[quote name='tredders' timestamp='1457044282' post='2994883'] Every Jazz bass I've ever owned has been like this for me. I've owned an AV62, couple of nice Japanese RI models, and (briefly) a JV one, and they all sounded woeful when I played them. I think I just don't like the sound that Jazz basses make! [/quote] Same here I love the sound they make when playing them at home and just can't make them work for me in a band-samdberg TM4's are an example. They are clearly great basses just not for me.

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1456933433' post='2993725'] The marketplace is full of stingrays 2 weeks before the bass show... And I need to hold on till then and only buy something if I can't find anything there. And I LOVE Stingrays!!!! [/quote] Interesting I was thinking the same about Sandbergs for sale

Musicman stingray 3 band low output!
Pinball replied to Jimbogubson's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've have a couple and they are "low volume" when compared to my other basses, however they cut through the mix where the others fail. Check with your mate and if he is happy with it then it is probably fine. -
This is a really nice playing Stingray 5. It is a hybrid between a SterlingRay35 and a USA SR5 neck so is priced accordingly. [i]Trades: I'm pretty maxed out to be honest. I would consider a light weight 4 or maybe 5-preferably passive. Nothing too small though as I'm a big bloke. Maybe a nice fretless. I'm not really into jazzes or Fenders unless its a precision or something interesting. I also have an irrational urge to try more G&L's. Cash my way[/i] I had the SterlingRay35 for a while (I traded it and then bought it back at one stage). I loved the sound and feel of the bass but was never that happy with the neck so when I got the chance of a used USA neck I jumped on it and have been very happy with the results. The reason for sale is simply that I now have a red EB Stingray, which is the colour I always wanted so this one doesn't get played. It is a Sterlingray35, a creme pick-guard and an EB neck. It will have the original strap buttons put back on and a set of used Status half/rounds on it. As far as sound and looks go it is the same as a USA Stingray-I know this as I switch between them regularly. The neck swap was done by Eltham Jones at the renowned Edge Guitars in Bristol An area of damage is shown in the last pic. The previous owner used to rub the neck up and down the mic. It looks nasty but you don't feel it or notice it when playing-see video. The neck itself is beautiful and transformed what was already a nice bass guitar into something even better. I have a box so can post it if need be. Any trial is welcome. Note: Feel free to share the video too as we need all the help we can get.

An "as new" super cool telecaster. it has hardly been used and is a great guitar so save yourself some dosh. A sad story: I had been searching for a Tele for a while. I tried almost every guitar in the Bristol Area and kept coming back to this one. The band I was going well I took the plunge and bought it. We then had one gig and the band split. Since then I have been playing bass. I have thought of selling it several times but each time I think it is too nice and put it back in it's case. it is still the best Tele I have played. It has slightly hotter USA Texas pickups and is translucent blonde colour-better then the pics. Any trial welcome-it comes with the tabs and case shown. Trades? A lowish value back up bass, preferably simple/passive with a thump. USA Peavey, BC, Farida, MIJ "P bass, G&L or stingray type with money my way.

[quote name='kevvo66' timestamp='1456693910' post='2991547'] I've just packaged up my Nate Mendel p bass to send to the Netherlands but it being replaced with scheter j bass , hope I've done the right thing ,oh bugger wish I hadn't read this thread [/quote] I'm in the same boat almost. I have a bitza SR5 that I like a lot and I have been taking pictures today to sell it as I can't really justify having two SR5's. I feel like I'm its parent. A tough one

Two left. All pedals are well cared for, boxed and have velcro attached. Postage is £4 per item 1. Malekko B:Assmaster Germanium Fuzz pedal. This is a great octave fuzz with a whole bunch of great options and usable tones. Mainly thanks to it's intuitive control set. Note: I just finished recording with this one with the band It is in nice condition but if you look closely you will see that there are a couple of small chips to the paint on the front edge. There is also a glittery no.6 sticker on the back side but that may have been there from new. £100 [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNOgYX4cQUY"]https://www.youtube....h?v=VNOgYX4cQUY[/url] 2.

I have your basses younger twin sister. I got in a trade last year with the intention of trading it on. It instantly cured my P bass GAS as It is a joy to play. You description of dialling in the sound is spot on. I'm not sure what you are looking for but you should keep it. I don't think money will buy a better bass for general use. -
I just love the tone.... https://www.facebook.com/guitarloves1/videos/203224193342679/?pnref=story

Thanks, very useful as we're getting stuck into some more tracks at the moment. I'll feed back the synth stuff.

David came along to the last SW bass bash with some very nice basses. No hard sell and was really interested to hear what others thought of them.

Natural wear marks or were they like that new from the factory ? -

[quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1454105493' post='2966606'] I'm planning on buying a Yamaha bass (my first bass as a guitar player, will mostly be for recording at least initially) but have just saw that the 5 string version is actually cheaper than the 4 string. Would there be any reason not to just get the 5 string, even if I was only going to play the top 4 strings at first? Or are there other downsides to 5 strings that would make paying more for the 4-string version still a viable option? Cheers. [/quote] For a a guitar player and for a first bass for occasional use, no difference IMHO If you intend to stick with bass my experience was that it was better to learn on a 4. The reason is that I played up and down the length of the neck. I had a 5 first and was tending to play across the neck as if I was playing a guitar solo. I went back to 4's before moving to 5's permanently. I hope that makes sense I still have lots of learning to do but am much happier after learning on a 4 first

Essential gig tool\spares/emergency kit?
Pinball replied to The Admiral's topic in General Discussion
Batteries, gaffa tape and a little tool kit. If your looking to cover everything take a spare bass. If something happened to my amplification in most emergencies you can DI -
[quote name='NevilleRaine' timestamp='1453230552' post='2957697'] Well my scales aren't the best and I seem to get a slightly different reading every time, but it's in the region of 4kg / 9lbs. I'm not sure what they usually weigh in at, but mine does feel a tad lighter than some other Ash SR5's I've come across, and balances nicely. [/quote] I have a similar looking bass but it's fretless and it is pretty light too. Note: I Also bought from PMT on a whim after trying it out and falling for it. I went back in with about 4 guitars to trade as part of the deal and I can say I honestly say I never regretted it. Nice bass, GLWTS

[quote name='Norm' timestamp='1453154186' post='2956987'] Cheeky thread hijack! My band Kohiba have just completed a new ep & I've just uploaded them to soundcloud. Any listens, likes, shares & comments will be very appreciated! [url="https://soundcloud.com/kohiba"]https://soundcloud.com/kohiba[/url] Cheers, Norm [/quote] That hit's the spot for me Norm in terms of general sound. Lots of energy and an interesting mix of old and new styles. It makes me want to see you play live! I can't really comment on the production as I was listening though my PC
