But I have a MIM Jazz bass, It is a very nice bass with a lovely polite harmonic tone, even when played acoustically. It can also do clank on demand. But I want the distinctive stingray tone, How do I go about this? Will an ATK300 fit the bill? How about a Sterling sub? Would either of these fit the bill? My next move would probably have to be a trade, because I have no spare cash at the moment. But before I put my beloved Jazz up for trade, what could I realistlcally hope to achieve bass wise in my pursuit of stingrayness. Would an ATK300 / 400 or a SUB be a fair trade for a MIM Jazz bass? Or would I be wasting my time? It is not my intention to get a trade on the strength of this post, but I am after an assessment of whether I am on the right track or not? Alternatively, Are there any jazz bass pick ups which would approximate a Stingray? All advice gratefully recieved.

I love shpongle, I speak Shponglese. Is Raj really getting younger? Must be all the chemical additives.. Its all an ineffable mystery....

Yup. I Never bid whole numbers, even numbers or anything ending in a 5.

Thats an ace bass! I want one.

I have an EB0, Bought new from online shop last week for £129. It is a very nice instrument for the price. It took a while to set it up correctly, fresh from the box the intonation was well out. Everything is good,The body is one piece mahogany and the hardware is good quality too. It is great fun to play, very fluid and fast, and the pickup sounds nice when overdriving the amp. I would definately gig with it. Mine is "Hand crafted in China" and to be honest the first one had to go back to the shop, it had an imperfect neck pocket, some of the wood was missing where a hamfisted employee forced the neck and body together. I dont expect luthier quality on a £120 bass and I can live with some imperfections at that price , but I could not live with the imperfection on the neck joint. The Second one is fine though. It is the sonic opposite to my Jazz bass. It is a little boomy, but nothing which can,t be EQed out. I love the shape of the body and head, It is head heavy, but not massively so. IT IS £129 BRAND NEW. It is difficult to see how they make a profit, the price of the parts would fetch more than that on the Bay. I am well happy with mine, I am considering buying a black one next.

I like that triple bass stand..

I have 2x15... [URL=http://s200.photobucket.com/user/Dandelion_06/media/20121028_003245-1-1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa90/Dandelion_06/20121028_003245-1-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

HiYa!

That is alot of amp for the cash.

That would be ideal for me, alas I am t0o old. Next time I wear corpsepaint it will be for real. Surprise he didn't mention Fields of the Nephilim, or Early Sisters of Mercy, as both bands have amazing bassists.

It's one of those cheeky base guitars. Does it have a high mase bridge? For £299 I think I will pase on this one.

I hate wasps!

Nice thread, Count me in for the group hug.

When you collected it was the seller a little bit upset with himself?

Well bloody done!

Looks like it has been painted with creosote.

MMmmmm. Battered sausage.
