The neck thru SRX700 (and 5 string version:- SRX705) are brilliant rock basses... The pickups are characterful, powerful, good EQ; the basses are beautifully built too. The only weak spot is the tuners. Like the man said, look out on eBay for a s/h one, around £200 - £250. So, back to the question... IMHO the pickups are good ;-)

All round good guy, excellent to deal with, recommended ;-)

[quote name='metaltime' post='171927' date='Apr 7 2008, 11:29 PM']+1 i dont think you can do any harm[/quote] My first (pessimistic) thought:- The more you screw in and out of wood, the more likely it is that you strip the threads. I'd be inclined to leave well alone unless it's for a good reason. I had to have a '78 Precision repaired 'cos 2 of the 4 neck screws were stripped...

+1 to the Ashdown ABM Combo... Get a 2 x 10 Combo, add a 1 x 15 cab later and you have 575w of lovely tone. Or of course you could do it another way, get a 1 x 15 combo and save up for a 4 x 10 cab for later. Or whatever... (Awaits anti Ashdown flames )

I reckon that any Mr Sheen type polish would be fine. Most maple boards are laquered, and it's these I mean. Obviously don't use polish on the MM type oiled finish. Any laquered wood 'board is just the same as the body?

What, me jealous? [b]Yes!!![/b]

Last [i][u]Bump[/u][/i]... wish me luck

[quote name='Davetbass' post='174748' date='Apr 11 2008, 05:52 PM']Only joking Dave [/quote] That's ok... I took it that way

[quote name='bassmansky' post='174743' date='Apr 11 2008, 05:44 PM']rather have english one than a made in prc one.you will still have ashdowns warranty which by all accounts is superb.[/quote] +1 to that. However... If it's been the shop demo I'd be pissed off. If it's been in its box in the shop I'd be delighted. You did good to get a UK made one, most importantly!

a drop of 3 in 1 oil is what I use sometimes.

[quote name='barneythedog' post='170888' date='Apr 6 2008, 07:37 PM']I was about to say that. I want my ATK back [/quote] It's lovely, I'm sure it'd be happy to see you again!

[quote name='Davetbass' post='172681' date='Apr 8 2008, 10:38 PM']How does the Hohner play? I`ve fancied one of these for while as I used a 4 string one with a thrash band a while back (much to everyones amusement!) It sounded great and played well...[/quote] It plays pretty well, but it's the middly, woody tone that really cuts through the mix that makes it so nice...

[quote name='paul, the' post='174701' date='Apr 11 2008, 05:09 PM']That Takamine is pulling on my heart strings. Wish I could have a play. Best of luck with the sale.[/quote] Thanks for that, it's a very nice bass!

[quote name='Davetbass' post='174259' date='Apr 10 2008, 11:56 PM']Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post........ Stick yer hohner up yer arse [/quote] Oh dear, Oh dear... Had a bad day? I've hardly been on BC this week... Should be back home now though.
