Bought an M-Audio controller keyboard off Andy this last week. Deal went smoothly. Thanks! Keir

I've owned four Bongos at various times (4HH & 4HS & two 5HH) Also owned a Stingray 5 at the same time as a 5HH and always felt like I'd plugged in and the tone had dropped out playing the SR5 after the Bongo's somewhat monstrous EQ. I always preferred the ergonomics of the Stingray though and it was a nice sounding bass that sat well in no matter what I was playing. I kept the SR5 over the last Bongo I had as I preferred the simplicity of it, the way it seemed to work with everything, the unfinished neck and the balance and feel of the bass in general (getting GAS for another SR5 I think) That said, the Bongo is a flavour worth having if you like it enough and can keep both. I think yours could possibly be graphite pearl and not ES btw. Looks like my old bass.

I have been playing keyboards in one of my covers bands the last few months, as well as guitar and this week I just updated my sound, buying a couple of Waldorfs - a Blofeld and a Streichfett string synth. The Blofeld sounds fantastic though is maybe going to take a few weeks learning it and bringing it into my set up. The Streichfett sounds lush and will be getting gigged this weekend. It replaces a laptop running the Arturia Solina V emulation software which did sound really good but I get nervous about using the wife's laptop playing out! Much better to have a piece of hardware that can do the job. I think I'm going to enjoy owning these synths.

I've never had a hankering for a Classic Sterling or Reflex but the Big Al and especially the classic Sabre were both on my to buy list. Hoping there's enough around used by the time I do get some scratch together

According to the 'what colour is this?'thread in the ernie ball forums, your bass looks like Stratus Blue Sparkle. I used to have a white Sparkle Sterling 4H and I now have a Silhouette bass guitar in Blue Dawn which is a sparkle blue finish. I think there's a Stingray 4 in this finish for sale on these boards at the moment.

Maybe a Boss RV5 for the modulation setting? I've owned a couple of thoseand regretted selling them afterwards both times.It was only the purchase of a Hardwire Supernatural which stopped me from missing the RV5. I use the supernatural on my guitar board but I do put my musicman silhouette baritone/bass guitar through it and it sounds brilliant. apart from a spring and plate it has some really great ethereal ambient shimmer type settings.

http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/classic-stingray-4.html I quite like the trans blue and in that pic it does look like teal in its bluer moments. (Loved how teal went from green to blue depending on lighting) but I can't understand there being Pacific Blue burst in the classic colours. Looks more of a G&L colour and is still in the current colour options on the regular Stingrays and Sterlings. Would much prefer to see the original trans blueburst which is lighter than the current Morse blueburst. If they ever did a Sabre Classic in the original blueburst with the birdseye neck I doubt I could do anything but succumb to GAS.

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1427452422' post='2730484'] Lovely stuff - is that chap to your left playing some kind of electric mandolin? [/quote] Hi yes it's an electric Mandolin called a Mandocaster. The other instrument on extreme left is a bouzouki

One of two gigging bands I play with. This was filmed at the Celtic Connections festival,Danny Kyle stage at the Glasgow Royal Concert hall at the end of January this year. I'm using the USA Ovation Elite bass I bought off Scooby on here a while back. [media]http://youtu.be/UkQm957LiOw[/media]

If you end up going for an unlined board think about where you want the side dots. some bass have side dots where they normally are on a fretted bass so you played in front of the dots where the frets would be. On others (my current fretless included) the dots are on the fretlines which for me is easier to get my head (and fingers) around.
