[quote name='Chris Horton' post='1110957' date='Feb 1 2011, 01:36 PM']I have uummmmed & rrrrrrrrrrddd about selling my stingray 5 sevral times and now realised how much I love the SR 5 bass. So much so that i would love to get another SR5 in white with matching headstock Trapped GAS is a terrible thing [/quote]ive come and ive gone..i will always be a Jazz man..but the tone and feel of a Stingray 5 just gets me..its the quality, tone, weight, narrow neck... Randy 'Hope' Taylor plays one on a certain album and it sounds so good.. although not a truely versatile bass, it covers lots...

But we all have our reasons.[/quote]HAAAAAAAAA!.. ive got my SR5 back... ...get it back next week from a lovely chap... cant wait to put it through the Aguilar again.. you can tell i loved this bass.. i wanted this bass back more than any other ive owned...its funny how basses go and come around again..

I used to have my strap very high. i used to wear the bass just under my chest..to be honest its because i thought it looked cool..as im getting older its getting lower, im only talking inches mind.. the most comfortable position for me is with the upper bout (inner arm down from the elbow) on the bottom of my rib cage.....(and its comfortable). some say way down low looks cool, but i cant work out how that is efficient for playing.. but i guess i used to do it... just higher up...fashion is a cripling thing.. im sure its gonna get lower.. i tried an old Sadowsky strap ive got, thats very high, and i hated it... way too high.. feels like im trying to get something out of an L shaped box with my plucking hand.. my old Brooklyn Gear strap is spot on... Whats your pref?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1112862' date='Feb 2 2011, 07:21 PM']Pretty tricky to keep playing 1/16ths whilst reaching over to tune... and not dropping a beat! It could be done if his right hand continued to hammer the notes but that doesn't look/sound to be the case. Saying that, there's nowt worse than thinking you are out of tune with the rest of the band and you are mid song.[/quote]ahh.. couldnt watch the vid..bad internet.. maybe he has OCD? i had it for years when i was younger...

it happens to everyone, doesnt matter if hes a pro.. he may be hearing something thats not to his liking..Ive seen Victor Wooten do it mid song.. maybe he was having tuning gear issues? it happens..

I saw Julian Crampton playing an MIJ Jazz at the jazz cafe..he has played with some greats.. he let me play it in the dressing room backstage too. the guitarist who was incredible was playing a Squire strat... its all in our minds..

[quote name='silddx' post='1112535' date='Feb 2 2011, 03:24 PM']Wow! Great idea. Unfortunately it's as ugly as the bass player with the BB on the last photo I was really hoping to find a good quality old style or tweed type case, but not the Fender one, my mate's got one and it's falling apart, they're £160 odd too [/quote] Most of those old style cases weigh a tone.. cant think of a maker who makes em like the Fender ones...i sh*t you not the case weighed as much as the bass..

[quote name='NJE' post='1112550' date='Feb 2 2011, 03:34 PM']Sent an email to Tanglewood and got a very nice and extremely quick reply from their customer services team (nice one Tanglewood). Apparently the basses ship to shops the week beginning 21st Feb and one of the signed up dealers to receive a first lot is about a 10 minute walk from me in Cheltenham....OH YES!!!![/quote] Is that RoundAboutSound NJE?

no celebrity death match silly!

Would be good to hear Mark King on Fleas Stingray, and Flea on MK's (whats he playing these days) Jaydee again?..saying that whats Flea seen most with..Modulus....?

These are good cases..Judge Dredds got one.. [url="http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=13&o=&offset=1&c=84&s=75#"]http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/pro...;c=84&s=75#[/url]

AAAGH.... nooooooooo....its morphed into its own thread...!!!??? what mod would do such a thing? or maybe the thread wants to live, and resurrected itself... it feeds off of the negative bickering..like the slime in ghostbusters?

Thanks guys..you have been a great help...

yeah but whats the best metal for bass..?

quote>>Him and Flea being equally the best 2 bass players in the world is something we all appear to agree on! Uhh.. not the worms... that was a Q yes?..
