you cant ignore good ol' Larry Graham

coolio. cheers for the replies. i want one pretty bad. ill keep a look out. is there any similar alternatives in the same price range

that looks cool.

i was just an example but i dont know how i could justify buying something so expensive - as absolutely stunning they all are. after being on this forum for month or two now i dont think im ever gonna buy a bass new again.

ive been considering one of these, the white and black both look good! you HAVE to get black hardware for it mind.

where can i find these? i cant find dealers on the internet or anything and im probobally a hundred miles away from a shop that stock them! knowing my luck im one of those who has a complete inability to use a search engine properly. anyone know anything i could look at?

Spend £2000 on a bass and a few years later it's may still be worth £1500 or even more if you wait long enough.[/quote] very true. maybe something prestigious about basses?

its exactly the same on guitar with sweeping. they are both similar. done properly they sound beautiful, performed rushed or performed with a lack of musical awareness they sound like an elephant seducing a lamb. not a brilliant example but if it were to happen it would be pretty tragic.

do the rolands contain just synth sounds or synth sounds and bass effects?

[quote name='BigRedX' post='340786' date='Nov 29 2008, 09:24 PM']It's just a matter of priorities... I couldn't imagine spending a "couple of grand" on a car that's going to then cost me even more to run and no doubt give me no end of grief when I could spend it on a perfect custom-built instrument that meets my requirements in pretty much every way.[/quote] fairly cool point. i actually couldn't imagine spending any amount of my money on a car right now. i dont drive.

i love to slap, and my favourite artist thast does it is marcus miller, he has the right idea. Sure he slaps an awful lot but it never gets boring. On the other hand, flea slaps and plays other styles. When he plays slap, i want to slap him in the mouth. it gets on my dairy pillows.

i have a short fuse and couldnt keep calm for more than 5 seconds. fair play to the bloke

cool. is that the older one or the new one? v-bass that is? if i can get my hands on a gr-20 and i cold blend the sounds, say, sax and bass. would sound awesome. i dont quite understand how they are set up though...

how on the earth can you do that four finger thing? i can double thumb and pluck with my index and ring, but how and where on earth do you begin to start learning that?

im thjinking about getting the gr-20 with bass pickup. is it any good dya know?? its fairy cheap aswell i think for a synth. can you blend the synth sounds with the original signal from the bass?

as lovely as some boutique instruments are, i dont think i could spend that much on something, you could get a fairly decent car for a couple of grand. my favourite bass is currently my ibby srx300. its prolly worth about 100 quid but it plays like nothing else ive played. its set up how i want has perfect gauge strings. the only thing that lets it down is the sound. its good enough but doesnt come close to my trb

ive decided i want this and should be getting one after crimbo. might get it in a 6er
