[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1359549329' post='1956367'] Just a quick question - what strings do you have on your EUB ? If they are jazzers they can be very slippery smooth for arco work ! [/quote] Spirocore weichs at half the purchase price of the eub!

Have you posted the picture over on the EBMM forum? that should move things along!

Cheers Milty, I am keeping up with your troubles too which are worse than mine but I tend not to post in off topic these days

You mentioned Ashdown?......runs for cover

Sounds like I need both more tension and more rosin to me then, thanks I will give that a go.

Ha I like that! Well if my wrist is still bad in a few months time I might sell a pre eb ray and possibly one five string ray and take the plunge,I have a conservatory but I doubt that would do it any good? I will have to have a think.

Now grand wazoo I hear used to like musician basses but now likes dingwalls, this could be the perfect hybrid for him?

I have been after a good version of Aint Nobody for a while, thats tomorrow night sorted Thanks

Update on the strings then, I like them! Not a great deal of difference at home but I think maybe I dropped on a better set of Stagg strings than many others have and last weeks practice I found it much easier to EQ. The feel on your fingers is much nicer and the bass has a good even output all over, now it has all the Stagg mods done I am not sure what would be worth trading up to other than a real DB?

Quick update then, I have only had a few minutes here and there to practice with the bow but and its a big but, I am getting better with it! I really need to wait and see what Doddy wants me to do with it but I wont be having a lesson until after he gets back from a long running gig. I am not too sure how tight to have it but I am getting the resin to stick a bit more, maybe as its a brand new bow and brand new resin I need to get it nicely covered and evened out?

Cheers mate

Thanks mate, sir duke has been dropped for now from the set !

First gig is booked for april with the new covers band so I am hoping to be up to some kind of standard by then but long term it is looking like I will be taking a knock on my overall ability

Here you go then, been back for a checkup today and remembered to get a picture of the xray for you all to see [IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/20130128_154857.jpg[/IMG] The doctor on duty today has suggested that I may have more permanent restriction of movement than they first thought due to the fact in his words "its very distal" hence the plate wrapping up and over the end of the bone, it is more clear from the side view which I will try and photograph next time!

Nah I love a juicy fat B here and there, 6 string?

We need to see some good pics of it, pleeeasse!

[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1359235835' post='1952075'] SGC Nanyo Bass Collections? Surely the penny will drop soon as to how undervalued and how great these basses are? [/quote] I used an sb320 in trans green as my main bass for a long time, fantastic bass. I sold mine for £250 a few years ago and it was a better built bass than most of the stuff in the £1000+ region available new now

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1359197737' post='1951358'] I'm a G&L fan and I would say that MFD pickups are the best thing about G&Ls. Also the G&L Saddle Lock bridge is a refinement of the Sabre bridge, and it's all by the same guy, so can't we just get along? [/quote] Where would the fun in that be?

I have a slightly worn kidney right here if anyone knows where the Inca silver Ray is

[quote name='Mace' timestamp='1358982025' post='1948229'] Gain is at 12 o'clock these days, love her! [/quote] Great picture!

I would of preferred the normal Sabre bridge, you know the one all the G&L fans say is the best thing about G&L that was actually on the Sabre first but you have to let them have some enjoyment

Both of them are new to me!

Where's the silver one?
