Members BigPigPeaches Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Put in an order just now, we'll see if it's still in stock. $106 with shipping, leaves plenty of room to upgrade the hell out of it. Thanks for the heads up 'lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want a $100 active bass. You want a $100 passive you can drop a nice active pre into. My intellectual property curiosity has me intrigued by this offering.

Members Super Bass Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 It could be interesting, I wonder what EBMM are gonna do this time. They're suing Warmoth too! They're the new Gibson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LanEvo Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 I was just thinking along these lines: Rondo Bass (~$90)... plus Moses Graphite MM/G&L neck (~$370)... plus Seymour Duncan or Bartolini pickup (~$100)... plus Bartolini NTMB or Aguilar OBP-3 preamp (~$140)... topped with a black pickguard (~$30)... would make for a pretty kick-ass project bass for under $750 bucks!

Members davis1 Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well why not get a 750 dollar bass?You really can't polish a turd sometimes, but you can try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Why would you put a $400 neck on a $100 bass?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LanEvo Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well why not get a 750 dollar bass?Maybe because it's tough to find a $750 bass with (a) a graphite neck; (b) the flawless fretwork Moses is known for; (c) a Bartolini m.m. humbucker; (d) an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp; and (e) the classic good looks of a m.m. Stingray. You can barely buy an American-made Fender Jazz or P-Bass for that kind of money. A used 'Ray will run at least $250-300 more. On top of that, even some guys with genuine Stingrays upgrade the pickups and on-board preamp: the combo of a Bart humbucker and OBP-3 is pretty sweet! And if you wanted a 'Ray with a graphite neck, you'd better be prepared to open your wallet WIDE. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LanEvo Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Why would you put a $400 neck on a $100 bass?! The way I see it, you wouldn't be putting a $400 neck on a $100 bass...you'd be be putting a $400 neck on a $100 finished body. After all, everything besides the body would be tossed in the trash. Especially if you're like me and have a couple of shoeboxes full of bridges, tuners, knobs, pots, jacks, Schaller strap-locks, etc. collecting dust in the back of your closet. Besides, I think a metallic silver bass with black graphite neck and black pickguard would look pretty hot. Make the Moses neck a fretless and we're in business!

Members t3ch Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 I guess it's not like you couldn't always put the neck on something else. Eh, to each their own, I suppose. Not that I'm one to talk, I plan on completely remodding this MM knockoff. No neck replacement though, just knobs, tuners, bridge, pots, and pups. I'm going to use it as a practice bass to frankenstein together before I order Gecko pieces from Warmoth. Definitely don't want to mess that one up!

Members Thumper Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Warmoth doesn't make MM stuff. Ernie Ball is very particular about who they license to make replacement parts. I've seen pick guards and graphite necks, and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a real job, save some real money, and get a real one...............................................................................Is that directed at me? I guess you don't consider "medical doctor" and "professor of medicine" to be real jobs. Incidentally, don't we have forum rules in place to discourage 12 year olds from making insulting (and non-contributory) posts around here?
