Sold a Hercules stand to Tom last saturday and met him in person. Top bloke to do business with - you have my word!

Thanks Tom. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing business with you I'm glad you're making good use of the stand!

Here's mine. Give us a 'like' on fb page if you're into it [url="http://youtu.be/dyBcfzESUCQ"]http://youtu.be/dyBcfzESUCQ[/url]

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1363427092' post='2012525'] I have schecter stiletto 5sring. Very metal.awesome bass [/quote] yeah, that's one in the top of my list, but 4 string version. which stiletto precisely? how does it play, etc? [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1363445490' post='2012833'] Then I'd say get the RockBass Corvette, and do indeed get the active version in your case. As said before: it's a beast - not too far removed from even the Bongo, the beasts' beast. At the price, even new, I feel it's a steal. The only drawback I can find is that the body wood is relatively soft and thus more easily dented than the expensive ones. It gave me a kick that straight out of the box it was almost perfectly tuned and well set up.. best, bert [/quote] that one's on the table as well, though i'm more inclined to get something cooler visually..

had a TBird before, though a normal one, the Pro looks sexy, but not really what i had in mind. the vampyre is a bit out of my budget i'm afraid the SG is not really an option I know there are always loads of options available on gt and ebay, hence this thread...i've always been a passive fender basses type of guy so i wanted to experiment with other stuff.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1363372026' post='2012056'] A Rockbass Corvette has so much bottom end you'll blow doors off. Although what you really want is a P bass, you know you do [/quote] it's on my list actually ...just parted with one. but fancy trying something different for now...the P can wait [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1363373097' post='2012085'] Is there a Yamaha BB with that spec in your price range? They're great things. [/quote] .i know the BB414 at least is not active i don't think. and are ugly as f**k imo...and huuuuuuge., but to the PJ thing pretty well.

Right, I fancy getting a (cheap) active bass. I usually play a Jazz, so I would like something quite different. I must admit I'm quite lost with so much stuff to choose from so any help much appreciated. [b]Style of playing:[/b] mostly fingerstyle but some songs with pick. No slap/pop stuff. [b]Genre:[/b] heavy rock/metal. [b]Budget:[/b] max £250 - second hand [b]Criteria:[/b] Active, 4 strings, must have a deep thunderous bottom end, and ideally have different/distinctive looks. [b]More visually appealing options:[/b] Schecter Stilleto (or another model? - the Chaos seems a bit 'too normal') Traben - some are a bit cheesy but some youtube clips sound good & looks different Kramer Disciple - specs look great on paper and looks cool Dean (Edge model, but which one?) [b]More visually boring options imo:[/b] Ibanez GSR200 (yes, really - at least the youtube clips sound pretty good!..though it might feel really cheap) or SR300 Yamaha RBX374 SBMM SUB Ray4 - not crazy about typical stingray tone tbh, but heard some good stuff lately played with a stingray, so might as well give it a chance. [b]Not very familiar with these, but seem to fit the criteria:[/b] ESP LTD (no idea which model!?) Cort (Artisan or Action?) Warwick Rockbass (Streamer or Corvette?)

I used to use the ER-20's but have now changed to these [url="http://www.proplugs.com/musicandnoise.shtml"]http://www.proplugs.com/musicandnoise.shtml[/url] The effect is similar, but the fit is MUCH better and the price is great.

[b]Thank you for your participation. You scored 28 out of 30 on the first test and 30 out of 30 on the second test.[/b] [b]really????? lol[/b]

...with a good price. Looking to record 4 or 5 tracks, as cheaply as possible but with some quality (budget can be discussed, depending on numerous factors). Ideally, mixing and mastering would be included in the price, but again, it's a matter of discussing prices. Experience of recording rock/metal/punk bands would be beneficial. Looking for a 'big' sound without breaking the bank...not an easy task I know. All suggestions welcome EDIT: budget around £800

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1338108718' post='1669577'] Try getting a POD, Sansamp or another kind of preamp. That could sort your problems out since generally if you're just DI'd, it's a bit of a boring tone. [/quote] this. how can you expect a jazz to sound the way you want just DI'd? Not gonna happen. I run mine through a Hartke VXL pedal pre-amp/DI and it sounds pretty good, it's not has thumphy as a P but certainly sounds good enough for rock. There is no comparison to the 'clean' sound of the J bass. Heavy gauge strings also help. I play 110 elites and they do help getting a thicker tone.

the bass seems pretty beaten up. i was looking to offer around maybe £150 tops? Is that about right?
