  1. With funkier band 99.9% of the time we open with Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf, but have found it's a bit of a waste as it works well in the 2nd set when the crowd have loosened up a little.

    With the female fronted rock band it's been Hanging on the Telephone by Blondie for a the last few gigs at least.

    just not really loving the silver sparkle finish right now... :)[/quote]

    Hell, I love the sparkle finish ones. Mine is a tobacco sunburst but I'd love a sparkle one, particularly the blue or purple!

    I'm really loving this bass right now, but i had the chance to play a modulus bass in the local shop today
    and the neck fitted the fast playing style of my new band perfectly,
    if i had loads of money i would buy the Modulus and keep the sterling as well since the Modulus had a really nice neck ,but also had a more sterile sound than the Musicman,
    but since i already had to save up for almost a year just to be able to buy this one i guess that's not an option... :lol:[/quote]

    I own both of these basses and whilst I love the Flea because of the neck and the weight of the body, I think the Sterling has much more personality and grit in its tone, and for that reason it's the bass I always come back to in the end.

    If buying a Flea is your reason for selling, I would keep the Sterling personally,

  5. Ok, folks, thanks for the many, many PMs that I've received - too many to reply to all individually.

    Firstly, it was on hold yesterday, pending a handover next weekend but that person has gallantly offered to allow someone else to have it, if there is a better cause so I will be contacting that person to see if something can be sorted.

    Secondly, it's logistically very difficult right now for me to do any posting so it would have to be either collection or meet up nearby so please bear that in mind if registering your interest.

    Thanks

  6. Gigged last night with mine and goddamn I love it so much! I've owned mine since 2000 and although I've flirted with other basses, I've always come back to this one. Have a Sterling adoring bump from me too.

  7. [quote name='allihts' post='936164' date='Aug 25 2010, 05:12 PM']What are the necks like on these? (btw no way i can afford it, just wondering :) )[/quote]

    The neck is great on them and you can play incredibly fast.

  8. [quote name='Legion' post='934645' date='Aug 24 2010, 12:11 PM']Rob, couple of quick questions if you don't mind...

    How do you think they compare to the GS112's you had?
    How old is the Compact? I sort of get the impression Alex has done a lot of tweaking over the product lifecycle (although I don't know for sure)

    Cheers

    Hi J

    In comparison to the GS112s, I would say that the sound coming from just one Compact is louder, bigger and fuller sounding. It's also a lot lighter in comparison to just one of those cabs, which was a big bonus for me.

    I'm not sure how old it is as I bought it from Bass Culture, so I can ask him. I think the tweaking he may have done would be in the use of lighter woods, but I'm not sure. I have two and they seem to me to be identical.

    Cheers

    Rob
