I think you want a comma button too . They do look beautiful, but they do seem to be wildly expensive, relatively speaking anyway.

Here's some stuff, I have more but will need to put them into Sibelius, they're very roughly scribbled out on manuscript paper at the moment. I'd also need to work out where they're from, they're not necessarily from the start of the song. Hope these are of some use .

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1387629874' post='2313960'] Fantastic! I'd love to be able to try both of those. When I was getting into music it was the height of the early 70s glam rock era, and bands were full of amazing looking custom guitars and basses, and the idea of owning an instrument that was like anyone else's was simply boring! When I built my first guitar I must have spent a good 6 months drawing out shapes and making full-sized cardboard mock-ups to get the right balance of originality and practicality. The musical world would be a very dull place if we all played the same instruments. [/quote] I know, and I do like less run of the mill instruments, but how would you play the black one without a strap ?

Kind of nice to be different I guess, but coooooooome on !!!!

I've got some transcriptions that I can dig out, won't be until Friday though. It's not tab either, hope that's not a problem.

I've wondered if it's not possible to just have one mounted on a plated without any real modification, covering the existing side hole ?

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1387321857' post='2310807'] Planet Waves have been implicated in this respect. Allegedly. [/quote] That's what my thread was about [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210655-planet-waves-cables/page__hl__trb6p__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210655-planet-waves-cables/page__hl__trb6p__fromsearch__1[/url] The tip bit of the plug is a lot smaller than the corresponding bit on a neutrik plug, and wasn't making proper contact inside the barrel.

I have stripy paint, maybe you could go left to right with one coat, and up and down with the next, that may give a kind of tartan effect .

I had to have the one on my TRB replaced, though in the end it may have been the jack plug. See my post here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210655-planet-waves-cables/page__hl__trb6p__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210655-planet-waves-cables/page__hl__trb6p__fromsearch__1[/url]

So when it disappears off the screen after a day or so, you have to post another .

I just got a mayones 6 string in a trade, I gotta say it's an amazing instrument !

I'd consider Yamaha and ibanez maybe. Definitely buy used though.

Well done .

Where have you got into ?

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1367144802' post='2061604'] Your in the wrong thread mate. This is for the most beautiful bass! [/quote] What are those ? The 2nd one days looks cool !

You really need to try a few out, not just one but a few . I have 3, and they're all different, each has different string spacing and neck width etc. Yamaha's are really nice, I can't comment on the TRB1006 models, I've never played one, but I have a very early TRB6P model that's a beautiful instrument, but it does have a very wide neck and wide string spacing that some people would struggle with. My Modulus has narrow string spacing and a beautiful slim neck, as does my Mayones. You also need to consider technique, it's a different beast to a 5 string, and totally different to a 4 string, though there is a 4 string there, just hiding between the 2 new strings .

I got an intellitouch PT10, it cost about £10 from Amazon. I believe Michael Manring uses them, he has some very weird tunings, so if it's good enough for him . Tracks my low B extremely well. Also changes colour to green when you're in tune.

Very envious

Ebony fretboard ? What are the pickups and electronics like ? I can imagine this is going to be similar quality to the USA basses. I'd really like a Tobias or one of his current basses.

Nice . I tried a Tobias Toby Pro 6 once, that was nice, but I should imagine this would be in a different league, being Japanese and the Toby Pro's being Korean. Congratulations on a nice bass !

Sounds cool, I've always liked the look of Tobias basses.

It's the same on here though. I recently advertised a couple of basses for trade, you wouldn't believe the low priced basses I was offered, despite my requirements being quite specifically stated in the adverts.

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1387114929' post='2308283'] I always use AbeBooks for second hand books.
