Try musicground in Manchester or Leeds... they had some on display the last time I was in there about 3 or 4 weeks ago

ALDI £2.50 a roll at the moment black/silver/white good enough for cables and stuff I got lots while I was there

[quote name='fletchbass' post='389958' date='Jan 23 2009, 08:15 PM']My first ever BC post was a bit of a disaster (see above). Wish my fingers were always that fast... Another Yorks based bass - Selby area, although really a southern softie. Will be prowling the gear for sale threads as I am promised a dream bass for my 50th - I've got a year to choose it![/quote] I work in the shadow of the Drax cooling towers lol

[/quote] They are only coming because we have a better class of sheep this side of t'hills

I have recently gone from Warwick Corvette 5 to Stingray 5 and to be honest I am amazed how much more tonal variation there is and also how much more playable the instrument is. Add to this that the first gig with it last week the sound man nearly kissed my feet because he says it was so much easier to mix into the band sound. I can say without any reservations that this Ray 5 is a masive step up for me [1] PS Just loaded it with Status hotwires 40's as per OutToPlayJazz's recommendation and the sound is even better [2] Also add.. mine is black single H with rosewood FB [1] I'm a relative noob to bass, so my opinions might stand for jack sh*te lol [2] I think someone better pass me a tissue

He bought my Warwick Corvette... What a sound guy to deal with, knows his stuff and no BS. And a really cool collection of basses

Yeah it's black I will get some nicer pics up soonest

My newest addition...

[quote name='Johngh' post='387402' date='Jan 21 2009, 12:35 PM']Another one to try is partysounds.co.uk I know they have listings of bands looking for bass players in that area[/quote] I found my band through partysounds... I put a "Bass player available" ad up and got over a dozen replies inside 2 weeks

Welcome mate... Another bass player from God's own county

[quote name='Sean' post='387097' date='Jan 21 2009, 07:31 AM']It's like asking for people to tell you what their favourite food is. You'll get almost as many answers as there are replies. In these times of financial hardship go for Elixirs, they'll last you till the next recession. [/quote] I know I'm bound to get lots of different replies, but it came with elites on and to me it looks like it needs a shorter low B because the full width of the string is on to the post. Do ernie ball strings fit better?

Come on all you Stingray officianados what in your opinion are the best strings? I want to stay fairly light gauge

I've got the 1x15 Jeff Berlin sig combo purely because it didnt have the tweeter in it. Had it for 2 years now no problems, only this week added a Traveller 151p 15" extension cab because of a large gig we were doing and boy did it hold it's own. Didnt bother going through the PA and ran on half gain and just over half master volume and I'm sure I was holding it back with the gain on the wireless too. Buckets of headroom, uncoloured tone, carry in one hand. Just to add... Most of the bass players (read: more knowledgable than me) that have heard my setup think it has a warm tone - go figure-

Smashing bloke, 100% A proper gent.

Absolutely spot on bloke Deal with confidence

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='384492' date='Jan 18 2009, 11:07 PM']In no way does that rig look 'basic'. Quite the opposite in fact; it looks great...[/quote] Why thank you kind sir... but at the side of some I've seen it looks like a bedroom practice setup

I used the AKG bug I got from PMT at the gig last night, flawless performance all night with no drop outs or background noise once I put the receiver on my pedal board instead of sitting it on top of the amp, it's fantastic not having to look down before you move to make sure you aren't going to unplug yourself lol or go barreling arse over tit
