I'm glad that Ibanez are balancing the ludicrous Dingwall MIC prices.

If I wanted a relic style Fender I'd be after one of these. That hardcase is the icing on the cake!

Short scale USA Stingray...anybody played one yet?
Musicman20 replied to 4000's topic in Bass Guitars
It's a shame EBMM have had to slow down production so much and it is STILL causing delays. Fender seem to be making a fair few Corona CA instruments. The post covid shortages cannot be helping. -
I had a GP12400SMX (think that's the model name!)...huge heavy carpeted box. You know what, that carpet was VERY tough and stopped cosmetic damage. It sounded very clear and had a hell of a lot of treble on tap for that ultra sheen on your high end. I used to play a MIJ Fender P through it with rounds and that amp provided so much clank. I liked it. I've never played a decent Trace cab, I don't think. I used a much cheaper Peavey 4x10 and 1x15. I kinda wish they would make medium sized lighter amps like Ashdown and bring the brand back properly. I should have kept mine but I had a hand injury carrying it once after a long day at work then gigging, so I sold it. Closest I've got is the Genz Shuttlemax series.

Chowny/Retrovibe to become fully UK brands
Musicman20 replied to BassApprentice's topic in Bass Guitars
This is great. I wonder if at some point you could speak to those who make their own hardware in the UK and not only promote their brand, e.g. 'featuring a high end Overwater Bridge' but also add that UK flavour to the hardware. Obviously it is all down to price and hitting a build cost you are happy with! But I personally think the price rise is very reasonable and also means you can control your QC in-house. -
Chowny/Retrovibe to become fully UK brands
Musicman20 replied to BassApprentice's topic in Bass Guitars
That is a great move. If they can make that gear with only a relatively small price increase then it makes me wonder why other brands aren't doing so.... -
Anything Genzler. To be honest I use my Stomp with a Headrush FRFR 1x12 for both bass and guitar. But that is only a 1x12.

Difference between a Stingray Special and Classic
Musicman20 replied to lancer's topic in Bass Guitars
I managed to get some amazing prices on brand new ordered in Musicman basses (and guitars)....for about 5-6 years. My SR5 Classic Natural was around £1650 ordered in new. A SR5 HH was £1400. These were brand new orders I had to wait for. Roughly 2014. Then my priorities changed and I realised I had more than enough. I love what they are coming out with but I can't personally see myself outlaying £2500+ on a Musicman for a while now, unfortunately. Covid/shortages/supply/demand have all added to the issues we see now. Still a great brand. No idea if we will ever see the pre-Covid stock levels again. -

Off topic, but crazy to think you could get a USA Stingray SR4 for around £1000-£1300 about 4-5 years ago. -
PLEASE HELP! Problem with Genz Benz Neo Pak 3.5
Musicman20 replied to stillplayin1975's topic in Amps and Cabs
Still responding to support help on an older product - got to give you a pat on the back for that agedhorse. -
These seem incredibly cheap?! £287 for a a RM-800 EVO II?! I assume that included delivery and any tax/import duty? A

It's a good move and Fodera are a very high end brand, but Mudvayne....I can't them them seriously. Along with a lot of the nu-metal era....apart from a few.
-
I think it's partly a joke/clever move to attract attention and show their fans of similar age that the Dad thing is cool. I personally think he looks better....I never liked that daft semi hip hop thing he tried hahahah.
-
Why don't they just do a Mexican take on their USA Vintage style models? E.g. classic colours like shell pink/sonic blue/sunburst in a nice non-road worn nitro finish, put some good USA Fender pickups in, and only have a gig bag. It seems a lot of the attraction to basses like the MIM Flea bass is lost...e.g. excellent quality USA pickups and a cool finish. If they want the more modern take, say the Jazz 5, don't make them active, just put great modern pickups in (USA custom shop range).
-
That is stunning. I imagine a lot cheaper buying direct as well. It seems like the concept of a dealer is slowly disappearing.

NBD - Fender Flea Jazz Bass & MusicMan Stingray Classic
Musicman20 replied to Pedro_Mendonca's topic in Bass Guitars
Damn good choices. -
It's not even really a style I'd listen to much and I think the whole band sound fantastic. He is an absolute beast of a bass player and his tone is spot on. Rather this than more Bonamassa (sp?) blues boredom.

The green is cool!

Lovely!

Warwick to become 'Exclusive Licensee' to Sadowsky!

What a load of crap 😂 -
It's now 2021. Emails for business are essential.

Why are there so few Musicman Sterlings?
Musicman20 replied to BassApprentice's topic in Bass Guitars
I tried a Sterling 4H that did this...years ago. It was an issue with the pickup and they had to order a new pickup. -
The site needs a total refresh.
