    I had a 1988 stingray years ago and remember the neck being paticularly chunky back then too.

    Seriously, if you do, you'll have alot less explaining to do at customs. Depending on which airline you go with you should be ok - invest in one of them double cases. How many basses are you brining back?

    Bottom line is - if you're worried about Ohms get a head that can handle 2 Ohms.

    [quote name='leftybassman392' post='539239' date='Jul 13 2009, 11:59 AM']Got a question if anybody feels able to answer. I've bought a couple of basses from sellers in the US, and there's a chance that I'll be able to go across to pick them up early/mid August. Anything I should know about bringing them into the UK by air? Any helpful hints would be much appreciated.[/quote] Go over with some empty cases!

    Forget them both, go for an Orville or a Greco Thunderbird. I used to own an Orville Thunderbird (which was really Gibson Japan) and it was great. Identical to a Gibson without the QC issues or the price tag (I got mine for £360). It had all chrome hardware and Gibson pickups. It had a jazz type neck but with the manditory neck-dive. Sold it for a hell of a lot more than I bought it for too. I have some pics of it somewhere...

    Lately I've seen a lot of after-market bass bridge on Ebay and I can't help but think they look a lot like the bridges used on a lot of medium to high end basses that are made in Korea and the Far-East. For example I have seen the Traben bridges on Ebay being sold for about 15 quid or thereabouts. Same goes for some Ibanez bridges too. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking them for using these parts but was just wondering if these come from the same OEM manufacturers that the big companies use. I know they are many different makes made in the one factory so I am assuming this to be the case. Any thoughts?

    These are the really early ones from 1983 with the brass knobs and lettering logo (no eagle logo). I had one in black and used it for years. It was my first real bass. I loved it and it served me really well. I remember mine weighing a fair bit but the sound was great. Construction as you would expect coming from the Matsumoko factory was top drawer. You probably won't get a better quality bass for this price. Have a free bump.

    I think Ash and Maple give a great combination of sounds. I had an mahogany / walnut Gibson Thunderbird and liked the big bottom-end on it, but there were no real highs which at times had problems cutting through the mix. I've found that Ash (and Alder to an extent) for me are the perfect woods for bass guitar bodies.

    [quote name='Mike Brooks' post='534469' date='Jul 7 2009, 10:29 AM']In that case it's a 1983 model. Mike[/quote] Ahhh.. the year I started playing bass. I used to own an SB900. Aria has some fantastic basses in their range.

    Yes, Paralell. Apologies, I should have made that clear.

    Quick rule of thumb guide for all you people interested in Ohms... This guide assumes that the speakers are wired in parallel. Two 16 ohm speakers = 8 ohms Two 8 ohm speakers = 4 ohms Three 8 ohm speakers = 2.66 ohms ( use 2 OHM setting ) Four 8 ohm speakers = 2 ohms ( use 2 OHM setting) Two 4 ohm speakers = 2 ohms ( use 2 OHM setting ) One 4 & one 8 ohm speaker = 2.66 ohms ( use 2 OHM setting ) One 5.33 & one 8 ohm speaker = 3.2 ohms ( use 2 OHM setting ) One 2.66 & one 8 ohm speaker = 2 ohms ( use 2 OHM setting ) Two 2 ohms speakers = 1 ohm Three 4 ohms speakers = 1.33 ohms Two 4 & one 8ohm speakers = 1.6 ohms
