[quote name='JMM' timestamp='1349284567' post='1824324'] I'd recommend looking for a secondhand bass. Not only will you get considerably more for your money, but you'll get a lot more back if you ever decide to sell it on. [/quote] So wish that I'd had this advice before getting my first bass. With the prices of secondhand basses currently, you'd be a fool not to buy used. The only thing I would advise is getting an idea of what kind of dimensions (width, string spacing etc) are comfortable for you so you can buy a secondhand bass that's similar.

http://www.myspace.com/rylinnband Just the single teaser, as we never really got any further than that. We were a power metal influenced band and, as you can hear, the track is unfinished. And I was the keyboard player.

Hi everyone. I've been dipping my toe into recording lately and getting used to using Reaper. I've recorded some tracks (with some pretty lackluster drum samples, I know!) with several EQ settings and am wondering if there's anything I should be doing within Reaper to improve my sound. I'm just going straight into a Focusrite interface and taking a direct signal from my bass and recording it straight into Reaper. The clips sound okay to me, but I was hoping that some advice could be given as I have nobody else to ask! Thanks. http://soundcloud.com/xclusiveyt/sets/ibanez-sound-clips Chris.

I can honestly say that since buying my current bass (in June) I haven't been tempted by anything that has been put up for sale, because I love my Ibanez SR to bits.

Deeeefinitely the floating thumb. No other reason than I find it makes more sense (to me) when playing finger style.

Well, I've been looking at 'beginner rigs' lately and have had some great advice of starting combos that may be what you're looking for. In terms of weight (and not size) the new TC Electronic BG250 has had some great reviews but as far as suitability for gigging, I've heard some fairly average reviews in terms of volume.

Hi everyone, I'm planning to study music performance at college next year and will most likely (hopefully!) be gigging quite a lot. Obviously, it'll be nothing more than smallish venues. Fortunately, I have a great bass and a budget of £300 to complete my rig with, ideally, a combo amp that is easy to get around. There are many to choose from and I'm really at a loss! Cheers.

Hi everyone. I've just got a hold of some extra pocket money and want to get a decent set up + fret replacement my Ibanez SR. Of course, I want someone to do it for me so I'm wondering if anyone knows a guy. Cheers.

Most of the time, the right colour combination and matching neck is what pleases me. Part of the reason I fell in love with the bass I currently own.
-
The first thing I'd do is measure the height of it from the pickup, or compared to the rest of the strings. The second thing I'd do is make sure the B string isn't twisted by loosening it and re-seating it in the bridge. And that's all I really know.

It can also push someone who has been watching the thread with interest. If they see people are interested, then they're less likely to sit on the fence about purchasing your bass.

Ooo, red. Lovely really nice.

I hate to be the one but...

I stick to 5 strings, although I'm a fairly novice player. But if I was to switch up or down, it'd be to a 6 string!

[u][b]3 items on clear out here! Payment is by Paypal and shipping is within the UK only.[/b][/u] [s]First item is a brand new pack of Ruthenium coated (like a shade of black, but still silver coloured) Schaller Strap locks. Bought them to fit onto a bass but never got around to it so these are in their original packaging and have never been touched. [b]£11 + P&P [/b]for these![/s] [s]Second item is another pair of used, but still clean and unmarked Schaller Strap Locks. This time they are a pair of silver coloured (I believe 'chrome' is the official term) strap locks and are without original packaging. Price is [b]£7 + P&P[/b].[/s] Last up is a set of D'Addario nickel wound singles for 5 string bass. 145-120-95-75-55 are the gauges and these would currently cost you over £30 brand new. They haven't seen much play time at all from the looks of things; there are no marks on them and they feel clean and didn't sound very dulled at all. I received them on the bass I have currently and took them off for a lighter gauge as I do like to do tapping as these were monsters. However, I can honestly say that they are amazing for finger style playing great for slapping too. And as you can imagine, the heavy gauge B string feels and sounds amazing to play on a 34" scale bass. The strings have been cut for a 34" scale bass, not for through body stringing either. [b]£16 + P&P for these[/b]. P&P will be £2 for each item.

You know what would be more infuriating? Seeing your dream bass getting purchased by someone else. Count yourself lucky that your dream bass is just a custom build away. Some people's dream basses are quite often not custom builds, so be happy in the knowledge that you'll get it eventually.
