[quote name='Ou7shined' post='813188' date='Apr 20 2010, 10:35 PM']Ah bad news man. I traded it. (I need to update my gear on that page) I'll take my Shuker '51 for you to drool over though. It's kind of the same but better in every respect. [/quote] noooooooooooooooooooo, ive been dying to try one of these. I demand a refund for unfair advertising!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='813159' date='Apr 20 2010, 10:15 PM']Luckily the "you drool you buy" policy isn't upheld. Just as well, in the pics from last time that's not rain on us. [/quote] nice one cos its your 51RI im after hahahaha.

so whats the deal on saturday? when do we stick the gear into the hall for setup,,,,,there are a few basses im gunning to try, fender 51RI a possible Ricki woo hoo. G&L tributes and a orange terror. My question is,,,,,,,if i drool on anything do I have to buy it????????????

[quote name='xgsjx' post='810577' date='Apr 18 2010, 06:54 PM']If you hate the sound of new strings then try flats. I took the plunge about a month ago & love how they have plenty of frequencies but don't sound bright like rounds do.[/quote] i tried fenders flats and didnt like them cos there wasnt enough attack on them, in saying that they were heavy gauge and raised the basses action. maybe a lighter gauge is what im after,,,,,or of course just use worn in rounds

get an ampeg B5R, i happen to know someone willing to swap one for a svt3 pro

[quote name='karlfer' post='810390' date='Apr 18 2010, 04:04 PM']Whats this changing strings stuff. I've only been playing 35 years. [/quote] hahaha genius.

[quote name='urbanx' post='805989' date='Apr 14 2010, 01:08 PM']P.S Nice bass![/quote] oh right back at you matey much love to the jags

[quote name='4-string-thing' post='810352' date='Apr 18 2010, 02:58 PM']I'm still trying to get my head round the concept of cleaning a guitar.......[/quote] yeah i know mate its kinda new for me. thought I would treat the big fella though

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='810092' date='Apr 18 2010, 10:13 AM']Well I've always believed that once you've taken those strings off they lose stuff, I dunno how to explain it, but they've been under that high tension then released they won't hold there tune aswell, I know this is true for guitar. Like you I hate the new string sounds, too brittle and bright, and with a lot of companies striving for long lasting strings they stay newer for longer, I want dead dull strings!!!![/quote] i really like those white jags,,,,,i think they are very vintage with the amzing rock look,,, very cool. not that i love my black jag any less mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a B5R head matched with a b-4x10hlf. its bloody amazing, cant wait to gig it.

see i dont think cleaning the strings is going to be my thing either, im not changing the strings cos im tight or skint, infact i have 2 spare sets in my gig bag,,,,its the sound of new strings im not a fan of. i was amazed at the dirt that came from the fretboard, i would urge everyone to give it a bash, my bass is 3 years old and although I usually give the body a good clean the fretboard is overlooked.....Never again hahaha

[quote name='leftybassman392' post='809968' date='Apr 18 2010, 12:14 AM']Have you thought about cleaning the board when you change the strings? Or is that too infrequent?[/quote] definetly too infrequent....the fretboard looked dry and dirty so thought i would give it a clean before taking it to the moffat bass bash. Im just not a fan of the new string sound so tend not change them too regular. My guitarist says he changes his strings twice a month.......so that kind makes me feel guilty hahaha

Ok chaps and chapesses, I got some stuff to clean my bass and the fretboard...I removed the strings so I could make a really decent job of it... My thoughts are now do I put the strings back on or stick a new set on.....The strings in my opinion have plenty of life in them and im not the biggest fan of the sound of new strings. So im just seeing what you guys would do in these circumstances. Cheers Steven
