[quote name='benebass' post='1297846' date='Jul 8 2011, 11:49 PM']Really surprised this hasn't been snapped up yet. I have one of these & I'd describe mine as a refined take on a Stingray. They have a really usable active EQ & one of the comfiest necks I've played. It's a bargain way to grab some UK-built Status quality - I put mine up for sale a while ago & withdrew it! Good luck with the sale & hope things work out... Cheers, B.[/quote] Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.

[quote name='Merton' post='1295916' date='Jul 7 2011, 01:05 PM']Still keen, just lacking the funds [/quote] Its just a shame I dont or at least cant justify the use of it. But I honestly wont use it with the other 2 basses that I have. My go to bass is now my Ric and the Jag is used from time to time. However in the last 2weeks I have had a major change in circumstance. This has caused me to stop playing in my band as of last night. So lets face it 3 basses is a tad overkill for a man that wont be playing at rehearsals or gigs for the foreseeable future Depending on how things go the other 2 may be up for sale at some point in the not so distant future.

[quote name='Chest Rockwell' post='1291591' date='Jul 3 2011, 10:47 PM']ok cool. why do you have to do that though? im not well versed in the 'science', i just glaze over, but maybe i need to start paying attention.[/quote] to put it simple. stick the head at 8ohm selection.....plug in 1 8 ohm cab and you will get the full 500watt from the head. Plug in a 2nd 8ohm cab and you have trouble. stick the head to 4ohm selection....plug in 1 4ohm cab and get the full 500watt from the head......plug in a 2nd 4ohm cab and you have trouble.......or...... 1 8ohm cab and you get approx 250-300watt from the head......plug in a 2nd 8ohm cab and you get the full 500watt from the head.

munkonthehill replied to Robert Manning's topic in Bass Guitars
the fella from Blind Faith, Rick Gretsch a think his name is. He uses this technique on the hyde park gig. But me being a rock/blues bassist, I just cant imagine not having the ability to do whatever I want on the bass. Now this fella is pretty awesome so it makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong!!!!! Or I should just take my own ususal info which is do whatever makes you happy:-) Its worked so far I guess. -

[quote name='ikay' post='1291202' date='Jul 3 2011, 05:27 PM']+1 ... I often stuff foam under my bridge to get less sustain and a bit more punch and thump. Depends what you play I guess[/quote] Sorry for being a bit dense.....but. I have seen foam under the strings before, but I dont quite get why someone would do it. I have string mutes on my Ric so would that serve the same purpose?? Why do you gain from the foam or mutes??? -
[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1291238' date='Jul 3 2011, 06:02 PM']The sunstroke's playing havoc with my brain cell Steve. How does this work then? You meet up but the buyer pays the sellers costs (presumably return fare)... why don't they just keep on driving all the way then?[/quote] Just ment I could get the bass to the buyer if they for whatever reason can't get to me. Pretty standard offer I thought.

[quote name='chrismuzz' post='1285763' date='Jun 28 2011, 09:45 PM']Hope you get to play it soon mate. And that Ric looks GORGEOUS with that pickguard[/quote] Cheers Chris,,, I have the standard white one and an aftermarket black one too.. However I feel that the chrome guard just gives it that something extra

Let down from a possible jam session
munkonthehill replied to munkonthehill's topic in General Discussion
I know its quite cliquey as with all these jams. But I know the guys and I go up and play whenever im there. My brother in law who is my drummer was their session drummer for a few years. So whenever him and I pop in we always go up for a wee shot. I cant make the jam every week and probably not even every second week due to my wee family. However the wife always gives me a green light for any gigs I do. To be fair she never says no to me going out whenever I want, its more down to me. Im going down this Friday for the wetting of my pals new babies head So will get a wee shot on stage but think I will just take anything they say with a pinch of salt.
