Don't remind me about the Indiana Jones line! I love the decor but it played tricks on me. "Oh good, we are almost there. Nope, we only made to the entrance of the tomb, the line spirals for another hour through the tomb." I think I am scarred for life because of that line.

I started reading this and was thinking: "Really? It was a joke.." Then I got to the Snow White part.... Hilarious. :)

I did not realize this. This pretty much seals the deal for me. I love the top row, middle. That is my perfect pick right there. Thanks for sharing!!!

Right? I took the kids to Disney 2 years ago and felt like I should have re-mortgaged my house. But I agree... You are owed this bass. Just grab it. LOL!!!!

I use the Adamas and I love them, even though they are 2mm. Works great for me. But I may try the Telefunken that another person posted about. I looked at em and wasn't sure about the triangle shape... But It won't hurt to try them for that price.

I vote to jump the barricade and bring home a really nice souvenir. :)

Your bathroom is not your biggest fan. LOL!

This is me being green with envy. I LOVE Modulus. Owned a Q5 myself at one time and miss the heck out of it. :) For me it was a mix of switching my amp head from an SWR to an Eden, buying bass with Aguilar DCB's and stringing it with half rounds. But the most recent addition to my rig that...

Congrats! That looks so nice. I am very happy for you that it finally arrived AND is seemingly undamaged.

I am still trying to figure out why you needed to build up the nerve to post that. That came out fantastic! Nice work!

Not trying to feed anything. But you have to admit that you came here with the intent to call out Fender for a mistake in promotional material, right? I have seen several manufacturers websites that have completely different basses pictured in certain sections because they are calling attention...

Hmmmm... What an interesting "dreamer" question. I guess my first purchase would be a Modulus TBX. I already have an Eden WT800.... so I guess I would go for cabs next and get an Eden 4x10 and a 1x12. I would then round it out by completing my effects chain with a hard to find Bassballs, then...

This is why I decided last week to suck up sitting in traffic and drive the hour and a half to just get my bass in hand. I wasn't prepared to deal with these people and have it show up broken. I am also super impatient. :)

If your budget is $3k... I would be heading straight to a Modulus dealer and looking at a Q5. Nuff said. Edit: If you want to save yourself a few bucks however, check out the Ibanez BTB lineup. I just bought a 1935... It is beautiful and sounds amazing. Your call...

Not sure if this was mentioned but your local guitar tech, if you have one in your area, could easily probably fix it for relatively cheap. I mean if it is brand new, it may need a set up anyway... unless you do all that yourself (personally I don't trust myself adjusting the neck).

It seems this is becoming very common. Same type of thing just happened to me, luckily not with my new bass but another high end item. Shipping label was created, nothing for two weeks, called the seller and got "UPS lost it, file a claim." There appears to be something larger going on with UPS...

I can only give you what my experience is... Whether it is right or wrong, it works for me. Before I secured everything to a pedal board, I played around with order. I always put the compressor at the end because I felt compressing the signal of the entire chain was better, rather than...

Looks like an 845, sort of, although the finish is different. Could also be the lighting? Ether way, looks to be in fairly decent condition for only $300 with Barts... Someone should snag that immediately.

I have to admit, I am a little nervous to even attempt this. Drilling holes in my brand new bass seems scary even though I would like to put on strap locks. I don't move a lot when I play but I have dropped a bass or two in my day after not carefully ensuring my strap was all the way on the peg...

It is kind of a long story but to sum it up, back in the late 90's I came into some cash flow and immediately bought a Modulus that I fell in love with. During my research at the time, I had no idea about this BTB line. All my local shops had lower end Ibanez basses that I didn't much care for...

I would look into an Ibanez BTB... There are several models in here that are within your price range. Personally I just bought a BTB1935 and I feel like a broken record because I am mentioning it again. It is quite literally one of the best instruments I have played in a long time. I am an old...

You seem to have zeroed in on one sentence. I suggest reading the rest of my post for context. I at no time suggested cheap basses are bad.

What a great thread. I was on the never ending hunt for a good reverb for my rig. I landed on the Eventide Space. I use "Earth Hall" tweaked a bit 99.9% of the time. If the particular jam calls for spacey, ridiculous effects, I can kick it up to "Echospace of God" with my MXR Envelope filter...

My response may be slightly unpopular due to the amount of hatred I have read on these strings. But personally, I have found the D'Addario half rounds to be my preferred string. The full rounds sound very "stringy" and bright for my tastes. I like the flatter tones of the half's and then EQ...

Ok.... Will do....

I disagree. I think people are trying to help him/her see that there are A LOT of other models on the market, within their price range, that may be better or equal to the models they looked at thus far. I don't think showing him/her photos of their cheap bass models hurts the conversation in...

Never thought I would ever be an Ibanez owner/fan. But here I am, with my brand new BTB1935 and singing its praise whenever I can.

I am just posting again because I think this entire thread is hilarious and deserves a bump. Have a great day!

Someone else already mentioned it but the Sterling SUB was probably the best cheap bass I ever owned. I bought it as a stop gap till I could get back to a more "boutique" bass and ended up using it as my primary for 4 years. I restrung it with some half rounds to cut down on string noise and I...

My two cents. I have been playing bass for 30+ years and when I needed a bass quick, I jumped into a Sterling by MM SUB 5 string. I thought it is was merely going to be a stop gap until I could afford something in the $2k range. I ended up using the thing as my primary instrument for 4 years...

Yeah... I was almost forced into it. I had been playing a Sterling SUB for years and loved it... But recently had some electronics issues. It was almost like a happy accident type thing. ;)

Yep. That is exactly the one.

Yeah, you quoted one of my posts that said "it doesn't give me hope I will ever see this BTB I just purchased" which I posted to a thread talking about shipping disasters lately. Weird. Anyway, because of that thread, I decided to drive an hour and just pick it up rather than having it...

I actually just posted about this in another thread. I have been a bass snob for many years. Primarily playing a Modulus Q5... I have never once considered an Ibanez as an option before, ever. But I had reluctantly sold the Modulus and with a wife and kids now, no room in the budget for a...

I don't know how that response made it to this thread as that was for another thread. Either way, I took the plunge and went and picked up an Ibanez BTB1935 yesterday. Immediately went to rehearsal with it and fell in love almost instantly. We record every rehearsal so the clarity, tone and...

I just purchased this yesterday. An Ibanez BTB1935. Other than the weight, it sounds pretty amazing. I am going to throw some half rounds on it this week to get rid of the string noise. I also have a Sterling SUB, not pictured as it is in the shop due to some issues.

Ok... None of this is giving me any confidence that I am ever going to see this new Ibanez BTB I just purchased... :(

The real question here is... Did it have 19 frets or 20? See, it is all about the 75 cents they saved on that 20th fret.

Didn't you say you wouldn't use the word "Literally" anymore? Literal, literally, same thing. ;)

It does... Unfortunately in today's world, we have entitled our children to the point where a company cannot make a simple mistake with their marketing before there is outrage over how they are "ripping us off." When in fact, they are doing no such thing. That poor marketing person was just...
