It's a stained matte finish.

Here are a couple of pictures of my new Schecter C-5 Custom. This is the new model with the EMG pickups. I decided to replace my Ibanez BTB with something that had a slimmer neck. These weren't in the stores yet, so I took a chance when I ordered it from my local Schecter dealer. Now that I...

There is a big difference between the SR and BTB basses from Ibanez. The necks are thicker on the BTB while the SR has a thinner neck. I play a BTB and like it, but it took some getting used to. You really need to go down to the music store and try different basses. You may find that...

I picked up a pair of these last week. They seem quite comfortable. I gave the suggestions to our sound guy on Sunday morning. He looked over them and plans to try some of the suggestions at practice on Tuesday. Thanks for the input. As always, TB'ers are helpful.:bassist:

I have a Ibanez BTB 405QM which has passive pickups but an active EQ. It's plugged into an MXR M-80 Bass DI to FOH and then to the Aviom. I'm sending a somewhat EQ'd sound to FOH. I hesitate to mess too much with either the DI or Bass settings. I was using the same settings on both before...

Please understand, I'm not trying to bash our sound guy. 3 weeks ago our church just did a major upgrade to the sound system which included the Avioms and a new sound board. We are all new at this and our sound guy is still learning. He's more than willing to make changes, I just don't know...

Thanks for the advice. I'll work with our sound guy to get some more mids in my mix. The lack of definition and "mud" that Jimbob mentions is what I am hearing (or not hearing).

We just moved to IEM and an Aviom system. I purchased a pair of Atrio M5 earbuds since most of the reviews I saw said that they had a pretty good bass response. My problem is that I seem to get lost in the mix whenever any other instruments are playing. I have to crank my bass volume way up...

I think you need to ask yourself why the Youth Pastor has placed this person at your rehearsals. Most of the other advice that you have gotten has centered on whether you should take the advice of the observer. The Youth Pastor has some reason that he thinks you need supervision to make sure...

We also had a great worship service this morning. Our church has been searching for a new worship leader. The last few weeks we have had a different candidate lead worship each Sunday. Sort of an OTJ interview. The guy this week did a great job of engaging the congregation. We still have...

I just got my BTB405 off of TB this week. Still trying to adjust to the 5th string. I plan to try it out this weekend at church. Can I get a number?

Our church just revamped our service last month and we are interviewing for a new WL. In the old service, all of the vocalists pretty much sang the whole song. Even the coach we brought in seemed to have everyone singing the whole time. We had a guest WL at practice the other night. On every...

Payment sent. Thanks Moobler!

I'm playing a black Taurus T14. I decided to learn how to play bass last year, and the Washburn is my first bass.
