  3. Love Kings-X and nice to hear an 8 string played on a normal song without the widdling and the 'ooh I sound like a sitar' rubbish .... now if that doesn't make you MUST have an 8 string nowt will !

  4. You can get a Dean quite easily for reasonable money, I have played the Rhapsody in 8 and 12 string and loved both to play. I used to play a Shergold Marathon 8 string and it sounded amazing .... GET AN 8 OR 12 STRING ... JUST DO IT

  5. I currently play a Gibson Thunderbird in a classic rock covers band and it sound superb. I have tried using my Fender P-Bass and it does not even come close to getting a punchy gritty growl .... when you try one you will be surprised how light they are too, neck not too chunky and the neck dive or lack of really is not and issue .... I also had a Ric for a couple of years, not as comfortable and wide neck might be an issue for some, harder work to get a great sound but one you have it dialed they are spot on. Used T-Birds are reasonable cheap-ish too, Ric's not so ! ....................... Unleash your inner rock god with a 'Bird :-)

  6. I own a Electra VS4 and have no fit or finish issues at all and I have been over the whole bass very carefully ! The neck pocket is as tight as a chuffing tight thing (that's tight!) all the parts do what they should AND most importantly it plays very very nicely with a jazz like neck and sounds punchy and clear with the active electrics sounding natural and not clinical like some do. I suggest you try before you buy and make your own mind up, after all manufacturers have the odd off day especially the 'big 'F' boys' ! Excellent value for money when compared to any MIM bass .... and I've tried them all !

  7. I've been using the slightly older NeoX212t for two or three years now and love it and I paid £450 used for mine !!!! What I'm looking forward too is when these cabs all flood into the used market place and you kind people let them go for shall we say .... errrrrr £200 yeah that will do : )

  8. I totally agree about the lack of colours, even if they offered a Black I think that would make all the difference ! (I know I would have had a black one with either tort or black scratchplate) Understand the lack of maple neck option, they are trying to keep costs down and guess that wouldn't help

  9. The 'new' Electra range has been more readily available for a while now,
    who has tried one or taken the jump and actually bought one ?

    I've had my VS4 for about 2 months now and loving everything about it ! Finish, fit, feel
    are superb and the tone is spot on clear, punchy and not too clinical either

    Just wondering what everyone else thought who had tried or actually bought one?

    .............. If you've not tried one then just do it !

  10. Well I have the VS4 (P-Bass version) and I have to say it knocks the bits off a lot of other basses of similar price
    Yes the parts are sourced from the far east to Sandbergs spec, but they are very VERY good indeed

    The parts are shipped back to Germany where the necks are Plek's and then assembled by some of the same guys
    who put together the high end basses.

    The fit and finish is superb, the neck pocket is as tight as i've seen, frets and edges are smooth and it sounds spot on.
    with the option to run it active or passive, with the bass and treble set flat there is virtually no difference which is also great.

    Gigged it a few times now and it stays in tune and sound very punchy and tight .... just waiting for the new strings to die off a bit.

    Guitar Guitar and PMT as well as other are all starting to stock these and the VS4 (P) is about £499 and the TT4 (J) £569 ish
    well worth a try, but even if you bought blind YOU WOULD NOT BE DISSAPOINTED !

    Have a look at my review of the VS4 over here .....
