they're both rubbish and will never catch on :-)

Thanks all

Evening all, I have purchased a 6'er from Dougal on here (see ya Monday for collection Dougal) and am looking to expand my playing from my usual 4's. Anyone got any tips, or is it just a case of practice to get used to the 2 new strings? Thanks Graeme

Played a midwife's charity ball in Kent on Friday night, was a cracker.

Never mind poxy Blur, when will Level 42 get to close the Brits? *retreats to a safe place*

Nice looking bass - that's a great colour

[/quote] BINGO - i noticed last night when i pulled the bass out of it's case that the D wasn't seated in the groove. I cant believe i didn't notice when i was using the bass. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

[quote name='Benplaysbass' timestamp='1328622100' post='1530105'] They start eating around sevenish and it can be midnight time the last course is done, some gigs we have just played between courses. Its a very strange setup. But then years ago playing clubs in the UK we used to get asked to stop for the bingo or raffle. [/quote] Meat Raffle? gotta love a meat raffle

i'll do some checks. It was through my 1x15 combo whcih i've had for donkeys years.

Using my Warwick Corvette last night at rehearsal, I noticed that my D string seemed quiet in comparison to the rest of them. It's not something i've noticed before - could it simply be something in my eq settings or maybe the string?

here here.

Judging by the responses so far, makes me think we could (in alot of cases) easily dep in each others bands!

bit steep for a Tribute act in my book, but £100 for a night out enjoying music you like doesn't sound so bad to me. My advice - save your money and go see Level 42 in October :-) (tickets are £37)

oh and Happy Birthday too!

sure it plays and sounds great, but that slanted neck pickup just looks...erm...wrong to me personally. Congrats on the new bass

Those basses scare me.......,i'm scared that i may like them. The Lee Sklar one looks a cracker.

Thanks both

Hi all Anybody have a Schecter Stiletto Elite 4? I'm after something a bit different from a Jazz/P Bass/MM etc, and although i'd love a Status again, not sure available funds will stretch. I love the look of the Elite, and wondered if it would make a good all round versatile bass? Any thoughts/advice most welcome Thanks all Graeme
