6v6 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1353975086' post='1880516'] This bass is starting to sound better and better! I quite like the look of it, which isn't surprising since I own a thunderbird But what do you think about the slap tones? As Lawrence has said his sounded pretty dark how about you? [/quote] TBH I don't really do slap bass at all - I'm pretty much a 100% fingerstyle blues/rock type player, hence for 99% of the time it stays on the neck pickup, where it does a fairly reasonable impression of a P-bass to my ears. On the bridge pickup with a bit of mid-treble boost it certainly isn't dark at all, but the way I generally set up the controls it does sound pretty dark, which is the way I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prunesquallor Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1353953967' post='1880227']I did recently try out a Stringray and it was lush but i can't afford it unfortunately and i'd heard that the Ibanez basses are good.[/quote] [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1353979789' post='1880546']I did recently play a Ernie Ball Stringray with a 3 Band EQ and it was so nice. it was the reason I started to look into getting an active bass.[/quote] Maybe you should think about one of [url="http://www.sterlingbymusicman.com/sub-bass"]these[/url]... Probably cheaper than a SR500 as well. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
