I think the faux chequer plate guard tops the list of illegal scratch plates... Not sure what MM were thinking, but for me I think it needs tort/pearl to distract from the textured finish.

Ill have to be arrested then.... My mike dirnt p/j sports a tort guard occasionally. Now what wrong with pearl?

Hey you guys, try these links! http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/107141653@N07/10892944886/ http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/107141653@N07/10892934166/ http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/107141653@N07/10892919445/ It looks black but it's a charcoal colour. Can anyone recommend a supplier for a new scratch plate to replace the god awefull chequer plate one? I'm thinking of a pearl one! This bass is "used" but besides some slight rust on the strings I am struggling to find any signs of use, it's as good as the day it left SLO!

Ok so it's not a full blown stingray, but it is a US MM SUB 5 and I am massively excited. This started as a search for my first 5 string and hadn't really wanted a MM but my band situation changed and I came across this in PMT in manchester and couldn't leave it. Thanks for the heads up stingray pete! Ill try and get some pics up soon. One very happy bassist!

I got my warning email a couple of hours later. At least they are trying!

You mean wild GAS chase

Awesome! I didn't even get that far! At least it relieves me if the 4 hour each way drive req to collect it!

Can you spell S C A M??? The old saying is always true, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. See below email from seller This message has been sent through Gumtree mail, which keeps your email address private.

If there is anything about the message that you think is suspicious, do not reply and report it to the Gumtree team. We will get back to you asap. I am out of the office, please contact me home at [email protected] thank you Almost want to email to play them along, I'd fancy it's the same person as the sub that is on gumtree

I saw that on fleabay, the add reads identical as well. Seems dodge to me too! It was listed in Bournemouth so this doesn't add up. Even if it was a case of he put it up for auction and got someone else to bid to push the price up, you could always offer a second chance offer. I have been offered them in the past. Be wary!

I have contacted the seller, initially I thought it may have been one of the fake rays but having looked at the pics and compared it to a fake it looks the real deal. It was a learning curve for me, atleast I know what to look for now! Hopefully the seller will get back to me, now does anyone live near Guildford???

Yes I agree 100%, a band is like any other business, someone has to stand up and be the boss and have the final say. Foo fighters work like this, it's Dave Grohl's band and everyone works towards his vision. He has gone through a drummer, a couple of guitarists and the bass player quit and then came back before the mix and mindset was right. The trouble is most rock musicians want to be "stars" and struggle to take a back seat!

As luck would have it, there is a radiator in the kitchen which is on the other side of the wall, hopefully I can get someone to T off that, and we need to put a bigger radiator in our bedroom upstairs, so there will be a spare radiator kicking about!

Hey all, So I recently converted my garage into a practice room. The garage is attached to the house and single brick construction. My part is lined with plasterboard (stuck on walls, and two layers screwed to rafters) and has been great the last couple of months but it is starting to get cold! So cold I had to buy a small fan heater, which does the job nicely. I didn't think too much of the cold until I brought my bass into the house to show a friend something and within a couple of minutes it had a thin film of condensation on the body. Should I be concerned about my gear getting too cold, I also keep my amps, stereo and recording desk in there so don't want to ruin it all!

I'm think jason newstead used a fretless on several recordings. Enough said really....

Love the colour too!

Well played old mate! I must have missed that one although not sure how, I have been trauling for a sub 5 for a couple of weeks! Glad you are happy, hope I can get a hold of one soon, this GAS is killing me!
