  1. well im thinking because we are signed up to courier service already it wouldnt really cost too much. so 250 including shipment. darn good deal if may say so. i meant yamaha gig bag before not padded case aswell. that can be free unless you want a hard case for an extra 20 quid
  2. Bump. Anyone?
  3. as promised. more availible if anyone would like to see them. [attachment=17055:STA50128.JPG][attachment=17054:STA50117.JPG][attachment=17053:STA50130.JPG][attach ment=17052:STA50121.JPG]
  4. righto. ill see if i can get some pics up tommorow night. too late now. bit more info. Its in fairly decent condition and i have only gigged it once. It has a bit of wear below the strings and the finish has actually been naturally polished and is shiny in comparision with the rest of the bass. The neck is in perfect condition and plays really well. theres also marks on the bridge, i dont know what they are but they were there when i bought the bass and sometimes they rub off (?!) Im gonna buy some new d'addario strings for it aswell if . so ill throw those in the deal if i can get them from my local music shop. If not ill put rotosounds on it. I can throw in a yamaha padded case in for free or i can throw in a nice hardcase for an extra 20 quid - which is in lovely condition. rightyoe. ill try and get pics up tommorow night. please dont make me put this on shitbay
  5. thats mainly becuase he uses a korg pandora thing with a pre-amp he uses for all his stuff. great player, i think hes great, i sometimes look through to see his tecniques
  6. [quote name='robert43' post='347124' date='Dec 6 2008, 11:05 AM']If you want it painted then either a auto spray shop or a place that paints kitchen cupboards with a hard bake finish that what I would recommend. Take off all of the hardware. If you want a DIY the suff the body with fine wet & dry paper , this make new paint grip to old paint . Clean with thinners / turps dry & then I recommend a rattle can paint out side on a clam warm day. If you cannt have this make the room warm with heaters, With auto shops they use heaters or a oven to get the product warm & to bake the paint. Paint takes better when its warm ie room temp If you use auto touch up paint you will have to undercoat it as this paint is very thin & darker coulors will show up. If you never used a rattle can the get some timmber to try on. With paint rember several thin coats are better than 1 thick coat.[/quote] awesome, that helps alot. cheers. Im thinking about paying someone to do it! will be chillin'
  7. ok pick ups. any suggestions for what i could go for? and that would fit, ive measured the pups and i cant really find anything of the exact size. Is it safe to choose something i little smaller? it would obviously look strange. The pups arent active either, its the eq is active. i have no clue how id get round that.
  8. Ive decided to sell this beast because im saving towards another higher-end bass. It's in "transparent grey flat" with a flamed maple top and has awesome pearloid binding around the body and the neck. This bass is great, it has a fantastic punchy tone. Ill post pictures if people are interested. These seem to go for around 350 - 400 nowadays so im putting this up for £250. Alex edit: would consider trades - anything like a mtd kingston heir or something. let me know if you want pics!!
  9. yeah. ive always wanted to go to aberiddy (sp?) with the awesome tiny harbour. want to go fishing there. wanna go to the blue lagoon aswell.
  10. for me the bottom curve of the bass sits just above my waist, cos i play slap and fingers right before the neck so my for arm rests on top of my bass. if that makes sense at all.
  11. awesome. theres a couple on there now i like the looks of. Im gonna sell my big trace stack to get a nice one by the new year hopefully.
  12. carol kaye, meshell and tal wilkenfeld win for me. wilkenfeld is not just "the best female bassist" but one of the best all round bassists imho
  13. cheers for the advice guys. The bass isnt really expensive, it is was my first bass but i really want to use it alot more. my main reason is for looks but if i can find an alternative option that seriously improves sustain. But the old girl has stonkin' sustain so im not bothered. it all seems like sense to me what your saying. I have thought about contacting the ibanez parts site, and ive noticed the iceman basses have black bridges that would fit so im considering getting one of those. you all might think im a total teewat for having these thoughts but im just fascinated with the idea of modding this bass but i dont have the minerals to do it. (imagine it with a yellow finish and black hardware - f*cking kick ass) i totally appreciate all your comments. if i posted this on say guitarworld.co.uk id probobally get the reply "your such a f*cking noob, twee boy" so im very grateful.
  14. i love the bass! i want it to be yellow. i cant get a yellow one. plus they are discontinued.
  15. fairs. cheers for the replies. i had no idea the kingstons were that bloody cheap. im looking for the bass with the humbucker and single coil. i dont ive seen a better looking bass for that price. is it worth ordering from sites in the US? do you not get hit by astronomical shipping charges? edit: this is the exact one i want [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-MTD-Michael-Tobias-Kingston-Heir-5-Strg-Bass-w-bag_W0QQitemZ110315593885QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item110315593885&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-MTD-Michael-Tobi...p3286.m63.l1177[/url]

  17. did high town in hereford when the christmas lights were turned on. We had a very interested little girl of about 8 staring at me as a hollered and pointed at every one i saw in a very demonic way and when i screamed i think she cried a little. Hereford werent keen on death metal. i had coffee thrown at me. yum. then i got some random metallers to kick their asses. epic win. i could have done it. but i was playing.
  18. i would very much like to refinish one of my basses. im bored of black. got any decent advice how or where i could get get it done?
  19. have you noticed they are alot bigger than standard 4 string pups aswell. they could easily fit on a fit string or more...
  20. i just want a black bridge really. i want to change to black hardware. i wanna change the pick ups too but i dont know what i do about that either. ive been playing bass for a fairish amount of timje now just never thought about modding
  21. im pretty sure he used spector at some point
  22. i might be selling my ibanez srx595, quality axe for the price. i used to play in a death metal band and i felt it was a great sound. ill let it go for 230
  23. I am thinking about modding my my ibby srx and i wanna change the bridge. Whats the score with getting bridges, can you simply attach them by screwing them on or do you have to go by the screw holes, the size or what? i have no experience altering hardware on basses so i would appreciate any advice. churrs. alex.
  24. it better be tenby. cos tenby F*CKING ROCKS FTW PFPFTTT
