  1. I very recently bought this bass, but due to other money commitments (van insurance etc), I'm being forced to sell it on.

    It's a great bass, especially for those who are interested in the idea of five strings, or who are looking for a new budget bass/back-up. It was a very nice clean, bright sound.

    It's recently had a set-up, and a new set of D'addarrio's put on it.

    I'm looking for about 120-150!

  2. I bet alot of people rely on this to make them sound good, I for one as an example many years ago, it had to be 11 gain scooped mid before i thought could have fun playing, now i look back and thing wtf was i doing

    That never came about from playing acoustic though, more just your ear and musical knowledge maturing?

    There are a lot of people who play with that exact scooped sound. And it's down to not practising enough in general, and presuming they sound good and not asking for feedback or any insight onto how to improve overall. In my opinion.

  3. I'd still maintain that after 500 what your getting in return for every quid you spend decreases.

    When you start paying big bucks, you end up paying the costs of excellent wood quality which in turn gives you better resonance and a much finer feel to the guitar, and top grade hardware such as EMG pick-ups, better built-in EQ and whatnot.

    So, you are paying for best of the best, unfortunatly, only a small fraction of people who are lucky enough to own a range of fine guitars know exactly what the fine difference in quality is.

    I play musicman basses, and despite paying a lot for my stingray, I'm confident no cheap copy can ever match it's trademark sound that I bought it for.

  4. No i don't, unless you mean we are all shite guitarist that doesnt warrant recognition.

    I meant Saikano directly who play technical metal.

    because it requires you to play with more accuracy that relying on an amp to cover your sloppyness (when practising)

    Surely you would notice the mistakes whilst playing just by looking at your fingerwork/strumming and wouldn't need an amp to tell you you're playing wrong?

    And if you dismissing mistakes which you hear through your amp, then surely it can just as easily be correct by sharpening up and not being so lazy?

  5. Surely for the type of music you guys play it would impossible to right a well structured songs with all the different accents and licks etc and know it sounds good especially through all the background noise? If you know what I mean. And how did playing without an amp help your technique?
