What do you fancy a go on this time?[/quote] ooh that big metal thingy that you bought and it was all chipped so you refinished it red and it looked amazing! that one!

[quote name='Stingray5' post='338845' date='Nov 27 2008, 07:32 PM']Nice! Could you do the same in green?[/quote] couldn't with UV, dunno about any other kinds of lighting. anyway, that looks amazing mate, fancy telling us how you did it?

[quote name='Moody' post='338777' date='Nov 27 2008, 06:33 PM']I'd go for the Grovesnor again - awesome venue and a steal. I'll bring the Mark Bass, Line 6 Floor POD, I'll also have a word with the Girlfriend and possiblly bring her Dad's Orange, Mesa Boogie or Trace Elliot (god I love that girl!!!) Feb is good. So long as it's not cold Still very much alive, working flat out trying to learn 8 bloody songs for Dec 20th before I die on my arse! John[/quote] it's horrible isn't it? i got nine to learn and then i gotta write 2 more basslines by the 22nd. and then i'm in year 11 and have got tons of coursework to do. then i got to fit at least a couple of hours of basschat in a night. i have no spare time any more cos playing bass and basschat are real hardships.

i can't see the problem, looks like a fender to me

i'm all up for the grosvenor again, i thought it was good there. i can't comment on the uni, since i haven't seen it, but i can't see that there was a problem with the grosvenor.

[quote name='mewsie' post='338757' date='Nov 27 2008, 06:19 PM']only if you bring us all cake. and when i say 'us all' i mean 'me'.[/quote] any chance you fancy bringing me some cake, too? and make it chocolate, too.

in the original post by IncX there were 45 on one time.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='338406' date='Nov 27 2008, 01:58 PM']Awesome, i assume you'll be dragging luke along with you again? [/quote] he won't need to drag me! i'll be there

[quote name='XB26354' post='337730' date='Nov 26 2008, 09:26 PM']Just to add a bit of balance (excuse the crap joke) but it is very neck heavy. The body feels light and the six-string width together with the hardwood neck is probably what tips it. It's a little better standing up with a strap than seated but you do have to press down with the right forearm, hardly ideal for a 6-string. The basic tone and eq is miles better than the previous incarnation of this bass and the bottom B is very good at any price. A good bass, with better balance I'd prefer it to any sub-£1000 sixer... except the now-discontinued TRB1006.[/quote] i've played the SR506 before and i can't say i noticed any problem with it being neck heavy. and i was sat down, and you said its worse sat down. to be fair though, i've only played it for a short spell once, so its probably more noticable when you actually own the bass. i just thought i'd tell you it didn't seem a problem for me. definatly check one out. mind you, it probably didn't seem a problem cos i was trying to get my head around six strings (being a four string person myself). i'm just contradicting myself now though and not getting my point across, so i'm gonna stop typing

[quote name='MB1' post='334330' date='Nov 22 2008, 11:52 AM']MB1. Pisces man myself!....Sorry!.....I'll get me Coat!.[/quote] I was thinking of a joke along the same lines, but then i realised i am a libra besides, you've already made that joke so it wouldnt be funny anyway.

i've always loved black/black/rosewood, much more than than black/black/maple. especially on a precision, but jazzes look great all black/rosewood, too. so i'm voting black. OR if you do decide tort its gotta be brown tort. red tort is horrible looking.

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='336373' date='Nov 25 2008, 04:19 PM']for the money i don't think you'll get anything as good or versatile.[/quote] +1, ive never played anything as good for the price.

depends what you play, timmy c is nearly always using different levels of distortion throughout Rage Against The Machine songs.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='335093' date='Nov 23 2008, 07:20 PM']If you look at this Thomann kit, and look carefully at the body wood for the "different perspectives", the different example body woods look different. Some seem to have some sort of binding, some don't. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_e_guitar_kit_lp_style.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_e_g...it_lp_style.htm[/url][/quote] the one with binding has a cream pickguard.

its hardly a kit. theyve taken the neck of some bass and are passing it off as a kit.

i play the 4 string version and i love it. a mix of that and my custom bass has stopped any bass gas since easter, there is literally nothing else that i could want. the soundgear is light, with a thin neck and quite a smooth tone - but its easy to get a good growl out of it when you need it, play in favour of the back pickup and boost the treble and mids youve got a real stingray like growl. play in favour of the front pickup, slightly roll of the mids, slighty boost the treble and really boost the bass you got a precision sound. you can really get any sound you could possibly want. i've played the six string and the string spacing is very close together, but if youve played it and dont mind the string spacing i'd go for it, you arent going to have any other problems with it.

it should be a sin to refinish salmon pink as sunburst. i'm not even a huge fan of salmon pink. but its so bright and quite rare, and sunburst is like the most common colour ever and really boring.
