    Well.....i got this bass back in December and can truly say i love nearly absolutely everything about it...except the string spacing. So if anyones interested in a top notch high end real deal 5 string Steinberger Synapse custom model (Custom from the Colour and Extra PU fitted) then send a PM (its a very posh bass with a posh case and all+extra's). [b]See new pictures further down this thread[/b] See [url="http://www.steinberger.com/XS1FPACST.html"]http://www.steinberger.com/XS1FPACST.html[/url] has all the details, mine has an extra PU (EMG) fitted at the Bridge....professionally done (details can be provided), the Piezo is still in there but has been disconnected. I may change my mind and keep it...but then who knows. I'm interested in trades ideally a Musicman 4 or 5 string, or Spectors...but alas try me with anything but if a 5 string must have similar spacing to my Lakland (i thinks its around 19mm) - May do a cash deal. I have a little cash also to add to for the right deal on a trade if needs be. I can only describe this bass as posh, the quality is amazing, as is the case, strap etc etc More pix available on request. Please note this bass has two pick ups!....bonus!

    I do and have done a couple of weird tunes i guess. In the Circus of sound band we play the Knightrider theme in a funky style, we also do a Ska over the Seven nation army B-line (on our myspace below). We've recently been dabbling with the b-line form Roni Size's Brown paper bag too-thats good fun to play! In my old funk band we used to do a funky version of an obscure Gong song called 'Take a little trip' that segued into a slowed down and trippy Hendrix's Band of Gypsies 'Who knows' (The whole thing i think was supposed to replicate an LSD experience ish). As for recent bass lines that i thought was fun but a bit odd, Madness's 'House of fun' has to be up there-i learned it but never used it. My new electronica dubby band Dub synergy have just been dabbling with a drum n bass version of Massive Attack's 'Safe from Harm' but using more bass from the original Billy Cobham's 'Stratus' (The chorus and outro riffs) tune...great repetitive riff but '[i]gor blimey governor[/i]' its a hard one on the wrists (RSI)-you know the one!!!

    [quote name='bass_ferret' post='350606' date='Dec 10 2008, 12:38 PM']And according to the interview in BGM Robbie Shakespeare now plays Markbass.[/quote] Yeah absolutely mate...and great taste too, hence me and Redstriper converted to Markbass a few months ago - for me Markbass had the edge on the Eden but if it didn't have that magic VLE knob then i'd have kept the Eden for sure. Ironically i totally ate all my words with the Markbass, i didn't want to succumb to the Markbass hype and after preaching to my irie brethren about Edens & 6x10's shifting more air etc than any 15" could i'm now using two Markbass 15" cabs (one being the Berlin combo)....no more back breaking 6x10 Anyhow, Markbass, the lightest rig i've ever played and for me the most versatile and best sounding reggae rig i've ever used....and interestingly i'm playing more funk than ever now

    Reggae bass is far from 'Dull' - how is dull an expression of bass sound? I'm confused on that one...now earth shattering low resonance that moves ya belly....now that i think is deep, or heavy (which again can be confused with metal heads)....just thought i'd add a bit....maybe your confusing Dull with Dub? - I suppose the opposite is bright and then it could be dull or dark....but hey that's the weather not bass!

    [quote name='Mr.T' post='348072' date='Dec 7 2008, 07:49 PM']Hi Rasta, All I can say is "Your Markbass must be pretty darn good, to make you want to sell that Eden!".[/quote] Glad your liking it mate. Yeah the Eden opens up a whole new world to your sound. The Markbass is also a great sound, particularly for my own personal sound. Couldn't really justify keeping the two heads and for me the Markbass just had the edge with portability, sound and i must admit i'm a sucker for the yellow speakers too! But it was close as the Eden is beautiful too....infact it shares some similarities to the Markbass in that when i used the eden i never touched the Eq hardly ever, just used the magical enhance knob-and on the markbass i just use the vintage speaker emulator knob and i have funk to dub in one knob......crazy but great. Happy playing-job well done!

    [quote name='Lysdexia' post='334202' date='Nov 22 2008, 12:56 AM'] Erm...despite the inevitable lusting for Varri...the bass itself is still for sale [/quote] Y'know i enjoyed this pic so much that its now a screensaver on my Mac...hope thats ok Lys! Very good

    [quote name='redstriper' post='346973' date='Dec 6 2008, 01:56 AM']No such thing [/quote] Glad the Edens gone to a good home, i miss it already, but alas a new era....like you guys with your old Traces as ol' faithful the Eden was mine - great head. As for over the top 'well some would say' (in a Top Gear Clarkson voice style) why have a cheap middle eastern motor if you haven't tried an old Classic...lol, on that note i prefer my £700 90's Toyota Celica convertible over my £4K Renault Scenic from 2 years ago-and more bloody reliable, shame the same can't be said for my camper Crap analogies i know Enjoy the Eden

    [quote name='MythSte' post='345017' date='Dec 4 2008, 01:22 AM']If he done a deal with Rasta rasta will probably have his address?[/quote] PM Sent Beedster, you have my commitment to resolving this situation although i hope my name will not be synonymous with bad doings. However could a moderator please PM with regards sharing personal data (obviously not on forums) i.e. Confidentiality policy/Data protection etc....sorry but i work quite heavily involved in such things (I'm a Youth Worker/Social worker for my sins....so therefore a purveyor of social justice............hey media b*$%rds give us some good press for a change !) May i add that my transaction with Allen worked out fine so before he his condemned to the pit of eternal shame here can we offer the opportunity for him to resolve this now, not sure how long the issue has been but lets hope we hear from him before say Monday 8th Dec? Thanks RastaLee

    [quote name='OldGit' post='341435' date='Nov 30 2008, 09:32 PM']Pretty good for Dub and Reggae I reckon ...[/quote] Yeah, i get to play some old skool phatness. I'm mainly looking at using it in my other bands and the new 'poppy' band though (Dub Synergy - link below if interested and fancy a quick listen?) - We're planning on doing some drum n bass/jungle style tunes etc, but i'm sure a riddim or two will get played...BABA BOOM!

EDEN still for grabs, brilliant amp-come on guys you know you wanna take the Eden plunge-it's more than worth it x

    Hi Folks, i'm looking at joining the Stagg party in the next couple of weeks. Where is the cheapest place to purchase one at the mo? I'm not overly bothered on colour but perhaps and swayed more to the black if given the choice. I see ebay is doing one for £329...any better deals than this about? Cheers me lovers!
