Really wanted one of these

Nothing better then a white guard on a white bass. Pimp and classy at the same time. Just looks and screams "Clean"

I always find it really difficult to book us in to festivals. I just wouldn't know where to start!

South East Bass Bash 2016 - Addlestone, Surrey, Saturday 24th September
Shockwave replied to Silvia Bluejay's topic in Events
Have decided to step aside for this one, been to a few in a row now and I'll be redecorating my first house all summer long! Enjoy! -
Finally gigged with my Sparkle Pearl White Stingray. Really love this bass, lightweight and great sounding. Have had it for just over a year now

The promoters name is Mark and we played at the St Moritz club last Friday. We got paid, not a lot but we did get paid which is more to be said then most clubs. It was a great night though. Good crowd for an originals show.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1456000951' post='2984500'] ....was using what appeared to be a Music Man Stingray 4H on Ant & Dec's Takeaway show tonight, but it was in a black and white Fodera yin-yang type paint job with front facing LED's. I'm sure that can't have been manufactured by Ernie Ball, as I know from recent experience that they "don't do custom spec". Im sure there isn't any protection regarding the yin-yang symbol, but I wonder how Fodera feel about it? [/quote] They do do custom spec. You just need to be known enough to get it done. A Wilhelm screams bass player has a custom one which he got recently and he told me the story behind it.

I know Wunjos in London have a DR5 as of a few weeks ago. They may still have it.

Great basses, never found a light one though, quite heavy. Sound great and really should have taken off but they were competing in a crowded market. The 6 strings had wide spacing for the time which I would have loved.

Hello all! Finally my band is at the point of gigging and releasing music. For about 10 years (And 3 cities later) I have been desperate to join or form a Melodic Hardcore Punk rock band in the being of A Wilhelm Scream, No Trigger and Strike Anywhere. Last year I had enough of waiting and decided to give a serious go of it. A couple of pub meetings later and finally got a proto lineup. Took a few months to get a stable bunch of people and then the drummer left! Managed to recruit an Indonesian guy who was amazing, I had some real reservations as he didnt own a kit and claimed he air drummed to learn our songs. Well what an amazing guy! Total rhythm brother. Organising practices, kit, Band logo competitions, gigs, contacts, demos, photo shoots etc. I am exhausted! My other half has been so understanding considering I should have been helping her plan our upcoming engagement party! Finally released everything on Facebook today, Demo, Logo, Photos and first gig announcement and I am relieved! But cant stop there, we don't quite have enough material for the first gig so we need to hurry and learn some more covers in the next week! I feel very musically fulfilled right now! If you have the time and the drive you CAN form it. It just took me three city moves, a divorce and lots of sweat and depression to get there! If you guys could give us a listen to see what you think that would be great!

Hello all. I have here a Staff MB350 Jaguar bass. Interesting configuration, 34" scale, twin Musicman style humbuckers, jazz electrics, Jaguar body, slim P bass neck, matching headstock. Has a brand new set of Daddario Prosteels. Also comes with Schaller straplocks, a snazzy space themed strap and a terrible terrible "bag". I bought this on a nostalgia trip as I had one of these as my first bass. Everything works as it should, I have recently set it up with surprisingly low action, good look rosewood fingerboard. PLENTY of turns left on the truss rod. I have recently wet and dried some frets to level them out. There a few beauty marks on the body none of which go through the paint. The control plate is quite tarnished. £85 picked up from Wimbledon or Central London. No shipping sorry.

Not a fan, G&L covers the P+J and looks better. The P is covered by Sandberg. Not a fan of the new bridge either. The usual Stingray bridge would have made it look different enough to maybe win some fans over.

They are ultralight weight.

I have used these in the past with great results. Specifically catered for Drop C from the factory. They also have a "lighter" Drop C set. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/pyramid_bass_drop_c_heavy.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...rop_c_heavy.htm[/url]

Good Bridges not Hipshot. Badass or Babicz
Shockwave replied to Chienmortbb's topic in Accessories and Misc
Gotoh 201. Best cheapest brand name bridge out there. Chunky, and doesn't look ridiculous. I prefer them over Babicz, Hipshot and Badass. However it's not quick release string changing I should have read the original post better!
