Damn! Pwnd...

[quote]As far as im aware the 4 Strings are only made in Japan.[/quote] Ah right. Still, I love them in the sunburst finish...

Eugh... can't see the appeal of the one in the ebay link. The white, real blue and gothic ones though are nice...apparently they have major neckdive though?

Hmm, I could never get on with my SGC...though looks wise I always thought it was pretty sweet, especially how the finish continued up the neck (see the pic). Though apparently some came with Paduak tops at some point according to the shop that sold me mine. Mine also had Seymour Duncan PU's on an active circuit. Probably a retrofit but hey. Also if anyone is interested in buying one, last time I was in a store near me there was a 5 string (possibly a 325?) SGC in white with the SGC pickups, rosewood board and matching headstock. PM me if anyone wants the info Cheers, Ash Oh yeah and here she was when I had her...

[quote name='woodster' post='9724' date='May 31 2007, 09:42 AM']The 4 strings are Japanese whilst the 5's are American.[/quote] A while ago I think I got offered a US 4 string in a trade? Of course I'm probably wrong but did they maybe switch production to japan at some point?

It's yours isn't it? nah kidding, looks sweet. Anyone gonna take it?

I've always been a fan of the lower end peaveys, like the international series. Give em a lookee!

[quote name='Hamster' post='9143' date='May 30 2007, 01:07 PM']the volume pedal is the only pedal he uses.[/quote] Not sure where his distortion comes from, but I'm pretty sure he had more than just a volume pedal when he played with the Dwarves at Download Festival last year...

[quote name='dood' post='11578' date='Jun 3 2007, 10:09 PM']I'm slightly put off my what *looks* like areally wide string spacing. Mebbe it's just that hooj bridge that makes it look that way?[/quote] Possibly, though I think camera perspective and how they took the photo might be making it look wider than it is. Never been much of a bongo fan but that one does look sweet! Ash

Standard and drop D in my main band. Eb for the guitar w***ery band I'm in. Doesn't matter to me though, just stick with my 5er

Good lord That's a helluva hit that's taken, it's always sad to see a good bass go down I'm now slightly worried myself now, I've just sent a mixer to Copenhagen with parcelforce :S . Luckily it's below £150 in value and it's boxed with ridiculous amounts of bubble wrap but still... This sucks, I hope everything works out for you, Ash

The dude from maroon 5 (Mickey Madden?) possibly? I think his lines are subtle and really add depth to some of their songs. For instance "Sunday Morning", I think the bassline makes that song. Also the guy who did bass on alot of mamas and papas tracks, in particular "dream a little dream..." for the same reasons. It isn't exceptionally technical or flashy but it really adds to the song. My two cents. Ash

waaay! First post on the new boards . Personally with £700 I'd look for a second hand pedulla rapture from canada or the US. V. v. v. nice basses. Good luck! Post some pics of whatever you buy Ash
