Loving mine now it's tweaked and restrung. But where's the serial number? Am I being dim or don't they have one?

"Damn you Basschatters!" Or, "I've just made a charitable donation". The website only had Navy Blue ones left, so that made the choice easier! However it's being delivered to my home address, so it'll probably languish in a delivery depot for quite some time before I get my hands on it. The masterplan is to put flats and foam on it. I've got TI Jazz Flats on my fretless, but they cost more that 1/2 the price of the bass!

I recently put Thomastik-Infeld Jazz flats on a fretless. Amazing sound, super-mwah, I even have to roll off the treble to get "that" sound!

KORG KDM-2 One of the few with a nice big start-stop button on the top too.

"Top seller, A+", as they say on a well-known auction site. Bought a Rush book. Quickly posted and arrived in tip-top condition, despite the best efforts of the Royal Mail to destroy the packaging.

+1 for mouse-mat foam. I used three or four layers when doing a similar job, just stacked up with no adhesive.

[quote name='paul_5' post='1101564' date='Jan 24 2011, 11:11 PM']Where was this thread last week?, that's what I'd like to know! Don't try a search for 'double-thumbing' on a work terminal. Explaining what I was doing to the head of computer support is not a meeting I'd like to repeat.[/quote] Har har! I got someone into a similar, but milder spot the other week when I recommended the Android tuner app gStrings, which they promptly googled from work.

[quote name='tazza1' post='1095286' date='Jan 19 2011, 03:48 PM']You've probably seen the Rockinbetter basses advertised as Tokai. Although they are nothing to do with them it doesn't deter some Ebay sellers from claiming a link with Tokai (even some music retailers do).[/quote] E.g.

[quote name='matski' post='1095112' date='Jan 19 2011, 01:31 PM']Just buy the 4 string Classic and be done with it![/quote] If only it were that simple! Maybe if I say my prayers tonight I'll wake up with the cash in my pocket tomorrow...

[quote name='dlloyd' post='1094859' date='Jan 19 2011, 10:06 AM']That's a good price. If I hadn't just bought an amp, I'd be all over that.[/quote] Hey, I asked for clarification, not temptation. Though it would be money well spent if stopped me drooling over the Classic (gas logic).

[quote name='MB1' post='1094200' date='Jan 18 2011, 06:47 PM']MB1. "Hi i'm Ed Friedland the bass whisperer!" Check out his Musicman Classic 4/5 review! [/quote] Yep, this was the one that got me going: Thanks to ezbass and stingrayPete1977 for the clarification... every little helps!

OK, I I think I'm being drawn to the land of the Ray-lovers... I was thinking I needed something like a P/J, but recently saw a Ed Friedland demo video of a 2EQ single-pup Stingray and started to wonder if that might in fact be my holy grail of plenty of tonal variety with a minimum of controls to fiddle with. Anyway... it looks like a jungle out there (or that an aquarium?) with a bewildering range of instruments for sub-£1k to nearly £2k. There are USA Sterlings and there are far-eastern Sterlings... I'm confused. Somewhere there has to be a simple guide for newbs like me to find out what's what... doesn't there?

Thanks guys - that what common sense was telling me.
