I think another factor when buying an instrument is how it'll be perceived by others. Some people (possibly including myself) wouldn't want to be on stage with some no-name bass that no-one has heard of or is perceived to be rubbish. It's the Skoda effect..

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='86788' date='Nov 11 2007, 10:20 AM']Why cant you use the Ibanez to play Jazz and Funk? Whats not versatile about two pups and a 3 band active with mid sweep? The only thing that might concern me is the Barts.[/quote] +1. With 2 pickups and that much EQ control you should get a nice funky tone out of it no problem.

You could use the line out, but if anything the signal won't be high enough for passive headphones. I've tried it before and it's very weak quiet (through an EB180 and ABM). As stated above, you don't need to have a speaker plugged in for this.

I wonder when someone will put the Bongo pickups / EQ into a Stingray... now that sounds like an idea !

I had one like that once when my fingers caught the poles on my Stingray pickup.. so much pain..

Yves Carbonara looked really into it, Jean Boredin looked well.. bored.. especially at 40 seconds in.

An umbrella ?

Only a 20 min drive for me .

No loss on the sub-harmonics, but not sure about that humming problem. I can get mine to hum if I turn input/volume to max (with nothing plugged in), but that's just background interference amplified.

If/when i get another cab to go with my MAG210 it's likely to be a MAG115..

eBay would net him £225-£275 I reckon. That's the feel i've gotten from watching Jazzes on there over the last few months..

I had a brief nose - didn't play anything due to a large crowd unfortunately..

I think it's the whole 'one good sound' thing. It isn't punk to care about versatility or something..

Had some serious GAS for the Brazilian made guitars some awesome woods being used. Couldn't get any where near the stand. Needed some new strings but had to settle for Duff's autogragh on the Rotosound stand BUMMER Steve[/quote] I played the 5 string they had on Saturday, a crowd appeared around me . Superb bass, very pricey at £2500 but I feel could be worth it.

Interesting... so basically they charge you the earth but you can claim fairly easily on pretty much anything..

It'd be more like 200w... not just half of the max RMS .
