    No we don't agree. I never said Metal is noise. I don't think it's appropriate to blare out any loud music in a guitar store where gear is tried out by potential customers. Metal is not my aesthetic choice but it's still music played by often very talented individuals.

    Not getting something doesn't automatically qualify it as nonsense in my opinion.
  3. Terry M.
    Maybe not just to fans of jazz. Guitar Guitar in Camden sometimes blare out metal in the store and erm...I'll leave it there 😂

    No punk expert here but wasn't it rebelling against certain kinds of establishment "nonsense",like jazz did/does in certain strains.
  5. Terry M.
    Ok I'll bite. You not liking jazz music makes it nonsense? 😂

    I have to say I was browsing in Anderton's last week and tried a 5 string Dingwall Combustion Nashville Edition. Call me mad but I totally fell for the banjo sized frets it had. My hands just glided over the fretboard with barely any effort. Playability for days...

    I've been to gigs and seen bassists switch between 4 and 5 string mid-set and based on the end result never know why they bother. But maybe that's for another discussion ☺️ I play across the fretboard as I exclusively play 5s so therefore I play the G all the time.

    Yes I understand WHY mods exist but having owned SR5s in the past it's never occurred to me on any them to change out the neck. I ask to understand WHAT the "improvements" if any are. Your response to @roger highlights and answers my question. Can I ask why then you still prefer wooden necks? I learn a lot from this forum being far from an expert 👍If I have any "issues" with SR5s it's the narrow (to me) string spacing,the necks always felt great.

    I've watched about 3 videos including this one. They sound REALLY good 👍

    These look amazing to me. The fact that I'm a fan of 47mm nut width and 19mm bridge spacing means I'll stick with my current Jazz 5 string (for now)

    This would do well in the Bass Picture Funnys thread 😂
  12. Terry M.
    Do you have any specifics by any chance? Tried Google but nothing so far...
  13. Terry M.
    Thanks for the response. I'll go online and see if I can dig anything out. My fretting hand is fussy with regards to radii,prefers flat or close to it.
  14. Terry M.
    Please forgive my ignorance but I know nothing about Status necks. Do you happen to know the fretboard radius measurement on them? What's the story with sticking them on Stingrays,I've seen it before and genuinely curious 🙂
  15. Terry M.
    I would say it's not priced too cheaply for a US model. It's in the correct ballpark based on other examples I've seen.
  16. Terry M.
    Interestingly I was browsing in Anderton's just today and tried a few basses. Long story short I couldn't wait to get back home to play the gear I already own. Basically I agree with you 👍
  17. Terry M.
    Oh really? I had no idea. That's a shame...😪

    I sent you a link to a Japanese Fender currently in stock at Guitar Guitar to give an indication of price compared to a US made example.

    Hmm not sure the Chelsea clientele would agree...
  21. Terry M.
    Incredible isn't it? Imagine paying more for a brand new vehicle that's been dented and scuffed from the factory (for example) 😊
  22. Terry M.
    EBMM producing a wider necked Stingray 5 complete with 19mm bridge string spacing. Oh and theres not enough maple fretboard on natural bodied basses (black pickguard optional) to my liking.
  23. Terry M.
    This is such an amazing colour. Shame it's not a 5 string. When you say you "needed a 4 string" for a specific gig was it a visual thing and/or part of a tribute act? Just curious 😊
  24. Terry M.
    It's @bassjim that needs convincing 🙂
  25. Terry M.
    Put your offer back in my friend. As @Freddi375 has stated this is all the way American. I've had one.
