[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1339211492' post='1685449'] Heard both, never played them... I'd love to get my hands on a T-40 though! [/quote] Like hens teeth?

I think as much as anything and not to side on some of these often smug c*nts but . . . . Jobs? The thing about stores I don't like, especially Dawson's Music, is that they bump the prices up so much, it's hardly worth purchasing anything and I think even setups are to a poor standard for what I've paid and what I've experienced. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1339187030' post='1685223'] Plus, if you buy it instore, then get home and realise you aren't happy, you don't have the returns policy (and if you do, its never as strong). [/quote] I know it goes off subject a bit but I found out after taking up a mobile contract at CRAPhone Warehouse and having loads of problems (5 replacements in 4 months all in all) I only have 28 days of returns ect ect where as if I purchased a mobile and "plan" I'd have 6 months of returns or practical insurance, at the end of the first 5 months if I didn't like the phone I could get refunded?!?!?! Suppose what im saying . . . You would think either way, online or in store, being a customer should give you all rights. Pardon me, ramble over ^_^

I have guitar pro for tabs on the move Pretty good app if I say so myself. BSB

[quote name='acronym' timestamp='1338383968' post='1673625'] Cool absolute music is like a hour away from me, stringing doesn't seem that much different that the guitar:). You guys had me worried it was something more difficult than that, though I haven't strung a guitar for over 5 years. [/quote] Easier if anything Welcome to the bass world and most importantly Bass Chat Word of advice, keep away from the marketplace, you'll get a bad addiction XD BSB

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1339200731' post='1685407'] Who's Ken? Does he like Peavey basses too? I do, I own three basses and they're all Peaveys! EDIT: Not Ken Smith I take it [/quote] Ever tried a zodiac dude or a T40? Both are perhaps the only Peavey's I'd own

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1339187200' post='1685226'] Three very different instruments there, do you know what you're actually looking for from this bass? [/quote] +1 MM over Fender anyday but also stingray over reflex, IMHO. Never tried a Big Al but they seem pretty sweeeeet ^_^ BSB

Looking pretty damn good, hope they sound better

Sounds a bit unprofessional from Gibson regarding the finish, I have to say that they are known for their chunky necks which I like due to having big hands . The SG basses are nice, I like making them growl but with being short scale and on a person like me, they look out of place unlike on a Hobbit as Jack Bruce Cheers for your review bud

[quote name='Warwick_Official' timestamp='1339096828' post='1683679'] RockBass' are usually available for under US$1k. Is it possible you're confusing the Pro-Series and Artist-Series basses made in Korea? I'd like to know about a dealer selling a RockBass for a few grand...thanks! [/quote] You are correct Garey, second look and it's the Pro Series I was looking at, what guidelines do the Koreans follow if you don't mind me asking? I know it won't be like a Chinese sweat shop but just wondering Sorry for the I correction

Agreed the pickups don't line up but considering the sound on the video, it doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference or should it? I think a 5 string version could be cool but a bit too rich in taste for Classic Gibson, considering they bought Tobias who make pretty nice 5'ers. Gust0o, nice G3 dude!

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1339065165' post='1683040'] Ha, that does sound good. Very lovely basses, these Gibsons - still very much enamoured with my Grabber, but it sounds a lot more 'clanky' than the RD. [/quote] Which grabber have you got Gust?

Ive seen the Session.de youtube video and although a shadow of the instruments past, I have to admit I really like it and for little more than a MIM jazz I think it's pretty damn sweet. I think it will be one I will get as it suits my sound and it will go nicely in between my LP an Tbird . I know guitars wielding names tend to only sell due to that factor: I love James Hetfield but bigger will I buy either of those FUGLY beasts. And the name on this headstock is bloody ugly too not all that far from the LP sig but i think this is one instrument would sell with or without it anyway. I think if I where to pay the origional RRP I'd give it a miss and save up and get the origional RD from eBay but even then, is that price worth it for an orgional or has anyone found them cheaper? BSB

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1339052440' post='1682811'] you'll be able to get decent secondhand for reasonable price, not as low as a year or so ago but still pretty good. What model you after? [/quote] Ideally a Streamer but I'm quite picky LOL Saw a beautiful Red Covette $$ 5 but I haven't got the money and the bloody thing sold BSB
