I'm desperately trying to hang on til pay day at the end of the month - getting it now would be irresponsible... ... I can see me buying this within the week. Quote
Stan_da_man Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 You could just buy an Ibanez and have a better bass without the nice inlays. Quote

Eight Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Ah cool. You're going to tell me its not a very good bass? In fact, if you can tell me that it makes trumpet noises when plugged in then that will really help me out. You know, I'm not a superficial person; and I've been taking my time to find the right bass to upgrade to.... ...but yeah, I am pretty f**king excited about those bats. Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 If you're "pretty excited about those bats" as you say, I'd say it's the perfect bass for you - Buy it with all speed Rich. Quote
richiewaz Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Did you buy it and is it any good as I'm in the same position you were It Looks Fantastic. If Its any good I'm off to Newcastle to buy one tomorrow Quote

Including Soundslive who despite advertising it on their site, actually had none; and didn't know if they could get any as there are problems with Schecter's UK distributor - think its gone into administration. Long story - I think I created another thread about the woes. I'm glad in a way, with a current price of £420, by all accounts you can get a lot better basses for the same cash. Before the exchange rate went crazy, you'd have been paying £250 max for this same bass. It sells pretty cheap in the states. I might try and get one in the future, but not for that kind of money.

richiewaz Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Back to the Drawing Board then!!! Any suggestions of a Bass about £400 then thats worth the money and not fender, I have a squire fender P and use it to practice on as i find when i go onto my Yamaha RBX170 everything is so much easier after getting it on the Squire (neck feel's like a plank) I Love the look of the Ibanez AGB200 Semi but am worried about feedback and low end fluffyness , Also the BC Rich stuff but will look a real Nugget playing Police and Stereophonics tracks with a Warlock!!!!! Open to Ideas Quote

Open to Ideas[/quote] If you want a bass (non-Fender) with a slim neck look at some of the Ibanez SR Soundgear basses, they have pretty slim necks and are excellent value for money especially used top of the range models.

[/quote] Absolutley with WH on this one.... Very good instruments for what they cost, that punch well above their weight. Quote
richiewaz Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Dolphin in the metro have an SR500 in stock so will try and get up there later for a go. They want £440 so will see if its worth it Also worried that my wireless AKG bug may no fit the recessed jack but will stick in in my pocket. Quote
GreeneKing Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 [quote]but will stick in in my pocket.[/quote] I don't think it'll work that way, it needs to be plugged into the bass methinks. Quote

leschirons Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Don't buy it. They're absolute sh*te. I don't really know that, I'm just trying to help. Quote
budget bassist Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 like warwickhunt says, try and find a used high end ibanez soundgear. There was a neck thru ibby SR900 doing the rounds here for £300 i think it was, i really wish it was closer so i could have had a go but it looked gorgeous, and a bargain too. If anybody fancies selling that again give me a heads up! Quote
