I should also say I am looking at the Omen/Hellraiser models

Hi, I'm in the market for a decent active 5er and I've seen some schecter 'diamond series' basses. Are these classed as a mim to Mia type of thing as with fender? or are they the same quality as the 'normal' schecter basses? I'm just a bit confused! Can anyone give any personal experiences with them? I was looking to get a stingray 5 but one of these would save me a load of cash if they are quality basses. I play a mixture of alt rock / hard rock and metal Thanks

Got all those on a spotify playlist now .. Better get working on those walking bass lines .. Thanks again

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm looking forward to getting into this !

After doing my grade 8 I now want to get myself grounded in jazz and jazz improv techniques. I'll be honest I haven't any albums in that field to listen to other than jaco pastorious. Can anyone reccommend some jazz tracks to listen to ? I'm wanting to put together a playlist that will inspire me and learn from it. Thanks

I've just stumbled on this thread and read it through.. What a truly amazing opportunity - or even two opportunities you've had! Well done!! It's got me inspired to push my dep work harder to try and develop some opportunities. Nothing of this league though, thats just stuff of dreams! ;-)

And bluesparky I've pm'd you

This is me playing the trinity version - not a brilliant performance but it got me a grade 8 merit on the day http://youtu.be/B_DSZwNUdpY

I'm doing this as one of my exam pieces today , had to relearn it to fit round their notation. doing hit me with your rhythm stick and over the electric grapevine too. nervous?? Me?? just a little :/

Bought a Peavey PA system off James recently - excellent and faultless transaction - very pleased, thanks very much!!

String trade with Paul, my flats for his rounds, nice easy and pleasant exchange!! thanks a lot :-)

Plus I'm going to start teaching bass so I really need grade 8 under my belt

Thanks! I'm more likely to do the trinity one as I've learnt the majority of the stuff. Good luck with your exam! How long have you prepared for it and have you had a tutor too?

Hi, I have been thinking about going for grade 8 in bass for the past three years but never felt confident or even competent enought to go for it. I am looking for a bass tutor who can take me through the process and prepare me for the exam. I am 38 and been playing bass in bands for 20 odd years. I have both Trinity and RGT grade 8 books so I have worked through some of them. Many thanks.

Just took delivery of an outstanding Fender Precision USA. It was exaclty what I was looking for and Iain was very helpful. Held onto it for me until I had the funds to pay for it. An excellent and flawless sale/purchase Thanks again Iain.

Have a look at his other things for sale .. Dodgy

I mean the white '74 precision up for sale . Apparently it's all fake apart from the neck :/

Interesting .. Here is a thread on a fender forum of the exact same bass on eBay !! Some previous buyer demanded a full refund ! http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?t=33890
