thomann seem to have them in stock (as they say on website, but that could be wrong). gak [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/ibanez-sr-506/67803"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/ibanez-sr-506/67803[/url] some stores I never used, if you haven't contacted them yet.

volumes to full, if the bass and treble knobs are boost/cut, they should be set at the centre detent (the knob should have a 'lock in' position). If it is boost only, the bass and treble knobs to the minimum. EDIT : bored, so I went to ibby website, both are boost only. So tone and bass to minimum will give you flat eq (there is a frequency response chart on their website).

here's a SR506 (and great playing too). [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iHPhyRyGAfc&feature=related"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iHPhyRyGAfc&...feature=related[/url]

I'd say, £500-£650. It looks in great nick, but 650 would be optimistic considering the market. I sold a '97 thumb bo 5 full wenge neck in great condition for £650 (and with the same case) two years ago, and that was a decent deal for the buyer. Nowadays, .... But yeah, try your luck on the WW forums, start high, bump and go down.

[quote name='xgsjx' post='322250' date='Nov 4 2008, 09:54 PM']Finally got a chance to get a pic of my bass... [attachment=15595:SNC15902.JPG][/quote] What's up with cats and basses...

I went with a recurve SC, it's gorgeous, and well balanced, aesthetically and physically. It's also pretty light, and the body is small and fits well. It's got a bookmatched top and back with accents. There'll be more pictures in three weeks, after the bassday UK Manchester, hope that will help you more with your (in)decision Oh yeah, they look really good in the flesh, better than in pictures (for me, like some of the warwicks).

It's looking great I must say. The pickup config looks interesting. I was wondering about a bass with something similar, but even more extreme. A triple coil at the neck (really, a noiseless single coil jazz, right before the MM humbucker, and a switch for Single Coil/MM Parallel/MM Series mode), and a more conventional humbucker (switch for SC/PR/SR) further. But that's just crazy talk

That looks great! Maybe slim down the body (or a scale problem?).

It's been done! That would look awesome on a bongo stealth.

You called The Gallery see if they would be interested to take it back?

Shame really. You tried advertising on TB? That bass looks too interesting to be gutted out, imo, but do what you must do.

They sounded good? Maybe there's your answer. Low mid growl on a bass is great for heavy stuff. Beefs up the sound. I know my Thumb would have been right at home. Crisp highs, and great defined lows.

I had the chance to try one and it was awesome. Really organic sounding and looking. Surprised how small it looked. I wasn't really fond of the gloss neck and yes, the plastic knobs! Personally, I'd keep a cool head and keep my money in my pocket. Christmas coming and all... It's your money though. Maybe you feel you can sell without a loss, if push comes to shove, but given the economy nowadays...

yum yum, that'll look great. Love that ebony.

that's much better. Never understood why WW didn't do that in the first place. Even the ash corvettes. Makes them look less 'Rockbass'.

Aye, I love it. It's a great instrument, and I don't think I could have asked for more. Alan knows his stuff!

very well! I haven't posted clips (too lazy I suppose). The tone shaping options are huge. Each pickup can be made to sound like anything (but not quite the Fender bridge pickup burp). The asymetric neck is very comfortable, the bass is light (lighter than my corvette 4), very comfortable to play standing up, although sitting down, the balance gets more horizontal. One small flaw is the placement of the neck pickup, slapping is done over the pickup (which is still no problem, and for the record, that was my decision). I tend to favour series for the bridge pickup in series, cutting the lows (to get a stingray vibe), and I use the neck to give more low mids and more of a single coil flavour. I'm also having fun with the neck pickup in mud mode, with loads of fundamentals (dub sound), or a in a Ric' configuration (For Tool stuff). I haven't tried it with the Sansamp yet. It's still shockingly beautiful :wub:

Oh yes, pics please! Then I might join the club

I've used their online shop. Easy to deal with, came to me relatively quick. Looked like they were just picked up from the shop Each part came in their own plastic bags, and with a return form.

black works with lighter woods as well. Works with anything

I think it will look better. I was thinking of the same mod myself. Then I got lazy. Works well with my ACG (walnut).

you may need a longer pickup as the area to cover increases

ACG recurve, and it's awesome [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7090"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7090[/url] That pre-amp man, ... it's REALLY powerful.

I like it. Old school british punk. The looks anyway. It seems too nice of an instrument for punks

It's expensive for a second hand corvette, but they are quality instrument, especially with upgraded electronics (I don't like MEC myself). I think it's all right, but if you re-sell it, you will take a hit. What's the electronics in it?
