Jobiebass

thats gonna look sweeeeeeeeeeet, cant wait to see the finished product!

2nd message in a week to musicalboys123 which hasnt been replyed to, where the hell is my neck?

see, I went from the Swing Rotos to the Elixrs, I would never go back to Rotos now. Tone/feel/Brightness of the Elixrs are way superior IMHO. The coating of my Elixrs is starting to come off now and they still sound just as bright as ever. I wouldnt change them for the world. Plus, the Swing Rotos arnt as smooth as the elixrs, they dont like my fingers much and tear into them. Might just be me, But ive really gone off Roto's and since starting playing bass ive never used anything other then rotos till now.

normal rays of this quality would be 650-750 on evilbay, so how much are these worth then???? Wouldnt get one in black, but I love the metal flake + Matching heeadstock, and it has an extra knob to play with.

Ive got a 3eq EBMM 'Ray, and you cant go wrong with it. BUT I am looking to get a bongo HS or HH 5er to add to the collection. IMO go for the ray unless you want something uber light then get the stirling and if you want the tone go for the Bongo. 'Ray is the way forward though.

Heard so many people GAS'ing over P'basses recently. Is it just one of those things where someone says "I want one" and makes everyone else really want one? or have I missed something completly????? is it the sound? style? what are they so popular all of a sudden? *still figuring out what pups he should get for his P bass build*

aughhh. my neck still aint turned up, ive had it sent to my parents house because I work away and they have gone off on holiday for 2 weeks now. Boooooo. wheres my neck!

[quote name='Huw' post='176324' date='Apr 14 2008, 03:23 PM']Definitely go for the bongo/ and or lessons. Buying more speakers just for the home will be a waste of money, I feel. Your Ashdown with one speaker isn't going to sound a whole lot different to Your ashdown with an extra 8 speakers if it's being played at the same volume. At least a new guitar that you want will be tangible and something you can experience is worth the money you spent on it.[/quote] Your right, its rare I go to the practice room now-a-days anyway to warrent having it louder. Ive only bought a Stingray a month or so back and ive got a unlined fretless being built (when the neck eventually turns up) so I think im ok for basses at the mo, although I do want a 5er and I think bongo is the way forward. Im sure if I could find one in a shop to play id walk out with it with a nice dent in my creditcard.

Yeah I dont plan on gigging with it and I know I really dont need anything louder, But I get bored to tears at work and have nothing better to do then GAS over anything and everything, I work away from home so its always nice to buy something with my "hard" earnt money on the weekend. My Current GAS list is 5string Bongo, pedals with names on ill never use and every upgrade under the sun for my work in progress P bass. TBH I just want something to piss my neighbours off and to look/sound good when im home on the weekend. "In that case I wouldn't bother getting anything else, your existing combo should be more than sufficient for your needs. Spend the spare cash on lessons instead!" Alex I messaged someone from here the other day about lessons, I think after 2 years of learning bad habbits its about time to learn from someone who knows what they are doing. hopefully should start soon, the only person who's taught me anything about bass is a mate who mainly a Guitard, but an instrumentalist all the same. ( I do get a few hours practice a day though, nothing else to do in hotel rooms after work ) *Waits for a hooker joke*

ooo... so this means I can pretty much get whatever 8ohm cab I want then?? Like MAG 210T Deep Cabinet Power Handling 250W continuous Speaker Configuration 2 x 10" + tweeter Frequency Response 60Hz - 20kHz Impedance 8 Ohms SPL 98dB 1W @ 1m H x W x D (mm) 468 x 604 x 420 Weight (kg) 29 Or MAG 410T Power Handling 450W continuous Speaker Configuration 4 x 10" + tweeter Frequency Response 60Hz - 20kHz Impedance 8 Ohms SPL 101dB 1W @ 1m H x W x D (mm) 655 x 604 x 420 Weight (kg) 37 Im guessing as I already have 1x15 ill want to go for 2x10 or 4x10 instead of another 1x15???

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='176218' date='Apr 14 2008, 01:01 PM']Not familiar with the amp but if you can add an extension speaker there will be a speakon or jack for it and it should be labelled with minimum impedence.[/quote] This is the spec for it, speaker out mean I can do it???

Bumpage

hey hows it going. Im a total noob when it comes to amps/cabs. Used a 15wat thing for years and it wasnt till I bought a new one I realised how terrible it sounded, the tone was perthetic etc. I bought an EB 15-180 EVO II Combo which is pretty good, infact. its awesome for me. But where do I go from here? can I add a cab to it or would I need to buy a head and cab(s) If I could add a cab to it then which do I go for? Id like to stick to ashdown although I do like the look of the Markbass cabs (altho never heard them) I dont plan on gigging with it, 2x10? 4x10? any help would be great.

Id give my left ball to have that white sparkle. Thats beautiful!!!

woah, whats the last bass? Love the Led's and huh.... coloured strings?????????????????? man, your giving me so much gass its not fair. what strings are they? and the led's standard or that a new neck???

FFS!!!!!! why have I never heard of piezo before? I guess its a ray with metal flake, matching headstock and extra knob. whats that other nob do? I have no clue but I really really really want it! lol. I want a metal flake 'Ray. No fair. GAS!!!!!!! oh and the white jazz, whats that around the neck?? like a white line. does it come like that? same with the black line on the Squire, or is that something you have done? cause it looks awesome.

Either that or the IT department here are over zealous.[/quote] Im a Sanctions Investigator for a large UK bank (sorry im not allowed to say which one due to the sensitive nature of my job) So im here finding terrorists all day and arm dealers... and on ebay w00p

[quote name='Musky' post='174398' date='Apr 11 2008, 10:49 AM']£52 with a day to go? There's a guy selling them new for just £7 more. I can spot a business opportunity here - I'm off to buy some red emulsion! [/quote] Dont forget to take off the strings and the scratchplate and replace the potcover with a 1mm thin piece of ill fitting plastic!! But wait, set the action really low on the E string and put some paper under there to get rid of the fretbuzz.

I really dont need to put ANY text to this link at all... thats that good..

You think this guy would swap me for my Fretless Jazz and EBMM 'Ray?? edit: Oh crap, people have started bidding on it.
