  1. I think Ibanez basses are amazing. I had a niggle with the the headstocks for years, but as soon as I came to play one and I instantly bought one, although I got the SR1205.
  2. Currently would love a Lakland but I don't like the idea of having a bass which doesn't have 24 frets. I'd also love a fretless bass but finding a use for it to make it worth buying is hard.
  3. The idea of vintage bass gear is nice, but the real life situation of maintaining, transporting the stuff just seems like a nightmare and back buster. I am pretty glad to get some fantastic vintage tones from my current lightweight setup without busting a gut
  4. When people say oomph... They probably mean those unusable sub bass frequencies that muddy up the entire mix, leaving the kick drum buried. Also due to the wavelength of bass frequencies being longer than higher, they would be more pronounced at the back of the room. I've had both Class D's and your back breakers, i've pony sounding amps in both fields and good sounding amps from both too. That's why you should always try before you buy. Another problem is that a lot of bass players just don't know how to EQ their amps properly which in turn gives poor performance and poor sound from the amp. Just my 2 pence rant
  5. Great article! I agree, the Fodera was very uninspiring considering their extortionate costs. It's to hear the differences between the different years too, but I think my preference was the Nordy PJ set and the '72 Jazz.
  6. Yeah it already has flats on it and I do enjoy the sound of it but I have no use for it which is a shame. It is a rosewood fretboard so I wouldn't want to defret it myself. I've also thought about buying a fretless neck but I think warmoth's are roughly about £400??

  8. [quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1435258206' post='2807107'] I have to say that these are very intriguing... the SR1200 looks awesome. All those tone woods, and the reassuring attention to the truss rod being titanium etc. I have a lot of respect for Ibanez guitars, and am not surprised their basses are well respected around here... Might need to take the plunge one of these days [/quote] Do it, I was reserved about them for years but I tried a few out at the bass gallery in Camden and was just blown away by how good they are. My intention when I walked into the shop was to get a Warwick but I walked out with the Ibanez!
  9. Now that was an option, but I struggle with squire being a reputable brand. I hear good things about them... It's a tough one.
  10. Good evening one and all, I wan to start playing Jazz standards properly, whether that be in a band or at a Jam night etc but is it a cardinal sin to play an electric bass? Put it another way... Am i going to be sneered and spat at by the Jazzer elites?
  11. Alright Guys and Girls, I've got an old MIM Fender Precision that's just sitting in the corner collecting dust (literally). I've been toying with the idea again about having a fretless for playing Jazz with but funds are tight. Do i... A) defret the precision and get some new hardware to spruce it up Swap it for a fretless of similar value or... C) Sell it and Buy something else? Answwers on a postcard or preferably on here would be great!
  12. I have an SR1205 and I have to say it's one of the best basses I've had the pleasure of playing/owning.
  13. I think if you're out gigging heavy 5 nights a week then a few spares isn't going to hurt but anything more and you have a problem
  14. I have a fairly old MIM Fender Precision, i'd say roughly early 00's that I swapped with another bass a while ago. Although I enjoy it's sound (i've put flatwounds on for old skool thump too) It's just doesn't get used enough as my main bass (Ibanez SR1205) is just far superior. I may see if I can swap my fender for a fretless bass.
  15. I think if they released a preamp version of this, I would be all over it as I already have an LM3, then all i would need to do is sell off my pedals.
