    [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1402406616' post='2473099'] Have you played a music nan stingray 5 Cosmo? How does it compare to the spector?? [/quote] I have but it was such a long time ago I can't really make a fair comparison I'm afraid!

    [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1402396509' post='2472938'] That's what I was worried about! Also read some comments about the neck being on the chunkier side on the 5 than the 4, both would be reasons to stay with the 4!! [/quote] I'm sure you can get EMG PJs in the standard soapbar casing. A very straightforward swap. Although as I said before, I can't imagine being left wanting by the fiver - it's just a bit smoother. I only switched to the 4 string because I'm more at home with them - the tonal difference was only noticed after. And the 5 string neck is by it's very nature chunkier than the 4, but still very comfortable. Best low B I've ever played.

    I found the PJ 4 string to be growlier than the 5 with soapbars. Both still unmistakeably Spector, and the fiver still had gobfuls of aggression.

    Gertcha!

    If only this was up last week when my Squier VI was still for sale!

    The things you stumble upon on Youtube... Absolutely astonishing vocal from the chap on the right. It gets good from 3:30. http://youtu.be/9LQQQFn4Bjw

    Not metal, but the chap from Blossom Toes had quite an extreme vocal style when pushed. Check out 2:20 - some serious guttural vocals. Better still, listen to the whole thing, it's great! http://youtu.be/LRt5eulbTzY

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1401904702' post='2468176'] Fabulous looks fantastic does he do slab '66 P basses or Telebasses do you know? [/quote] Never seen a Limelight Telebass but he has previously made a slab P. I've bought oand sold to Mark on many occasions and will echo what has already been said - he's a top bloke. In fact a while ago he offered me a Limelight bass as a trade, just when they first started making them. Due to fear of the unknown I declined... Twinges of regret now! I love that Pino-a-like on his website.

    Ruddy tempting, I don't mind telling you.
  12. Cosmo Valdemar
    What about a Boss LS-2? Then you can run the clean signal and blend in the Tone Hammer alongside it.
  13. Cosmo Valdemar
    Some half-decent pics would probably help...
  14. Cosmo Valdemar
    Look at that neck!

    [quote name='gadgie' timestamp='1401803005' post='2467005'] Not sure what the difference is by short scale tbh. is it like a 3/4 size guitar? Sorry...newbie dumb question. [/quote] The scale length is the distance from the bridge to the nut. On most basses it's 34", generally known as long scale, this Epiphone is 30.5" which is known as short scale.

    Up...

    [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1401712639' post='2466029'] if this was south east id be all over it for an audition good luck [/quote] Ditto!

    [quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1401655869' post='2465631'] is that good or bad? [/quote] Depends on the bass! ;-)

    [quote name='sykilz' timestamp='1401468458' post='2463978'] Sounds good, do you know how old it is please? [/quote] I reckon around 15 years old.

    I've just sold the good Emperor some La Bella flats - instant payment, no problems whatsoever. I would happily deal with John again.
  21. Cosmo Valdemar
    Sold.

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1401299159' post='2462236'] They were woolly then became more woolly then I gave up caring. [/quote]

    [quote name='sykilz' timestamp='1401456502' post='2463832'] Assuming this is active, are the controls vol, pan, bass and treble? Ta! [/quote] If I remember correctly, it's vol, vol, tone, bass boost - but I'm sure Shonks will be along to confirm/correct!

    I used to have a picture of this bass on my bedroom wall... Whereabouts in Essex are you?
  25. Cosmo Valdemar
    a few years a go I tried a variety of P basses in one sitting. The Hoppus was, to my ears, the best. Mind you this was before they flipped the pickup round. Sadly it's my utter revulsion of anything Blink 182-related that stops me from ever seriously considering one, but that's just me being petty and small-minded.
