Hi All! Just looking for a quick straw poll of opinions... I'm very tempted to purchase either a 4 or 5 string Stingray at some point in 2017... however I'm undecided on the pickup set up. Quite simply - I know the single H is the classic Musicman Stingray Sound but with a HH the bridge...

Bump :)

Hi All, :D *A bit of a long read... sorry it wasn't meant to be when I started writing this honest! :bag:* So I've told myself I'm adding just one more bass to my extended family (For the time being at least!) and I'm trying to pick which of the shortlist I had in mind would be the most...

Bump :):bassist:

*Removed - I've accidentally put this into the wrong forum - Sorry!* If a mod can delete this I'll repost it in the correct sub forum! Many thanks B.G.B

Bump... :bassist:

Hi All, Some of you may have seen in the last week or so I posted that I was contemplating getting a Stingray 5 to add to my bass family... Though I do currently own the following; - EBMM Bongo 6 - MIM Fender Jazz - Ibanez SR1305 - Fender US Deuluxe Dimension 5 I was reasonably set on...

I've had my SR 1305 for just under 6 months... I'm yet to gig with it but as stated above... wonderful solid construction, with nicely voiced pick ups, the options to bypass the active EQ and play it passive is certainly a nice option, though the 3 band EQ and the 3 way mid selector switch...

At the moment it's my Ibanez that probably sees the least play time.... partly because it's the least convenient to get out and play and because my Dimension in the newest of the 4... so that may be a part of it... My thoughts were honestly the Ibanez has a more modern "Hi-Fi" sound which I'd...

Hi all, I said to myself (Like many of us I'm sure) "I'm not going to make any new bass related purchases in 2017" However as we come to the end of the first month of the year following all the announcements from NAMM I find myself caving already... in particular for a Stingray 5 in the new...

Hi guys, I'm having a craving for a 2nd Fender to compliment my MIM Jazz. I'm debating between a MIM Standard Precision at £594/$725 And a USA Deluxe Dimension 5 (single H) which is on sale from £1,440/$1,760 reduced to £799/$976 Number of strings isn't any issue - I've played/owned 4/5/6...

Hi Guys! So I currently have a MIM Fender Jazz Bass, and should be due to receive my Stealth Pearl Bongo 6 in the next 2-3 weeks. However GAS strikes again before my Bongo has even arrived! Though I'm rationalising it to myself as "Productive GAS" haha! With a budget of around £600/$870 I...

Hi guys, I ordered myself a Bongo 6 H/S in Stealth Pearl in September last year that's due to arrive next month for all my progressive playing needs! As of right now I have my Fender MIM Jazz LPB/Maple and a back up Peavey BXP Milestone as my only 2 basses. My Bongo isn't even here yet and...

Hi guys, So after much deliberation I recently part exchanged my 2 Ibanez basses to help fund a Bongo 6 which I have ordered - and manage to catch in Stealth Pearl before it was discontinued! However I'm not expected to be able to collect said Bongo until 2016 (I was told roughly 12 weeks) as...

Hi Guys, I'm hoping this is going to be a no brainer for the vast number of experienced Jazz Bass users here on the forums... I've just restrung my 2013 MIM Fender Jazz and the windings on the tuning post specifically for my A string are sitting right at the top of the post.... as a result...
