Well, thats not ideal

It was the 5 sienna burst. Really incredibly light and resonant. A very good bass really - so totally different from the Euro, which weighs a ton

The RST I had which was the lightest bass ever had no neck dive.

I got rid of a lot of stuff years ago, so the oldest musical thing I have is a Korg 05R/W module that is in the cupboard that I bought new in a music shop in san francisco in 1996. Then I have a few guitars I got in the late 90s, again fairly unused. Then the bass I have had longest is an SR1000efm which I bought and had imported from Utah in the states in 2006/7. I don't really play it that much as it is a 4 string, and I just play 5s, but I am pretty attached to it and it isn't worth selling.

Indeed - if I still had my dwarf I would have that, but at the moment it is off being fixed. I am using a B3n but not that familar with it, or set it up right. The TC450 though as a preamp does seem to work quite well, although getting the mix right for the bass is the main thing. Actually the main thing is more reliance on the IEMs.

Although they look good, they can be a bit of a nightmare for sound. Still, make a change! Nice Uberhorn photo!

Well, I would say that sounds a good result for being in telford!

Certainly interested here - I have just gone cab-less with my new 2x Evo 8 setup, and at the moment I am not in love with the sound, although people seem to think it sounds fine. It could be that I am just a bit separated from the sound. I found rather than going straight from my board (which I am not setup for as my dwarf is still away being fixed), the better sound I got was taking my TC450 as a preamp and boosting my mids in the mixer. But I have only done this for one gig and two practices so far so I am nowhere near what the actual solution is yet.

I love that performer - was tempted to get the one in mansons in exeter, but they wanted too much, but there aren't many around, always easy to critise fender for not doing anything different but when they do, noone buys them!

Same here, not many groups like that and when they are there always seems to be ego problems, or keyboard player with 100 synths that spends the whole night getting one sound issues. So the pub rock is good now in that there is a lot of modern stuff and its not all blues and hendrix (and no oasis either!).

Well, lots of things like above, where things were just much cheaper then than now, but it recent times I guess a Spector RST5 £1100 a couple of years back. Or a chapman stick for £1400. Actually, no, scrap that, my favourite, Gibson The Paul 1979 for £400 a couple of years back, matched the one that I wanted in 1981 but my dad wouldn't guarantor the loan (for perfectly reasonable reasons!).

There is a lot of that sort of thing - I have spent a lot of time avoiding blues groups and everything. i am in a pub rock band and that is ok, but it wouldn't be my first choice, and there isn't a lot of what I want to do around, but there are people who want to do different stuff, and maybe you just specifically have to look for them. Get the music sorted and then maybe the venue comes later.

If it was truly a limited edition it might be higher, but I think there will probably be quite a lot of them. And its like most of these sort of basses, I have never seen a sterling by musicman actually go for much, you can get them pretty cheap.

Maybe you just need to find a different band?

It really isn't. £110 to ship 1 bass to the UK, that would be pretty good. 11000 to ship 100 basses? not so good. £335, seems like a good deal. £520, nothing special there then.

I like the minimalist look, and the joe dart tag means nothing either way to me.

You should be dancing by the BeeGees and The heat is on by Glen Frey. THe bass on that last one is a bit of a killer, just because it is relentless. The bass on dancing is easy, but made more complicated as I am singing it too!

Litterally what I came her to ask. I always say Hoe Tone, but not sure that is right.

would it kill him to get a red guitar to match?

I was ready to buy one - put it in the basket and then.. £193 for shipping? I think not.

in your photos

Trust me, you might describe yourself negatively as competent, but you will be surprised at how many people in bands don't reach that level! So go out and find something, or find a replacement for him

I think I still have my ticket somewhere - I was going through a box recently and found it. Not sure where it is now, probably find it going through boxes again. I was probably got by asking someone who actually phoned or knew them (probably countb at the time) as I didn't do much phoning (I still dont!). PS: Thanks Dad for your valuable contribution to the conversation.

I have the 1x10 which is a great little cab with the bam200 for noodling around in my room. Not very helpful I know as you are after a bigger one
