Kev

where do some of you younger guys get the money from! when i was 16, the idea of me being able to afford a stingray bass was hillarious! although i didnt start playin bass til 2 years later...

if not, now the time to buy statii people!

lol no it doesnt

cheers for comments guys

yeah iv just tried that n i just dont like it, horses for courses i guess!

how though?? im guessing you use it with attack off, but all i get is a very dull fuzz sound with far too much high mids and just generally lofi sounding

we all think that nah im very happy with my 2 basses, im sure once i get the pre working properly in the status il be delighted with it, but with a bit of zoom b2 eq'ing iv got it sounding pretty sweet even now. i wont be gettin a new bass anytime soon ,wont stop me lookin tho!

My #1 has seen off about 6 other so far! Enjoy it and enjoy playing on it now you are [b]GAS free[/b]![/quote] come on now, lets not be silly

the SR5 is going nowhere they make a nice couple!

here she is, electronics need a bit of work but otherwise she's all good! [attachment=11676:DSC00365.JPG][attachment=11671:DSC00359.JPG] [attachment=11672:DSC00360.JPG][attachment=11673:DSC00362.JPG] [attachment=11674:DSC00363.JPG][attachment=11675:DSC00364.JPG] [attachment=11676:DSC00365.JPG]

seriously mate theres no need to worry about it

i know how to solder, its just im careless and iv damaged circuit boards in the past, and id rather just leave it. il probably get this and my stingray all serviced n that when my loan comes through. just finished setting up the bass, i imagine the neck will settle quite fast with the graphite in it n all, bass plays great, il try n get some photo's up soon! watch out in gear porn

well i cant afford to get it fixed so itl have to remain as it is til september the notch in the brass nut for the d strings is too large, but because the neck has a zero fret it doesnt seem to be causing any problems, looking at the fret wear at the d on the zero fret it looks like its been like that for sometime. but yeah the bass plays great, just tweaking the truss rod and action now, i like it led's are funky too. hopefully this will be a simple fix and il have a cracking bass for £200 seller is a good guy too, emailed him about the problem before i discovered that it was loose, and he offered to give me money back which i thought was sound of him. i of course refused as if it is just a loose or damaged pot, its parcelforce i have to blame. he swears it worked fine before he sent it, good enough for me

tbh mate im sh*te at soldering anyways so id rather get it done for me!

opened it all up and took the circuit out, the tone knob is not soldered down properly, i couldnt tell before as it was a tight fit. im guessing that someones been playing consignment football and my bass has took a knock. i dont have an iron as mine broke, so i cant fix it myself. cheap luthier in bristol??

i dont have a multimeter so it could be a fuked preamp rather than just a pot?

ye done that i assume since a sound is coming out, and no sound come out if i take the batteries out, the preamp is working fine, its just the tone knob isnt working, reckon its worn out??

bass came today, decent condition problem? the tone/eq knob has no effect on sound. iv replaced batteries and still no sign of it even slightly working. master volume and pickup balance knobs are working fine (i assume thats what they are) but the bass's tone is dull and flat, which from what iv heard of statusus cant be right. help?

get some new strings on it, set it up as best you can if your confident enough, and see what its like then
