[quote name='Dread Bass' post='1104521' date='Jan 26 2011, 10:53 PM']Hi. I have only played a seven once it was a Conklin. It was a nice bass. I would suggest you consider going the custom route it does work out cheaper than you think. The beauty is if you are picky like me you can have it exactly as you like. When iget mine you are more than welcome to give it a blast.[/quote] How much is your AGC looking like so far? I'd love too should th oppertunity arise thanks man! If your ever in the 'deen with the beast i'll take you up on that

[quote name='Finbar' post='1102630' date='Jan 25 2011, 07:41 PM']Conklin GT-7 or GTBD-7. Almost everyone I know who plays/played 7s got into it through these basses. They're great quality, and you can pick them up for very decent prices second hand. Don't buy a Galveston off eBay just because it's cheap, only to be put off by the weight and clunkiness of it.[/quote] Only problem with the Conklins is the price =S They have no european dealer (even though i asked Bill Conklin himself and he said he would like one!) and thus the import tax combined with actual price comes out at like £1300 new, I'd LOVE a Conklin GTBD-7 fully active basses aren't my thing, and it would have to be red haha (I'm so picky =S) Weight isn't a 'huge' issue but clunky? How so? Generally unrefiened design? Thanks guys Wish i could afford to get a new GTBD-7 =(

Yamaha RBX gets my vote!

Thats Truckstop's if i'm right!

For those of you who currently play a 7 string whats the best way to get into playing a 7 string? I'm pretty interested!

Tell me what you can about the GK!

Its a huuuggggeeee thing in japan doing vids as a girl for guys. Quite surreal but if you get a kick from doing it/watching it? haha

Haha saw these on Ibanezs facebook last year, when they were only prototypes, someone posted a link on here i think?

[quote name='7string' post='1089978' date='Jan 14 2011, 11:08 PM']Yup, I went from a 4 to a 6 as well. It was great fun and wasn't that bad at all. Got lost a few times, but nothing too serious [/quote] Were talking all over Basschat tonight haha I still get lost, on a four string

[quote name='7string' post='1089974' date='Jan 14 2011, 11:06 PM']See if DiMarzio will sell you one of the new blade pickups to put in your Attitude LTD II [/quote] Ooooo errrr! Hahaha Maybe! But its a limited edition 20th anniversary in sea foam green with limited neck pickup cover signed and all hahaha But teh value is shot anyway, some bugger put a lighter to the bridge so its a little scarred =S I'll e-mail Larry DiMarzio see if i can

[quote name='7string' post='1089938' date='Jan 14 2011, 10:28 PM']This is turning into a MM5 love-in See if you can try a 5 string out for a while and see how you get on. Don't worry too much about the extra string, just dive in!![/quote] +2 (+2, one for each string i leapt from the 4 stringer!) Was fine for me! still working out and refining the technique on it, but its not like a new instrument

[quote name='7string' post='1089952' date='Jan 14 2011, 10:43 PM']Oooo. One Attitude 3 please [/quote] I'm praying the list price is for the three is £1500-£1800 sort of region that way i might be able to get one in 5 years :/ The neck pup has been altered to have BLADES, YAY NO DROP OUT! I <3 blades to a dimarzio custom shop one which is bassed on the BB714bs and is not the model one! Very very keen to play one!

[quote name='JimBobTTD' post='1088872' date='Jan 14 2011, 06:22 AM']I would skip the head, AttitudeCastle, and just go for the lightweight cabs. The GK RB head I have is hardly light, but it is solid and reliable and sounds lush and carrying it won't pull my back out or give me a hernia. The cabs, on the other hand...[/quote] I think your right man! Just got to find the money! GASing for a New Yammie hah

Just found this! [url="http://uk.yamaha.com/news_events/musical_instruments/namm_2011_guitbass/"]http://uk.yamaha.com/news_events/musical_i..._2011_guitbass/[/url] (Scroll down past the acoustics, there is also a BB424/5x model there too!) Gonna be saving for a while to get that attitude =/ Major GAS! AC P.S I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED THE ATTITUDE TO HAVE A BLADED NECK PICKUP The drop out was kind of annoying and IMHO the only flaw with the bass, i will miss Sea Foam green though

I've been toying with the idea of getting an MB(2)500 and a Neo 212 II but the total cost is like £900 (off the top of my head buying from various places) to have a nice lightweight rig, so for pretty much the same thing, with probably just less quality the MB212 combo which is about £600 Though the First option means i can switch the head out and use an RB head when i get more.

Most expensive Doorstop i'll never own. Though i like the name

[quote name='El Bajo' post='1085777' date='Jan 11 2011, 05:33 PM']I love the metallic sound, but when they die, they really die. My B string sounds dire at the moment I need to get that sorted asap.[/quote] Agreed! I find them really hit and miss when it comes to the life length of Rotos! The last set i had on my 4 string, lasted for 9 or so months, where as the new set is loosing its metallicness and its only been a month

[quote name='4000' post='1084658' date='Jan 10 2011, 07:12 PM']I love the sound of them. Simple as that. Haven't come across anything else I like half as much, but then it all depends what bass they're on and what sound you're after. Oh, and I actually [i]like[/i] the abrasive feel. Maybe it's just me then. [/quote] Same! I love the sharpness, though i find it wierd when strings aren't like that! IMHO (IMHO ONLY!) Rotosounds are miles better than D'addario and Elixer, both sound too "soft" and "Lifeless" and just flat too me. And similar with DR, but the Drs were 'springier' which slapped awesomely But didn't sound like my rotos, so i always went back.

[quote name='dood' post='1082461' date='Jan 8 2011, 07:07 PM']Amongst my favourites would be: Paul Gilbert and John Pettrucci... yes, I know, I know.. but actually their playing style and approach to their instruments has been a huge influence on me and my playing. Their strings are just thinner ha ha![/quote] If i'd know guitarists were allowed i would have said the same and steve vai xD Haha, My mum and i have been after a PGM300 (The non trem one) for two years for my brothers 21st! Another year too go haha
