Hmm...how to explain...i'm now back at my dad's hometown so there's no picture i can show. There's few types of harmonics but I only know natural harmonics which is the most basic harmonic.

Anyway, this websites have good examples :-

Intonation problems...hmm, I think when you play on 12th fret, the note that came out is not exactly the same with the open strings one...

You can try repair it yourself, but since you not really sure anyway, it's safer to send it to techie. From your description, it's a fret buzz, can play around with the trust rod but it's not recommanded. Afraid further damage could happen.

Wasssuppppppp NZX!
It's syefri from jamtank here by the way, welcome to LYN Bassist thread!

I'm pretty much have the same opinion as NZX, since I don't have music theory background. Maybe you could simplify your question for n00b like me?

Oh, checkout Hoobastank older material...like this one song called "Can I Buy You A Drink?"...very funky & jazzy stuff. I don't really like their modern rock stuff.

Curbow boost switch will boost the mid. I look around for RBX, there's no information of what the boost switch does.

SX Bass!
Visit Woh Fatt to check 'em out...or http://sxguitar.com/basses.htm

To anyone that favours a Warwick, there's two Warwick belong to 2 different person...contact me if u want it, i'll relay u to them.

Warwick Thumb Bass - 5 string with Bartolini p/u - RM 4k
Warwick Thumb Bass - 6 string standard - price not yet known.

If i'm such a rich *******, i would alrdy take the 5 stringer.

which one?

I saw a few, especially the acoustic bass one...
The acoustic one...given the price less than RM 1k, not that bad la...ok for beginner/no money to buy more expensive acoustic bass but i never tried the electric one before.

For sub-RM 600, there's not much option I guess...let me try list some below. Not according to ranking yah...

1. Squier - i think you can get one around slightly above 600 for a P-Bass. Backed by Fender but dun expect it could be a Fender.

2. SX - definately around your budget. You can choose either P or J style...IMHO, better tone & quality than Squier. Since the build & quality are quite good for the price, it's suitable for future upgrades.

3. TGM - their acoustic one are not bad (RM 750), but hope the electrics will not far off if not as same quality as their acoustics for sub-600 ringgit.

4. Prince - the cheapest of the lot, u can get em around 400. Quality & sound very doubtful.

Just my 0.5 cents worth of talking

Oh...the answer just now are for another fella...hahaha

For RM 3000, yes u can get both Fender MIM P-Bass Standard and a 100-w amp (at least an Ibanez). Just need to do some bargaining

IMHO, P-Bass sound are not modern...they are retro to me.

MIM = Made in Mexico
MIA = Made in America
MIJ = Made in Japan.

These 3 places are the places where Fender basses came from. Affect the value & prices too

I don't know the exact price...just my estimation. If you concern about tone, then Ibanez are not really for you...just visit Bentley and test around. You have big budget, they will welcome u one

oh, terforget pulak...

everybody, let's chill out this Friday at a special gig featuring 3 kick ass bassist!



Words that a local renowned bassist might join the 3 fellas during the bass jam at the end of the gig!

Mari mari mari...bring u wife or girlfriend & come early coz 1st 20 females will get in for free

I feel you man, so better head to Bentley a.s.a.p and try your hearts out

You might want to consider Behringer BX1200 amp...cheap and loud

Got...Muse's bassist use Marshall amps.
There's few units lying around at Bentley the last time I visit there. Seriously dude, just free up one day and visit that place...just bargain here and there, u'll squeeze everything into ur 3k

Woah, another SPM-ers. All the best

Heheh...what amp? Set aside money for your Fender, then look at what option you have.

I prefer Ampeg amps...I only use like once or twice in my lifetime and it's god damn expensive to own one. That's the main reason why I bought a Bass V-Amp since it got Ampeg model inside

Personally, I doubt it. But I believe the judgement of my bro Monny

Are you intended to gig with the 100watter?

You can read them, but don't count on it much. Use your ears, guts, soul and your music knowledge

The last time I did an open air show, they gave me a 50watter...thank god for good P.A system

I salute you all SPMers...all the best for exams and work hard for your rigs

Limiter will cut some of your upper frequency are to prevent clipping (overlimiting your amp).From Behringer.com - "Limits the dynamic range similar to a compressor but only "at the top" and in a more drastic manner: the maximum level of the signal is prevented from exceeding the set threshold level. "

They miked it. So the puny amp just there to be my monitor.
I got another two open air show setting that I like to share with you guys (lol, sounds so poyo...) :-

1. Fete De La Musique 2004 @ Berjaya Times Square
- Ampeg combo amp (forgot how many watts) - DI-ed to the console.
- sounds good on my monitor but some of my friends complain they can barely hear it up front.

2. Fete De La Musique 2005 @ One Utama
- Ampeg combo (the same Ampeg, yesh)
- not D.I'ed.
- since we playing at a small space (at the rainforest area in the new wing), everybody can hear it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Get a Fender! Get a lesser amp...
Think about it...you definately bring your P-Bass everywhere...but not your amp

The Fender cannot be 1.5k...should 1.8k.

American P-Bass is RM 5k.
Except for Highway 1 Series it's 2.5 - 3k. Made in USA but diff material in finishing and some hardware.
I suggest from the 3k, buy the Behringer BX1200 and get Highway 1 P-Bass

The thing about pricing in online shop, they are different with physical shop. Somemore we talking about buying stuff in Malaysia. So the price are totallty different...somemore u know la how Bentley markup prices ritee...if you really want it cheap, Ebay.com is the way

I forwarded your dilemma to some of Jamtank's Bassist thread forum for further clarification and idea, this is what they suggested.

1. For amps, even for 100w you will be underpowered by your guitarist as heard by your audience especially in open air situation. (as told by a veteran sessionist and jingle composer)

2. So for that, it's better to DI you bass to mixer. Add a good pre-amp/DI like SansAmp, off you go! (suggested by a sound engineer)

Setting your budget higher can improve lotsaa things

Well, for the Warwick Thumb 5, u can check it out at JS Music (same row with CK Music), Jalan Imbi. Although I'm not sure if it's still there or not. For the Thumb 6, then you gotta to arrange with the owner.

Monny : Relaxx...don't let you GAS blind you...HAHAHAHA The cheapest 6-string I ever saw is Samick's 6 string...i think around 1.4 - 1.6k...but that was looonggg time ago
