bass guitars?

[Strangelight]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a new 5 string bass? As I'm selling mine (the one that was used on Eternity, Alternative 4, Saviour, Lights Out and also used live by the mighty Dave Pybus, George Roberts and Jamie Cavanagh for Anathema) *cough cough*
I is lookin for a Rickenbacker really, any online stores?

 

[Dora]

Selling what and for how much?!?!?
I have a Warwick so I like Warwicks..
how about trading? ..
no.. I cannot give it up, i never sell an instrument. its like selling a child.

what else you require than 5 strings?

I recently picked up a Music Man Sterling, love that bass. Not sure if that real "boingy" tone is what you're looking for, but they make a 5-string Stingray.

Warwick is good, but sort of feels like playing a baseball bat. Awesome tone though.

I've only played one Rickenbacker and it was at a music store many years ago, very different bass. I felt like Lemmy.

http://www.bassnw.com is in the US, excellent pricing and service but not sure if they ship overseas.

The Nikki Sixx model is a must-have too...

Yes...I know...

Here's the better-sounding bass I've ever placed my hands on...even though I don't really like the looks 100% and fretless is still musical chinese to me...

It's a great bass and it is not very expensive even...

im dreaming of a fender jazz bass...it's about $1000.

but dunc how much is yours?

 

[Dora]

mine is like this black one but different pu's (masterman version) see 2nd pic, and it doesnt feel like a baseball brat at all. I like its rounded smooth body, the wood is beautiful. Its not painted just black oil on, so looks a bit gothic, too But 5kg heavy which is much compared to my weight. Has a heavy sound but yeah, it doesnt look like a heavy metal thing.

Are u sure about bying a new one?
some rickenbackers look really weird though.. so i dont think it's unimportant to choose a specific type...

 

[Dora]

Which one would you choose?
4004 Laredo

4003 S/5

4004 LK limited Lemmy (60 pieces):

4001:

vintage ones.... from 1956

or

?

i only know this online shop in germany:
http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/tho0080.html
we've even bougth a huge digital piano from there to abroad.. u can shop tax-free and they have Rickenbacker 4003 for 1490 €. Though it's 4-string but they might get a 5-er one.

oh, and they speak english.. heres the link for UK version http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/thoiw2_index.html prices calculated with 17.5% sales tax.. and "If you are interested in a product which you cannot find in our Cyberstore just feel free to send an email to the respective department and request an offer." see faq. besides the way of ordering u can pick up your thing in their store in germany, too - if u go there in september.. its somewhere around frankfurt (within 100km)

 

[Strangelight]

ah yeah I buy lots of stuff from Thomann like but not the UK version, as I live in Eire

 

[Dora]

Hey, i only wrote uk version cos i supposed u couldnt speak german!!! anyway, i think they have a good deal and can get what u want.. I've been there once anyway, nice big shop..
how is shipping there (to Eire!)? im out of EU, so need to pay customs duty. And you?


edit...........................
oops, i had only an old link to site, never noticed they did so many international versions! sorry, so theres even an Irish one! http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/thoiw6_index.html
Pity you have 21% VAT then its 1555€ at least.
(its only 7.5% in here, so..)
