Now this is just an idea and I havn't really thought it through but there seems to be alot of questions asking for string reccomendations on here. And I started thinking maybe it would be a good idea to correlate all the main opinions on the most commonly used brans of strings, sort them into pros and cons and where the best place to buy them is then make a sticky with all that infomation in. I don't see any downside to this except it would be hard to correlate all the data. Any ideas on how to go about collecting the opinions?

Hmm that sounds like a good idea, I guess I'll do that. Cheers. Have you, or anyone else reading this, ever considered a custom made neck? Or are they too expensive for a project that is mainly for fun, I have no idea how much they cost.

Well I havn't got around to fitting the pick-ups in the Ryder yet so I'll take a look when I do. Maybe it'll be even worse than my soldering And what about the neck "I was planning on putting a jazz neck on the Squire. If I bought a neck on here would I need to measure the neck pocket on my squire and ask for the measurements of the neck to check it fits? "?

a cheeky bump...

As I said I'm in so rush to get rid of it but it is a shame to let a nice bass go to waste so any bass of roughly the same value. I'm a fan of Musicmans, Fenders and Laklands but if anyone has anything to offer I'm happy to take a look. Something might catch my eye. The only thing I'd take in combination with a cheaper bass is a Catalinbread SFT pedal.

I rarely use this bass, I don't need to sell it (and I am a hoarder) so this thread is just to get an idea if anyone is interested in trading for it. But I am in no hurry to get rid of it so will only take something that really takes my fancy. [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/ibanez-icb300ex-active-bass-guitar-black--50270"]http://www.dv247.com/guitars/ibanez-icb300...ar-black--50270[/url] Most of the specs are there, and the bass is as the one in the picture but white with black binding. The bass has a hard case and is in pretty much in, brand new, pristine condition. It was recently set-up by Jon Shuker and had some fret work done on it. I'm not sure, but I think Ibanez have stopped production of this bass. If anyone does want to trade we can arrange how to do it once we agree something. There is a review on youtube that should be pretty easy to find which gives a demo. All questions are welcome and I should be able to provide pics upon request. Feedback thread in my signature.

I've only bought thigns here (as far as I can remember) and like to think that I treat everyne I deal with with respect and politeness. Everyything I've bought on here without viewing as allways been as described, including a Stingray. The only thing I've bought face to face is a Korean 24 fret Jazz from Kinder. I've had nothign but good experiences on here and most people share that sentiment.

I know you didn't specifically say that. I just don't get the whole idea of "fakers" I don't mean to come across like I'm pissed off or anything, it just seems non-sensical to call people fakers. On the whole I agree with what you are saying!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1186806' date='Apr 3 2011, 04:20 PM']I can see where this is going to go already Why would only Jazzers or Pro's make use of notation? [/quote] I'm not saying they are the only people who need to use notation, I'm just saying, I imagine that they are the ones who most often find it a necessity. Of course it is allways useful to have skills such as that, and reading is something I am slowly teaching myself, I just don't think not having them makes you a "faker". If you can play the instrument, even badly, then you are really playing it. There is nothing fake about it.
-
Fair point but I imagine that is normally in a jazz band or proffesional work, rather than in a cover band. I know reading music and having a good understanding of theory is a good thing and is very useful but it dosn't mean anyone who just has a basic understanding of theory and is half decent at playing is a fake. At least not in my book.

I would take some of your hands but I don't think my current cat would take to kindly to it.

Thanks for the wiring diagram. The wires are binned now so I can't show any pics. I guess it was poorly pu together like Dom said. Good to hear I can't electrocute myself And I'll just make sure I keep the bass out the way, what would be the best way to protect it from humidity? Well the neck on the Ryder seems fine, so I'll leave that. And thanks for the guitarnut reccomendation, some interresting stuff on there. I was planning on putting a jazz neck on the Squire. If I bought a neck on here would I need to measure the neck pocket on my squire and ask for the measurements of the neck to check it fits? Should a GOTO bridge just fit into the Squire without any routing? And yes I guess it could work out cheaper to just buy a bass with the spec I want but I want to learn how to do mods to basses myself and doing it on a cheap bass is probably the best way to learn. Also I imagine it will be satisfying once I'm done

It's not how you learn things it's how good you sound. No one cares if you can't read music or understand theory if you come up with good basslines and play well live. Of course theory, reading, etc help alot. Fakers my arse.
