[quote name='budget bassist' post='277954' date='Sep 5 2008, 03:57 PM']Just so you know you can get 5 string sterlings (you wont get one for £600-£700 though, nor will you get a bongo for this money), you can also get a sterling with a rosewood board.... As for sound, i find the SR4, SR5 and sterling sound pretty much the same. The bongo is a completely different beast though, i didn't think it had as much growl as the others, but the preamp is stupidly powerful and there's a lot of tonal variation there, i think it's got a 4 band EQ or something?[/quote] I sold my Bongo 5hs for £700. so you can get them for that kinda money.. I have to say it really depends on the sound you like. For me the Stirling is terrible. ive played a fair few and I really cant get on with them, but the 'Ray fits perfect for my sytle/tone playing jazz/funk/punk I had the bongo and I hav eto say its f***ing AWESOME, althou it weighed a TON!! definatly need a good strap for it. very wide one. The tone diff you got out of it compaired to the ray was unreal, you can get anythign from a jazz bass to a ray sound to man, pretty much anything, ive never owned such a versitile bass. But the weight+looks+exta pickup I didnt want ment I sold it. But the 'ray fits what I play perfect so I dont really need anything else (got a flea bass coming friday, so we'll see then)

[quote name='lwtait' post='279861' date='Sep 8 2008, 05:41 PM']yeah, ive only heard good things about cort, and my cort gu*tar is excellent quality.[/quote] I just bought my first guitar this month, a Cort Guitar too, Evl v4, lovely. But I have a flea bass coming this week so the guitar will be put down for good.

Bahh, If I had the spare cash to buy new, Id love a 4H ray White Sparkle, Piezo, Birdseye maple neck/board. My red one is the nicest ray ive yet to play though. havent played one as nice yet.

[quote name='David Nimrod' post='91649' date='Nov 20 2007, 06:46 PM']I would love a VBA400 head & 4 x 12" cab (or two!). People often say they're rubbish, but I reckon not ;-)[/quote] I have the VBA400 and 4x12 cab. Its fooking excelent! nuff louds! GREAT tone, what you would expect from a good full valve head really. I weighed the head in the flight case though.... cant remember now if it was 6.5 or 7.5 STONE. but its fooooooking heavy anyways. If your local, pop down if you wanna bash.

But the address isnt Wales like the original ebay account, he dropped the postage costs, he wants me to pay by other means then paypal (which is protected) Any ideas what I should do about this? Im not buying it now as I dont feel safe. But im guessing his account has been hacked? althou he has good feedback so far.

there is a LUSH stirling fretless in Electro Music in doncaster at the mo, 2nd hand. Not sure what they wanted for it, think it was 650, Birdseye maple neck too. think it was sunburst. LOVELY. It played reallllllly nice. ive not had a massive experiance with fretless basses, ive only had a MIM Jazz and the fretless I made. Ive picked up a few other fretless basses to mess about on them but the stirling was my fav (more so the a fretless Wal (IMHO). Altho ive never played any other fretless musicmans to compaire. I love the sound you get from Musicmans though. doesnt matter which bass it is, they all sound emense. and the fretless is no diffrent. You still get that baby stingray growl, but its much more bluesy and much less sharp. But TBH untill you play one you wont know if its the bass for you. If your close to doncaster, pop by if they still have it in. I saw it weekend before last in there, but check electro website cause its on there in the 2nd hand bit.
