Cerements of the flayed - Cannibal Corpse A lovely ballad. One to sing to your lover in a romantic moment.

That was Homer Simpson (backing vocals by Bart) in one of the episodes where Lisa became a vegetarian.

I've got a vegan, imitation leather strap. It looks very close to real leather but not as real as the bacon sandwich that would be in my other hand. My wife makes vegan horse riding equipment. Very popular at the moment. Veganism is very fashionable.

Darker thoughts - Paradise Lost

I've not experienced over tones on either of my 5 strings (SUB Stingray and Sterling Stingray). The B string has a much darker, duller tone than the same notes on the E string but to be honest, I try to exploit that tonal difference.

So it's not just me then! The 5 definitely sounds fatter. I prefer it to the four. Could a better pickup add some fatness to the four?

50 million year trip - Kyuss

I've been wondering whether there's a natural tone difference between the same model bass as a 4 and 5 string version. I've got a Sterling Ray34 and Ray35 which have the same body and neck material, same tuners, same bridge and same nut. The pickups are supposed to be 4 & 5 string version of the same pickup. They both have the same Daddario XL strings. With the eq set flat, the five string sounds much fatter and just better. Is this down to the wider neck or some other difference due to the extra string?

Our friends electric - Gary Numan

I've got a pair of Sterling Ray's, a Ray34 and a Ray35. I've found that they sound quite a bit different. The 35 has a much bigger, more rounded tone while the 34 sounds a bit weak by comparison (eq flat on both). Would this be down to the more chunky 5 string neck or would it be down to differences in the pickups?

What he said 👆 The Sire V7 is seriously good for a very reasonable price.

It almost sounds like you want a completely different bass. Changing so much suggests you don't like much of what you've got.
