I consider it pretty low, I don't think I could get it much lower without it going bad.

It took a few years, but we've finally found a great band that we're going to play many shows with. A couple of the people in the band used to be in this other band I was really into, introduced myself to them after one of their shows, then they broke up. Then one of the guys was at a show we played a few months ago and we reconnected and we've gotten all friendly and they're playing in this other band now. We played with them on Friday and it went incredibly well.

We actually covered that at the show, they loved it.

I haven't changed my action since I got my bass. Doesn't bother me.

gaslight · 01-30-2011, 01:43 AM

I used to fiddle with it but I got it back after a repair/set-up one time and the action was just smooth and beautiful, haven't fiddled with it since.

I like the look of this new Ibanez http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR4505E, I've never had a maple fretboard though.

fatbandit · 01-30-2011, 03:40 AM

A maple fretboard shouldn't be a concern. The tone difference is going to be minimal, and you shouldn't be spending all day staring at the fretboard when you're playing anyway. It looks better than rosewood IMO - go for it!

gaslight · 01-30-2011, 04:47 AM

It's a prestige model so I'm afraid it'll be too overpriced for me by the time it's available here, but I'll look into it. Under $2G and I'll go it.

BenJammin · 01-30-2011, 07:45 AM

I'm thinking of getting an Ergo EUB. I had to return the rental upright the other day.

gaslight · 01-30-2011, 11:30 AM

I'm conflicted at the moment whether I go for an Aguilar DB210 cab, an upright, an EUB, or that 5 string Ibanez.

Or more things if I'm honest, I also need new glasses and new spare glasses.

Fuck we're all just SO COOL. Serious guys we're all mad dudes.

FlamingCouch · 01-30-2011, 11:35 AM

Not gonna lie man, that Ibanez in four gave me a 3/4 chub.

so many stupid frivolous purchases I would make if I were rich! :\

- new cymbals
- new snare
- new basses
- lots of pedals
- some kind of floyd-rose sporting axe

not to mention I would obviosuly have to buy a recording studio or something stupid awesome.

brb buying lottery tixxxxx~~~`

whoops ninja edit - it seems like Aguilar is the absolute pimp-cane amongst you gents. What is it that kicks their gear up a notch?

fatbandit · 01-30-2011, 05:30 PM

I think aesthetically, Aguilar nail it every time. Their stuff oozes class. Never owned any Aguilar stuff except the Tonehammer though, so I couldn't really pass comment on the sound!

gaslight · 01-31-2011, 12:26 AM

Aguilar stuff is fucking ace.

Excellent build quality, excellent tone, 100% reliable.

I have the Aguilar AG500 head, it's the best sounding solid state amp I've heard. My mate has the DB750, I'm so fucking jealous. That thing is beyond amazing.

I have the Aguilar TLC Compressor too, it's probably the best compressor you'll get in a stompbox.

I think I just crafted the perfect System of a Down mix for my car.

Wtf? How am I just now seeing this? I was at NAMM that year and hung out on the bottom floor by Circle K strings for a while.

funkyhoney · 01-31-2011, 01:06 PM

Beats me, maybe you tuned out of banal tapping escapades on monstrous basses.

Compared to 90% of the other players at NAMM, this is definitely tasteful enough to warrant watching.

I actually kind of like Baudin's solo tapping. Of the many solo bassists out there, his stuff is quite listenable.

Yeah, I know, I just think it's a bit overkill; I got over the whole "look at mah giant bass" thing a while back.
