JoeS Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 [quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='191209' date='May 3 2008, 01:47 PM']OMG you guys don't half winge about EMA. All i can see here is the people who dont get ema complaining about the fact that someone else gets it. I bet if everyone who has been complaining about it GOT ema they wouldn't be complaining about it! -Jake[/quote] Well obviously, who would complain about getting free money?

iain1985 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Nice to see so many young lads on here with nice gear. Takes me back to when i was younger. I started working when i was 13/14 in a music shop as saturday boy then made the move at 16 to work in retail becoming manager of a concession before i was old enough to drink !! This gave me a fair wedge of disposable income which saw me start off with a squier p bass,tanglewood rebel, to esp bass,warwick streamer to warwick corvette, to warwick corvette 5, warwick thumb, fender usa p, to musicman ray, warwick thumb nt, to g+l 2500, to warwick streamer stage one, to musicman stingray to american p bass!! (and thats just the basses!! guitars and amps are a whole other list !!) All i can say is that i went straight from school and didnt bother with college, exams etc. I fell into the trap of easy money working in shops builders merchants etc and its only now at 22 im back at full time education and im kicking myself for not doing it earlier. Im in the good position now of still working in the music trade and getting the benefit of an education. Okay moneys tighter but I know its gonna pay off in the long run. Hopefully be able to pick up a sadowsky or two when i graduate haha. I suppose the moral is Dont give up on education cause your making ok money now. Theres always something better out there and is definately worth working towards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgie Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 So, i've jumped on to the "recently acquired Stingray" bandwagon! Bought from the fantastic mr Perry on here a few weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgie Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Nope - He was actually giving his bass to Lucy Pinder while her name floated in the air beside her. Edited August 9, 2008 by Higgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, they're nice basses those peaveys, i was thinking about getting one but i couldn't afford it, then by the time i had the money i could afford something better >_< good starter basses though.

teen t-shirt Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 only been playing bout a year, and considering it only cost me 120 notes it's fantastic, and for a bass in this bracket of the market the tone and over all quality is superb... just recently fitted strap locks as well so the horns are more pointy...

MythSte Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 looks to me like a 4 to 5 string mod at the bridge, you can make out the twist tuner on the bridge itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDM Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yeah, it's a "Wilkinson 4+1" The D string is secured at the string tree and tunes from the bridge. That bass should be getting converted back to a 4 string soon though, since I've got the Spector 5 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomas_almeida Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm teen myself, and I can't imagine how the hell you have such gear at 16! Wow! I'm still 15, so I can't have a job, it sucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) My current rig: I've got a few effects and bits too but i can't be bothered to photograph them. (haha i've just noticed you can see them on the left) I'm going to have another SUB bass soon too, but i'm going to have to split it all up at the beginning of september as the G&L and the new SUB bass (once completed) are going to live at my mum's house when she moves. I'll need an amp too... EDIT: i'm 17, reason i have that is just saving pocket money, working a bit, selling and buying stuff, christmas/birthday presents etc and buying used, it's much cheaper. That rig cost me £1305, bought new it would have cost more along the lines of £2150, so i've saved £800 from buying the majority of it used (apart from a hardcase, a tuner pedal and an overdrive pedal).
