trying to find a new toy.

Sardon · 09-20-2004, 05:40 AM

I'm trying to find a new bass. Something with 6-strings and small string spacing because I mainly play fingerstyle and tapping. I was thinking about yamaha's John Myung signature, but is it worth it? Also I would like to know the string spacing of that. I haven't found it yet. Price range is about 1000 € or less. if someone could suggest something to me It would be nice.

There's normally loads of JM1's going around second hand because they can be quite a heavy beast to play. The new JM2 is lighter, but also more expensive. You could also consider the TRB, as well as the Ibanez SR.

I like the look of those Ibanez SRs - a properly stylish bass is hard to find, but that's a good 'un

Alma · 09-20-2004, 06:07 AM

Check out ibanez btbs and sr range. also look at brice and cort curbows

Thunder Fingers · 09-20-2004, 07:25 AM

The ibanez SR Prestige 3006E's are realy good looking, and are supposed to be great to play to...

popinfresh · 09-20-2004, 07:41 AM

^^And like 400 bucks more

I want one. They look **** hot.

How much do SR's go for in america? (New and used generaly)

Wintermute · 09-20-2004, 07:50 AM

Also in the UK - I'm curious too!

Sardon · 09-20-2004, 07:53 AM

Does brice have a webpage? I didn't find it.

Curbow 6 Looks nice and the price ain't bad either. I think I'll stick in the BTB406QM or the SR3006E but I need to look more. I still have month or two time until I get the money to buy a new one. So I'll look some more.

Wintermute · 09-20-2004, 07:54 AM

Woo... a lot...

I'll look into some others too, I think.

BTB406 is like 600 dollars.. SR3006E is like $1200.

Your comparing a prestige with a standard there.

Wintermute · 09-20-2004, 08:11 AM

FunkRhythm · 09-20-2004, 08:48 AM

i think the best sounding 6ers are the john myung, a peavey gring bass, and any 6er from warwick

wonder_steve · 09-20-2004, 09:00 AM

Does anyone have an audio file of the john myung?

FunkRhythm · 09-20-2004, 09:21 AM

FunkRhythm · 09-20-2004, 09:24 AM

i play in a funk/blues/jazz/rock band and i was wondering.......is a musicman stingray a good buy?

sixdegreesofinnerturbulence · 12-19-2004, 06:59 AM

i kno a local player who's proper into funk and he has a musicman sub. its sounds awesome for wat he does and must hav an ideal feel too the kinda **** he does, so im guessing It cant be that bad. Also, for rock its pretty kewl i kno that, and I know sum1 else whos uses a music man for jazz, and it seems to fit too..... in the end, try one out, if it suits you go for it dude
