Just the 3 for me as per sig - i've owned 10 in the last 4 years. Of course i'd like to still have them all plus more..

I gig my EB180-12 quite regularly. Admittedly I do have a MAG210 hooked up to it, but haven't had to crank it past 4 on the volume so far. It's nice and punchy and I think it sounds great, I generally have the EQ totally flat with the Jazz or with a slight 220Hz + 1.6Khz boost with my Stingray. I have a little experience with Laney amps (used them at practise and as a borrowed rig). I find them to be a bit muddy sounding, but that could have been just lack of familiarity with the EQ settings. By the way you can get the EB180-12 cheaper here: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-Electric-Blue-12-180--Bass-Amp~ID~3075.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...Amp~ID~3075.asp[/url] (ignore the old pic it will be the new model). Here it is in action last week: [url="http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0120of6.jpg"][/url]

That's pretty much the Ashdown rig i'd like to own but the normal head instead of rackmount. That Stingray 4 has me drooling too.. very nice.

The ultimate metal bass !

They're quite good, I defretted mine a few months ago. It has a very bright tone all the time.. it's not easy to get thump out of it, but it is a modern bass and not meant for old school tone. Perfect for rock/metal.

D'Addario Chromes are wonderfully thumpy...

Dawsons usually have a couple of them - call them up to make sure.

Is that a custom jobby ? Very nice..

Definitely worth the money, it'll easily outclass the Squier/Westfield and is definitely good enough to play for years. The only possible con I can think of is it's resale value - Yamahas really don't hold their value very well, then again they are cheap to begin with ! I had a BB614 and only sold it to fund the acquisition of my Stingray.

Let us know how it goes - i'm definitely considering one myself.

Thomann are very reliable and have great customer service, there shouldn't be a problem ordering from them .

Wow that's a stunner - worth every penny. 87 was it's first year as a 5 according to several sites.

I'd say it's a good choice - I loved the SR505 I tried. Here you go. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_sr506l_bm.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_sr506l_bm.htm[/url]

I posted £10 to Mart for a Stingray pickguard, this was during the post strikes and it never arrived. I said to put it back up for sale as I didn't fancy paying £20 in total for it - he sent it to me anyway ! What a super chap !

I started on guitar when I was 18, got a bass about 4 months later.

I have 2Gb of RAM in my home PC, never use more than 50% of it, work PC has 1Gb and same applies.. I can't see you having any need for 4Gb, let alone more than that.

They list at about £600-£650 online, so £400-£450 sounds very reasonable to me.

Fender Marcus Miller Jazz or Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor..

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='53938' date='Sep 1 2007, 06:22 PM']let's not forget the fact that he made them 1 semitone short of a 4 octave range.[/quote] Yeah that really bugs me with my Jazz - at least he redeemed himself with the Stingray . Personally single cuts don't feel comfortable to me. I have played 2 Shukers (the doodle included), and though very nice, aren't for me.
