Hello Jonathan

Im wondering what kind of pickups are in the Bass.

Cant believe i missed this

If anyone else has one of these they would like to send to a good home let me know

That must be the fastest sale ever

Go for more Tacky. Get the christmas tree lights down from the attic and shove them in the back
one set flashing and one set full on.

Cheers Andy & Out to Play jazz

I prefer the natural finish on just about any bass

the spalted maple status on here is really nice not sure who owns it

Im thinking about selling it because the width of the neck is killing my fretting hand,and going back to 4 string

but its such a great bass and the action is so low im in two minds about it.

Its for sale in Ireland, if it sells great if it dosent i dont mind keeping it.

This is my status

Not my photos, so sorry to Rumble and the previous owner for using these photos

havent added photos before so not sure if this has worked

Cheers chris
this bass will probably never see a gig , so not too worried if it marks
but its nice to know its not a problem

Snap i got one on monday also has a bit of noise not unexpected at this price
but very nice bass for the money

The strings on it are roundwound and are marking the fingerboard allready
Does anyone know how long (approx) this fingerboard (ebanol) can handle this before its a problem

or would i be safer switching to roundwounds or half roundwounds

Try Thompson, down round Killkenny i think
fairly sure they can make you a six if your looking

lets stop the arguments
were all roughly coming from the same place

probably my favourite bass player check out i wish on a live album called natural wonder its pure class
he,s fantastic on the whole album even the cheesy stuff

Thanks for the help everyone

Swapping straight to 6 is the thing for me
im not giging much at the minute so that should give me space to get my head round it

neck dimensions, string spaceing, scale lenght and pickup layout is fairly much down to personal taste,

but does anyone know of some good info along these lines

Hello lads im hoping to buy a 6 string fairly soon (when i,ve sold off enough gear im not really using)

just looking for some advice

1. would it be wise to play a 5 then move on to 6

im a bit lost on the 5s ive tried so i figure why not be lost on the 6
i need the B to cover some of the stuff i like to play
as for the C i used to play guitar so it would be nice to have the option to play chords

2. I feel i would need to swap completely to the 6

how many of you still play 4 or keep one around for certain gigs
im unwilling to part with my jazz bass and will only do so to get enough cash to get the 6
but would i be better off to get rid of it

3. is there a certain amount of pressure when you walk into a gig or new band rehersal with a 6

do people expect you to be a monster player or do they even notice

4.whats the general time frame from getting the 6 to gigging it

5.some of the bands i play with do covers that are tuned down a half step

some the lads bring extra guitars, some of them move the song to a key their happier with,
some of them play it as they hear it ,using standard tuning (which dosent sound great on certain songs)

so im hoping having the extra range will leave me in a position where i can use standard
tuning all the time no matter what the guitars are doing
does it sound strange to play like this or does it depend on the song

Im also not sure what bass to go for but ill save that debate untill i get the cash together

Im not mad about the look of the bass. But the sound is f**king AWESOME ,very jealous
cool tracks, great gig. im gonna head in the 5 string direction
the sei basses are definately worth a look now, or should i say listen.
what a sound

Everyone i have asked and every review ive seen has said the norton stuff is crap
so its gone

Thanks for the help lads.my ip address starts with 192.168 so i should be ok
gonna go look into the CLAM XAV stuff.
Today i also heard about AVG its free, but dont know if it works on mac
also panda and avast if this is any help to anyone else.

Even though its probably overkill i like to have things covered and not pass on harmfull stuff to others

Its my internet security software, i uninstalled it and hey presto !

it was out of date anyway. It was norton internet security 3.0
and it was fairly slow, so ive got a trial version of intego virus barrier x4
just installed it so no idea what its like

is antivirus software on the mac just overkill, what are the rest of you mac people using
some advice would be greatfully accepted but keep it simple please

feeling kinda naked now or is it just paranoid
