Oh no you'll upset the bbot fans that say they are faultless and that this never happens! Slap a Badass on it

Mucho sol aqui cada dia desde martes, Iremos a cenar en el pueblo ahora ¡gracias!

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1497104977' post='3315893'] Apart from the obvious differences (finish and choice of woods for example) how close do the Stingray experts (which I am not!) feel that the 2003 to 2005 US SUB model is to the Stingray Classic? Frank. [/quote] It's mainly just the finish which obviously is not up to the normal EBMM standard with the painted black neck, 'interesting' pick guard and the unusual body finish, the classic really is another step up again from the regular already nicely built stingrays when you've got one in your hands. There are some trans SUBs out there though and they have nice bodies made of nice wood, people that have stripped painted SUBs have had mixed results afaik. There's nothing wrong with them though, sound wise the player would make a million times more difference than the difference between the basses, find a trans teal one and fit a standard black pick guard on it and you've got a great bass!

[quote name='Atomic dustbin' timestamp='1497075419' post='3315651'] I think I have a new screensaver! That bass looks fantastic. That neck figuring is amazing. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Pete too. Both amazing instruments. [/quote] No probs and plus one on that sledge neck, wowser!

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1497101321' post='3315857'] !!!! a few weeks ago with my RATM band, a drunk guy jumped onstage... there was no mic for him as the guitarist was right infront of his and the singer had his in his hand... started jumping about with the singer, who humoured him for a bit... but he was getting a bit out of hand and I moved towards them to block him from getting into my not small pedalboard... then singer managed to get rid off him. We thought that was it. It wasn't. He proceeded to take his willy out and pee on the dance floor... Glad he didn't do it onstage or I might be typing this from prison. [/quote] Brilliant! You couldn't make these things up could you? We play at a venue where the undertaker from next door always turns up, he's got a bit of a wandering hand when it comes to the young ladies he pushes by which inevitably ends up with a fight! ps-Estamos en españa ahora, mi espanol es más mejor como el año pasado. La picina, mis revistas, unas cervezas y helados ¡Perfecto!

I like the seafoam green one too!

I've seen footage of a live band where some total idiot ended up on the Mic right at the front, just stood there he was glaring at everyone, obviously he couldn't hold a tune for his life once he inevitably tried to join in with the band, no one tried to stop him or anything. Turned out to be Oasis

Mine is Tobacco Burst which is another early colour changed to retroburst was it DrT? Being a May 2010 it's very early for a UK five string.

They're nicer in the flesh than pictures can do them justice, try one out and see how you get on, I think you'll like it, a lot!

I waved a damp looking download off from the plane if that counts? Great view from above depending which way your flight goes

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1496816481' post='3313974'] So it's ok to be sh1te then? [/quote] It hasn't held back lots of performers over the decades, people fall over themselves for Dylan mentioned earlier, I'd honestly rather listen to the Ariana Grande album over anything he's recorded and I'm not a fan of her stuff at all. People hear different things clearly so the best thing to do is just not listen to anything you don't like

I actually thought her vocals were ok especially under hugely emotional circumstances.

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1496678023' post='3313156'] Judy Garland will be spinning in her grave. [/quote] Or applauding her for putting on a gig within two weeks of loads of people dying after coming to one of her gigs? I know the term literally is overused these days and ironically by the typical audience members at her gigs but some of the people there literally hadn't smiled or laughed since the attack until last night, I've got to give her some respect for that alone.

Wow I like it!

I've no idea what that was but it sounded great! Anyone?

I wouldn't bother with their active versions, A- it sounds like you want passive deep down? B- their active circuit is rubbish! I went for a USA standard over a Deluxe even after the boss gave me permission to spend a lot more, I have since added an Aguilar preamp to it as I don't really get on with passive basses, it is a great bass, find a post 2012 used USA Jazz and you have a proper bass for life regardless of what the nay sayers tell you, no matter how fancy the others are they are still fake knock off copies

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1496624695' post='3312802'] I think he was just after a Musicman style bass without a load of deadspots on the neck. [/quote] Ironic that he now plays a Fender then

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1496613075' post='3312769'] I thought Imogen Heap was amazing! No she's not the best singer in the world, but amazing songs, amazing feel, beautiful delivery. Yeah Eric Ingram is a bit of a good player! Helps to have Aaron Spears on drums too! Si [/quote] It just shows how different we all are doesn't it? I saw this part as it was before the TT coverage started, me and my wife were just looking at each other like wtf! Bit like those awkward moments where a friend performs something at a wedding, lol, awful in every way for me.

That's him and he was there for the Manchester attack. Nice player, some people say religion has bought nothing useful to modern society, well gospel has given us some tasty players!

Yeah I'm trying to find out who he is, more unplayable Fender junk eh? tis all in them fingers

I went to an Eagles tribute gig a couple of weeks ago, there was a guy there trying to shake hands with the three guys at the front, as they were playing their guitars! I'd guess he'd been at the old columbian marching powder.

He wanted a Modulus neck on it afaik, purely because they were gigging in various climates night after night where no wooden necked bass could stay stable, it's a shame they couldn't come together to supply that to him and as a signature model, contrary to popular internet nonsense about him only using a Ray around the BSSM era and that only for live gigs he used them from day one, Pre EB Ray, Transition era Rays and later EBMM ones, the cartoon image on the first 1984 RHCP album cover shows a 3+1 Stingray headstock, live he used a carbon necked bass so he has history with a carbon necked Ray from before Ernie Ball even bought them out!

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1496596857' post='3312574'] Did they not bring out a few different models ? MM, Jazz, etc ? [/quote] Only for the man himself, everyone else got the replica of the bass he used 10 years ago, Fender with their finger on the pulse as ever!

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1496582832' post='3312435'] Is there anyone here playing stadium size gigs? Not as a support band. [/quote] Where is JTUK these days?

I never thought of that but that's a good idea and probably the cheapest option in an odd way, you could sell the P-Jazz or part it out.
