[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)

Thanks

I'll take get some pics up later

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.

PM'd

ok thanks

bump

would you consider splitting them?
I'd like the head only

Any Jack Bruce wannabe's?

Err....No

cheers for that though

it wouldn't let me put actual pics in the post only links i'm afraid

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

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

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

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!

Hi everybody

I have an Epiphone EB3 and have been playing bass for about a year but guitar for a lot longer.
