i looked at one for a while before i got my dean
they seem a bit fat

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 07:58 AM

... Elaborate.

jaco jr 04-10-2005 07:59 AM

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]... Elaborate.[/QUOTE]
they seem like a regular bass shape - but a bit wider - they look like a distorted version of the norm
and the elctronics arent all too good

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:03 AM

How can the electronics be bad with standard passive bass controls?

And thanks on the "fat" tip. They aren't the greatest looking basses, but they are original, not to mention, I don't have anyway of hitting my band mates wih no head.

good rats 04-10-2005 08:03 AM

Hey guys I'm back.

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:05 AM

Steinberger = second Alchemy

good rats 04-10-2005 08:06 AM

That abss is awesome, I've played one before. Slapping sounds so nice on it when you put the selection thing to "Thump"

Its fun checking what people have bought on their ebay accounts!

Whats with the Skype stuff? Does it mean you get free calls or something?

I see you're quite a computer-y person too :)

Nice Dean bass you got there! :D

lol - the worst thing to get hit with is the headstock of an epiphone/gibson explorer - my deans almost as good
well - standard passive electronics? - for that money or maybe a little more - you could get active pickups - its just a bit basic for - a second bass

skype phones is what you plug into the computer using USB port then make a phone call over the internet - and it only costs the rate of a standard local call to wherever youre calling - my dad uses it because for his work he phones loads of people abroad
he rang my uncle in singapore the other day and it was a clear phone line and only the cost of local calls in singapore
and buy my acoustic already

katana_manatee 04-10-2005 08:12 AM

Getting hit by the head of a thunderbird is pretty nasty... I have nearly knocked out on of my guitarists twice thanx to my old one... The thing is so bloody long...

lemoley 04-10-2005 08:15 AM

hey guys, whats up

good rats 04-10-2005 08:18 AM

Not much, I'm checking out the Line 6 bass, it's really interesting, and I plan on picking on up in the future.

katana_manatee 04-10-2005 08:22 AM

They apparently sound great, really good reproductions of classic basses but the feel of instrument is apparently very cheap and not too great. Playability isn't meant to be too great either...

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:28 AM

I'm not going to save up for a Line 6 (which was an original idea) because of the lack of frets... Call me picky, but from now on, I need to be able to easily reach atleast the 21st.

good rats 04-10-2005 08:29 AM

Yea, I've played it, it's alright, it's got GREAT sounds, it's raelly amazing, it would be so much better if they felt just as good as they sounded.

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:31 AM

I've heard they feel like a jazz. Nothing bad there.

Hey, has anyone else played Steinbergers?

Jaco Jr: I checked the site, and it seems you played an old Z series; the new ones are slimmer and lighter.

Jamie 04-10-2005 08:31 AM

THe variaxes are brilliant! Ive played one for about 6 hours over the course of a week when I was working in a music shop.

They are soooo versatile and I can get so many tones out of it its amazing! And the neck is a really nice size and feels great. The only problem is there are hollow spots and theres a hollow spot under the strings and near the G string, which annoyed me when my fingers were hitting the hollow pickguard area when popping

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:37 AM

Jame: If you stare at your avatar, it seems to be getting faster and faster every time...

Bedrovelse 04-10-2005 08:39 AM

his avatar makes meh feel sick... :upset:

good rats 04-10-2005 08:40 AM

I did it then, and it actually does. And who here actually plans on buying a Line 6 Variax bass? *raises hand*

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:43 AM

So... No one has played a Steinberger :upset:?

Jamie 04-10-2005 08:44 AM

I dont plan on buying one unless im really rich :thumb:


My avatar is the best in the world!
