    [quote name='Bankai' post='1117323' date='Feb 6 2011, 04:05 AM']What actually makes a keeper is an emotional attachment. Instead people use keeper as a adjective for a bass that is technically good.[/quote] Excellently put sir !!

    Never found two of the same model that are the same, no logic in that just the way it is, two exact same basses an can be worlds apart. Out of my two Stingrays, the one Ive had from new (the only bass/guitar Ive ever had from new) an the other was pretty beat up when i got it, no plains to sell either, cant think of a reason why id want to have to sell them, lived on 9p noodles to get them an will do it again if ever get that broke. But saying that, i have in the past brought basses/guitars that were the "The one to rule everything", only not to bond with them an move them on to a more deserving home. (think thats just getting GAS out of your system, gotta have a ........ only to find out its not for you) What ever though, "Its all good fun "

    [quote name='MythSte' post='1112808' date='Feb 2 2011, 06:49 PM']I don't suppose you've been able to compare these to Elixirs have you?[/quote] Yeah, Ive been using the EB COATED for nearly 2yrs now an swear by them,(not just saying that cause trying to sell a couple of sets) Compared to Elixirs they don't feel [b]as[/b] slippery/greasy to the touch as the elixirs, but you can still tell they are coated. Starting another post as i have another set that I'm wanting to sell if you interested in trying a 4 set.

    [s]Ive got a brand new, unopened, set of "Ernie Ball COATED" bass strings, Five string set gaged, 130-100-80-65-45 Brought them an not going to be needing them any time soon so thought id have an ask an see if anybody wants them cheep rather than them just sitting on my shelf, or waste them by breaking them down into a four string set, similar sets are going on ebay for £36+pp see here [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ernie-Ball-Coated-Regular-Slinky-5-String-Bass-45-130-/190347159709?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5193289d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ernie-Ball-Coated-Re...=item2c5193289d[/url] So what i was thinking was a flat £30 including postage as a paypll gift, UK sale only please[/s] [size=4]SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD[/size] ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ [s]Got a another set that I'm not going to be using if anybody is interested, There the Super Slinky gage, 100-80-65-45 Coated. Here is the cheapest set of them i could find on ebay £29.99 + P&P [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ERNIE-BALL-COATED-SUPER-SLINKY-BASS-STRINGS-45-100-/370468526687?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item5641a51a5f"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ERNIE-BALL-COATED-SU...=item5641a51a5f[/url] Only reason I'm wanting to sell is i use the Regular gage on my one Stingray (105-85-70-50) an the supers as listed on the other, Ive made a conscious decision to stick to one gage of Hybrids (met myself in the middle lol) on both of them so wont be needing them. I'm asking a £25 all in posted to you.[/s]

    Delay For Bass

    danny-79 replied to D-COOPER's topic in Effects

    I use a "Marshall ecohead" when I'm using delay, there pretty good value for the money with (i think its 6 mabey 7) different types of delay on them including a ere reverse kind of effect, plus you can add a tap tempo to it, You can usually pick them up pretty cheaply on ebay used. (there really not that much new either, lot of effect for your money). But sorry no personal experience with the TC Flashback delay/looper to comment.

    Hold out for a used MMSR, you should be able to pick one up for around £600 or less even an wont lose anything on it if you decide to sell it .

    [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1098654' date='Jan 22 2011, 01:54 PM']you can't beat a nice shiny bit of chrome or the cool patina that builds up on nickel-plated.[/quote] Will second that, Ive got a Sigma SDR-41 acoustic, that has gold tuners on it, Ive had the guitar about 10yrs now, they suite the guitar well (only guitar that i have ever owned with gold an the last) its starting to look cheep now with it rubbing off, dulling etc so i say NO as well, especially as it wont match the rest of the bass ! But saying that gold does look good on somethings. At the end of the day its your bass but if the tuners that are on it now are causing you tuning issues then just upgrade.

    I always leave mine in the hard case when I'm not using it, stands are fine as someplace to put it down while your playing but leaving them on one permanently, anything could happen, it falls off the stand , hits the ground nut first an ..... well rest is history (possibly along with your bass to) Wall hangers are not that bad (still not for me though) hanging on a wall constantly exposed to the elements (sunshine, cold etc) At the end of the day it takes seconds to flip a couple of catches an open the lid on a case if you need it that quickly !! (like you put your seat belt on soon as you get in your car an pray you never need it etc etc )

    Nice one ! Building from the ground up is cool, sounds like the only original part of that "what once WAS a squire vibe" is only the body !! all good an nice work !

    [quote name='Barefootbassplayer' post='1036060' date='Nov 25 2010, 12:06 PM']Its interesting because when I have gigged abroad I have just put it in teh outsized luggage area and picked it up along with my luggage and never had a single question asked at either end.[/quote] My thoughts exactly, I travel back an forth between the UK an USA quite frequently, sometimes taking a bass with me sometimes not, on the one occasion that i did buy a bass in America in bring it back to the UK it was just checked as part of my luggage an i picked it up the other end (never been lucky enough to be able to carry one on in its hard case as hand luggage an have a flight attendant find it a spot in the cabin but saying that Ive never been unfortunate enough to ever have the airline lose one either). But can imagine that its different if you buy one on-line/over the phone etc an have it posted to you, its a parcel shaped object that will have to pass customs like anything else therefore drawing attention to its self with the paperwork that will be with it saying exactly what it is, what its worth an ware its going etc etc ... But if you find yourself in a situation ware you are in another country [i]in person[/i], why not bring yourself a souvenir back !

    Good choice on the Bongo! Ive got a Bongo 5HH thats on loan to me at the minute an gotta say that i love it, apart from the four band EQ with what seems like endless possibility's of tones, with everything set flat the pick up blend alone is something else, your gonna love it ! Looking forward to pics an congrats on your score !

    I brought my sunburst Stingray at the start of the year while out in Denver, i brought it used an all i had to pay at the airport was a $30 excess baggage charge.
