Nice, i like the B string sound thru the bridge pickup, i'll look a little more into those cheers

Hey guys, i'm looking into getting a new bass and ive decided to venture into the land of the 5 string, mainly for playing rock/ metal type stuff, probably looking at spending about £800 and quite like these so far: Warwick Corvette/ Streamer Musicman Stingray Sandberg? (havent heard a bad thing about them on here) are there any others you guys can recommend?

Hi all, My band UBAM are looking for a drummer after losing our last one due to commitment issues. Genre: Rock/ Metal Influences: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth Location: Aldershot, Hampshire Weve got a few songs up on our facebook page right here: [url="http://www.facebook.com/ubamband"]www.facebook.com/ubamband[/url] If you are/ know anyone who might be interested leave a reply or PM me Cheers

WOW! lots of input from you guys thanks! I was thinking of getting a rosewood 'board (stick to what i know ) but i do like the look of a maple (especially the candy apple red with black scratchplate )

Hey guys, This may be a bit of a dumb question and i apologise in advance if so but i was looking at Fender P basses and just wanted to know what the difference is between a rosewood and a maple board (ive only ever played with rosewoods) Cheers Seb

Hey Paul, cheers

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1352768842' post='1867337'] hello and welcome My sister's lad has an RBX170; it's nice and plays well, but I find the body uncomfortable to play sitting down (perhaps I just have funny-shaped legs?). I did offer to buy it from him, but he was all "I'm not selling it, it's too nice to play". Whatever else people say about the youth of today, some of them do actually know when they're having fun [/quote] It does feel uncomfortable to begin with, but as Garth says about a new pair of underpants in Wayne's World 'at first it feels restrictive but then feels like it becomes apart of you'

[quote name='Thurbs' timestamp='1352729847' post='1866598'] RBX170 is a fab guitar, I still have mine, great for slap! [/quote] Yeh, i think Yamaha make great budget guitars and basses

Cool, seems to have done the trick thanks

Ah damn it! mines blue... Balls!
