newmel: welcome! just wondering, is that a conklin by any means?

jcyh: very happy hor get btb, hehehe. make me jealous only...

lordie: i think i might need to sell the amp u sold me . am relocating to jakarta but facing financial issues . hw much u think i shud sell ar? so sad la, such a great amp... sighs...

Hehe, industrial training lo, nice place rite? especially for musicians..

Nagato: why dun u consider aguilar tone hammer (carried by js music)? shud be cleaner than sansamp, at least, dat's wat i heard from ppl so far la. I know melodia musik in jakarta sells it, so if u want, i can carry it back for u on july 2nd when im doing my hop out hop in.

lordie: why wanna sell? aiming for a bigger cab and head ar?

welcome . Go and try and let us know how nice it is yea.

Why? been doing a lot of gigs lately ar?
yeah, heard of them. the little mark or smth? how light can the mb-2 be?
Also aiming fr a new cab?

stagg is pretty brilliant, i'd rather a stagg anytime more than yamaha or ibanez. At least they're more slap and harmonics friendly, .
dun get me wrong yea, I'm speaking about the entry level basses only yea.

newmel: what kickass sadowsky u have there, really wish i had some extra blings with me now...

lordie: true true...

dlwl: oh yea, another cheap way of getting out from being stuck in a rut, is to play ur basslines reverse .

dlwl: definitely, but try the bass first tho, u might nt like the feel as some of the stagg j basses have a rather thicker neck with jumbo-er frets compared to the yamaha or ibanez counterparts. My fingers are rather long so i thought they played well. Tone wise, a hint of fender tone is quite evident, somewhat like the SX kind. The body is significantly heavier, and some stagg basses do have some quality issues, so do check properly before buying. But price wise, for smth cheaper than ibanez or yamaha entry level basses, i think the stagg's tone rocks more. Try the slap pop tone on the ibanez gsr, compare it with the stagg and u'll know wat i mean.

Basslines reverse? like some of the improvisations u do to a song rite, say u like to do this: descending: Do - ti- la - fa - mi - re -do

do this instead: ascending: Do - re- mi -fa - la -ti -do

(combination of 16th and 8th notes, depends on the rhythm tho)

MIM Standard Jazz? For the price difference, the squier makes more sense. Especially the vintage modified models, for rm1250, u can get one dat sounds as good, plays as good or some even better (some even better craftsmanship) than a rm2300 entry level MIM. If you're going for MIM, the good ones are the deluxe models, don't bother the standards.. Also, for the price difference, might as well get the VM and mod it with new pups and fit in an audere or a aguilar obp, dat would certainly blow the standard away..

Btw, tried the sterling stingray bass @ bentley, really not impressed with it, not properly setup, costs a bomb (rm4k), neck is pretty rough for such an expensive bass, and it really didnt play or sound as well as its predecessor, the OLP.

I dunno, ive tried a couple of MIMs dat were very disappointing and a lot of squiers that exceeds expectations each time. The odds are good for squier tho, but u're right, a lot of bad squiers around, altho im lucky to nt come across them, im speaking on behalf of the affinity and vintage modified series only yea. california series sucks, no question about that. anyone tried the vintage vibe series? according to sujesh, they're kinda kickass.

Which sales? 999bucks as in ringgit???!!

freakfingers: erm, i cant see why a bass cannot be slapped . Even if the action is too high, as long as u can fret the bass, it should still be slappable. only difference is the slap tone. i know certain ibanez gsr(s) have really bad slap tone, stock action set really high, but still slap-popable.
Bass amp? the one last time u wanted to buy frm me wan la, hehe. but sold to jcyh adee . i know bentley last time had a sale for the marshall mb-15s, they're quite impressive fr such small amps.

yeah, very infamous jazz bass. geddy lee himself, of course, is the god of bass, alongside cliff burton, rest in peace..

yah, +1 for amplug, if just for practice...

lol, that's coz ur house is big, u rich feller .

lol, don't ask me, i just sold off all my bass stuff except my humble 600ringgit sx jazz . cannot remember hw much i spent on my previous stuffs tho..

I'm stuck in jakarta with no cash and no bass currently.. .

Extremely expensive indonesian visa and living costs.. couldnt bring my bass over coz too much hand luggage already, . klm was already kind enough for letting me on board with the amount of hand luggage i was already carrying..

Industrial training, haha..

sounds like u either shud aim for ur bacchus or a fender jazz bass, hehe. once u have a jazz bass, i guess, ur GAS issue wud rest for quite a while... . so much fun playing with the bridge pickup, the tones will never cease to amaze u. Try to get a passive jazz rather than an active, more fun playing with a passive, really. Switch the strings with a set of DR high beams and u're good to go. put both neck and bridge pups and the tone at max and slap pop away.

what pups? as in which pickups to fit in? erm, even stock fender does the job quite well. Maybe dimarzio ultra jazz is a good option as well.

wah lordie, aiming for little mark + new cab ar? get hydrive 8 x 10 ler

lordie: the wick u brought on board airasia ar? checked in or cabin?

lordie: where do you put in the cabin leh?

i don't think 9k++ is enough to get all his stuffs ler, haha.

lordie: Your wick so long, put on the overhead, didnt get any problems with the stewardess?
