  1. I bet if you tune the string a semitone flat the dead spot moves up the board. Its the resonant frequency the wood cancels out. Give it a try.
  2. Failure to comply will result in a very nasty out come for the perp.
  3. Sorry you cant just post a link to eBay here. You must include a price for sale on here away from eBay and not invite people to bid. I have removed the link from your post.
  4. [quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1350306980' post='1837028'] Maybe so! However Happy Jack has kindly allowed me to invade his home and try his High end 5's tonight! R [/quote] You can lead a horse to water...
  5. I'm afraid I agree with a lot of people here. It doesn't matter if you find something that ticks every box you have, you'll doubtlessly tire of it eventually and sell it to get something else. If it helps - I went through a similar phase where whatever I had I wanted something else, I solved this by downgrading from an expensive custom bass (Overwater Progress III) and bought 2 cheaper, but more diverse basses (G&L L2000 & Peavey T-40). There is nothing that at least one of these cannot do. If I get bored of one I play the other for a while, when I go back to the first it's like a new bass again. I'm happier than I have been for years and have no desire for either of them to be replaced.
  6. Oh my god. I just did a little wee when I saw this...
  7. It took 8 years of playing till I tried one. Then it was through an Ampeg SVT with an 810. Craziness ensued.
  8. I've got the same turd coloured fur case too. It's seen better days but smells lovely (of the 1970s, not poo).
  9. I've had a Tanglewater Contemporary J5, it was good but I wouldn't think much of an improvement over a Yamaha TRB.
  10. It should be tuned E to E but factory default strings are too light and tuned to B. D'Addario do a specific set for Fender Bass VI which are perfect for E tuning (same octave as bass low E). My Dad put some on his and they're an immense improvement.
  11. My dad has one of these. They're quite fun but getting the right strings is crucial.
  12. If this was fretted I'd be all over it. P.S. what a great review.
  13. Your Musician looks like an MC900 rather than an MC924 (24 frets).
  14. Does your bass have any shortcomings ? If not, upgrading is likely an expensive and fruitless task.
  15. I really want one. Have played both this and a genuine 4003 and wouldn't pay the extra £1000.
  16. [quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1349246832' post='1823701'] I think generally Fender have picked up their game with USA axes. [/quote] Don't worry - their prices have risen a lot too.
  17. Yamaha RBX775 owned since 2003. Defretted and refinished but never leaving. The L2000 and T40 are also making solid cases for permanent residence.
  18. I'd put an RBX180 (2 pickups) in against the GSR200. Both decent basses but i'd opt for the Yamaha as I know from experience they're cheap but not poorly made.
  19. If its a good MIM the upgrade cost won't make it worth it in my opinion.
  20. Good move. Please post pics when it comes .
