I have several basses: White Yamaha ERB300II Polar white Ibanez Musician 1982 Distressed finish Vintage Icon V4 Jaco fretless Sunburst Ibanez AFB200 fretless (quite rare from what I've seen) Black/white pearloid PG Line 6 Variax 700 Matt natural finish Warwick Streamer fretless 4 Black Yamaha...

Sorry! I do need to get some pics up! I think it was a pretty good deal. And this after scoring a Variax 700 bass for $475, which I thought was also a pretty good price. Especially where I am located, where I suspect they will be as rare as hen's teeth...

Hi all, I picked up a new bass the other day - a Warwick Streamer 4 string fretless, natural finish, passive pups. It's basically brand new. Was still packed in the Warwick shipping box with the wrapping, tags on and all. I paid about $160 for it. I think that's a really good deal. Anyone...

So helpful. Thank you, I really appreciate it. I will give this a go and maybe try adding a bit of my own flavor to it too! :)

Talkbass to the rescue! Thank you very much. That makes sense. If I am playing melodically the second one may make sense. Does it make sense to stick to the first if I am supporting two other guitarists?

I'm hoping one of you guys can help me! I'm trying to learn this song. When I view the songsterr tab in tab/read mode, it has chords tabbed out. When I view the page in player mode, it has no chords and only single notes. Anyone help with what's going on with that? What I notice is that if...

I will post some pics tomorrow - I haven't taken any of the new baby as yet. :) Interested to hear your thoughts. And *still* thinking about that Dano...

I really appreciate all the insight. And the comparisons between the instruments is really valuable. I have actually already picked up the Yamaha - I couldn't pass up what seemed like a really valuable deal, and it is killer. It has the most ridiculous low down growl, and tone for days. It...

Thanks all. I found out that it is a 2001 American reissue. Apparently there is another buyer interested from a reasonably famous local band so I doubt there is negotiation room on the price. Just wanted to solicit any latest thoughts on value now that it is confirmed the year and heritage...

Thanks for your reply! I agree on the rarity, and really like the tones - and this one is a 5'er so it gives some new options. I was wondering if anyone had any sense on what a reasonable price for one of these in good nick would be? I've seen conflicting opinions in the other TB threads...

Thanks for the insights everyone. It can be tricky to order online for me as I'm outside the US and Canada and so the shipping is usually exorbitant and a bit difficult to arrange. And prices here in stores once duties are applied are pretty hectic. But this still feels a little on the high...

Thanks for the excellent insights everyone! It's a tough decision. I really like the tone. Are Danos quite readily available in the US market? I think they're more rare in my area.

Hi everyone, Some may have seen my thread on the Danelectros a little earlier. There have been some great opinions and really helpful insights there. Since I am evaluating that bass against the Yamaha RBX 5 A2, I thought I'd post asking for similar insights from the excellent populace of TB...

Thanks again for the insightful comments. I love the tone from the video demos I've seen, and have a couple other basses that can deliver additional tone possibilities (including a 1982 Ibanez Musician), and I have a Chowny on the way to me now. So I would like to grab this, but the slightly...

Thanks very much. Is that mostly based on the shape of the controls and the color etc? Based on it being Korean stock, do you feel it may be worth the price asked? It's a really tough decision between this and the Yammie RBX A2 - because I can get them for the same price. But I won't be able...
