The SB325 remains a seriously good active 5-string, high-quality components, well made, and they sell for silly (i.e. cheap) money on eBay when they turn up. Bass Collections are also lighter than Fenders and their clones. An SB325 weighs slightly less than most 4-string Fenders.[/quote] +1 for the (first run of) Bass Collections, i had two 5 strings, 355 Model i think (it was active with soapbars) fantastic basses, you should be able to find them now second hand easily for £200! I don't know what the new versions of the brand are like so can't comment on those! With regards to restringing a 4 string BEAD, you've simply got to ask what you're going to be using the tool for, if you need a low B and a 4th octave high E, then it's obviously useless. But if you're doing riffing down low, then yeah cool!. Si

I'm originally from Colchester, live in Bucks now but try and get back a fair bit to see the parents! Si

If anyone ever asks to use my basses (no-one has yet) at an originals gig, i simply would say that they're in weird tunings, which they are (not weird but lower). But even if they were in standard, I'd say that! :-D That way you get to say no without the guy going around everyone say "he's a twat" lol Just call me a diplomat! Si

I have 2 basses for each of my 2 projects. 2 Passive basses for covers, main and backup 2 active basses for my originals band, 2 different tunings if i had the money i'd have another 2 basses as backups for the differently tuned basses. One day :-D Probably when someone else is carrying my gear lol The only bass that isn't really doing anything at the mo is my Shuker EUB (see FS section ) Si

The recorded version of Dina Lam is on the album Munia: The Tale, theres a bit more instrumentation going on and he plays the main part on Piccolo rather then his Fodera, but it's still an awesome song. If you don't know his material, don't go buying his albums thinking its all solo bass stuff, it's mostly song based with only a few instances where he really steps out, perfect!!! An amazing musician and songwriter not just bassist. His live shows are bit more 'explosive' bass wise, i highly recommend them!! Si

I do hope he's joking just to rub it in your face! if he's not, just clench your teeth, and tell yourself its his money he's wasted Si

Actually, bit of a waste, just been told it's locked at the moment haha Nevermind Try this instead in the meantime, pretty funny I know i gash up the timing at the end, no-one cringes more then me [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VamUck6pNgo"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VamUck6pNgo[/url] Si

could be handy! Added you on myspace! Si

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWDHruhj4V0"] Check it out [/url] Yeah i know i play it wrong at the end, but I'm not really a chili's fan so i just play it my way lol. Although the video is a composite of about 3 takes, the audio track is a live, albeit multi-tracked, recording of one of those takes. I'm not sure why we did it, get better gigs perhaps, i didn't pay so i don't mind Its all pretty tongue in cheek Si

HomeBass?? hehe JOKEJOKEJOKE! Ummm, Danelectro make (made?) some cool smaller basses! Si

Fugly basses! Si

If Spiders have 8 legs are they 'Extended Range' animals? Si
