The iPhone would be out of date before you got it home anyways, (don't get the "IN" phone thing that do everything apart from make calls, its a freeking telephone man whats there to get all hot an bothered over with them ??, personaly "idon't" <---<insert pun> get it ??????? ) ...BUT.... the bass will never go out of date an only improve with time so good score !!

Vesta Curry's !! Nom !!!! the Chow Main one was my fave , with the crispy noodles NOM NOM NOM lol Anyways ...... £25 for a P copy of any description is a good find ! So nice score !

Got my hart set on an[b] EBMM Reflex HH......[/b]Cant think of anything else of interest to me at the min.

[quote name='drewm' post='1162375' date='Mar 14 2011, 09:03 PM']I've fitted mine with a Badass II, a set of EMG pups, new strings, tuners and a Status graphite neck. Playing it, you'd never know it only cost 60 quid. I kid, I kid. [/quote] Triggers Broom !!!

Always use strap locks, not that i ever throw the bass about to warrant ever needing them but its a bit like putting your seat belt on when you get in your car etc .... pray you never need it. One off job of fitting them, if you lucky enough to have more than one bass stick to the same brand of locks then can swap, change straps around with minimal hassle etc. [quote name='casapete' post='1161855' date='Mar 14 2011, 03:08 PM']I use Jim Dunlop Straploks, the plastic ones that cost around a couple of quid a pair. Unlike the metal Strap Lock system these does mean you don't have to alter your guitar or strap. Never had a bass come off using these yet. (Also +1 for the Grolsch washers ! )[/quote] Found these to me very useful and cost effective especially when planning on using them on something like a Rickenbacker (i.e don't need to change/swap over original strap buttons) Keep the gaffer tape for taping leads down (or throwing at the drummer ) Grolsch washer, WIN WIN WIN

Yeah will keep an eye on this thread ! Good luck with it !

Yeah defiantly keep it But as a guess, aim for about a grand for that one, again its market depending an whose looking for one at the time you wanting to sell it etc !

Just found this thread, looking forward to seeing the end result, great choice of colour BTW.

[quote name='Jimelliottbassist' post='1156940' date='Mar 10 2011, 05:27 PM']Come om HH is surely the way to go!!!!! [/quote] More aint always more !! Still a good move though

This is a 1976 4001 that belongs to my Mrs I know that if she was wanting to sell it she would want more than 250 of anything anything for it (try another 0 on the end) ! But as others have said, what you have payed for and what you have got is still a pretty good deal ! have a look around an see what you can get for 250 ! not a lot of anything ! (a sue ryder bass maby )

I'm not that much of a fret-less player myself but its defiantly nice to have one kicking about! When i did the conversion on my Aria the obvious choice was to put a set of flat's on it, but its its lots of MAWAW you after, stick with rounds

[quote name='Beedster' post='1155489' date='Mar 9 2011, 03:56 PM']H is ahead by some distance but I think I'm going HH just to be awkward [/quote] HH Still a good move though

[quote name='Beedster' post='1154285' date='Mar 8 2011, 07:05 PM']Thanks, fair points. A couple of questions. Does it not simply add to the options rather than water it down? How does the Bongo HH differ from the 'ray HH? C[/quote] The distinctive sound of a Stingray is unique, so to me adding more pick up options is ??? kind of milking something that was unique in the first place so if its a different sound your looking for..... now we onto the Bongo I had a loner a while back an was blown away by it, double HH, the EQ is amazing, set everything flat to start an just see what you can do with the pickup blend alone, it sounds nothing like a Stingray, even in bridge humbucker only mode so the additional humbucker in the neck with the blend option works great for unlimited possibility's thats before you start on the EQ (high/low mids, treble BASS!!!) The model i had was a five, being mainly a four string player i was very impressed with the low B of how usable it was, 99% of other fiver's Ive used have been rattly an sloppy an off putting but this was great ! lovely feel to the neck very playable an versatile. [u]On the downside.....[/u] it was VERY neck heavy, possibly a combination of the five heavy machine heads that are great when fitted to a bass thats made of [u]real wood [/u] (i.e a Stingray) but on something thats made of a light weigh, sustainable material, it doesn't work to well (add some light weight tuners an your set). So with that said, with the Bongo your paying for the electronic package so if you intend on gigging it hard, don't expect it to be a life long keeper, it will wear out.

[quote name='Beedster' post='1153993' date='Mar 8 2011, 04:09 PM']Great stuff guys, it's pretty much a 2-way race between H and HH at present but HS ain't out of the picture. e[/quote] you pretty much summed up the question, there is no right or wrong answer as all three are just as good as each other just different in there own way, it all comes down to the sound your trying to achieve at the end. For me its single H on a Stingray all the way ! its a sound / tone that you can hear in a mix a mile away anything else usually is something else, adding more pickups to a perfect recipe is like watering it down, trying to turn it into something it isn't so if you feel the need for additional pick up options / configurations etc you might be better off going in another direction, (Bongo HH is killer sounding but thats another story)

Neil is one of my all time favorites, nice one an good job !
