    In the past I've fixed rattling clover leaves with a spot of superglue - might do the trick in this case. Lovely looking bass in any case - good score!

    a bit of blu-tac worked on my BB415 ;)

    Both more appealing options than new tuners or leaving a pick permanently wedged in!

    That's a nice looking bass mate, congrats :-)

    I love my 'cheapie' RBX but I have an undercurrent of gas for an old bb.

    My first bass was an RBX170, and I've always had a soft spot for Yammies. Never played a bad one.

    Any mod plans? I'd bang a J bridge pickup in there if it was mine. Still a great score as it is though. Well played! :)

    EDIT: if you felt adventurous, there's probably enough room there for a 'Ray pup...

    Thanks! I'm loving it stock at the moment, but I might update the hardware with something a bit more substantial - maybe go all black. Other than that I think I'm going to keep it as is!

    Looks nice :)

    Thanks! Annoyingly the clover leaf on the D and G machine heads have started to rattle and come loose after a bit of playing. Think I might need to get a vice on them or something to squeeze the surround back into place. Currently have a pick wedged in to stop the movement.

    Denmark Street is dangerous.

    I've been thinking about picking up a new bass for a little while, but couldn't decide what to go for - until I walked into Wunjo this afternoon.

    I am now the owner of what the guys had christened the Taiwanasaurus, which turns out to be a Yamaha Attitude Plus, in Seafoam Green.

    Great condition, lovely maple neck, slightly wooly sounding (easily fixed with some new strings) with a padded gig bag chucked in all for the princely sum of £115!

    Pics will follow once I get it home! In the meantime if you know anything about these basses (as I mentioned, I've only just figured out what it is!) it would be great to hear!

    Here's the US collection for the SR range...I need to move the States :)

    and here's the UK :/

    [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eb_sub_series15.php?series_id=51&area_id=3&year=2015&cat_id=2"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eb_sub_series15.php?series_id=51&area_id=3&year=2015&cat_id=2[/url]

    I'm really hoping the SR1400E in the blue comes to the UK. I'd sell my current 3 basses for one of those.

    Oh man, no SR650 in the UK? I had basically sold myself one in the last 24hrs.

    Fender & Squier bass VI question

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    Correct. I own a Bass VI and EADG are tuned at the same octave as a regular bass, Be are tuned at the octave below the equivalent strings on an electric guitar.

    If you're picking one up you should get a set of the La Bella Bass VI strings on order straight away (cost me about £15 all in delivered from the States) they are so much better than the crappy stock strings Fender supply.

    I'm disappointed that there's nothing in my favourite colours (greens and blues with mample fingerboards), but pleased too 'cause it means I don't have GAS.

    Please Fender, a Mex or Squire Jag (with twin HBs) in Surf Green with a maple fingerboard and white pick-guard. That would be an immediate sale.

    I was thinking something similar - it's a shame that the Jaguar guitars and basses don't share the same colour palette. More surf green and sonic blue please!
