[quote name='Pete Academy' post='632521' date='Oct 21 2009, 04:29 PM']To sing and play those lines is beyond belief.[/quote] +1 how he can do that is beyond me

what a great looking bass! I'm keen on trying out an SB14 myself after seeing Ed Friedlands video afaik they are shipped to California for final set up/inspection but not at the ebmm factory but at Praxis Music in Orange County
-
great looking SR5,dont do it! I wish I had something to trade as I'd have it along with my maple board stingray 5 in a heartbeat. good luck with the trade -
Stingray 5s had alnico pickups way back in the beginning,then changed to ceramic up till the Sterling 5 came out then changed back to alnico. mines has ceramic and I love the tone - smooth yet growly is how I'd describe it. I've got a Bongo 5HH too and wouldnt have sold my SR5 to get it but I'm glad I have that too. It does a lot more than the SR5 but cant do the thing the SR5 does

I (amongst others) owned CK's natural NS5CRFM for 18 months. Superior to the other Euro 5 I owned and the LX's I auditioned at length. That bass was warmer sounding and had some mids built in even though the preamp didnt. I can only imagine it sounds awesome now with the mods. Materials,fit and finish were on par with a 90's Warwick SS1 I used to have many moons ago. Shame they dont do woods like that on the current ones.

never seen a wunkay without the control plate. looks great like that imo

hi, sorry no, despite looking I couldnt find either of those boards for it. -
Sweet looking bass. imo this is [u]the[/u] Bongo colour. First one I ever saw was in '03 on the press release from musicman just after NAMM and it was in this desert gold. I've had 3 possibly dull looking ones in comparison,not that I'm complaining cos they sound stellar

Bartolini's - what do people think of them?
dub_junkie replied to yourchoiceguitar's topic in Bass Guitars
my only experience with Bartlonis is their MMC musicman replacement. I swapped it out for a Basslines one and the Duncan sounded much more like the musicman tone. The term "polite" mentioned a couple of times in this thread is spot on when describing their MM pickup. It wasnt a bad sound at all,it sounded polished and warm but just not what I was after. -
one day we'll have a Sabre re-issue (hopefully)
-
and so's the radiance red Bongo 5HH... stunning! too many nice basses in this thread. going to stop looking here or I'll just start dreaming of/hatching plans for another Sterling

that autumn redburst SR5 two posts up must be fairly rare. beautiful! :wub:

I remember that SB-2 from a couple of months back LeftyJ. wrong way round but lovely all the same SB-2 is indeed a great bass. my one has a 3 way pickup switch and a tone control.Most players will use the P and blend in the single coil as a tone control but I've gone the other way & ramped the bridge single coil up (and lowered the split P)to match the output of both p/ups. Its the best passive bridge p/up sound I've ever had on any bass ever - cuts through anything. which is just as well as the split P is huge sounding. I love the bridge pickup solo'd and I'm glad I have it even if its not being used the way it was designed/intended. My L-2000 can do many things and is a great bass for loads of different tones but it cant get near what the SB-2 does. I've A/B'd them a number of times and in passive mode the SB-2 sounds bigger and to my ears better than the L2K. emerald blue with birdeye maple neck & ebony board

JB owners on talkbass have said the same pups sound different on the new bass. The new JB sells for $1100/1200 new which is the same as a MIA Std Jazz. imo G&L should do well with their bass given the vast options,lineage and superior build of their bass. Haven't seen any used,they're that new any JB-2s I've seen seem to go for $700-900 used. SB-2's about the same I've only seen a few SB-2s and neither of the JB's in the UK. I'm still torn between either a JB (20 fret/4 bolt) or a JB-2 (21 fret/6 bolt) I love this colour on the JB hope you find the bass you're after! and if theres two give me a shout cheers Keir

sad news indeed. my thoughts go out to his family Keir

theres been some discussion on the JB bass at TB [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=545008"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=545008[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7821999"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7821999[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=564905"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=564905[/url] I'm after either the JB or a JB-2 for my next bass purchase. The chances of finding either in the UK seem pretty slim though so I'm keeping an eye out for a used one in the States that the owner will be happy to ship to me. What about the SB-2? fantastic bass those. great P/J sounds,jazz neck,I sold both my fender Jazz and Precision because the SB-2 sounded better than both imo cheers Keir

Bongo 5 - sapphire black with moonstone guard - I got this from bigwan in a trade for my Bongo 4 same colour/config. came with the Japanese market MM logo'd C&G case and kanda shokai receipt.
-
got it from Si (geddys nose) in June. It has the #8 Jazz neck option and is really rather splendid imo. this and the Bongo 5 string I got from bigwan have killed my GAS the last couple of months which is a good thing

thanks, I've managed to sell a bass (and possibly another) which may mean I can keep this after all. Yay! -
If you dont mind importing from the States there are two on ebay at the moment for just over 1K + shipping and duty/vat. (sigh) I'll own one of these one day in ice blue/maple :wub:

as part of my clear out this lovely guitar has to go. I imported it from the States a couple of years back and its in near mint condition. unfortunately I have mislaid the trem arm during my house move a couple of months ago so have taken a whack off what i would have been looking for originally Its a USA model made at the factory in Fullerton,California. it comes with the warranty card,owners manual,hang tag and the certificate of authentitity signed by Mrs Phyllis Fender. Will ship with a deluxe G&L gig bag The colour is Fullerton Red with matching headstock. The neck has a fairly big profile with a low action. Tuners are Sperzels,and the guitar has the aged parts kit as standard. it also has the G&L PTB system (passive treble and bass) which works a treat. Would love to keep it but bills mean I cant pics:

[quote name='RhysP' post='590638' date='Sep 5 2009, 02:01 PM']I love synths & when I record song demos at home I'll use a synth for the bass part 9 out of 10 times. I find it makes me think about the bass part differently & I tend to come up with more interesting (to me) ideas than I would on a bass guitar.[/quote] +1. the synth bass sounds themseves can be hugely inspiring.
