original packaging, they will charge if you don't !) - 3 year warranty (sent faulty amp back, they pay for collection/return & don't need original packaging ! but I'd still wait 30 days before you bin it !) negative side .. probably putting UK retailers out of business ! I guess most of us on here are 'amateur' as in non-signed .. we all want the best (cheapest) price before we part with our hard earned cash ! Signed / endorsed artists probably get most of it for free ! Bass player I know (signed band) got given a £1600 Warwick .. never used it .. sold it for £900 but is mentioned on Warwick's website under 'artists' .. bet he hasn't bought any strings for 20 years either !

    Thanks a lot for all the replies guys .. sounds like either would suffice .. I have bid on ebay on both Hohner and H & S but stuck to my limit & got out bid .. soundcontrol do 'steinberger spirit' for £199 ... I'm in no rush, so I might just wait it out till one comes up on here. cheers Si ps. I play jazz bass so I guess I'll like the neck (used to play 'mediocre' guitar afterall) .. pps. this looks a bit dodgy .. member since 04-Dec-03 but '0' feedback ???

    Hi all, looking for a portable backup bass .. anyone recommend both/either of these ? cheers Si
  21. sifi2112
    1stly - good luck with the build ! 2ndly - I was gonna buy that body but I guess you beat me to it ! I was gonna strip it then stain it (got some black stain - used b4 looks pretty good) then metal pickguard. Got 1 on Geddy Lee jazz - looks ace .. (tho maybe not everyones taste) .. gonna put 1 on Warmoth jazz too ! Already had tuners & noiseless pups ready .. guess I'll have to sell em now. Unless another jazz body & neck come along (cheap ! lol) Si ps. will watch this space to follow your progress

    Yeah, heard of them after some US fan slagged us off for stealing their name ! No matter, they're no longer active & if we ever have to change our name it will probably something like ' r - kid' .. that's what my bro usually says when he introduces me to someone ! Si

    ORCHID .. not the usual sort of name for a rock/metal band .. my bro (guitar) has loads of them tattooed on his arm .. thankfully he didn't do for daffodils or pansies ! btw .. we're looking for a drummer if any of you know of anyone ? .. and possibly keyboards ? cheers Si ps. thanks for 'hello's' [attachment=4938:Mark2.jpg]

    ORCHID are looking for a drummer who can put their own stamp on our music. I know this is a bass forum but you might know someone who's looking. Own transport would be a bonus (or live locally) .. if you know anyone (preferably a bit mature) send them a link to our website (got some tracks on .. can get an idea of what we're like). www.myspace.com/orchidrockband cheers Simon
