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] -

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

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.

This was my first bass and it is a lovely instrument but not what i need right now. This is a korean made one and i believe the latest ones are Chinese. It is virtually unmarked except for a few very light scratches on the back which would polish out. The pickup covers are showing some signs of corrosion but nothing much. As you can see on the pics i made a small stainless steel extension for the strap button which eliminates the neck dive. i'm looking for around £130 but may px it for a decent 5 string metal type bass (ibanez etc) I'm based in Norwich area and don't really fancy posting it as i don't have a hard case for it cheers Spacehog [url="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt3/spacehog1978/guitar/eb3body.jpg"]body[/url] [url="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt3/spacehog1978/guitar/eb3back.jpg"]back[/url] [url="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt3/spacehog1978/guitar/eb3neckdown.jpg"]neck[/url]

Thanks guys, i guess it's possible but not advisable I recently played through a Peavey Tour 700 in a shop and it was awesome, and i guess not a bad price £400. The rehersal room has a Behringer bx4500 which after about an hour of tinkering sounded ok so could be a cheap option? cheers Spacehog

I'm quite new to the bass scene and don't yet have a rig. Myself and a guitarist are putting together a metal band so i figure i'll need plenty of power. I was thinking of the possibility of using a preamp like a Hartke VXL and then going straight into a cheap but powerful power amp like this one [url="http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Skytec-Stereo-Power-Amp-1000W/BID"]power amp[/url] is this a good idea? Cheers Spacehog

For me it was a Vintage AV4 i bought off the net (lesson learned!) When it arrived the action was about 8 foot so i tightened the truss rod which was so tight it felt like it was going to snap. Eventually i got the action to a reasonable height but then the neck was badly twisted so i sent it back and after a month of agro finally got my money back.

Errr yeah i've now ordered it, can't wait now!

Thanks guys, i might have to sell the EB3 as i'm about to order a bass from Prosebass!
