Up! -
Quite a few of the Burns basses hav three pups, including the Bison does aswell. Also the Godin Shifter (oh you beat me too it) I don't know but would guess that most designs work well with either 1 or two pups so a 3rd isn't thought worthwhile and that the makers who do use 3 also make lead guitars so have transferred that experience over to basses.

[quote name='Harryburke14' timestamp='1482093663' post='3197617'] I managed to play a load of Burns gear not too long ago. Great guitars and great basses. GLWTS. [/quote] They certainly are-very nice build quality Trades added

and some scooped eq?

[i]Note: too many basses means that some have to go.....more incoming. [/i] [i]Trades: A more traditional passive bass-aomething light that handles well e.g. Jazzers, precision or bass collection for a friend to learn on.[/i] This is a nice Burns Marquee bass but my curiosity has now been satisfied. It now sits in its case and I can't see me ever using it in my band "up she goes". Here is a link to a review I did of it on BC: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/292454-burns-marquee-review/page__p__3142296__hl__marquee__fromsearch__1#entry3142296"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3142296[/url] [attachment=234294:IMG_2676.jpg]

[i]TRADES[/i][i]: A nice P bass, German Sandbergs, USA G&L's,[/i][i] Sterling Ray35. [/i] [i]I like [/i][i]34" scale basses, nothing too heavy and frets and cash either way-try me[/i] Fender Precision, lined fretless Bass made in the USA in 1995. SN N552234 Candy Apple red, white pick guard, maple with rosewood board, string though. Everything is original and all electrics work perfectly. It is nice and light in weight It has a few minor scratches on the back and side and a tiny ding on the bottom. None of these are significant visually IMHO. It also has round wounds on it that have left some marks along the string lines. Apart from that it looks almost new which isn't bad for a bass that is over 20 years old! It's been very well looked after. I bought this locally as I had similar bass about 5 years ago. Since then I have bought a frettless Stingray and realize that although I like it I still don't need this so it is up for sale. It plays beautifully and produces the feel and sound you'd expect from a quality fretless. -
Me too good track and video ;0

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1482000805' post='3196925'] Try Status Hotwire half-rounds. Just as smooth as flats but with more growl, great for fretless. I just tried to look them up on their site, you might have to call them... They are mentioned as being for sale but I cannot seem to find where to click to buy a set! [/quote] +1 I like those, unfortunatel;y they don't have them for sale on at the moment. Hopefully they will get some more soon

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1481965370' post='3196550'] I'm a bit confused about two words. It's Stingray and versatile.? They don't seem to go together for me�� [/quote] By that I mean you can use them (and they are used in) a lot of different genre's and styles of music. I use mine for rock but they can also more subtle stuff. Here's my fretless on a soundcloud demo (excuse the mix and playing as its a demo).

Re: Stingrays and G&L's, having owned a few of each now. Both are excellent and very usable. Stingrays are a little more quirky maybe but are very versitile. I have a great fretless with a wonderful tone Weight? well typically they both have great balance and vary in weight. Some of the older ones are pretty heavy so it's a case of finding one that your confortable with. There is a wider breadth of sounds on the G&L's but do you need it? If you like simplicity I would say Stingrays If you need a passive option G&L's. I don't know much about Lakland's.

Bands, who had songs that were the same as the band name.
Pinball replied to MacDaddy's topic in General Discussion
I write so when I was in a band called Beautiful Skin I wrote a track called Beautiful Skin! When I was in a band called Deep Red I wrote a track called Deep red! Neither band lasted long enough to record them but all was not lost as the band I'm in at the moment recorded Deep Red. I hope too record Beautiful Skin myself sometime. -
I had one. No follow up message If it was a scam it was for a faily low cost items so it probably wasn't worth the follow up New member again

Xotic XJ 1T 5. sale or trade 4 strings **TRADED**
Pinball replied to grahamd's topic in Basses For Sale
Wow where do you find these gems Graham, that is lovely. -
When I saw the title I was thinking SR5, Ibanez prestige or a G&L or yammy maybe but by suggesting probably a passive I'm struggling I would suggest a warwick 5 but wouldn't worry about the passive bit...Also get something that feels familiar so that swapping isn't a big deal. I don't like the 5 string F' jazzes at all, either in terms of sound of playability. A recent fender 5 precision maybe but I don't have experience of them
-
Digitech Harwire HT6? Really clear on stage, quick and accurate. I can check all my 5 strings with one swipe
-
I have a set that came on a bass, cool looking and no issues. I don't use them at the moment as I standardized on Schallers

Waddyareckon? The audiences love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ma3l59xGcI

I hope that its a sign that people are looking for a different listening experience and actually listening to whole albums rather than individual tracks

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1480975532' post='3188714'] Having had a chance to spend some time with the BB1024, I have altered my opinion. Whilst still preferring the profile of the 414 neck over the 1024, I find that I prefer everything else about the 1024 above the 414 and the former has now become my 'go to' bass. [/quote] I think neck preferences is a strange one. Familurity, and therefore the patience to give it a chance plays a large part. If it sounds good and feels familiar your there. I've played everything from skinny ibanez 4's to old "cricket bat" warwicks and have learned to get on with them all

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1480759405' post='3186907'] You can't go wrong with a G&L JB2 Tribute. Amazing basses for the money.

Neck Through or Bolt on, is there any practical difference?
Pinball replied to Pinball's topic in General Discussion
So then reading the above it's nothing to worry about...as long as your happy with the sound -
Hi, I used to think that neck-through was something to aspire too until I got a used Ibanez 3005 wich was a stunning bolt on model that changed my mind. I have since worked my way though many basses sice to get to my current favourites (Stingray's and G&L) and it I dawns on me that they are all blot on models. I have had both types at the same time and couldn't hear any difference. I have noticed that the bolt-on's seem to generally lighter in weight but that is about it really. Waddyathink?
