Has anyone tried SX basses

[hover]

I can see it now....

The Essex (SX) Bass Forum

Right, but the noobs will still post new threads in basses, and the new Essex (SX) forum itself will be a catastrophe, as every single new thread will be a variation of

"SX Basses, they worth it? THE MEGATHREAD"

So no one will be able to differentiate where they contributed last, sending the whole shebang into a swirling full circle endless discussion... the equivalent of the perpetual motion engine if it were achievable...but hey, it's prolly a good thing to lock it into one forum...maybe write a script that if in the thread title or text contains the letters S&X beside each other, they MOVE THEMSELVES to the forum, by default, automatically. That'd be awesome. CONTAIN THE budget BEAST!

Hence the second part of my post -
And a Sticky at the top of the forum "How to search for SX bass posts"

Still wont weed out all the noobs or dimwitted former guitar players, but it might help....

yup, got 2 and love 'em. A regular scale J and a short scale J with a nifty little Jaguar type body. Don't let the some people put you off. For the price, they are a great looking, great playing bass that can either stand on its own merit, or make a really great platform for mods.

...SX basses and guitars don't seem to exist here in England. Well, there's been none in the stores that I've been to, maybe someone else has seen them. Saw some lower-end-of-the-market Precision and Tele copies that looked very similar though, by "futurama". Maybe they've been re-branded here?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I did a review about a week or so ago. I don't know if it was listed on the 8 million links on the 1st page in this thread, but I'm not about to click through all of them to find out. LOL!

I have 2 SX basses and absolutely LOVE 'em.

Does rondo pay someone to jump on here every week or so with a new user and ask this question? I guess it is cheaper than advertising.

 

[Diogenes]

OK.... That's just wrong.

Brings up images of two girls one SX......

That was wrong.

I was thinking along the lines of 'I'll hit you so hard it would kill you and your family'... something being so powerful it affects others... really, that's what I meant.

I haven't had SX in months.

Now that is really funny ... and sad ...

Personally I like my SX loud.

 

[Ric5]

As a forum we need to be nice to newcomers and let them post threads without the rest of us saying we have already talked about that ...

The existing SX threads are overkill ... let them die and we can do new ones ...

 

[Low Tone]

You are disgusting.

It's an art.

 

[FL Knifemaker]

Apparently so... even I tasted it up here in Kentucky.

Oh, by the way. Has anyone here ever played a Fender... I think they call the particular model a 'Precision' something or other?

No WAY!! I never claimed to have projectile vomited........but it was close

Having quit the OT area, I find these threads to make up the difference in my entertainment debt. I say, NO SX forum, NO SX sticky. Why ruin a good thing???

By the way, I have heard of this Fender Precision thing you mentioned. I think I have one around here somewhere

You better put your tinfoil hat on. Black helicopters will be visiting you're home

A friend of mine bought one this weekend and asked me to set it up for him. I must admit, it's not a bad sounding, playing, or looking bass for the price he paid for it.

Just ask how many SX owners have more than 1. Can't be that bad if there are many multiple SX owners.

 

[NOVAX]

they seem pretty cheap but i have heard that for the price especially their guitars can't be beat. Just wondering about their basses.

I'm sorry for being a smartie, but I thought I asked silly
questions. Seriously...when are they gonna give you an
sx bass with 4 boxtops of raisin bran? How can anything be so
seemingly inexpensive? Are they made of pressboard? How close
are we to the day of the disposable instrument?

 

[D Rokk]

For $100 or so, you can get you some serious bottom...

roflcopter goes soi soi soi

Isn't that because they took advantage of a buy one get two free internet special??

My buddy is building a studio and needed two necks so he could make handles for his refrigerator. I directed him to Rondo and he bought two rosewood necks for less than $100....he was psyched!
