I really like my Stagg bass, I've sheilded the cavity and fitted proper strings that cost half as much as the stagg did but its great now, does it sound like a DB? Not so much, does it sound bigger and thumpier than the thumpiest of thumpy electric basses, hell yeah! The audience really like it and it feels and plays fairly similar to the DB, much more than an electric bass thats for sure. Shame your so far away or you could have borrowed mine to try it

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1419026034' post='2635925'] That's Merello's. But before that (Crazy)Kiwi used to use it. Now that used to confuse the hell out of me! I'd always assumed it was something off B3ta. [/quote] I told you I was crap with names, I was close though, lol

Muted pick with all the tone rolled off works well, sort of clicky motion with the tip of the pick but I'm not that advanced to pull it off so fingers or even just thumb and fore finger for me.

I'm sure hes nicked the profile pic too, isnt that Merton's? I am terrible with names, I only know you all by the picture!

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1419024840' post='2635904'] Dodgy Tw*t I would be very wary of this then.................. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/250646-old-german-bass/page__pid__2621698#entry2621698 [/quote] Crikey, I agree. Should a mod be looking at this then? We know the sale price was £2000 less than the asking price which is just bad form but not against rules, listing items you dont own is so id suggest a nuking of the account in 5...4....3......2.....

I started a similar thread a while ago, I'm still miles off but the "less is more" approach is the bit of advice gained that I've really clung too, if you get the feel right the size of the gaps you can leave is amazing, it's as if the listeners brains fill in the gaps somehow.

Crazy!

I've got a few to go at now, hopefully this weekend if work allows

Ha

I'd be trying out a pair of TKS 12s myself, I've got a 2x12 and a 1x12 realistically I would be better selling both cabs and buying something similar to what the OP requires, if I did the TKS would be my first brand to try

I'll send him a grand via paypal, if he is honest it will be sent right back....

You cant go wrong with a Roscoe, nice

So the guy won it on ebay then listed on here before he had paid for or collected it?

Some one else has that profile picture which had me confused for a bit, must like borrowing photos!

Yep works both ways, the term half size is a bit of a red herring isn't it, unless you lined them all up I'd struggle to tell from more than twenty paces which was which.

There you go, mmmm sandwiches.....

Funky!

I think it needs the white guard to bring in the blocks/binding? When is your audition for the Shadows tribute band anyway

Both would be nice

From what I've seen the size difference is negligible between the two? If you are happy with your existing 3/4 I'd stick.

Excellent, and plus one for swapping the strings, they take months to settle so you might as well just get the proper ones settling in asap

Lol

I've seen some very shoddy Rickenbacker basses on sale in the UK too, must have been fakes, lol

This will never do, a bass chat thread that is completely resolved without an argument?
