I don't want it, so I left my bid at home.

[QUOTE=katana_manatee]Jeez I need to rack up my post count... Not been the most active member lol Double post I hear you cry? Yeah yeah, sorry about that. So what's everyone's next bass related purchase on the horizion?[/QUOTE]

Steinberger bass

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

no problem man :wave:

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.

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

Nice ^ :cool: (To good_rats)

What bass did you get?

:upset:

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

[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

A geddy lee jazz bass hopefully!

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?

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]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.[/QUOTE]

Spyro Gyra are awesome.

btw why are you so bothered on getting a steinberger radiobass

Oh, haha. Tell us more about it.

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

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?

[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:

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

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.

Suggest me an album to get? I have none of their albums, but would like one/some.

It is just a shame that the original Steinberger company don't make them anymore. All you can get these days are licenced copies.

[QUOTE=good rats]Harmony Central can be RAELLY good for reviews, or sometimes, it can just suck.[/QUOTE]

I actually hate HC, as most reviews come from fanatics of the bass (so it will have amazing reviews) or unexperienced players, such as the guys who rated the SX :upset:.

Now, Talkbass...

[QUOTE]about 2 years ago i picked up the five sting version- the xt25. for what it is i really couldn't be happier. i bought it mainly as a travel bass, something keep handy if inspiration ever strikes, and at times the perfect small backup. i bought mine from musicyo, and although the finish is perfect, i noticed that the factory didn't put in one of the screws on one of the pickup rings; nothing major but enough to slightly dietract from an otherwise great set-up. the rest of the set-up from the factory was actually pretty good, nice and low with no buzz. the strings didn't have a feel i liked and i replaced them with a set from ken smith, and it made a huge imporovement in both feel and sound. the neck reminds me of a spector, although i think the string spacing is just a touch tighter; but this is only from memory and i could be wrong. i don't like vol/vol/tone setup's, and one day may re-wire it, but overall the tone is one i really like. i am very impressed with the bridge pickup, i usually play primarily with the neck solo'd or just a touch or bridge, but that back pickup just sounds alot fuller than most other passive basses i've played. i also really don't care for emg's but i find these do the job really well. the only real downside to the electronics is the amount of volume it actually controls, only about the upper 15% seems to control the pickup, after that any change is not noticeable. the gigbag isn't the thickest, but does its job and is free, so i guess i can't complian. other than geddy i know jeordie white is playing one with perfect circle; it is definetely a capable bass, especially one in the $300 price range.

This seems a lot fairer and better.

[QUOTE=good rats]Photos? And what does this Boss Br-1180 do?[/QUOTE]

It is a recording thingy lol, and i have just moved house so i cant find the camera sorry man.

Yeah, seems to be more objective and in depth.

Yea that's true Radio, everytime I read a review, I noticed a lot of 9's and 10's. And I was wondering, whya ll these basses were rated so high.

[QUOTE=Rollo47]Suggest me an album to get? I have none of their albums, but would like one/some.[/QUOTE]
The Deep End. It's the only one I have, but, from the ones I've head, I've liked this one the best.

Katana: It's still the same staff, mainly. When Gibson bought them, most of the staff stayed, even when the management moved.

Yea, it' seems my camera has gone walk abouts lately. I'll track it down soon enough.
