Ghosts Over Japan

man thats a really nice bass, how does slap sound on that? can you get a good tone?

i really realy like the headstock on that samick

hmmm all this talk of teenagers and with this post being in the bass PORN bit is quite dodgy

you teacher talks bollocks (y) listen to some of the old incubus, some of there songs use some well placed open notes all you have to do is use your left hand to mute them and the open might be the exact note you need to make that perfect song, because yeah, an open on the E is the same note as fifth fret on the A but even tuned perfect there is still a noticable tone difference hope i coud help

They were the first custom instruments that i ever really got into, looks wise, and i'm glad i managed to eventually buy one. As for the eq...they do indeed have programmable eq, basically, you can set the frequency that you want to boost/cut, it's a bit of a complicated system at first, but it seems quite cool, although, i'm glad mine hasn't got it!!![/quote] coool haha im kinda interested in the programable eq because it could come in handy but i dont think i could afford one with that though! haha well il buy one eventually, watch this space

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='40765' date='Aug 3 2007, 08:54 AM']Never heard of them but looks cool. Why get a US custom built when the UK has lots of custom builders? I've been back to Bernie a few times for tweaks and you cant do that when it comes from the US.[/quote] i really dont know guess my mate just likes them, its his choice not mine altho they are kinda gettin me attracted to them lol but nah ive just decided what im saving up for an it aint one off the lol cheers

to be honest, marleaux must be some of the nicest basses on the eye ive ever seen. never had any experience but im dying to try one, i read something about certain ones having a programmable tone or something an i really want one of them haha these must be the only bass company that have ever interested me this much so in the future im surly to buy one myself

my friend is ordering one of these and im just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them because they look unbelievable lol any infomation is good thank you [url="http://www.gwbasses.com/index.shtml"]http://www.gwbasses.com/index.shtml[/url]
