This next then

I just think its mad but maybe there is a market for this kind of thing, there seems to be a 7 string that on here for sale with people drooling over it

hahahaha, whats the most stringed bass anyone on here has played

I mean come on !!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-string-Schack-bass-guitar-/220989033830?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3373f90d66

I might just keep the pick ups on there just change the strings and pots

as im still learning I play allsorts really, I seem to be playing a lot of reggae riffs but really I want to be playing funk, its just my experience holding me back at the moment as my fingers cant move quick enough. I use the amp to set the tone rather than the bass it self

Thanks for this help, there were some DR strings on evil bay for 18.99, seems cheap or is this normal??

any ideas ?

This is where my knowledge hits a block. I looked at CTS pots on ebay and they were 250k - 500k etc Do i need different K's for volume etc or just see whats in there and follow suit. The bass is set to my liking, strings are quite low and easy for me to play. As I am quite new to all this maybe I just need a new pot and a decent set of strings ??? I am learning all types of music from reggae to punk so to pigeon hole myself at this stage is mad and maybe changing pickups untill i find my self is a bit too early, any recommendatins on strings I was thinking DR Low Riders

I am thinking of spending a few quid on my bass to upgrade it, the volume pot has had it really as it will only play on full volume and I thought about upgrading the pick ups. I have an Encore LTD 83 and to be honest its a lovely bass for me feel wise so rather than sell and buying a different bass I would rather just upgrade. I dont know much about upgrading so what and where to buy advice would really help me. ( ithink I can handle soldering however) Cheers for any help

Thanks Len
