Nice bass for a sinister person - but waaaaay to much money being asked for. €1500 is more like a good price - €2000 if you really can't live without it, but €3500!?

Go on then - appropriate button pressed

Maplin do it - don't know how their prices compare though - [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=33752"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=33752[/url]

[quote name='Exile252' post='293861' date='Sep 28 2008, 01:17 PM']What do you guys think of a desperate situation like this?[/quote] To be honest I'd set your sights a little lower and don't get into a big debt over it. You can find something just about as good - maybe even better for probably less than a third of its price, - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27918"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27918[/url] Hamster

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='293610' date='Sep 27 2008, 09:20 PM']I know a lot of people on here swear by the high beams, but I prefered the Marcus Miller fat beams. I ordered them especially for my Marcus Miller Jazz & they felt just right - Softer feeling than the usual bright sounding strings & with a really full bodied, bright sound. Try some. I really liked them.[/quote] I use the Hi Beams on my 5 string Lakland and they're superb on that. I use the 5 string for different music than the Stingray which is for rock/blues, which is why I'm looking for a little less "zing" than the Hi Beams. Have you tried the Sunbeams at all?

Yeah - a great day! Thanks so much to Nik & Martin for all the hard work. Kudos to Monz fer drivin' al't way from Baarnsley up't cobbled motorways Bernie Goodfellow's basses are just amazing! - far to good for a ten thumbed troll like me! Met lots of new faces behind the avatars and Joe White did a fantastic set-up on my new Stingray. It was way more than just a set-up, more like a full stripdown and complete service. Fell in love with some more Lakland's - I think they really are my fave out-of-the-box bass. Already looking forward to the Spring SE Bass Bash!

I'm going to put a set of these on my Stingray, as I think they will both be a good match to the bass and the sound I like (typical Stingray) Both strings look really good, but what differences have users found - if any? I might well end up buying a set of both, and putting some on my Sub4 backup bass. Cheers Hamster

Stone cladding - a lot of people like it on their houses. It adds a touch of class and makes you think you live / play bass in the Cotswolds

[quote name='Steve_nottm' post='293212' date='Sep 27 2008, 12:30 AM']Agreed on the double bass funny how when he's soloing they cut away to shots of everyone else in the band other than him![/quote] I blame Bill Wyman - the industry has never recovered from his on-stage charisma. [u]ALL[/u] cameramen now avoid bass players like the plague.
