budget bassist

it's not REALLY that big a gap....

[quote name='EdwardMarlowe' post='607324' date='Sep 24 2009, 01:32 AM']Are they another one of these companies that seem to have the attitude of 'we don't do lefties because lefties don't buy our stuff', as so many?[/quote] There are a few lefties on the EB forum, they are introducing them to different models gradually, but as you said, the market isn't that large. The introduced a lefty john petrucci model this year at NAMM i think.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='607168' date='Sep 23 2009, 10:10 PM']In defence of SB he does say at the very beginning that he's not wholly supportive of the idea, so it's a bit odd to lambaste him.[/quote] Oh come on, that forum is nothing but yes-men that praise his every idea. Don't get me wrong, i love EBMM basses but it does get a bit sickening on there reading comment after comment kissing his arse. He's a good businessman, i'll give him that, but i'd be lying if thought that those vintage-styled basses weren't his idea.

pictures now!!!!!!!

As nice as the seafoam one does look... I can't help but think sterling ball is a HUGE hypocrite, preaching about how he's apparently moving the industry forward and can't stand all these people obsessed with vintage/retro gear. *ahem*.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='606508' date='Sep 23 2009, 11:03 AM']Don't have either of these anymore but this thread is really making me miss them and giving me some serious GAS! Going to have to start saving me thinks for a nice 5 string streamer or 6 string thumb!!! These were a great pair and sounded amazing through that rig.[/quote] So why did you sell them?

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='605602' date='Sep 22 2009, 02:16 PM']might as well just get an ESP viper bass. SoW maybe a bit more metal then you were looking for but i like it anyway.[/quote] I'm all for metal but the gibson looks better imo

i think i want one!

gorgeous one of my favourite colour/pickguard/fretboard combinations that get a pearloid pickguard on there!

[quote name='LeftyJ' post='606128' date='Sep 22 2009, 09:39 PM']So that's what it's called! The seller advertised it as Orange Sparkle Burst, but I couldn't find that colour anywhere. Thanks![/quote] Yeah it's a gorgeous colour Burnt apple is another nice one in a similar vein. It's almost like black cherry burst but it's a sparkle finish, lovely

i'd like an SGZ, they're gorgeous, stupidly rare though. only pic i could find on google:

sweet rig, love the ashdown head, tried to get one of them but someone got there before me, they sound great though! (got the smaller, non-rackmounted, non-chromed one instead), and the bass is gorgeous! good pics too

that's very nice nicest columbus i've ever seen, the neck looks great!

Awesome, can't wait to see some in-the-flesh pictures

[quote name='Stingray5' post='604707' date='Sep 21 2009, 04:38 PM']Nice! What year is it? (Guessing early to mid-90's?). Looks like you weren't parted for too long from it. [/quote] I think early 90's, they discontinued those bridges in '93. Great colour

bongo???!! where from??!! nice!!!

*facepalm*

blue and yellow if i recall?

[quote name='Protium' post='603898' date='Sep 20 2009, 08:17 PM']Aye, not bad Duno where the "wooly" or unreliable rep came from, certainly not the case with mine...[/quote] Well my previous ashdown did blow up But not wooly at all!

the paint job mostly, very punk Don't get me wrong though, it's a very nice rig just not necessarily my preferred colour scheme!

Very ummm... interesting, wayne! and aren't those ashdown ABMs amazing amps?
