i remember first hearing this track from John Coltrane and listening to it over and over again.. just such sensitivity.. there are much more from the man... but this touched me at the time.. i was watching the sun coming up mind.. the track was food for thought indeed..

i think these are very cool basses, always thought they were cool in every genre... i played one with barts and it was a tone monster..very funky.....heavy mind.. i would love one.. like Low End Bee said..in white would be awsome.. love the black though..

what i love is the look on Roy's face..hes a very funny man... there both amazing.. a great groove..

What on earth is this thread doin right back here!!!??? (ive been away for a while) This might revive it!! Klique..i cant get enough..

owned 11 at one point..why i dont know...i only own one bass now.. unless your a pro,or in more than one band, i really cant see the point of owning more than one good bass..

i had a $$ and the sounds was bbaaadddd assssss..huge sounding bass.. proper muscle bass

ok ive been playing for 10+ years, but i know very little about my amp, apart from how to EQ it..i know its a good amp and i love the sound.. i bought it because i played a jazz bass through the head from a friend, that i now own, and loved the sound it produced.. i know basses inside out.. ive taken every bass i have owned (which is poss about 19) apart, modded them, set them up, put them back together... i really know my basses, but i really cant connect with amps.. i just dont get the same GAS for amps... i personally think if its a good,,ish amp the bass will speak to you.. but its funny because thats really the first amp in your signal.. maybe i was lucky and got the amp i like the sound of the best in the first place...or maybe there is a better amp i like?

That Jazz is sweeeet..

Nine months interest-free credit is fine, so long as you can keep up with the repayments. There's no shortage of car dealers who'll offer you similar terms if it means that you buy a car you can't afford. If you can afford nine months of instalment payments, then you can afford to save up for nine months and never need to take on the debt in the first place. Am I missing something?[/quote] your missing nothing..people are impatient.. but if you can afford it, why not have it sooner than later.. if its interest free i dont see the problem.. i was going to take it up when i was better financially, but im not that bothered that now i cant..

ive been lucky after a very long time without a band at all... im just starting with a keys player and a great drummer whos into jazz funk..

be careful..im not saying this could be a problem but pain/ache is your bodys way of telling you that its under strain..especially if it doesnt go away

i would suggest a Lakland 55-02.. fantastic basses.. of course the SR5 is an amazing instrument, but the Laky is a little more versatile... what am i saying?? get the Stingray...the best mass produced electric bass on the planet

I'll throw in my two pence worth here, I have a GB Rumour which was built for me a couple of years ago and has a fantastic feel, look and sound. Great as it is I am having a lot of fun with my beat up old 74 jazz bass at the moment which yes you could say is still an expensive bass because it is old but at time of manufacture would have been seen as cheap compared to a custom built bass from a bespoke luthier. To compound this I have also just bought a 1977 Musicman Stingray and I bet that will get some serious use when it arrives next week. So I can see where you are are coming from, mass produced basses can give the bespoke lot a good run for their money but ultimately it depends what you are really after, great sound and feel or that and a stunning looker too!! If you want all three then you have to go bespoke and spend big!![/quote]i will make an exeption when it comes to your GB Mark...

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1167901' date='Mar 19 2011, 02:53 AM']First of all congratulation for your 11th year of playing bass! Stingray are great basses, I have had two for over 12 years, I repeat great basses but not the best 5 strings on the planet, even I believed that up to a certain point in my life... but I don't need to boast about the bass that made me change that perspective, most people already know what I have found to be the ultimate 5 strings bass. (my Avatar is a give-away ) I agree wholehartedly: you can get any low entry bass provided its not really really dirt cheap that it falls apart, something like a Squire CV makes for a fantastic platform and you can have great fun modding it to your heart content, with whatever part takes your fancy, you can get a new neck, get some sh|t hot pickups, bridge, tuners, you can have one neck fretted and get a spare one fretless, but let me tell you even changing a pickguard to something you like and find to really enhance the look of your bass is the greatest satisfation. You did it your way and the reward is great.[/quote]thankyou.. well i should really have said...."the best mass produced 5 string on the planet.. that i will stand by.. cant really compete with a Dinger.. but thats just physics and a bass making master... your Jazz is wonderful by the way.. the GAS is all mine.. that really has to sound fantastic.... whats it like by the way... ive always been curious... smooth tone, polite, agressive?

This band for me are the BOmb... Aquanote... for those who care..
