[quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1391014708' post='2352296'] Hi Highfox. I don't know, but I guess maybe I could. I'm not up to speed with your Axe turnover rate as compared to mine. I have gone through a good number of Axes in 46 years playing. You only go around once. [/quote] Good attitude, I like it

[quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1390961621' post='2351818'] I had GAS for a Gibson SG Std. Walnut, until yesterday when I ordered it. I should have it delivered on Thursday, Ja. 30th. [/quote] You seem to get through more basses than I do!

Lol, I said in December I had none, now have an incoming bass

[quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1390730565' post='2348611'] What,s the little box ?,could this be the secret ? [/quote] I think that was a stand-by DI.. it wasn't plugged into anything.. The secret is in Norms fingers and his work rate.

Had to have a sneak peek at what settings Norman Watt-Roy was using on the SVT with an 8-10 the other week. It sounded awesome with the Rhythm-stick clone, lots of lowend and the highs were there as well.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1390638820' post='2347736'] With that budget, Early 70s all the way. Prices are still reasonable-ish, they're generally well-built and a good weight, and they have a feel all of their own. [/quote] I'd agree with WOT, I have a 1970 P and it's by far the best Fender I have ever tried or bought.(Norman Watt-Roy wanted it off me last week ) There is something to be said for the older ones.

Cool thanks, I like that

[quote name='Jonnyboy Rotten' timestamp='1390581998' post='2347251'] Wow they are both very pretty! I especially love the one on the right. Great colour combo! [/quote] They sound and look very sweet, congrats.

I've only had one Mexican and it was a Dog.. Lots of Americans and they have been fine along with the Japanese. That's been my experience.

[quote name='Lee Carter' timestamp='1390227781' post='2342810'] Happened to me with a Ric. Coveted a Ric, Bought a Ric, played the Ric, Ric stayed under bed for a year...sold the Ric. [/quote] I'm there right now.. They are great basses, I have been raving about mine on here but it just doesn't suit me for some reason.. It goes to a new owner on Wednesday.. the gas has already started for something else.

Your welcome Geoff. Still sorting though pictures, but put a small set up here if anyone is interested. [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8374568@N07/sets/72157639924398873/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/8374568@N07/sets/72157639924398873/[/url]

So, we supported Wilko tonight and the boys were really on form (as usual). We played pretty well as well and really had a ball I took some DSLR footage (and pics) of the gig the sound is a bit rough, recording wise, but you can see how hard Norman works. [media]http://youtu.be/M_y5XmaR3Fs[/media] I had a nice long chat with him and he even had a go on my bass before the soundcheck and topped it off by saying if I ever wanted to sell it, I should contact him first He also said the Bass Centrer had made a signature version of his rhythm stick and that's what he used tonight. Sounded great with a the full SVT stack. I got a load of photos and more video if anyone wants to see? I even managed to get Wilko to sign my Tele. a really TOP night.

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1389853347' post='2338627'] today, my new tribute will be making a video. It's quite exciting really. Playing live.I'll post it up when it's done [/quote] Look forward to seeing it

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1389825341' post='2338464'] £660 for a 4 string. Mine was the last of the Koreans and I've not had such a flawless finish on a Bass new before. [/quote] I think I'd be all over that as well. Guess I discovered them too late.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1389791915' post='2337914'] I was going to get one of the sale ones off Thomann but they sold out [/quote] Yes, they don't do the pro version anymore I have been thinking about the Rockbass version, but not sure they are worth the asking from new? If I could find a pro version used or new at decent price I think I'd go for it sorry for the hijack MM

Thought I had enough nice basses, but my goodness those Warwick star basses are something else. Even the slightly cheaper Korean pro model sound and look great to me. Not sure about the RB model, I see them on Thomann. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ6POehTlP8 Anyone out there using them, or know where I can find used

Not sure if it's of any help or not, but I run a Ray with a TH 5oo and a pair of GS112's. I have the volume on the Ray down about half way and let the drive and gain form the TH drive the signal. I run mine at loud venues with drive and gain at about 12'0 clock with a slight boost to the bass and treble.. volume I never usually need to go past about 10-11pm.. Good to know about the clip but never seen it yet.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1389184170' post='2330968'] It's a Creedence medley. You know, just the type of song that needs chords, slapping and over-hand left hand percussion on a 6-string. [/quote] lol.

If you still enjoy it.. do it. I don't fake it when I get up.. it's all passion. It's a hobby for me and I'm lucky enough to still get some £ out of it from time to time.. Can't be bad.

How about this one as well?

Awesome, a little bit of talent and skill with all those guys

For me it was almost night and day in the sound form my first EB MM and my now Pre.EB... The Pre-EB is much smoother and warmer in sound, that's been a fact for me and possibly why I like the Ray so much again.

Follow up on this.. I took a Ray to practice last night (first time in ages normally it's the P) and the singer/guitarist asked if I could use it at the next gig "that bass sound will definitely wake people up" was what he said. The P with flats might be a little mellow for his taste I think the Rockier stuff we do the Ray fit's nicely and the more mellow blues style the P. I might have to toy with the un-cool idea of swapping basses mid set lol. I like both but will give the Ray the nod next gig in January

If it had to be one, then the P. Really depends a bit more on what kind of sound I'm after.
