personally i think the idea of having a fingerboard extension to change from standard to d-tuning is a bit silly, you may aswell just get a 5 string if you really want to keep your fingering that much.

[quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='40605' date='Aug 2 2007, 07:32 PM']Just fiendishly expensive, no? I'd go with Peavey for my one brand, although I'm not sure if they do strings.[/quote] yes they do. I would aswell, peavey cirrus- peavey pro bass head into 4X1o and 1X15 and with the cirrus strings.

personally speaking, if you want good service, low prices and freindly staff- DON'T LIVE IN LONDON!

personally i don't think there would be much point, just turn your amp up- at the end of the day most songs are recorded with barley adequate amounts of bass in anyway. if you really care, you could just take your hifi out and use your laptop. That's pretty much what it would sound like if you cut the bass.

[quote name='Sibob' post='40282' date='Aug 2 2007, 03:46 AM']The only real SC story i have is when we visited the Nottingham one on our May tour just gone. At the time i was in 'Active Jazz' mode (now satisfied by my Deluxe), but they had a Miller Jazz on the wall, i said "May i try this please", they even had the exact stack that i use to play though, perfect!. "No" Ummm, right, any reason? lol Apparently it was protected stock from HQ or something, i can buy it if i like, but couldn't try it. It wasn't cos i looked or smelt a bit mucky (touring does that to you), because i tried a couple of more expensive Stingrays. But what a ridiculous policy! I've looked around the Oxford street one a few times, never tried anything though. Dunno, didn't like the atmosphere much so left! Si[/quote] always happens, the guy in bass cellar made me play a peavey usa cirrus thru a GK backline 1x10. Forturnately the tone still shone thru (that's why i like em)

8 people have actually bid for it, the thought of that thing selling for any higher than it is now just makes me cringe!

^what's wrong with WD?

personally i would just get the olp stingray but that's really because 5 strings appeal to me more than a fretless.

[quote name='cetera' post='38891' date='Jul 30 2007, 12:10 PM']Mmmmm... white basses are SEX! [/quote] not just basses, how 'bout my guitar!? hmm i hope my sister didn't throw away the receipt for my camera...

[quote name='Mrs Tinman' post='38945' date='Jul 30 2007, 01:32 PM']I'm now wondering what you would look like with a black eye[/quote] women, honestly! treat the tiniest of mods as were giving sum1 a black eye! . Personally i think tort looks best with s/b.

^yeah, they don't really have that much prescence for a guitar mic.

very f***ing nice!

^ah yes there are just some people out there who have "got it" for woodwork. unforturnately not me tho.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='38577' date='Jul 29 2007, 07:24 PM']You can't beat a good jazz [/quote] he's right you know, yes the jazz bass is very sneaky indeed, there are some people who have spent the last 5 years or more playing nothing but 5 or 6 string basses only to have the 4 string jazz sneak up on them and draw them in like a fish on a hook. I like them because they are nice and fast to play but they have a neck reassuringly chunky for sum1 who usually plays 5.

yes it would, of course a louder amp would also make it louder.

I was whatching this vid of jason newsteads new band, and you'd think the ex-metallica bassist would have gained a little respect but no, he was shown for about 2 seconds of the whole song, also the band elliot minor never ever have shots of their bassist.

[quote name='paul, the' post='38459' date='Jul 29 2007, 01:13 PM']Non too fond of the Darkstar tone personally, although they look cool. If you have a look on Ebay be sure to use a typo site as it seems everyone trips over when spelling epihone, regardless of how well inlaid the headstock is [/quote] even you!

[quote name='phatmonkey' post='38438' date='Jul 29 2007, 12:46 PM']Even if they sounded similar, I wouldn't be surprised if the Thomann branded one would just fall apart, Shure mics are built like tanks. Remember that thread about fake SM57s? I bet the Thomann mics are rebranded fake 57s.[/quote] I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions mate. Most of the stuff thomann stock is of very good quality. And yes, it does sound good.

[quote name='Lee-Man' post='35399' date='Jul 21 2007, 10:15 PM']Your right mate, I think they are the distributor, they have a 5er and two guitars in at the moment. Typical Musicinn test drive, £2k bass and £300 bass amp to try it through. Nice people though/.[/quote] better than £500 bass and £80 amp tho.

pretty much everyone i've heard who owns one says they're a peice of sh*t.

[quote name='ARGH' post='38204' date='Jul 28 2007, 06:03 PM']Ok,I keep hearing this on the grapevine. Soundcontrol are on the verge of folding because they havent paid their importers or something,and shops are to close. Now is this a Leeds only thing (As they have 2 shops in the city,both in really dim places that are a sod to get to or find). Any light? I personally think its not happening,but I do go into the stores and see sodall being sold or persons inside buying.......... soooo???[/quote] well in hull williams just closed down and was replaced by, you guessed it, soundcontrol. They decided to give the shop in the city centre it's original name back tho, which is nice.

^ WHO NEEDS A BASS EH?

they look very nice, personally i would get the JM for a bit more beef but that's just me. Aparently they're as good as stingrays but £200 cheaper.

[quote name='paul, the' post='37815' date='Jul 27 2007, 02:00 PM']Woah 'man,' that's too 'out there' for me. You need to get your feet back to solid ground. Yo.[/quote] oh so now i'm the guy who makes up crazy stories involving random forum members i haven't even consulted!
