the only thing im really suprised at these basses is the resale value. At the same retail as a Ric 4001, I dont understand why these basses dont hold any value, even though they have an amazing finish and very advanced electrics. The Ric will still demand over a grand s/h!!!!!!!!!!!! I for one am still exploring all my tones that these basses have on offer and look forward to each rehearsal because its like using a new bass each time. The 18v circuit is a monster and the HS pup config has everything I need. I love these basses to bits and im sure it wont be long before everyone jumps at them

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1001852' date='Oct 26 2010, 10:41 PM']Tuners are wrong, trc is a fake, fireglo colour is wrong, fretboard's too dark, the description's bullsh!t and the seller knows it. Any other questions? Don't believe me - go & give the guy £1200 for it and find out yourself. J.[/quote] i just assumed the smiley face and the face laughing would show sarcasm in my reply. I guess it was lost in translation.

[quote name='MythSte' post='1001095' date='Oct 26 2010, 01:31 PM']I found the neck to be something I didnt pay attention to while I was playing, and thats how a neck should be IMO! I really wish I had the chance to have my old Bongo back. I wasnt very mature as a bass player when I had it and I just dont think I did it justice I do however remember that the 4 band eq was hard work. Loads and loads of good tones on tap but you have to work pretty hard to get a really great tone.[/quote] im finding that I am constantly changing my EQ settings and havent quite found a sound I have settled on. I feel there are just too much options hahahaha. Its like a kid in a sweety shop at times. They are just too good.

how can you say its a fake/copy with those detailed pics

in built Sound gates with no control on parameters (myB5R). I thought my bleadin amp was broke as it kept cuttin out on the O/D channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As soon the finer details are sorted we will be banging out an email to everybody who has been before as a first dibs on hotel accommodation and of course a place at the curry.... Best part about the whole weekend for me is the Sat night as its always a top laugh, and great to catch up with guys and meet new fellow bass plonkers...and come the Sunday you are all like best mates.... Most guys coming here travel a long, long way...some from way down south. Its a good indication of how much of a laugh we get out of it.... Its the most relaxed bass bash I have been to....top event Of course the hangover can sometimes be a little bit of a pain..... Dave P[/quote] Its a top weekend. however I didnt feel as though I got nearly as much drinking done as I should have having a weekend off from the family hahahaha.

I had to say it. [/quote] goddam you Rich,,,,,I now have to go buy a righthanded one of these cos they are so lush. DAMN YOU

I think they will be blown away by you my good man. Just have confidence (but not too much )

mine went away when I used special shampoo on my sons hair when he had something called skullcap. Its basically a buildup of dryskin on a babies head. So the special shampoo gets rid of this,,,,,,,,,AND CALLUSES. So imagine my suprise the next morning when my fingers were soft!!!!! gigged that night and ended up with a few blood blisters. The show must go on hahahaha

if its rock, then you cant beat ampeg. Industry standard and bargain prices 2nd hand. I would recommend a 4x10, they have the clarity and bottom end you will ever need. Plus, more specifically, my ampeg is quite easy to move around. Ampeg all the way with me. Lovely gear, amazing rock tones, decent 2nd hand price and resale value plus looks nice. Ticks all the boxes

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' post='998486' date='Oct 23 2010, 09:22 PM']So theres no chance of organising a Bass Day thingymabob during some public holiday or something???[/quote] if your so eager to go am sure whatever god you pray to won't mind. I'm pretty sure they have places of prayer in Moffat too.
