Invalid Link Removed Just wanted to share one of the songs from my band's EP. Take a gander and let me know what you think!

True. I play with a pick in my current band, and I don't have any markings after the pick on any of my basses.

Bump for a great TB'er.

I found the same to be true with a Q5 I used to own as well. Even the tuners were ridiculously good, I seldom had to tweak it even after carrying it around in a gig-bag. That the main difference, yeah. The material WILL expand and contract as a function of temperature alone, but for carbon...

When I practice, I usually play without any pedals, if I play an active bass I turn the preamp volume as loud as possible without overloading the amp's preamp, and with the amp EQ'd in such a way that it amplifies my every little mistake (or at least I did for the first couple of years). That...

I don't mean dead as in dead strings or a bad setup. Just... I don't know... No flavor to it at all. I wouldn't call it sterile,but then again, everyone have their own idea of what these words really mean. I might have exaggerated a bit, I did enjoy both the Modulus Q5 and the Stingray for a...

I did that... Didn't enjoy it much. I've been wanting to like graphite necks for a while. I love the idea, I love the feel of the neck, and I love the reliability. But I do not like the sound. I've had both a Stingray 5H with a Status neck, and a Modulus Quantum 5, fiddled around a lot with...

Soilwork Mercenary In Flames Katatonia Amorphis Gojira Opeth Mastodon I'd give Dimmu Borgir a shot, though they are classified as Symphonic Black Metal. I'm not into the theatre schtick these guys maintain, but their music is really good. I'd start out with Born Treacherous, and take it from there.

That is kind of funny, really... I've never been much of a passive guy, and the only distortion pedals I have stuck with is the EBS Multidrive and the Tech21 VT Bass..

Would you consider shipping to Europe?

I bought a 5H body a while ago, fitted a Status graphite neck, made a vintage SR preamp circuit (from PCB's sold by Uncle Fluffy), removed the blade switch and stock preamp, and swapped pots. The pickup were wired in parallell. It sounded a little harsh and clanky before this mod, now it's...

Update: I've been fiddling with installing it for a couple of hours now, and I've finally got it working ! At first I had a nasty howling sound when I turned the volume and treble pots all the way up, and somehow I got a built-in distortion effect that actually sounded VERY nice (I have no idea...

As per Uncle Fluffy's request, here are some pictures of the finished pre amps: Some of the components I purchased were a bit... off... First time I've ever done this kind of stuff... I thought the soldering turned out ok... Finished modules: Easy as pie to do, the directions...
