I used to own an older ash Std with the wenge neck. It was passive and sounded great. the one that I'd like to have a go with is the $$. I've yet to try one though
-
the colour is called pearl lavender and was discontinued in around '02 . its close(ish) to Fender's burgandy mist. I have a Stingray 5 in the same. -
[quote name='chilisfan16' post='502219' date='May 31 2009, 12:35 PM']do you know the serial number's letter on your sterling?[/quote] if you mean the letter that preceeds the numbers,Sterlings and Bongos begin with "F" and SR4/5 begin with "E"

I love the Echo Park tonecore pedal. I got mine from sk8 last year and I'll never sell it. I also like the FX on the Toneport UX2. I used to record with a POD XT Live but I ditched that for the UX2 and am much happier nowadays. edit: and I think the vocal preamp settings on the UX2 are astounding for the hundred quid I paid for it.

welcome thodrik, nice gear! I always liked the look of the Excess though I've never tried one. Not even sure if theres anyone else on here with one. post a pic of it in the gear porn section when you get a chance please?

given all the basses you own,it must have made quite an impression! I'm very happy with my single H Stingray 5 - I get enough variation out of the EQ and the series/single coil/parallel switch - The SR5 does sound a bit more polite than the other MM models imo when solo'd but in a band context it sounds just as you say..fat! Some maybe disagree but I think its a great sounding bass in a mix.
-
are either of the Curbows passive? I thought they were active. I've played a few and I like them
-
they should sound the same - the bridge hb is in the same place,is wired in parallel and is selectable on its own

my G&L SB-2 [attachment=25692:body_incase.jpg] a great workhorse bass with a lovely neck,great tone and a character all of its own.

Just got the Ashdown Sub Octave pedal from Martin. Extremely happy with the pedal and the transaction. Buy from him with absolute confidence. Keir

^^ love that V4 - in Dave's pics it looked more green. Awesome bass btw - I held back phoning him about it,my bank balance is better for it but I'm now a bit sore with snoozing and losing on this. anyway congrats on scoring a great bass!

[quote name='nig' post='492972' date='May 20 2009, 09:11 AM']To my mind, people have a real problem, that is... living with fender and musicman and thats it ! G&L surpass both, sure you can have a pop at the eye gouger headstock, but these are well engineered basses with years of heritage attached to them, any bass and especially the hi end boutique bass have ugly bits, wals arnt that beautiful, except in the eye of the beholder for instance, but these are still leo and georges best kept secret. rant over.[/quote] well ranted! and bump for a great bass -
crikey - 7 string fretless acoustic - with that amount of string tension it'll probably fold in on itself
-
nice one! well you got it in the end in a round about way . you're right about the sound. definetely the warmest sounding Euro 5 I've owned/played. the green 5 I've still got and others I auditioned at sound control all sound to have a more extreme glassy top end and not so plummy in the lows. THis one is a little softer sounding for want of a better description,and very musical to my ears for it

[quote name='rslaing' post='484856' date='May 11 2009, 10:07 AM']Brilliant.............and what about this one? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY4Ra2KOyas&feature=related"]Enormous Room[/url][/quote] wow! that is astounding!

just bought a gold scratchplate for a P bass from Alan. as most of you probably already know he's a top fella. He sent the plate 1st class same day before I even sent payment! thats service above and beyond what can be expected imo. thanks again Keir

came with the 08 MIA Std Precision I got in January. It must be for a MIM as it doesnt have the truss rod access notch but will fit either MIA or MIM. 13 hole,3 ply heres a pic of it when it was on my bass SOLD cheers -

I'd like this WD brushed gold plate NGH has for sale [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/P_BASS_MEXI._STD._-_BRUSHED_GOLD_(SIMULATED)_PBS-414"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/P_BASS_ME...ULATED)_PBS-414[/url] similiar question to Mecklenburgs post about jazzes but this time in reverse. I've an 08 MIA P and was wondering whether this WD one for the mexican precisions would fit? the bass at the moment (and how it came to me) already has a replacement pearloid one without the truss rod access so I'm guessing that was maybe made for a MIM. cheers

looks a nice one. The Stingray 5's are great imo (well I'm biased what with owning one) - a bit less in your face tonewise than the 4's. the price is towards the upper end for used but I see these reguarly on ebay on private listings asking for the same so not a bad deal given its from a shop. DaveB (as in Bennett I think) is the boss at MachineHead and posts on the MusicMan boards. fwiw a mate of mine just bought a used MM Silhouette Special guitar from there and is delighted with it

very nice

since '93 I've owned 20+ of both their basses and guitars and not one was a duffer. some have been even better than others but they've all been exceptionally well put together

I saw them in glasgow on the second night of the return to eden tour and they were excellent (particuarly some of the album tracks off the Rage In Eden album). I like his playing when he plays but even by Systems of Romance he was using the MiniMoog instead on at least half an album which maybe makes him not stand out in any way (obviously not a bad thing being a bassplayer). He always was a good backing vocalist as well imo
