    The Ibanez Club (Part 3)

    Already got a number, but just thought of posting up my current Ibanez. She's an 06' BTB.

    Pickguard choice opinions??

    I'd get the purple mirror, cause I am biased towards mirror pickguard. But I think the black/silver paisley would match your black satin bass.

    Your favorite P-style bass?

    I like the 50's P look for collection but for gigging I'd go with the standard P with mirror pickguards. Tried a Yamaha Pulser, was impressed with the compressed tight tone. Want to try an Atkinson now, for the price and the custom specs, it's hard to beat.

    Dio

    Holy crap, I can't get this through my mind. My brain doesn't want to process or accept it! :crying: Is it true? Is it true? I've read it earlier from Metalinsider and googled a few sites that confirmed it. :bawl: I'm so bummed! I thought he was recovering from his fight with the dragon...

    Singing the praise of the Aria Pro II

    I had a chance to grab a Aria Pro II RSB for 300$ early this year, shame on me for passing on that chance. I've been thinking about the bass since then.

    Wow, gotta love Wick for that workmanship. Congrats man! I'd love to get my hands on one.

    If you won the lottery

    Wow, I'd start with a MIA Deluxe P probably custom to a Jazz width neck and 24 frets and vice versa for Jazz Bass. A Kubicki factor with big flamed maple top, delicious! And lastly, I'd like to go for a Conklin! :)

    How many frets do you need?

    I like it to have 24 frets although I rarely, rarely go up till 24th fret cause of the space and ease to move about around 20-21st fret. :)

    Coolest F-Hole?

    You mean this? I think Atkinson basses are great. Love his relics. I like the Ken Lawrence one. The flow wows me.

    Bassist/Singers?

    Someone must have mentioned the great Phil Lynott! Burke Shelley is one of my favourite besides Geddy Lee. 8) Peter Steele, front man of Type O Negative, RIP brah. Also guys like John Entwistle, Larry Graham, Victor Bailey (uhm, maybe not so), Lemy, Gene Simmons, Paul McCartney, Roger Waters...

    Ibanez SR305 any good for a first 5 stringer?

    Try looking for a Schecter Elite 5. I think Schecters look better for metal.

    Is it worth trading my bass for this bass ?

    Pics please! The magnum is a weird/interested looking bass. I'd lean towards trading it with a jazz. From what I hear, the tone is quite similar to a Gibson EB3 with a little bit more piano edge to it. I've played a Gibson EB3 and it sounds rounded, bold, thick and deep all the way through. If...

    I have a plm with my bass guitar 6 neck thru strings

    ^ Yes, the harmonics at 5th fret works all the time. And be patient with the tuner, it will catch it sooner or later. And there are 6 stringer basses with active pickups, therein the batteries. You mean, you sold it? Hmm, okay...

    The Ibanez Club (Part 3)

    Hello guys, I am new around here and just saw this club. I have a BTB555MP, which is a little rough cosmetic-wise, but it plays like a dream. The neck feels perfect for me. Had a GSR206 for a while to start off with a 6 stringer. An old pic of my GSR206. Can I get a number#?

    Whats your current GAS ?

    Been gassing for a GB, The Rumour for a long time. I used to GAS for mesa boogie 400+ too. And a mesa 8x10 cab. Just for kicks at home, a Markbass mini 151P. Invalid Link Removed Uhh, wish I have the money now! :P

    The truth Wood resonance Build Ect.

    oldprussians, I bet anyone can hear the differences blindfolded. For instance, neck-throughs would accentuate the low end more and bolt-ons have tighter sound.

    A "Metal Fender" discussion

    I think that made sense. Good points forwarded. :) I just think that people are revolving and their taste of feel and sound isn't the same like in the 80's anymore.

    Why some bassists who play metal do not play a Fender?

    Because they are bulky and short of frets?

    Am I missing something about Fenders?

    I just tried a couple of Fender Jazz basses recently, MIA 60's, MIJ special and MIM. They are not like what I'd expect from the most sought after brand. The MIA 60's jbass felt a little chunky and uncomfortable. The pickups were noisy! The sound was OKAY but it gets lost easily in the mix...

    Ibanez GSR206

    I owned it for a while just to start off with a six stringer. I didn't like the string spacings. The neck seemed too flat for me, wide but flat. When setup nicely, it plays fine. Maybe you should wait till you have enough for a SR506, instead of buying a GIO.

    a cool bass story

    That's a great story. Salutations to OP for being cool with everything and your brother for serving the country. :) For people who care so much about their "private things," it's no big deal IMO, it's a bigger deal for the kid at the opposite side of the river. Basses are harder to come by over...

    Am I missing something about Fenders?

    I was beginning to think I was the only one. I am not a big fan of fender too. The last MIA Jazz I played was a dismal to me. It was NOT bad at all but wasn't like I expected. The neck was thinner than I thought, it had a little warp which I think the GC should be blamed. The specs wasn't the...

    Spector Club Pt. 4 (Insert Clever Title Here)

    Could someone please post a sound clip of the versatility of a Spector NS2-b tonewise? Doesn't have to be the exact model though. Videos on youtube isn't clarity enough. :)
