    The MM copies aren't that great. Ok as a starter bass but there are much much better to be honest. I'd be looking at trying to pick up a 2nd hand OLP if I were you.

    Because the strings slowly decay over weeks/months it's hard to notice why you're starting to feel dissatisfied with your basses tone, even if you remember it being the holy grail a few months ago. The only exception to this is my Jazz, that I can put brand new strings on and it still sounds the same !

    Ibanez basses

    I think it'd suit metal very well. Shavo Odajian from SOAD had one for a bit didn't he ?

    US Jazzes have seen a price increase recently, but it looks like not as much as I thought ! They seem to be £869 on GAK and Stingrays are £999 (2EQ). SO not a fat lot in it, but it's enough to expect a little extra on top or some sweeteners.

    I think stick with the roundwounds if that gets you your sound, but some marine expoy would be good. I'm currently stripping and refinishing my Yamaha RBX and am going to do this on it. Bought some yacht varnish from Wilkinsons for £3.49 - should do the job.

    My Q6 Pro was pretty good. Got it from SoundControl in Salford for £330. The EMG pickups & preamp were super clean and it had a really 'hifi' sound. Unfortunately I sold it due to the fact I couldn't get on with the high C, only lost £30 after having it 9 months though ! Here it is..

    Hmm value wise i'd say a US standard is a fair swap. They're both roughly £1000 new - even if the Stingray does have a bit of an edge in quality.

    It is indeed the Basic Ken Taylor. [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/basic-series-top/basic-kt"]http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-ove...es-top/basic-kt[/url]

    Don't see many Katanas about ! Looks nice - good luck with the sale.

    Of the probably dozens and dozens of basses i've played in the last few years in shops and at shows, i've never seen a Rick. I think their exclusivity and lack of supply is sad, but if it works for their business model then that is their prerogative. Definitely want to try one - even if I don't like it.

    Hmmm. If you're happy with the Spector then why be influenced by others ? The only Jazz i've found I really liked for that style was the Miller Jazz, all others seemed like a weaker version of it (i'm hoping to find one I like !). My Mexican Jazz sounds pretty crap when slapped, but finger style it's absolutely fantastic.

    Don't expect a Rockbass to sound much like a German Warwick. They're made of a different body, neck and fingerboard wood where a lot of the Warwick sound comes from. That said - they are good basses .

    Great bass there Sean, what are the differences between these and the SRX705 ?
  15. Machines
    Why does he need 3 ?!

    Have played a few and found them to be quite well balanced - I wouldn't get one myself but don't have a problem with them.

    These are really really good basses - someone with an SR4 could get a good swap here .

    Yep I know how you feel. To be fair i've got a cheapo Hohner Precision-a-like but I want the proper Fender shape and to be able to have interchangeable pickguards etc..

    Real bassists play with their ears, everyone knows that.

    Another thumbs up for the $$ from me, although I do quite like the sound of it using the humbuckers as single coils (although the spacing is different to a standard Corvette).
  23. Machines
    The Ibanez would do you nicely, they sound pretty good too ! I'd say they sound pretty growly, they're not unlike Warwicks in some aspects.
