'The best pop song in the last 30 years' (Happy Ending) - John Peel Mind you, that I would find hard not to have engraved on my body if it were about one of my band's songs, and said by that man! Kudos to you sir!![/quote] HEHE thanks very much. It is quite a cool comment by the late great Mr Peel. Quite an honour.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='783929' date='Mar 23 2010, 08:25 PM']Personally I found it hard to navigate. You can create an account to add bits but I don't know how you find out who wrote it.[/quote] Ok, thanks anyway.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='783912' date='Mar 23 2010, 08:18 PM']They will delete a lot of smaller band pages & they frown on people writing about themselves. This page looks pretty well established so I think you are in![/quote] Woohoo, great stuff. How can I find out who did it? I would like them to add some more info like the Q Magazine album review, Casio watch advert, a bit about the second album that was never released and the bit where I ran off with Natalie Imbruglia. Ok that last bit never happened :)

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='783799' date='Mar 23 2010, 06:39 PM']omfg. How exciting. You have to be really big to make it onto wikipedia without being deleted (trust me, i've tried lolz)[/quote] No way, really? I don't know much about it to be honest apart from its somewhere I go now and again to get info on stuff and everyone seems to link to it.

This has taken me by quite a surprise but my old band has a Wikipedia page. I have no idea who wrote it but the details are spot on. It even has all the codes for the releases. Quite cool and very chuffed but it really took me by surprise, especially as I found it by mistake. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_(band)"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_(band)[/url]

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='783325' date='Mar 23 2010, 12:45 PM']Cheers. Yeah, its a bold move considering how much ive wasted over the past year. Im glad i started the MM thread last year though, its given me a lot of info and while it looked like a MM wouldn't be right for me getting hold of Waynes Sub showed it might well be the perfect bass (except for the slightly wider neck issue, which ill have to come to terms with) Funny thing is im never excited after spending money. I always go through a period of buyer remorse the moment ive placed the order lol. Do i really need it? no, of course not but it eats away at me until i have to do something about it. my bank manager will be getting his deep, deep red pen out right now. Ive had quite a bit of interest in my Sub so hopefully that will be sold this week. That will help ease the shock. I was getting tempted by all the SR4s available on here at the moment. I knew i might crack and do something silly but now ive placed the order for the cheap version the rest of my money is safe from you lot ;-) Its in despatch now so will be here tomorrow (fingers crossed).[/quote] Dave, you should never feel bad about spending your money and treating yourself. You only live once, you work hard to earn money, playing bass is your passion and hobby and so you should enjoy it whilst you can. Its only money and material possesion and it can always be sold. If it makes you happy then thats the important bit.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='783296' date='Mar 23 2010, 12:27 PM']After a lot of hard thinking ive just ordered a SBMM Ray34 in Black. Got it for £569 inc delivery which i think is a good price. All these sound clips were very helpful Michael. Thanks. Of course im expecting to balls it all up and find that i really did prefer the Sub with its two band EQ lol.[/quote] Blimey, thats a bit of a move but I think its a good one. I really can't see you being dissapointed. Should be a cracking bass. I bet you are well excited now. Good stuff Dave.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='782906' date='Mar 22 2010, 11:00 PM']Sorry, i'd better not tell you about the superb build quality, tonal range and MASSIVE sound then eh? [/quote] HEHEHE you don't need to. I have a one of the last german standard Corvette's which I bought new at the beginning of the year and is my first ever Warwick. I am blown away by the build quality, tone and wonderful sound of it. Whats even worse is I played a Corvette $$ and its the nicest sounding bass I have ever heard. I had no idea at the time what the dials and switches did but however I set them, it stayed sounding amazing. Anyway, we must not hijack this thread anymore. Stingray's are awsome basses and have always been my dream bass. You really can't go wrong with them which ever one you get. A 3EQ with give you more tonal options over a 2EQ but both are amazing. Big in your face tone.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='782894' date='Mar 22 2010, 10:52 PM']Haha, got GAS? The maple neck is lovely by the way, doesn't really feel/sound much different but looks great! Mine has a particularly nice flame.[/quote] You're not helping my GAS with comments like that

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='782768' date='Mar 22 2010, 09:25 PM']As far as I know, the only way to keep a guitard quiet is to ram the offending article up the player's a***! It goes to show how variable even the Stingray necks are - I think of mine as really thin like a jazz, but I have played some that are profiled like 50's Precisions.[/quote] Yep, I agree. I have two at the moment. ONe is thin and flat and the other is round and more like a precision.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='782088' date='Mar 21 2010, 08:42 PM']warwick corvette $$, can't go wrong[/quote] Oi stop it Oh and while you are being quiet, can you change your avatar, its killing me One last thing, I found out today that for an extra £91, I can get a Streamer $$ with an Ovangkol neck rather than the maple neck

[quote name='implo' post='781780' date='Mar 21 2010, 04:48 PM']Hello, I'd be interested in knowing you signal chain for this - was the bass put through an amp/DI, or straight into the mixer/soundcard? I've just realised my 'Ray doesn't sound like a 'Ray at all... :-/[/quote] The bass was plugged direct into my Shuttle 6 amp which had the entire EQ set flat. Out of the back of the amp I had my minidisc recorder recording live my playing. The minidisc was then plugged into my soundcard on my PC and run through Creative Media player and converted into the MP3 format.

He has very fat fingers.
