    BBC Slates Bass Players

    To non-bass players, it probably does seem a fairly simple instrument. But after all the main point of the bass is to hold the rhythm down, and for the majority of us bass players we are modest about primarily filling this role, and don't feel the need to show off unlike guitarists. Just a shame...

    Venting anger/dissapointment ...

    Thanks for the advice :), I'm just confused as to why they would stop the sale of the current model in the UK, but continue to sell it in the US :hmm:. I'll look into those websites.

    Venting anger/dissapointment ...

    I would order from the US if I could a find a website that shipped that model to the UK :( , But the reason why I tried so hard to get it locally is because I really don't trust the couriers and I don't want to have it shipped all the way from the US only to find it broke :( (worse case scenario...

    Venting anger/dissapointment ...

    I rang two other music stores in my area and they said the same thing though :hmm:, Because I live in the UK the SR605 is kinda hard to get hold off anyway because as far as I'm aware it's only a US model :(. As I outlined in the previous post, I'm not annoyed at the waiting, just the fact that...

    People who started on a bass?

    I actually started on drums, but wanted something more 'melodic' within the rhythm section of a band. Neglect the drums quite a bit now, but am sure glad that I picked up the bass. Realise now that I'm more suited to the bass. :)

    Wanting to Modify a Peavey

    I was considering doing exactly the same thing. I own a Peavey Millenium 4 string aswell, and I really don't like the tone I get out of it. I was considering going for the EMG HZ's but I'm not sure whether I should go for these passive ones or whether it'd be worthwhile converting the bass into...
