Who influenced you to pick up and start playing Bass.
Pinball replied to thebigyin's topic in General Discussion
Lemmy and Hawkwind for me, their stuff was all bass driven until the mid-70's. Also Rod Clements from Lindisfarne who often played fretless, which I found interesting and at times quite haunting -
Yep Stingrays...can't go wrong with them

I remember owning that G&L L1505, I found it a joy to own and play but maybe a touch heavy and I couldn't quite the sound I wanted with my band so I sold it on. I now use a Fender Dimension HH Standard and am very happy with it so I guess it gets my vote. It is passive and I get the tone that I want just by dialling in different amounts either the back or front pickup. It hits the spot, years of GAS cured...for now!

Bargain, I have a Starla with Bigsby. These are outstanding value. GLWTS -
Well an update is that my Amazon D'addario string order failed to arrive so I got myself a set of EB 045-130's and couldn't be happier. There was nothing wrong with the tapewounds on it but it just wasn't the sound that I wanted to achieve or had in my head when I bought the bass. To say that I'm happy is an understatement, I'm really blown away with this bass/string combo. Thanks for the advice.

Yep it's a 705. It will be interesting to experiment a bit. Thanks all
-
Well as no one answered but just in case anyone is interested I have ordered a set of D'addario Chromes to compare them with the Labella Copper Tapewounds and go with my favourite.

I'm really happy with my Eden, very cheap but great quality provided you can live with the 15V supply. I use it for prog and for a subtle effects on Fretless. It is permanently on my board as I use it with other effects for a totally spaced sound.

Hi, I just got myself an Ibanex SRF705, which has copper Labella Tapewounds fitted (or at least I think that is what they are as 4 have a black winding and one has red). It has kind of thrown me as I quite like the sound, especially while muting but I also liked the stock strings on a one in PMT that I played a while back. With its strong piezzo sound I really don't have any experience or reference points. What are others using or would recommend for their SRFs? Your thoughts would be much appreciated

I've had a whole bunch of nice basses I have always struggled with Jazz basses so can't comment on jazzers but I love MM's and G&L's and at the moment my favouorite precision sound comes from a G&L SB2 and my favourite humbucking bass is currently my Fender Dimension Standard. I hope that doesn't confuse matters more 😎

Swap you for a Dean Fretless 5? -
Nice bass and a trusted seller!
-
Seeing as the bass is sold there isn't much point in me hanging onto the fretted neck. It is used, nicely figures and rock solid.
-
Me, a 5 stringer would be nice but I'm happy with my Dimension %
-
Aha, question answered I guess. I hope that you get on well it it Note: I'm a big G&L fan and have had Tribulte L2000's and L2500s. My facourite bass is an SB2 but I would like to try a US L2500 at some point.

Well done, it's a stunner! -
Thanks, I think I'll see if I can do the swap. My main bass is a Fender Dimension so this more of a backup in any case. If I don't use it I'll sell it on

Natural, lightweight at 9.7lb, plays like a dream. Up for sale somewhere on here.

I have have a nice 5 stingray that I'm thinking of swapping for a Warwick Thumb BO. The Thumb sounds like a good one, late 90's, great woods and condition and very lightweight. I can't try before we swap though as there is some distance involved so once I'm committed it is happening. My question is about the relative values,. I am assuming that they are about the same so am I right? I have never played a Thumb before and am a bit unsure that the "geometry" will suit me so I may end up selling. Any advice is much appreciated. Ed

SOLD Fender Dimension American Standard V (passive)
Pinball replied to Pinball's topic in Basses For Sale
Under offer! -
Hi, I'm selling an American Dimension V standard. These passive American 5 stringers are tough to find and this is model is my favourite 5 string bass. So why sell? Well I have two. The only reason that I haven't sold one earlier is that I couldn't decide which to keep and which to sell. However my black one fits my bands image better sot his beaut is now up for sale. About this bass. It handles really well, sounds great both solo and in the mix and I love the look too. I also love the passive vol/vol/tone set up as I can get all the sounds I want and blending/balancing the two pups is really easy to do. It great on the ear. I would describe it as having a smooth but powerful sound that covers the ground between a Stingray and the passive Fenders. I find it preovides everything that I need or want. It is in great condition, pretty much as new with its case as pictured and I don't think that the previous user had used it live at all. I will get better pictures later as the few below were taken in bright sunlight. Most of the time it looks like the one in the video. Specificatiuon and video follow.
