The thing I prefer about having tone control on my bass than on the amp is consistency. I use a lot of "in house" amplification when gigging and find if I get the source tone as good as possible it's better than editing a bad tone on many different branded amps boosting/cutting slightly different frequencies.

I think it looks gorgeous and if the SR prestige basses are anything to go by I imagine it will play and sound fantastic. Saying that (when taking exchange rate into account) these are roughly the same price as as ACG custom (starting price of one at least).

In : Warwick Corvette 2004 STD 5 (Bubinga) - I learned heavy basses sound amazing but 6kilos was far too much for my puny shoulders to handle. Warwick Streamer Jazzman 5 - I learned nothing from this really. ACG Salace - I learned that I really love asymmetrical necks and ACG bass + John East preamp sounds incredible. Also learned not to trust a certain prominent member on here (I shall not go into further details). This did however prompt me to place a custom order with Alan which is now well under way! Dingwall Afterburner 1 - I learned that I love everything about Dingwall basses except the lack of growl in the tone. Fan frets are the way forward. Warwick Thumb NT 5 - I learned growly dark tone suits my band perfectly. Out - Warwick Thumb 2006 Dirty Blonde and all of the above excluding the Thumb NT 5

Could you add mine to that list please? Post 28 on here I believe Will get round to listening to each band once this new year malarkey is over and done with!

I'd rather go for 10+ uber spec ACG basses if I'm honest. I second Robs comment too.

I think this is a brilliant idea, share music for free on a large platform of (usually) likeminded people. If people don't like the music don't follow the band etc etc

Bit late to the party but here's my new band. Working on recordings just now (although seemingly at a snails pace!) - https://www.facebook.com/goon.and.the.kings In the meantime, a basic all DI'd recording! - https://soundcloud.com/goon-and-the-kings/dark-side

[quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1419463924' post='2640346'] I think the B7K is bassically a B3K with EQ (and DI), so wouldn't your chance of "getting on" be better with the B7K? [/quote] That's what I initially thought when I read that although it could be a case of "too many options". A lot of people seem to like the simplicity of having 3 knobs instead [s]seven[/s] [s]eight?[/s] however many knobs the B7K has?

I've always struggled getting anything string-related in shops. I find that Guitarguitar tends to only stock the odd set of EB or D'addario (no Prosteels) in 5 string sets. I tend to use Elixirs which finding these for a 5 string is near impossible in shops near me. I would prefer to buy in shops but just find the lack of gear that I actually want to own/try is generally a little flat.

I am loving that t-shirt but alas having about 40 black t-shirts and a ginger long-haired cat means I'm cutting down on my [s]black[/s] Ginger t-shirts If it was white however...

I can only [s]second[/s] mirror the above 3 comments and add that I can't wait to hear/save up for the on board pre-amp once it's released! Still loving my B3K

I struggle listening to Lars. Quite a few metal bands use jazz basses. I know the guy from Syslosis uses one (or did when I saw them).

I know so many people seem to hate the fancy woods thing but I think that's absolutely gorgeous even with the Rosewood fretboard.

I have to say that I have noticed this quite a lot on a similar Facebook buy/sell type page. The majority of people on there are nice but there is a small minority who seem to have no tolerance/understanding of the fact that some people aren't as knowledgeable as them. No real need at all to be rude like that to anybody IMO.

Would like to do this myself having recently went back to using Warwick basses so subscribed to this thread! I do imagine it wouldn't have enough space without flipping it to a weird (and probably extremely irritating angle). Still wouldn't mind one for the low B though!

Really quite enjoyed that song except the bass solo. Don't get the dressing up thing but would kill to be able to play as well as he does!

Pretty cool idea. Would be good to do something similar but with slightly less obvious but still distinct sounding basses (say brands like Warwicks, Spectors etc).

[quote name='Rodders' timestamp='1418764843' post='2633183'] My guess is: 1. Precision 2. Stingray 3. Treble cut 4. Jazz [/quote] This was my guess.

[quote name='40hz' timestamp='1418552012' post='2631026'] Really? My Rockbass Streamer sounds absolutely nothing like a real Streamer. [/quote] I've played quite a few Rockbasses and found they sound and play nothing like any German Warwick. they were all good for the price but not a Warwick in my mind.

I seem to be completely unable to play any walking bassline. I have no real clue why but it doesn't inhibit me from playing/writing what I feel like at the moment so I'm not seeing it as too much of an issue. Will work on it at some point though!

Lots of Porcupine Tree, Magic Pie and Mudvayne at the moment. Spent most of last week listening to Moby and Sigur Ros so it's quite a contrast.
