  1. The newer Ray 5's have alnico magnets - same electronics as the Stingray. The Old SR5's had Sterling electronics...maybe check out the new Sterling 5.
  2. [quote name='phil.i.stein' post='742366' date='Feb 11 2010, 06:39 PM']man alive, you must drink even more than i do.. [/quote] A fair bit. Now this...
  3. Sorry to bring this oldish thread back, but Dotfunk are playing at the Jazz Cafe again reletavely soon - would it be a recommended gig? Last time I went there was to see Maceo and it was incredible. One of the best gigs ever...
  4. Bedouin Soundclash - when the night feels my song. Fantastic song and band, but awfully out of tune harmonies at the end...it's cringe worthy. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlsBPH8O7q8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlsBPH8O7q8[/url] at 2:57ish
  5. This bass is beautiful, shame about the cheap looking bridge. I am looking for a fretless...are you considering trades?

  7. Oooooh, this is 2 doors down from me...if only I had the money... BLUMP
  8. Love it man, sounds great. Reminds me of'The Black Crowes' for some reason, awesome stuff.
  9. [quote name='martthebass' post='734772' date='Feb 4 2010, 09:18 AM']PM's replied to. Still available at this point - still searching for the elusive lightweight superJazz.[/quote] The Bongo is lighweight, and with the HS configuration is pretty much as Superjazzy as you can get... heheh
  10. Phwoar, I could really do with this bass. But, alas, I just bought a Bongo 5.
  11. These are supposed to be absolutely incredible. The regular production model (ie - no fancy top) will be available next year called 'Reflex' It's active, passive, series, parallel, HH, HSS, or H - me want.
  12. [quote name='phil.i.stein' post='734234' date='Feb 3 2010, 05:04 PM']sorry to hear that. try firing off an e-mither to [url="http://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/"]http://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/[/url][/quote] I'll definitely email them, customer service said if all else fails then that is where to go. [quote name='Silent Fly' post='734246' date='Feb 3 2010, 05:16 PM']I suggest you send an email to EBMM describing what kind of service the "local EBMM dealer" offers to EBMM customers.[/quote] I would, but I really don't want to take the matter any further really - I've sent a long email telling them what I think of them, and it ain't too nice Besides, they claim to be a MusicMan dealer, and you can order anything from them, but I've never seen a MusicMan in there (except one of mine they had hung up on the wall when it was supposed to be having repairs...grrr)
  13. I went to my local EBMM dealer today, but as a result of a previous argument I have had with them, they very rudely told me to get lost. Wonderful.
  14. There is a very good thread on the EB forums, showcasing the differences between the 2 EQ, 3 EQ, mahogany bodies, and graphite necked basses. You'll be suprised at the differences in tones. Personally, I prefer the 2 EQ, and the graphite necked...if only I could find a 2EQ graphite...

  15. [quote name='Greydad' post='733598' date='Feb 2 2010, 10:55 PM']Hey those are my pics ©©©!!!!! That's my rig and my kitchen floor!! Where's me lawyer? [/quote] Heheh, yeah I stole them. I looked everywhere trying to find a decent pic...and yours were the best. Nice floor btw!
  16. Oh yes, and I bought it used...from the states. The bass is out of warranty and EB customer service are being very nice and polite, but not particulaly helpful. Edit: actually, they are being very helpful, sending me different diagrams and suggesting different possible solutions, but to no avail.
  17. Hello everyone I just bought a Bongo 5HH with piezo bridge, it's awesome. However I can't use the piezo option because the saddle for the E string is so overpoweringly loud it is unusable. I have adjusted the trim pots and it has no effect on the E string. When touched, the saddle makes a sound almost identical to the sound made when you touch the tip of a lead when it is plugged into an amp. It even overpowers the magnetic pickups - and when not playing te E string all the other vibrations from the other strings are picked up on it making it sound quite frankly awful. It's a shame because otherwise this bas sounds friggin' epic. I was hoping for a simple solution from anyone with experience...hopefully not bad (therefore expensive) news. Thanks Zak

  19. I have this incoming. I shall take a full family photo he arrives!
  20. [quote name='MacDaddy' post='728711' date='Jan 29 2010, 01:56 PM']Especially as if it's white and it's a board I'm allowed to call it a whiteboard.[/quote] Correction: It must be called a 'dry wipe pen board'
  21. [quote name='Pete Academy' post='718869' date='Jan 20 2010, 12:11 PM']Brings back fond nightmares for me.[/quote] Do elaborate... This bass is damn near perfect for me, I'm completely in love.
