cheers pics do that finish absolutly no justice i actually don't know, i aint restrung yet since i bought it, just did the old boil trick instead, got em sounding nice they feel like 130-45, and sound like nickle, but thats as far as i can tell

my 2001 blue dawn stingray 5 [[see below for updated pics]]

1.5mm definetly does NOT work with a stingray, frustrated the life out of me when i got mine, but ye works with a SUB 1/16th is bang on

well what you after? alot of people like the moogs, but they need to be in a loop as they suck tone badly when bypassed

from sound samples iv heard, i prefer the akai, i came close to buying one of this forum off some guy, but i decided against it. im waiting for the chunk systems synth personally...

you made a wise choice

[quote name='dmz' post='212455' date='Jun 4 2008, 01:25 PM']Lakland covers the more classic Fender feel/sound - which can be tweaked a little bit to sound more modern - [b]great B string sound Musicman is kind of the opposite[/b] in my opinion whist retaining the Fender feel - obviously, given its lineage (!)[/quote] if you mean by that to say the musicman's B string isnt that good, i totally disagree, my stingray has the best B iv ever played, althought admitdly not played a lakland, but certainly beats the fender us 5 string jazz i tried

i quite liked mine, the arpegiattor mode was pretty fun, and delay was good. but for accurate pitch shifting it sucked for bass

crowther prunes and custard will get you the hysteria sound close enough. Big muffs will not.

looks nice mate, just think you need a nice big bright orange or blue pedal in the middle to brighten it up a bit!

i tried to disable email notifications of private messages, and i still get the notifications for some reason

i always get that, usually with someone in nigeria haha

mxr micro amp

nah money wise at least i wont be able to buy any pedal now til september

civil war muff that i have is the best fuzz iv ever tried hopfully the DHA im expecting will give me the valve drive sound i want, n then il be done distortion wise

fair enough, i think i can imagine what the problem sounds like i think. solution: get a decent muff

i somehow managed to get a deep impact and a zvex fuzz probe from US, and got charged no customs on either of them, but yet when i bought a boss pedal from over there, i did get charged... all a game of luck

the emma is a envelope filter, a pretty good one from what iv heard

iv not used a little big muff, so maybe this is a problem, but i use a stingray with my old skool sovtek muff, works fine at full volume and nearly full gain, surely the stingray with slight bass boost is a hotter signal as any?

that aint right, there should never be a volme drop using a muff, the thing is stupidly loud

what a disgusting looking instrument anythin over 7 strings is just daft for a bass, just isnt needed imo at all, sound samples that iv heard from such instruments just dont sound anythin like 'bass' to me

i think the best thing you could buy in US to save money would certainly be a bass, but i guess thats impractical. pickle pie's appear quite common over here, and arnt cheaper in the us as far as i know, so that would be a waste. i dunno really, maybe just search online for umit and give her instructions? nothing in particular springs to mind
