[QUOTE=Radiobass81]So... No one has played a Steinberger :upset:?[/QUOTE]

They are all headless.

So, it was good :)?

good rats 04-10-2005 08:48 AM

Hey DFIA. Hows it going?

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]They are all headless.

oh i didnt know that :upset:

and yeah it had a really nice warm tone and was well worth the money (plus allie bar bar plays one ;) )

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:53 AM

:)

I'll get one soon. I will, however, by the XZ-2, which do not look like brooms, so are nto as comfortable (seeing as the L series and the others are considered the most comfortable basses ever).

Dieforitall89 04-10-2005 08:54 AM

Not too bad...I discovered what you guys mean when you say country music is a crowd pleaser....i got a few solos at my mini gig and that was one of them and everyone was clapping(just did the verse-ish thing and the chorus)

katana_manatee 04-10-2005 08:57 AM

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]How does it sound? What model? Was it worth it?[/QUOTE]

It is a Steinberger Spirit Pro (I think), good sound off of it but not a very natural tone. Good for metal and blues but not too great clean imo. Not a bad guitar though, worth the price at about £300.

lemoley 04-10-2005 08:58 AM

good luck then radiobass hope you find one

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 08:58 AM

Nice.

Another one of my friend's picked up an instrument; saxophone :).

Maybe he can join us (the band) in a year or so, hopefully sooner, as I now want to play some Spyro Gyra.

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 09:00 AM

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]Thanks Katana and lemoley :).[/QUOTE]

no problem man :wave:

good rats 04-10-2005 09:08 AM

Well for my birthday in two weeks I plan on getting the Behringer BX3000t head from my folks to go with my Hartke VX115. And then after that I'm saving for a new bass, most likely a Ibanez SR505.

lemoley 04-10-2005 09:09 AM

well since i have just bought a new bass i dunno really, maybe a new amp

katana_manatee 04-10-2005 09:10 AM

Nice ^ :cool: (To good_rats)

good rats 04-10-2005 09:10 AM

:upset:

good rats 04-10-2005 09:12 AM

That ain't the best review. ****, why do you want the Steinberger?

lemoley 04-10-2005 09:13 AM

[QUOTE=good rats]What bass did you get?[/QUOTE]

A fender jazz (MIM), i posted a thread about it but it waas not very popular :upset: thanks for asking though

Jamie 04-10-2005 09:14 AM

A geddy lee jazz bass hopefully!

katana_manatee 04-10-2005 09:14 AM

One thing I will say about Steiny's is they look like cricket bats with strings.

He might be wanting it for portability, ease of throwing it in the over head compartment in a plane perhaps?

Spyro Gyra are awesome.

lemoley 04-10-2005 09:14 AM

btw why are you so bothered on getting a steinberger radiobass

good rats 04-10-2005 09:15 AM

Oh, haha. Tell us more about it.

lemoley 04-10-2005 09:15 AM

[QUOTE=jamie_dunce]A geddy lee jazz bass hopefully![/QUOTE]

niiiiice good luck man :cool:

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 09:15 AM

Darn, I hate harmony central. First, they hated the bass, and now, they love the one with a drop d option.

Meh... They gave high ratings to the SX I bought, so...

And something that bothers me about the earlier review; 5 on stock sound, yet 8 on stock overall... WHAT?

lemoley 04-10-2005 09:18 AM

[QUOTE=good rats]Oh, haha. Tell us more about it.[/QUOTE]

are you talking to me, oh well if you are......

Its in black and is left handed (of course) and i got it for 390 pounds as the shop will be getting loads of publicity as it is gonna be on on prime time tv. I also got other stuff due to the discount offer including: a hard case, rotosound strings, a strap and a boss br-1180 :cool:

good rats 04-10-2005 09:18 AM

Harmony Central can be RAELLY good for reviews, or sometimes, it can just suck.

Radiobass81 04-10-2005 09:19 AM

Rollo: Indeed. Most of their songs are simply amazing. They came here last year for the Heineken jazz fest and... I MISSED THEM :upset:.

Why I want a Steinberger:

I love headless basses (I've always had), and I love the clang. I've alwas liked Kubicki clangs, but they are a tad exagerrated, and too overpriced, where as Steinberger basses are mainly perfect in everything.
