    The problem with too many basses

    [quote name='BurritoBass' post='595280' date='Sep 11 2009, 12:29 AM']That is a great quote, very funny! I like the sound of your Tele bass. I can't help you too much (other than to say I find it best to pick the one that adapts the best and fit around the rest) but just wanted to comment on your funny quote! :)[/quote]

    Thanks :rolleyes:

I used to have a [url="http://www.gbase.com/files/store_images/gear/1769491/p1_ue243c11q_so.jpg"]Hohner B2A that had a D-tuner on the bridge[/url], so the parts do exist, but I don't know if it's really practical (or desirable) to swap bridges on a headless bass.[/quote]

    Thanks again. If I could change the bridge , that could solve alot of problems and really pimp up the steiney. :)
    There was an original Steiney on ebay that got away last week with a DB bridge.

    O ne thing I forgot to point out ,is that I do understand the 5 string(ie you can play stuff that's
    usually at the end of the neck on a 4 string halfway up the neck on a 5)

    Alot of stuff I'm fine on , it's just that certain songs have always been played on adg strings
    and I keep having to look a the neck alot more to ensure I don't cross strings.


    At home I'm fine with the Bigger Schecter , but as I haven't used a full bodied 5 string live I'm a bit nervous..

    Will do. :)
    If a trans-trem steiney came up ,or a 5 string headless(not hohner) I'd have to consider offloading this.

    Howdy!
    As you can tell by my signature, I have a few basses. I have been playing headless
    the most but have a few full sized ones also.

    I have gigged with the Telecaster,and took it to a jam session no problem .

    Now the quandry I'm in is that I'm now playing a couple of songs in drop d in the band.
    Okay, I 've been using the 5 string of late. More often than not, I've always been playing the
    Washburn or the hamburger bass(both headless of course) as I'm used to these for so long.

    Trouble is, I do love the Schecter, but I wanna avoid the Les Dawson technique in a band situation .

    Question is: Do I wait for another Steinberger/Washburn to appear(or even a 5 string Status)
    and sell the lovely Schecter? Or do I just bring along 2 basses(one of course in BEAD)

    Or do I stop being a cissy ,and get a really good quality adjustible strap and persevere with the 5 string.

    One thing that I may have to watchout for is the different frequency of passive/active basses when playing live if I bring 2 basses.

    Cheers guys :)

    [quote name='AdamWoodBass' post='592079' date='Sep 7 2009, 01:33 PM']I use a Studio GX and yes I'm able to play along to stuff through it.

    A word on Riffworks, personally I think its crap. If you're used to using programs to record stuff you're best off sticking with ableton. The only good thing for me about riffworks is the drum loops so I just record the loop I want then export it into ableton. Ableton is much nicer to use than Riffworks and you get it free with the GX.

    Just my 2p.[/quote]

    Thanks for that. :) I'll leave riffworks alone

    [quote name='v8bass' post='589870' date='Sep 4 2009, 05:04 PM']Lovely !



    dont think ive seen a pj config before .. really tight to the bridge as well , do you anchor on the p ? ooer , think i might need a thumb rest ..

    Wooden f/board ? or phenolic ?

    Love the binding too, like a dinner suit ! tuxedo berger maybe ?

    And so nice to steinys being brought out dusted off and displayed , just to fuel my gas ....only played a couple L2 and XL but allways , allway impressed .


    Apols to the OP for going slightly off topic ..



    Cheers! I do anchor ,but it's great for pick playing as well.It's a phenolic neck. It's a custom xl2/3.
    (Didn't know it was custom when I got it) After a transtrem or white original cricket bat. :)

    Why is it,when you look for a compact amp sytem there isn't one.
    When you get something eventually ,something good turns up later but it's too late??

    Love the GK stuff, but if I never had Aguilar......

    Have a bump anyway. This will soon go :)

    Is this the nicest bass ever made ?

    And at that price I'd expect the J pickup to have the correct string spacing to be fitted properly.[/quote]
