  1. i'll have them please. paypal ok? Dale [quote name='ikay' post='1070829' date='Dec 28 2010, 11:06 AM']New set of Picato 766 stainless steel flats - 45/65/85/105/130 (if you only need four, at this price just don't use the B-string). I'm now using Thomastik flats so this set is no longer needed. £15 delivered (UK only) [attachment=67231:Picato_flats.jpg][/quote]

  6. Well i just called in to the music shop on the off chance and they actually had both basses there. The BB probably had the biggest range of sounds but i think it would be better as a passive more vintage style bass, i'll have to try a 414 at some point. After playing the RBX i preferred the feel of the neck and the upper fret access, also the sound suited me better so that's what i bought. Got it for £275 including a gig bag so i'm quite happy with that.

[quote name='Machines' post='952886' date='Sep 11 2010, 04:59 PM']A pewter BB615 should look pretty damned awesome in a metal band and will serve you well.[/quote] Well i was leaning toward the BB and it just so happens that the pewter one is the cheapest so may well go that route. I was just wondering if you can get a Fieldy type sound with only the 2 band eq on an RBX? Obviously it's not essential but useful, to me anyway cheers Spacehog
  8. So i sold my EB3 and a guitar and now need a bass suitable for metal and hopefully versatile enough for some classic rock/blues It needs to be a 5 string for the detuned stuff and i much prefer a wide string spacing. The two yamaha's mentioned seem to fit the bill but i'm not sure which would suit me better. I prefer the look of the BB615 and suspect it may be more versatile in the sound department, it also has 3 band eq so i could maybe dial out the mids for a Korn type sound. The RBX375 looks more 'metal' though and i would guess the humbuckers have a bit more grunt. I would prefer a lighter bass if possible so not sure which one is heavier. Obviously i should go to a shop and try them but i thought i'd get some opinions first, plus my 'local' shop doesn't have the biggest selection. honestly if i had the money i'd probably buy both and they can both be had for around £270 depending on colour.

  9. would you consider splitting them? I'd like the head only Spacehog
  10. Err....No cheers for that though
  11. it wouldn't let me put actual pics in the post only links i'm afraid
