I'm thinking of looking at trying out an Ibanez SR900. For those of you that have one or have tried one out what do you think of it? What were the Pro's and con's for you? And if you do own one any problems down the line?

my second bass, a schecter stiletto elite 4. was beautiful and I havnt been as happy with a bass since. by the way anyone want a stingray?

[quote name='thumbo' post='94333' date='Nov 25 2007, 11:20 PM']He's awesome!

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Les Claypool yet. I find his bass lines incredibly hard to play and sing along with because of the wacky rhythms he uses.[/quote]

I know!

Troy Sanders - solid bass player, good writer, and an amazing vocalist

flea never used stingray's on his recordings unless its a five stringer track. BSSM was a spector as far as I know.

although you have 2 stingrays already, you blatently want another one in natural with a maple neck yeah?

Blood and Thunder at an Indie gig A band dropped out so my band who were there to support mates and were slightly drunk came on stage and bashed out this tune...We played it amazingly, however the guys in skinny jeans were as a member of the audience said later a bit 'scared'

BUMP with new condiitons!!!

I hate you!!!! I would but I can't!!!!!!! OH WHY!!!!! how long until you REALLY have to let it go?

I would go or a CIJ. Don't worry about re-sale value because when you have one I wouldn't sell it. Because you WILL regret it.

I you want a passive jazz go for the sandberg passive california. cheap and nice. I want one

you cant really 'dance' to song 2 by blur reaLLy.

Any decent and gibb or bee gees or jackson will get people moving. Ive always thought of doing a cool assortment of a timberlake song, people have to dance to him man....

If this was naturel I'll be all over it but the blue slightly puts me off.....do you do swaps at all? I Have my Stingray up atm?

bump

I don't think I even KNOW that amount of bass players.

Jaco - has the odd nice song, part from that no thank you.

Cliff Burton - Used to love the guy, but now I just realise he was a decent bassist who was simply louder than the rest.

Steve Harris - Dum dadadum dadadum dadadum dadaum

[quote name='Soulfinger' post='87237' date='Nov 12 2007, 11:54 AM']Not true. In fact, it was Carol Kaye.

She´s just too modest to admit it.[/quote]

Not true. In fact, it was Les Claypool when he was three.

Thats why his technique is 'a bit sloppy'.

THIS IS NOW FOR SALE. I bought this of Loudandclear (Terry) A few months back so he can vouch that this Bass is spotless and sounds like a monster. Its the 3 Band EQ model and comes with a MM hard case.

I'm looking for around £680 so please give any offers!!!

I'm based in Hampshire and I don't really want to post at the moment.

Any questions please ask!!!





apologies for the low standard of pictures

OMGosh they are loverly!!! Wht I nice body shape!!!

Thanks for all the ideas!!! I think I'm hunching my right shoulder...looked in th mirror at my posture...Try and rectify that!!! How heavy are Jazz's compared to stingrays?

Its my right shoulder so it cant be a strap problem. But i'll try warming up. Any other ideas?

Ive been playing for 3-4 years and I havn't had any problems until I've started playing a stingray where my right shoulder hurts. I'm not sure whether I'm tensing it up or something my it starts to ache quite quickly. Any suggestions?

I have a Stingray 3 band and love it. The Bongo's have amazing tone variety and feel but...the looks

Thats nice. I mean really nice. If i had the money I SOOO would. Do you take computers? bikes? ANYTHING!!!!!! I have a small malaysian slave somewhere....

best value out there...shame they don't have more options i.e colours, fingerboard wood
