  1. to cut a short story even shorter, i set up my new to me bongo a couple of weeks back but came home this evening from work to find rattles on the lower notes caused a flat neck :(
    we have had lots of rain today (but none inside :) ) its been warm but not roasting out.
    my ray35 also needed the odd tweak here and there is this just how single action rods behave ?

  2. SOLD SOLD SOLD

    recent edition to collection means there is no longer a hook for this one on the wall :(

    all round good condition very small bruise on back of neck (i cant feel it) scuffs on pick guard, apart from those in top nick.

    would like this bass to be collected in person or can meet up somewhere near to harlow

    £270 in bangers and mash, bank transfer or paypal NOW £250

  3. ive owned some cheap bass's one being a ibanez gsr my first fiver which i parted in for an sr505, there was great divide between these 2 instruments in every way.
    since the sr i have been spending a bit more each time i buy a bass, last year i bought a ray 35 and thought this is as good as it gets :) i have since bought a bongo and realise i was very wrong.
    i guess if its a p/jazz sound and feel your after and the cheaper models have that then why pay more for it ?
    i cant see me ever spending over 2k tho ..well not unless i move some on to pay for it

    Thanks for the replies! And Warm welcome.


    I agree, i made myself sound like a bit of a loner there. I will be having a laugh with a few people i know should i pick it up enough. As for music, well i used to be into my metal/rock, but i listen to anything and everything nowadays. I can tell you one tune im dying to learn is sugar hill gang rappers delight :D

    Again, thanks for the welcomes and advice.

    As a former g*****ist; I under stand the frustration.

    I also understand the frustration of using open tuning and so on.

    As a now converted bass player, I say this; Guitar players can be utter tits about capo's and bizarre tuning. MTFU and barr with your finger or find another method of playing the chord without all the hullaballoo....I used to play in a band where the other guitar player basically used a capo as a way of 'making it easier'....it used to really f*ck with everyone else in the band, but he would not change his ways....I left the band quickly!

    **I have played guitar for 25 years and have never required the need for a capo and the only open tuning I have used is drop D and open G for slide acoustic and without bass.

    ahh the bizarre tunings drive me mad, one guy i played with used them and barred with one finger, he couldnt even tell me what chord he was playing "but it sounds good"
    i would start to pick it out by ear as soon as i got close he would start to play something different grrr
