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?

Bit far from me lovely bass though

Where bouts are you based?

Really nice, missing a string for me though, good luck with the sale

Where abouts in surrey are you?

Do you have any more pics?

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

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

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'

RBX170 is a fab guitar, I still have mine, great for slap!

Yeh, i think Yamaha make great budget guitars and basses

Cool, seems to have done the trick thanks

Ah damn it! mines blue... Balls!
