[quote name='FlatEric' post='844096' date='May 21 2010, 01:17 PM']Hold it right there!!! I think yours is a '79, Toaster?? I have now started to re-string all mine (when they need doing) both toaster and blade. In the past on the 40, I have used Rotosound, Stadium Elites, Martin and D' Addario. Stuck a set of Picato 735 LHY on one of my Toasters, also a 79 and . . . . .WOW!!! I have used up the six sets that I bought and have another 10 sets on the way. I am using these on almost everything now. Where;s the catch??? There isn't one!! Great strings, great feel, great tone, equal balance across all four strings and . . . . . . les than £8 a set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brings out a real "punch, bark and growl" Click on the link below. [url="http://www.stringmail.co.uk/bass.htm"]Stringmail[/url] I'll post a pic of mine later. Cheers.[/quote] Maybe Ill try that. Im gonna be pretty annoyed if I prefer them to the rotosound strings Ive used for the last 4 years as I just got a Rotosound artist deal mind. Does it not stand to reason though that Id get even more growl out of a rail? Mine is indeed a 79 toaster. Maybe I should just save for a rail one, not sell mine A/B the 2 then decide which i prefer. Oh the possibilities..........

I reckon someone missed with the routing machine.

I played mine at rehearsal yesterday through my sans-amp. I had to change the settings a bit from my jazz to compensate for the low end and dead strings combination but once I was done I had some serious growl. I'm really toying with the idea of trying to trade mine for a rail one because they're a little hotter Im told?

Good to see some T-basses around recently. I aquired a 4 not so long ago and I gotta say it sounds amazing!

I also say do it!

Did you buy this after? I have a pearl white Elite II which Id recommend to anyone. I reckon this would be just as good. As far as Im aware it has the same electronics and neck as the black and gold Cliff Burton used. The Elite II is really easy to play for long periods of time and if you have fenders too (as I do) the neck is always a pleasant surprise when you pick it up. I vote do it.

No, that was the problem, i wanted one sound from the bass it was in so a pre woulda been out of place. I have since put an SPB -3 in said bass and I'm now over the moon with the one tone wonder. I'm glad you're happy though. If you ever want to sell it hit me up. I think this could be my perfect bass

Jesus man! thats the coolest thing ever, Its nice to see someone getting some use out of that Delano. I hated it.

SB Elite II proud owner. Ill get some pics up soon. Ive never found a nicer neck

Ok. That is a status S2 of some description. I'm not massively in the know about status basses but that's more than likely a custom build. I'm not sure headed status's are any more valuable than headless ones but this certainly isn't a cheap bass. I'm sure someone on here will be able to give you a good estimate of value or build cost. I'd say that's a very very low price for such an instrument though.

Its out today. Help a brother out?

Hey guys, Just thought Id let you know that my bands record is finally out. You can get hard copies from play, amazon, adsa, tesco, WHsmiths online, or if your a Downloader its on itunes. either way its pretty cheap and Id love some feedback (on the songs, not my playing).

The first expensive bass I ever bought was a Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5. What a hateful waste of money and time that was. I've never spent, nore do i ever intend to spend anything like that money before or since. I reckon its just GAS. You want a new bass but you cant quite justify another 4 so you're thinking about a 5. Take my advice, get a 4.
