Machines

It appears to be mods only - certainly something to change. I'll set it visible.

Have listened to it a few times now - it's similar in feel to Octavarium, i'm sure it'll grow on me .

I think every bass i've had has had a deadspot to some degree of severity. It's inevitable..

The Sandberg Basic I tried felt quite similar to a Stingray - certainly has the same specs.

I rate them highly..

I have some samples.. will upload later if I remember :wacko:.

Flatwounds all the way - D'Addario Chromes are my personal recommendation.

Like this, right ?

They're available as H/HS/HH - you'd need to order one through a dealer.

Sorry, only ped gets to see my tongue nowadays.

[b]John Myung[/b] - Fantastic chops and very modest with it - compliments Dream Theater wonderfully.
[b]Steve Harris[/b] - Does all it needs to make the songs sound great, dosn't go over the top.
[b]Marcus Miller[/b] - Amazing groover and all around down-to-earth chap, saw him live and he blew me away.
[b]Trip Wamsley[/b] - Completely under-rated solo bassist who would put a few famous names to shame, worth checking out.
[b]Jason Newstead[/b] - Made me want to play bass, just enjoys(ed) what he did and wasn't fussed about being flashy.

This pic looks a bit better than the vid.

You could hear it !?!?

Hah - it was the encore song and I'd got quite bored of it by that point.. 7 mins.. pffft

Only ordered from them once - they are never in a rush..

The orders go to napper in Manchester - he then gets the store in London to package them up and send them off.

Nice gear line up - get some pics up in Bass Porn .

A natural finish on the Bongo does help a bit in masking it's shape, I like.

It was a Yamaha RBX775 actually !

Defretting is indeed a piece of cake, making it a tidy affair however - is the hard bit. If you want it to look super neat and professional - i'd get a professional to do it.

If you just want something to knock about and try out fretless - save the cash and do it yourself.

7 for me .

There's one here too - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111[/url]

Do you agree with the sentiment ? These things are lovely looking..

£15 - i'd imagine since it's in a bigger place the number of tickets won't be a problem.

Super Gary - when do we get a line up ? .

Pressing Ctrl+F5 will refresh from the server - that will solve your problem. It is a local browser issue not the forum .

Snare traps ? :ph34r:

I think no musician is ever really content with themselves. I find i'm always raising the bar on what I should be able to and what I aspire to play. 4 years ago I wouldn't have dreamt of playing some of the stuff we do due to it being beyond my ability at the time - now it just seems the norm.

If I suddenly thought I was 'good enough' to not want to improve i'd probably sell all my gear and start playing golf. :wacko:

Due to the impending date - consider this stickied.
