[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1408963451' post='2534904'] You have thought about this too much, Lol [/quote] No, I have been enticed by the finishes they offer But I haven't bitten. I REALLY don't need more basses... or have room for them

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1408958967' post='2534832'] White, Black, Honeyburst, trans red I know you know your EBMM rays to know they are all out there, you have owned half of them [/quote] walnut satin? surf green is only an option on the Classic I believe, but you can get the SBMM SUB in that colour, and with a maple fingerboard! (even if you'd have to import it yourself)... they have a few other satin finishes, and an interesting metallic red one too...

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1408953147' post='2534760'] Which bit do you prefer the look of? I have owned 6 Rays so far and had many more pass through my hands, they look very very similar to me, I thought that was the point, Lol [/quote] maybe referring to the finishes available?

Love my G30, and it definitely works well with my J-Retro too

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1408707585' post='2532760'] This situation has happened to me and a few mates before. I always pack my bass away as soon as i stop playing it. But our guitarist doesnt bother. It was a jam night and some guy who went up after us (he was in his mid 40s id say), just picked up the guitar. Didnt ask, and didnt say thanks after. Just basic manners really isnt it? Well our guitarist waited for them to finish playing and sit back down. He then walked over to their table and sat down next to the guy who played his guitar, didnt introduce himself, picked up the guys pint and started sipping it slowly. Helped himself to a few pork scratchings, finished the pint, then got up and walked back over. They didnt say a word. We were in stitches. It probably helped that my friend is a big lad. 6ft 3, 18 stone jobby. [/quote] brilliant!

[quote name='gub' timestamp='1408037303' post='2526537'] Looking to buy my first acoustic bass, we did a few songs the other day on local radio, and it seems we quite enjoyed it and would like to explore some more songs. I borrowed a friends vintage one but it struggled with two acoustic 6 strings, a [color=#ff0000][b]cojon[/b][/color] and singer. Looked at the fender high man bass, love that neck but seems they are not much loader than an unplugged electric! Any thoughts would be really helpful. [/quote] it's cajon... cojon is... a testicle

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1408205607' post='2528091'] Done! That wasn't bad at all. I'm a complete DIY novice but I managed to get it sorted. I just used a little WD-40 to loosen the spade connectors and they popped out when I used a screwdriver to nudge them a little. Oh, turns out a slug had found its way behind the speaker grill! I found slug trails all over - yuk! So, new tweeter is in. I had to shave (using a cheesegrater!) off a few mm on the top and right hand side so the screw holes would line up. It doesn't sit flush due to a chunk of plastic on the back that holds important looking bits together. If I want to make this a permanent fix I'll go back and shave off some of the wood on the cab so it sits flush. So sound-wise. That annoying hiss is gone! I no longer have to tell people that my combo isn't broken! All of the highs seem there still. I can turn up the treble on my bass and the amp and get no hiss. I'll report back after having been in a live situation but so far I'm happy. I can now mic up my combo to record through [/quote] Sounds like a result! Let us know how it goes when you use it in anger!

[quote name='SammyDamacy' timestamp='1408225509' post='2528281'] That's my sparkly bitch, Ray 34. Apparently there were only 150 made in this finish, I had no idea until it landed on my lap. God damn. [/quote] Yum!!!

Adam just bought my John East mid-sweep module. Super smooth transaction and good comms. Thank you Adam, I hope you enjoy that, the bass looks sweet!

[quote name='bridge' timestamp='1407907594' post='2525175'] Dude, I am at present, running a BF compact and a GB Streamliner 900. I intend to get a midget to compliment this set up, A) when one is available at the right price, B)when I actually [i]have [/i]the right price!! my question is, what 12" are you using with the compact? I need an extra cab, and was about to reseach what alternatives would be suitable, in place of a midget, should they become available at a price I can afford. cheers mate. [/quote] I'm using a BF Big Baby 2. It's bigger than a Midget but I find it much more "full" on its own. I had a chance to try both the BB2 and the Midget, as someone local had both cabs, and the Midget was a remarkable cab, but overall I felt the BB2 was rounder, so if the extra bulk (it's still small, just not as small) is not a problem, the BB2 is a great solution. Sounds great on its own, but with the addition of the Compact it's very nice. The Streamliner 900 with those two sounds really good.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1407842139' post='2524488'] Which begs the question: Do w*nkers buy Audis and BMWs as a matter of course - OR, does the [i]ownership[/i] of an Audi or BMW somehow make the owner [i]become[/i] a w*nker?? And now, back on topic. [/quote] I'll PM you in 6 months. But I don't guarantee any waxing content

[quote name='kerley' timestamp='1407841433' post='2524479'] w*nkers drive Audi's does not mean all Audi drivers are w*ankers of course. There did seem to be a shift where a lot of the w*nkers moved from BMW to Audi once they heard that BMW's were driven by w*nkers. They didn't realise they in fact were the w*nkers due to their massive lack of self awareness - w*nkers [/quote]
