[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1407166216' post='2517965'] Happily agree on that, they are amazing quality basses, I had one and a "real" Stingray at the time. Aside from the worn neck of the `98 Stingray, playability, sound, and construction quality I couldn`t tell them apart. [/quote] +1

The thread title asks for our favourites, not best. For example, I hate all bass players who are better than me. This means nearly all of you bastards.

Running with the Devil. Plod plod plod plod yawwwn wonder whats on telly...

Try cutting before you boost anything

My special one was an Anthrax 'Fist full of Metal' shirt I got for my 14th birthday. Treasured it until only the bit with the print on was left ^_^ A mate gathered all his old tourshirts, stitched them all together and now owns the world's awesomest ( and probably most expensive) picnic blanket.

Some death metal noise my drummer and I wrote.

Only sold my first two basses, The first one sucked for me (P bass named Flasher). A mate enjoyed it for years after a proper setup. Second bass was a Ibanez soundgear 500, served me well untill I switched to 5 strings.

Don't leave your gear unattended. That is all.

Earplugs! Get all of the cheap ones and compare, until you can afford fitted ones! Best bassgear I bought ever!

Theres some Kiss songs with fun basslines...

Or get a warmoth/allparts P neck for the J, now that you know you like it.

Maybe a Dobro/resonator type. There is no escaping a side by side comparison to hear the differences yourself though.

Stingrays are not very popular this year it seems, although the pre-EBs are hyped a bit. Work the price down as much as you can, and make sure you won't HAVE to sell at an inconvenient time. As long as you don't enter the modding swamp it should be solid. Also, lovely things to hear and play

Saw them in Amsterdam last night. Bloody brilliant!

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1404491816' post='2493212'] You are lucky in that respect then. The hipsters where I live are[i] way [/i] too hip to go to Glasto. They probably go to some festival we have never heard of held in November at a secret location in rural Wales where the hippest DJ's are flown in from Japan and Outer Mongolia to provide a soundtrack to the burning of effigies while everybody is off their bonce on a new designer drug made from scouring powder and meat paste .

My amp settings are far superior to all your amp settings.

Ah! I see! White male. No facial hair, squared jaw, un-hetfieldy clothes but most importantly, Hetfield can't tell a moose from his mom beyond fretboardrange. Unless it was a point blank encounter there's little chance he'd hit a rabid airbus charging at him. Trujilo is awesome, Metallicka should have stayed in the 80s though.
