mrcrow Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 i am bidding on this..any comments from the knowledgeable they do seem to have soapbars now [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160350609251&ssPageName=ADME:B:BCA:GB:1123"]link to ebay[/url] Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 With reference to the soapbars, are you sure you're not confusing the srx500 with the [i]SR500[/i] Either model is plenty good enough, though the SR is arguably the better all-rounder than the srx. Quote
JimBobTTD Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I have one. It's a great bass with a great feel. Be advised that the pickups are not standard size and are very hot. Great for metal and hard rock, a bit overly untamed for other styles of music. I am selling mine, though, as I have gone over to five strings. If you think you'll like it, I'm sure you'll really enjoy the bass. I loved mine and am a bit sad with it being up for grabs, but that's the way it goes! Quote
Kongo Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 SR, like the BTB series is a flat sounding bass that changes through the pre-amp into whatever you want. SRX is an ultra hot output, punchy sounding bass, but I know one bassist who uses on in Jazz very well. Personally I'd take the SRX because it has a punchier tone rather than a flatter one (and I own a few Ibanez basses to have tried this) but they don't have a prestige model...that's the only downfall. SRX are even through neck now. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 They always [i]did[/i] do one... My SRX700; Quote
GreeneKing Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 And there was me thinking that the SRX500 was a Yamaha. Quote

GreeneKing Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I have LP's of riders like that circulating the IoM in the 50's and 60's. I started riding to Brands and Snetterton when Sheene, Smart, Haslam (The older brother who was killed) and Dave Croxford were riding. One of my favourite riders of that time was Peter Williams. I think I saw Minter and Ivy ride but I'm not certain. Was Minter the King of Brands? The Transatlantic Trophy races were fun too with Read, DuHamel, Roberts et al Good times. Mind Rossi is immense nowadays. I remember the Saarinen incident well too, a sad day. Are we a little of track with this? Quote
