[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1375792638' post='2165634'] As a rule: MM1 = Axis MM2 = Stingray 4 MM3 = Stingray 5 MM4 = Silhouette MM5 = Baritone [/quote] This is good info that I did not know other than the MM2 being a Ray and MM4 being like my Guitar, cool ta.

I have an MM4 guitar with a Gibson Tony Iommi pickup that sell for £120 alone new, I paid £94 inc the postage for the lot and its a little cracker

Get the mods done!

I have fitted a k and k bass max since I started this thread, not had much chance to try it amplified yet though.

They were too poplar, that's why they stopped making them

[quote name='Bassclef' timestamp='1375611933' post='2163339'] I suspect, as a non-bass player advertising on this site, he was probably just being polite. It sounds like his musical project is about the politics of food, so he clearly has a serious point to make. I guarantee you he'll have heard jokes like these many times before. Believe me the novelty effect soon wears off and it becomes hard to laugh sincerely. Ray, I love good humour as much as you do. Please tell me why you think people feel the need to keep referring to meat, ham, beef and so on in a vegetarian post. If an ad says "Female bass player wanted for Grrrl band" do these same people stick up posts saying things like "I'll e-male you" or "I'm a bloke but what if I wear a bra to rehearsals"? If an ad says "Christian bass player wanted" do they feel they have to say things like "Promise you won't get cross if I don't quite nail the line"? No. They may not agree with these "belief systems" but at least they respect them. [/quote] I can imagine all of those things being said, go and read the honest opinions thread about Vicki and his cross dressing if you enjoyed these puns That said you might prefer to get involved in the halal meat thread unnaturally oversized breasts is the topic title so I imagine your fancy will not be tickled by it! Good luck with the veggie bassist search anyway, I can see the OP has a humour and if I was veggie I would at least give it a shot

Now that really is brilliant!!

Stripe could be rosewood actually, too dark for walnut?

I'd say poplar body? Alder looks more like the pine table to my eyes. Maple neck but quite low grade (graded in A's I think? The more A's the better with a tighter grain ending with birdseye?). Skunk stripe, no idea actual skunk maybe!

[quote name='Longmayyourun' timestamp='1375636079' post='2163725'] Well of course ''Google is your friend'' here, but you're going to need a [i]heck [/i]of a long time to work through his discography. Couldn't quite believe it myself when I had a quick look just now. Roughly equivalent, I would say, to Danny Thompson saying ''nah mate, it's your gig, I was just sitting in till you got here'' What's that? Who's Danny Thompson? [/quote] Got that one! I once jammed with Jimmy Cricket though

A stingray humbucker would work quite well wouldn't it

What we gonna do?

[quote name='Longmayyourun' timestamp='1375607854' post='2163284'] I know we're not being competitive here, but as far as I can see we have a winner [/quote] I've never heard of him

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1375571379' post='2163132'] Great basses, well built but at the end of the day, not as well built with poorer woods than real Stingrays. For that reason, they don't now, nor ever will, be close to the value of said real stringray. £450 absolute tops. Easy to make comparisons to the JV Squiers in terms of value increase in the future (value of those still completely baffles me) however the difference is the Stingray's being made at the same time as these were better, and i would say they were selling at no more than£700 really at the moment. So £675 for this is a joke! The only thing that these may have had going for them was that they were 5 string stingrays that were in the classic format. Now that EB have brought out the new Classic series, its lost that unique factor! [/quote] I agree, heaven knows why the sr5 didnt look like the sub 5 in the first place!?

I was really impressed by the genz contour amp, it was at a medium sized pub too, perfect!

[quote name='Ian Savage' timestamp='1375549927' post='2162844'] That'd be fair! Shame he's asking £250 more than that [/quote] I appologise! I saw £500 for some reason, just looked again £675, I agree no chance

People generally suggest £350 for 4 string ones so a five string with a case and a stand can't be that far off £425-450 surely?

How far back do you go? Can I buy a 70s p bass a few hundred pound?

I have nothing to add

On the other hand travelled miles with a blues band to play to an empty marquee and many other awful gigs

Does it count that I am miming to a track I didn't record? (I played on the final version that went out with Prog mag though) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rONtsRRlq9U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rONtsRRlq9U[/url] I also played some good shows with Dave before I broke my wrist last year and I played slap bass on the previous album available at all good book shops (iTunes then).

I had to double take Simon's user name! But goals etc yes good but work always gets in the way
