[quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1394075854' post='2387712'] Wow! Looking really nice man! [/quote] Cheers mate, just put flats on it. Amazing.

Great Thread, love reading the stories behind peoples basses. [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1182886635' post='23722'] Warwick Corvette Active 1995 - Liked this, the band thought the top horn looked like a D**do so after being the brunt of D*ck jokes for about a year I decided to sell this and buy a... [/quote] Still chuckling at that!! My list is fairly humble, been lucky not to have too many dogs. Westfield P/J - We all have to start somewhere, worlds highest action. Crackliest jack socket ever. 2004 MIM Fender P Bass (sunburst) - Loved this bass, the reason I always come back to precisions. [u]2006 Musicman Stingray 3eq (Black) - [/u]The constant, saved up for 2 years to buy it new. Feels like home. 1994 MIJ Fender Jazz Bass (sunburst) - Was never 100% on it, sounded amazing but never felt right. 2010 MIM Fender 50s P Bass (fiesta red) - The colour.......wow. Would love a roadworn one to fill the void she left. [u]2011 Custom Grabber (wood, lots of it) -[/u] I have phases with this bass, in my old band it was a mainstay, so much growl. Not using it much these days at all. Thinking of changing the pickups and going for a more "ripper" sound. Periodically decide I want to get in finished in a colour, never do. 2004 MIA Fender Jazz (sunburst) - Only recently sold this, miss the sound a lot! Special memories as it came on some big tours and played at some big venues with my current band. [u]2013 AVRI 1963 Precision Bass -[/u] Amazing bass; looks, sounds and feels like a 60's bass. Everything about it is great. Put flats on it, even better. Anyone who says Precisions aren't versatile or are "one trick ponies" I urge you to try one of these. I won it in the rotosound competition so even sweeter that it was free.

Cheers danny, is that a darkstar on it? Hollowbody GAS commences.

Don't know if anyone has seen this. Session at Abbey Road. I'm not really a big fan of his, but this is pretty spectacular. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELKbtFljucQ[/media]

[url="https://soundcloud.com/chinspinner/oubliette"]https://soundcloud.c...inner/oubliette[/url] My own tone on this track. It's very gritty but not over the top. Gibson Grabber to VT Bass Deluxe. [/quote] Can't beat a grabber - Thrice and Cave in both have amazing bass sounds. Mine is a bit neglected these days.....this was a while ago https://soundcloud.com/wedigforfire/throw-out-the-cards-live-corp Custom Grabber into Line 6 DM4 into SVT3.

Gotta be tort on black surely......

I have just switched to Chromes on my Precision, just enough sizzle to keep me happy. Bit of overdrive might give you the crunch you're after.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1393577326' post='2382011'] Er... flats? [/quote] My thoughts exactly!!

Because I need no excuse to post a pic of this bass....... 63 RI Precision.

From our recent video shoot. I think you are all qualified enough to work out which one is me.

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1393348733' post='2379117'] Once they had a AVRI P in aged white, it was a lovely thing...at £1700 though! It's all a bit bog standard though [/quote] They are the nuts mate! Lot of money though......

Morning Basserists, Just wondered if anyone has any experience with the unsigned guide? http://www.theunsignedguide.com Toying with the idea of signing up, getting exposure is a total nightmare these days and the testimonials and reviews on there look good.

Morning All, Just thought I'd share the music video for our new single, Whistle Blows. Let me know what you think. http://youtu.be/QWbC9t2ZwE8

Shame you are set on maple, Lozz has a beauty of an MIJ Precision for sale!!

[quote name='NJE' timestamp='1392756933' post='2372485'] Classic 50's precision gets my vote, amazing basses and there is one on ebay for £400 at the moment. They regularly pop up under £500 [/quote] Another classic 50s vote here, 2nd best P I ever had.

Thanks for all the advice folks. Gonna order some chromes for the ray!

He lost me with the pink upper case Comic Sans usage.

After reading many a thread of flats vs rounds I decided I would stick some (chromes) on my 63 RI P and see what all the commotion is about. Completely blown away, the tightness of the low end and overall smoothness has me converted. Can still get plenty of bite with a pick. I'll try to get some clips up at some point. Was wondering if anyone has experience of flats on a Stingray?
