    new or 2nd hand?

    [quote name='Jobiebass' post='528023' date='Jun 29 2009, 07:28 PM']well the better one would be the new one. they are identical basses, just one is new. hummm[/quote]


    One might just naturally sound better, have better construction, nicer sounding pickups. Although seeing as they are MIJ quality is likely to be pretty consistent there may be some variation.

    Id be interested in buying one just to prat about on it for a few months and selling it on hopefully not loosing too much money.

    Or does someone fancy lending me a 7 string? :) Finbar?[/quote]

    I'd actually be interested in that, really rather skint at the moment though

    That particular 7 stringer does look great though, looks like an expensive custom job even down to the fancy headstock. One worry i'd have is that they will most likely be using stock photos so the bass you get might not be so well turned out.

    It does look like an absolute steal though, someone less poor than me should bag one!


    EDIT: Another thing that i noticed is that one or two of the individual bridge saddles look out of line, although this might just be the angle the bass was photographed at

    With such a small difference in price just buy the best one, if one is £100 more but a better bass then that's the one i'd go for. Similarly if the 2nd hand one has a few knocks but is nicer then i'd get that one!

    Well actually i'd buy that cheap Thumb on here but meh

    I like the Hartke A series, i've got the A70 (70w, 1x12" alu speaker) and it is plenty for practice and quiet gigs. Quite compact and light without being too small, also tilts back

    EDIT: These can be had for under £100 as they were only £250 or so new. I've put a low B through the A70 and it sounded great too

    EHX Small Clone. Can be found for about £30 2nd hand. Needs an adapter lead though as some have the older jack style. Nano versions don't AFAIK

    Bigging up Soundslive

    Just thought i'd take a minute to recommend Soundslive.

    Recently bought a Stagg EUB from them which had faults, so back it went. Got a replacement just over a week later (i believe they had to ship this from somewhere else and run it through their QC as they had no stock)

    Have to say they were excellent throughout, nice to speak to staff who are pleasant and know what they're on about for a change

    So, cheers to Soundslive! :)

    Ebonol fingerboards ?

    I have an ebanol/ebonol (both spellings seem to be used!) board on my fretless and it sounds very natural. As said rounds churned it up a bit but it's a lot more hard-wearing than rosewood, even though i preferred the latter as a playing surface

    I'd say go for it, it's the best cheap alternative and looks good too
