okay... im mad about Bass Chords... so much Im never going to have another B String on my 5 string Jazz Again. Im waiting for my GC to get my Stingray HH in... to see indeed want to purchase it. i have 30 days if i dont, or i could just grab a Sing H Sting V.

The Sting will have a B.

Since ive fully payed for the Stingray...
Ive got a Ampeg/Trace Rig, and a new EQ system, i think its time to make the big leap...

6 or 7 strings...

I was going to buy a Conklin 7 from a friend 2 months ago, but he couldnt let it go... so here i am looking at conklins, realizing... im just settling on them...

Heres what im looking for...

a 6 string (but i wont fight off a 7 stringer)
Jazz Style Pups
Fretted
35' scale neck
24 frets,
I really want it to be passive, but ill look at some active basses.

And its really important.. I need something know for being relatively quiet.

I need to buy a new car soon, so i wont go above 2000 dollars, and i wont wait more then 6months to recieve the bass..

Im looking at Conklins Groove Tools Line, The Yamaha TRBs... and even tho im not to keen on them, im not ruling warwick out... im not to fond of schecters either.

I play a fender, i think shecters are to plain in tone.

naveed, welcome to yamaha. Trb6 is what you are looking for, im sure you can get them under 2k new, and if oyu cant the used amrket on these things is fantastic, i got both of mine for 1100

EDIT: i just read the whole thing, i stopped reading at the specs of the bass you wanted. i reccomend this bass (i have two of them) quatre reccomends this bass (he also has two), john pattiuci sponsors these beats (who knows how many)

Maybe a nice Peavey Cirrus. It's active but I love Peavey.

EDIT: Damn, didn't see the Jazz style Pups.

Go Stingray 5 H :thumb:. I get enough bass with just one, you'll do fine.

As for the 6/7 stringer: http://www.basscentral.com/2003/used.shtml

You can find tons of good stuff there. Just look at the first bass!

They've got a Pattitucci sig for $1.6k, too.

hmm... it never'd dawned on me to look there...

i toyed with the idea, of sending my friend some cash, have him play a dolphin, and have him bring it back when he drove home from school. I forgot about it... and now he's graduated and is home for good ha...
