    Mine's done with a black strap, burgundy pad and gold clef.


    It's [b]very[/b] comfortable and beautifully made - well worth the wait....[/quote]
    I've got an Eyeland Straposaurus -- they're pricey but very nicely made. :)



    Bet you can't spot the musical genre :rolleyes:

    Yup, what Les says is right.

    I've used the line out on mine straight into a desk and it worked fine.

    Here's the manual, in case you don't have it.

    First bass advice (with a twist)

    Do you know a bassist who would go along with you to try stuff out? I'm sure somebody in your area on here would help -- most of them probably jump at any excuse to visit a music store :)

    As to value, I'm in the 'buy the best you can afford' camp. You'll enjoy playing a decent bass and if you prefer a different brand a few years down the line at least you'll have something good to sell on.

    I took up classical guitar about ten years ago, bought a stunning guitar and I loved the tone every time I picked it up. It made learning a pleasure.

    Just bought another cable from Dave -- 2m jack to Speakon -- which arrived in super-fast time, as usual. I ordered it Monday night, it was on my doormat Wednesday morning.

    Amazing service, lovely cables, great bloke.

    Kramer XL24s -- I've got a strange fascination

    [quote name='dangerboy' post='542273' date='Jul 16 2009, 02:36 PM']I have the 8-string version of this (I think joegarcia does too, but his might only be strung up as a 4).

    It has the normal aluminium tonal clarity and brightness (and even more top end due to octave strings!).

    It is heavy (but only by modern standards), but still lighter than a lot of my other basses. The seller doesn't seem to have mentioned the fact that it's 30" scale anywhere, but it is. The switches are coil taps and phase, I think. Anyway, it can make a lot of different noises.[/quote]
    Thanks, dangerboy. Is it heavier than a Thunderbird? -- that's my benchmark. :)

    Is the body shape comfortable? And how's the neck dive on yours?

    Cheers

    [quote name='ape' post='542195' date='Jul 16 2009, 01:06 PM']Its a shame you don't live closer you could of come round and had a play on mine to get an idea of what they sound and feel like and get an idea of the weight as I imagine the XL24 would sound fairly similar so you'd have an idea of what your dealing with.[/quote]
    Thanks for the offer, ape. Sadly, I don't come to Nottingham often -- though I used to live there years ago.

    Good luck with selling yours.

    Cheers
