[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1341870142' post='1725544'] Nice post sime17 I have gas for both the Lakland and G&L, the Laklands don't have quite as much bite as a Ray IMO but they have a cracking range of useable tones and match the EBMM for build quality, great basses. [/quote] I chucked a 44-02 in for my '95 Ray. Great bass, super-light and really nicely put together. You could honestly play if all day and not know you'd been playing. Just far too polite on the bridge pick-up solo'ed. Doesn't do the Ray sound, in short.

Way to go Cameron!

I don't understand all this new gear. Whatever happened to just asking your drummer to put his dick in it?

Hmm... Anyone have a 4 string Stealth and want an SR5?

Ok, I buy that it's great - and the burnt orange has received my approval... though I think I'd prefer the matt black version they do; but... ... what's [i]so[/i] different about the pre-amp? Am I getting something different than hitting up an HH Stingray? I was quite late to the Stingray camp, though am now a massive fan - as my PM history with Gareth will attest to!

Great price. Accepting offers too, bizarrely.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1341304528' post='1716513'] Gibson basses, expressed as an algorithm: [CODE] REPEAT create new bass WHILE bass still available FOR timer = 1 to a number picked out of a hat less than 10 sell bass NEXT IF NOT outsold Fender AND bass != Thunderbird THEN discontinue bass ENDWHILE UNTIL company bankrupt [/CODE] [/quote] That is f***ing brilliant

I sensed the disturbance in the force.

Now that is nice!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1341796699' post='1724330'] Mope not! It's all relative, mate! Many years ago I was a founder member of a band which I subsequently left because I didn't think they were all that, really. A track I recorded with them later went to number three in the UK, selling 750,000 records. They recorded two more successful singles, two successful albums and toured the world. I got bugger all. [/quote] You were in Atomic Kitten?

Blocks and [i]ring binding[/i]. Very punk.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1341666886' post='1722496'] Andy at Wizard is very approachable, helpful and willing to chat through your requirements. [/quote] He's a total dude

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1341689963' post='1722901'] I think it would be A not D. [/quote] Sorry, my typo - I normally use drop D, so it's on the brain. I have tried dropping the B to an A around the standard drop D tuning, but... well, it has it's moments.

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1341689357' post='1722885'] Has anyone ever had a D-tuner fitted on a 5 string bass on the B string ??? Is it possible ?? Pros & cons ? [/quote] Is it possible? I imagine so. Pros: you no longer have a spare D-tuner. Cons: that lowest-of-low As is very low indeed. And potentially a little bit Pele.

Pretty essential piece of kit for an authentic restoration!

[quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1341620874' post='1722078'] Have you seen the ESP LTD Surveyers? I know far from a Mike Lull but sounds like your sort of bass [/quote] I've wanted to try one of these for a while. They seem to do well enough for the chap in Karma to Burn, and that's much the playing style and style of music I've been trying to emulate, so hey... I just need to find one at a realistic price, or find a nearby user to let me have a go.

Into The Void is my personal favourite - though I now hear that line in so many others!

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1341620679' post='1722075'] approx. one in four of their tracks i like. the rest i could live without. all in all, not bad for a pop band. [/quote] About the same. When they're on, they're on... just it's one in four, or thereabouts, these days.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1341608032' post='1721887'] Wot you reckon to this? [/quote] I quite like it. But I quite like bad things. I'm a wrong 'un, that's for sure. I'll admit, I would have traded my birthday blowie and nice meal (which I'm sure I've represented in the wrong order, Basschat) for something more material
