[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1339350185' post='1687255'] Yes there's a PRS too but it's a 4 stringer. I believe the OP is after "the ultimate" fiver, n'est pas? [/quote] im still trying to edge my way in but failing miserably haha What are the fanned frets like on the Dingwall if your playing scales fast? wouldnt mind trying one but i can barely make it to Bass Direct

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1339211492' post='1685449'] Heard both, never played them... I'd love to get my hands on a T-40 though! [/quote] Like hens teeth?

I think as much as anything and not to side on some of these often smug c*nts but . . . . Jobs? The thing about stores I don't like, especially Dawson's Music, is that they bump the prices up so much, it's hardly worth purchasing anything and I think even setups are to a poor standard for what I've paid and what I've experienced. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1339187030' post='1685223'] Plus, if you buy it instore, then get home and realise you aren't happy, you don't have the returns policy (and if you do, its never as strong). [/quote] I know it goes off subject a bit but I found out after taking up a mobile contract at CRAPhone Warehouse and having loads of problems (5 replacements in 4 months all in all) I only have 28 days of returns ect ect where as if I purchased a mobile and "plan" I'd have 6 months of returns or practical insurance, at the end of the first 5 months if I didn't like the phone I could get refunded?!?!?! Suppose what im saying . . . You would think either way, online or in store, being a customer should give you all rights. Pardon me, ramble over ^_^

[quote name='acronym' timestamp='1338383968' post='1673625'] Cool absolute music is like a hour away from me, stringing doesn't seem that much different that the guitar:). You guys had me worried it was something more difficult than that, though I haven't strung a guitar for over 5 years. [/quote] Easier if anything Welcome to the bass world and most importantly Bass Chat Word of advice, keep away from the marketplace, you'll get a bad addiction XD BSB

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1339200731' post='1685407'] Who's Ken? Does he like Peavey basses too? I do, I own three basses and they're all Peaveys! EDIT: Not Ken Smith I take it [/quote] Ever tried a zodiac dude or a T40? Both are perhaps the only Peavey's I'd own

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1339187200' post='1685226'] Three very different instruments there, do you know what you're actually looking for from this bass? [/quote] +1 MM over Fender anyday but also stingray over reflex, IMHO. Never tried a Big Al but they seem pretty sweeeeet ^_^ BSB
-
Looking pretty damn good, hope they sound better

haha fair play, have you found much use in the 5 string and how well have you played on it? The SR5 is a beast in all respects, like the Miller basses; a good thumper but i just have no use for the B for any genres i play in bands or personal tastes. Just to say, if all else fails, you know where to find me but in the mean time, all the best. BSB

Sounds a bit unprofessional from Gibson regarding the finish, I have to say that they are known for their chunky necks which I like due to having big hands . The SG basses are nice, I like making them growl but with being short scale and on a person like me, they look out of place unlike on a Hobbit as Jack Bruce Cheers for your review bud

Greetings from Warwick Basses & Framus Guitars!
bigsmokebass replied to Warwick_Official's topic in Introductions
[quote name='Warwick_Official' timestamp='1339096828' post='1683679'] RockBass' are usually available for under US$1k. Is it possible you're confusing the Pro-Series and Artist-Series basses made in Korea? I'd like to know about a dealer selling a RockBass for a few grand...thanks! [/quote] You are correct Garey, second look and it's the Pro Series I was looking at, what guidelines do the Koreans follow if you don't mind me asking? I know it won't be like a Chinese sweat shop but just wondering Sorry for the I correction -

[quote name='darkandrew' timestamp='1339085469' post='1683442'] Hi, do you have any more info on the bass' condition - it looks pretty much "as new" in the photos but it's sometimes a bit hard to tell. Cheers. By the way, where abouts in Shropshire are you based? [/quote] Hi Andrew, The bass is pretty much new, I'd say it looks better than it does in the pictures. There might be slight wear but it's never been gigged and only slightly used. I'm in Wellington, Telford. Thanks for the interest -
Agreed the pickups don't line up but considering the sound on the video, it doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference or should it? I think a 5 string version could be cool but a bit too rich in taste for Classic Gibson, considering they bought Tobias who make pretty nice 5'ers. Gust0o, nice G3 dude!
