stingrayPete1977

Tatoos,doubles basses, women in their under crackers, whats not to like?

Watched, studied and practiced for tonights practice session. Fitted in nicely around the walking basslines from your toolbox and I am working on similar stuff from the rufus reid book and trying to get chord tones nailed, ma7, dominant7, mi and mi7 are coming together now, thanks as ever Geoff.

Anyone after a good gigging combo right now needs to bag one of the sell off Genz contour amps,crazy cheap for a great gigging amp and you can add an extra cab if needed. Any comparable combo will cost double in the shops.

[/quote] Nope cant have, all rics are perfect as 4000 says, all the faults I have found on them that current ric owners have chipped in with through this thread are apparently my subjective opinion as he has never seen them

If im using a bass regularly id swap eb strings after 6 months max, if you dont like bright strings id start with something else anyway, I hate rotos but dead rotos sound more like new rotos to me where dead eb strings just sound ready to be swapped?

Cant complain at that really, good work.

Just watched all five! Looking forward to the next one tomorrow, rhythm. Thanks for posting

lol

How much would it really cost them for a new neck? Daft

I like the look of those, headphones on after tea, ta

Could you just put some kind of power soak in front of the drummers monitoring cab effectively giving them their own volume control?

Nice piece of music well played, he appears to be more skilled on the upright than the other basses imo.

Is eveyone here more attached to their DB than their elec basses even if the elec basses cost more? I know I am and I am so glad to see Hectors bass repaired, much more than if it were a p bass or something.

French bowed db was my favourite, love it!

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1385390816' post='2287624'] Used to have when they first came out, this is maybe 3 or 4 years ago . [/quote] Mine is that old with no fan? 6.0 has a fan but i have never seen a 3.0 with one? I recall a lot of people saying the fan was a lot quieter than most other amps with a fan too, their defence would be that it's a 600 watt head for live gigs rather than quiet practice, that's partly why i bought a 3.0 after my 6.0

Iconic, really?

Can't of bugged you that much, the 3.0 hasn't got one

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1385329564' post='2287083'] Is it worth paying nearly twice as much just for the name on the headstock?! I guess to some people it would be, but more importantly it's just another factor weigh up when trying choose between the two. If someone really felt that the 'ray was as good as it gets for them and nothing else will touch it, then it's worth it I guess. [/quote] I was playing devils advocate by suggesting the cheaper version to show that you could flip the cost argument by going for the cheaper ray version or even go for a SUB at a fraction of the price. Some people are into resale values too (im not) so a well bought Ray ie £999 with no case not long ago at some shops for a 2 band in limited colour choices kept mint would sell on for at least 3/4 of that if its a concern.

Ha what are you guys like?!

I think only men that have the choice of a stingray or a similar bass that choose the other one fall into that....camp?

As its my imaginary invention though I have made it 900 watts at 2 ohm so it could run four 2x12 cabs

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1385327392' post='2287023'] Just had a quick look on Thomann for comparisons sake, and the cheapest MM 'ray 4 3-band i can see is £1328.64 (most seem to be quite a bit more than this), and the cheapest Basic 4 is £767.10 (although there is a B-stock for £686.05). You could probably add chargeable custom options to a Basic order and still come in a fair bit cheaper than a stock 'ray! [/quote] Or get a sterling ray 34 then, brand name is always going to cost more im affraid even if the item is comparable.

[quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1385315090' post='2286781'] My lighthearted comment that didn't offend anyone has been removed! What's happening to this place. (it was a Simpson's quote btw, good enough for sky 1 but inappropriate here it seems) [/quote] I quoted it so its still there in spirit
