I thought you were talking about a thread dedicated to the actual build itself. My mistake.

ah, no not yet

What do you prefer in terms of both basses?

Do you like the style of one more than the other?

The necks?

The tone?

The electronics?

I prefer the peavey because it is a peavey, though i havent played one i have had good experience with other peaveys and from what i have heard from other player it is a good bass for small handed player. it is also cheaper.

the ibanez has been raved about but ibanez's i have played havent blown me away, there is just something about their sound, but this is a better spec one with better pups an pre so may be better. Unfort i am still to find a local shop that stocks either.

i prob wouldnt mod the Ibanez as the only reason i would start on the peavey is the lack of active eq but after a while i could prob afford an U-retro for it.

well all i can suggest is keep loking for either to play but, if that still fails, go with the peavy :thumb:

no where in glasgow seems to stock many 6ers at all, they are a rare breed, but thanx for the peavey support, i was unsure because everyone bigs up the 506

meh imo ibanez's can be VERY hit and miss

The SR506 has a pretty weak sounding B string, and the tonal difference when moving between your D to your G and C strings is huge.

No bass is without its problems. People overrated the SR506. I'm happy with mine, but I know that it's not the end-all be-all of basses.

i played on the SR506 once before, its a nice bass

well im outter here

see ya guys

The only hard part is trying to figure out what kind of a bass I want next. I'd really like a nice four for playing in bands and for slapping, but a 7 string is just what I need for my solo music... hmmm...

You can play in bands and slap on a 7.

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;13451960]You can play in bands and slap on a 7.[/QUOTE]

In a band setting, I'm not too likely to use those higher strings. And I don't know if I want to punish my back by playing with a seven for that long.

You still have a 6, too. Because I have one, I know that it's not a very heavy bass.

Also, do you have a band right now that you want the 4 for?

No, I'm in in a band. I'm just hypothesising. And you know as well as I do that when it comes down to it, I'll just go for the 7. :p

Because the 7 is way more awesome. 4 is useless when you have 7.

It's not like anyone gets a 7 and tunes it ADGCFBbEb.

:lol: Yeah, truly so.

As long as the string spacing isn't any tigther than it is on the Ibanez, I can hack slapping.

And I'd love to see the look on a guitarists face when I show up to audition for a band and whip out a 7.

My ibanez sr505 has been very good to me until recently.
Lately, when i hit the open strings the note will distort and almost sound like i threw on a pedal. It doesn't happen whenever i fret a note wich I'm finding werid.
Any one have any ideas about what could be wrong?

Could be that your battery is dying, or could be that you have the bass knob turned up too high and are causing it to distort.

i do beleive mine is passive, especially since theres no battery opening on the back.

And the bass knob on my amp and bass are turned slightly. Not all the way.

Spiff, what's the status on the Zorn albums?

/Is a music bum

I need to get my bass fixed up.

-solder wire on input jack
-adjust action (it's not all the bad, but needs adjusting for how I want it, not totally sure how to do it on my own, especially with two truss rods)
-new strings (don't fully need them yet... after over a year and a half, but why not?)
-clean pots
-reattach volume knob

Ugh... it's not even that much, but it's stuff that I need to do or get done.

Garry Goodman is so amazing!

His tone is riduculous, and he really puts a lot of fun emotion into this version.

I think I've found one I like more than Jean's.
