stingrayPete1977

I have a Genz 3.0 as a backup if I take my 6.0 out, and the 6.0 comes as the spare if I'm using my big head, I could carry all three under one arm! I like the look of the little GK heads, tiny but would work well with your GK cabs

I'd try and bag something secondhand, even an old Peavey tnt combo or something? My mate has a Trace Elliot commando that sounds quite good too, not massive but could do a gig or loud practice if needed.

I suppose tubes are a bit like halogen lamps that can last days or years?

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1365279755' post='2037678'] I had a V plate focus and had to scrap it last year. The wife decided that we should have a "sexy black fiesta" and there is sod all room in the back, even with the seats down. I miss the old girl... [/quote] Women eh? My better half calls this our grandad car, misses her micra that did the same mpg as this (50ish) yet cost more to tax as this is only £30 a year.

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1365279876' post='2037680'] I well remember fitting extensive gear (Acoustic 370 and drum kit) in 2CV. These days Movano and Ifor Williams Trailer, gets the bass rig in lolx [/quote] My other car is a Morris 1000, I will see how much I can get in there next time!

Surprised me how it ate the db! This shape focus is 6 inches longer than the first one and you can see what a difference that has made regarding not needing the estate. Btw the thing on the left is not a butt plug, the car has the weird easyfuel thing with no fuel cap, the tube is for emergency fillups or additives, not sexual doings!

Well here's my reasoning, Genz vertical 2x12 cab with Mackie desk in its oversized box lengthways with the front seat in its normal position, double bass with the scroll between the seats but not in my way at all when driving, just blocks the armrest, hiscox case with a Ray5 inside looks lost, double bass stand, rucksack and there is a gig skinz case hiding behind it with the Genz 9.2max head and pedal board inside. There is room behind the drivers seat still, enough to get the lighting rig in at least and the seat is set for me at over 6 foot tall, still gaps in the back. Some Focii have a deeper boot as this one has a full size wide wheel and a big foam surround as the space saver won't fit this model of focus, in a way its better as it makes a nice flat load area now. I thought about the estate version but well not really an issue even if you had 2 4x10s rather than a 2x12 and double bass! I have seen comments about bass bashes looking more like a Ford Focus gathering so pics or it didnt happen etc....

Took my Gedo to practice today, I'm getting ok with no position markers now, glad I didnt cheat now, anyway I couldn't get much volume out of it, straight into the Genz 9.2 max worked best, the artec graphic isn't much use at gig volume so it looks like a Fishman plat pro next and they see how the J tone works with it.

Best left as is I think!

You missed the deleted thread then?

Fret markers in the wrong place will add to the fun!

P bass it is then!

[quote name='2wheeler' timestamp='1365152467' post='2035904'] Good questions. Despite the temptations of versatility, I seem to get on better with really simple instruments. 4 strings, one pickup, a tone control and everything else is either in your hands or just not there. That seems to work best for me. [/quote] A two eq stingray is worth trying, you never know you might love it! Single pickup and simple controls, classic bass that has been used in every style of music, in budget too

Last time someone dared question the ebmm build quality the thread was deleted!

Ace! Mwah ma mwahhhhh........

He is amazing, really makes a bass sing. Funny guy too

Go on then will it be like Qi if it say "why" nee naw nee naw! Why passive why only one pickup? How many strings? 5 being the correct answer btw : lol:

Get the pliers out Marcus!

It's crazy,I first saw it when looking for upright clips. As soon as I started on the double bass my respect for the good players went through the roof.

My upright still isn't loud enough without plugging the piezo in, I am getting a bit more volume now I'm trying to play with the side of my finger rather than the tips, probably best to not hear me anyway!

I have an Ozark, its good and I use a 1x10 cab with it for acoustic jams or into the pa if possible, no hollow sound at all and I think they are great for learning how to get different sounds, playing near the bridge can get quite a jazz bass esque sound for example. Very handy for practicing in the garden in the summer (both weeks of it in may).

I'd swerve the whole lot and buy a modulus funk5

I can't beleive there has been 18 pages of this sh*t!

After all my messing around I think I prefer my ceramic equipped SR5 now, the cheapest most messed with Ray I have owned is my go to bass now! Looking forward to pics of the new bass

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1364927768' post='2032856'] So someone drilled new holes for the Badass? That seems ... unclever, unless I'm missing something here. [/quote] If you move the whole bridge forward you can use more of its intonation adjustment I think? The first Stingrays suffer from this and the bridge was moved forward soon after to solve it, even Leo made mistakes!
