Please do, a full history would be great too as I find the T-40 forums a bit of a mess.

I remember Sound Control Salford having about 30+ Warwicks in stock around 2005.

My Overwater Contemporary J5 was heavier than my T-40 and is about the same as the MIM Jazz I had.

[quote name='bassman344' timestamp='1345371289' post='1776662'] John Myung apparently has it all in techniques from what I read about him, but he doesn't exclusively slap does he ? I dont know much dream theatre stuff. The guitar being where the bass is, is a good explanation for not hearing I suppose. But guitar ego is overriding all sense. [/quote] Myung is awesome, very modest and happy to be standing at the back out of the spotlight. He can easily shred along with Petrucci and match his solo lines.

Its just progress. Crazy kids eh ?

Thanks for the suggestion Paul S. It should be common sense for a seller to check the wanted section to try and make an easy sale but it's not something we'd really look to force upon people.

I really fancy a T-60 to go with my T-40 ! What's the going rate FlatEric ?

Opeth \m/ Saw them in 2002/3ish and they were epic. Got every album and still listen to them most days. Alas I'm lazy and if its not in Brum I won't go .

My rings are intact.

I had a 2005 55-02 which was fantastic but looked a bit dull. Not played any recent ones though. Edit: the previous owner of my 5502 was Rasta

Mine isn't going anywhere, can't think of anything that could replace it.

Saw one of them close up, they look awful. Not played it but surely it's just an exercise to sell to people desperate to have a Gibson but can't afford £800+ ?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1344703648' post='1768188'] It really isn't that much fun being a mod anyway. [/quote] This - have been doing it since 2006 (since Bassworld) and the 'fun' isn't that frequent, but in general I know things I do both publicly and behind the scenes keep the site running as well as possible and I may have helped people use the forum/resolve disputes with others etc, that is pretty much the only reward, which for me is good enough.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1344700937' post='1768158'] Agreed but I think there are many members who have contributed much more than some of the new mods and I for one feel a little overlooked. [/quote] Postcount is only one factor but not really indicative of any suitability really is it ? Previous behaviour and general attitude is also taken into account as well. On this occasion I was not involved with any suggestions as who to recruit, any suggestions of a democratic process I find a little pointless as it's 'us' that run the site, we need to ensure we decide who is appointed a moderator and be sure they are suitable and unlikely to let the elevated permissions go to their head (and ensuring we get on with them is of course helpful). Some people have in the past been overlooked for this alone. On a more positive note, I can't wait to get GuitarChat up and running .

D'Addario for me. Very wide choice of strings and reasonably priced online, also those coloured ballends (*teehee*) look fantastic ! I've got Chromes on 2 basses, XLs on the L-2000 and the T-40 will get some too, thankfully I know they'll fit as I can order extra long for the throughbody - not many brands have so much choice.

G&L are very overlooked by most players. They top Fender on design as after all, they're the evolution of Leo's original designs. I think cosmetics may let them down though, the Tribute JB2 looks very plain and dull but would easily out class MIM and even some MIA Jazzes. If you like the SB2 and aren't bothered about its understated looks then get it, it will be a great addition and will also give you a little individuality from all the Fender fans.

I'm surprised it's not a 34" scale but for this kind of thing I don't think it'd cause an issue tonally. I think longer scales are more important when seeking out a more refined 'clear' tone, that isn't what these are for. EDIT: Damn curiosity, I want one of these now: [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0327602506"]http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0327602506[/url]

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1343836085' post='1756058'] Yeah, I guess. I find it frustrating being an endorsee and hearing things like "don't listen to Thom, he's endorsed so he has to say that." I think so many people just see it as the artist getting free stuff and a brown nose and nothing else. Maybe someone has an endorrsement contract they can share? I'm sure it'd be interesting to some people. Mine has a confidentiality clause in it and the endorsement I turned down never got as far as a contract. [/quote] Don't listen to this guy he's paid to say this !!!!!!!!!!

Yamaha RBX775 defretted refin.

True, I guess I find a lot of advertising to be generally offensive to my intelligence.

I personally find endorsements to be a little odious. Things are much worse in the guitar world though, where certain famous guitarists seem to have a signature everything with their logo on just to make a few bucks (Slash, i'm looking at you !). I'm sure they don't use much of this stuff and have just agreed for their name to go on it as they know it's a good revenue stream. Even though i'm no pro, I'd be reluctant to be limited to a certain brand as I think it'd limit my creativity soundwise, but I get the feeling a lot of endorsees aren't that bothered.
