Please Help...SR4 2 Band vs 3 Band

[Wasabi]

Sound like a win/win to me...at least we know the green won't be knawed at by rats in Pete's back room.

Hopefully, it hasn't already been!

Well *ping* that boy up and locker down.

I'm calling him in the morning...wait...it IS morning here...I mean later in the morning. I think I'm going to need to include a bouquet of roses on the order for my wife.

Did you know Pete also owns a pharmacy??? Nothing calms a wife down better than flowers than lorazepam.

Envy greens are out of production where as the factory is cranking out HH's as fast as they can. Logic dictates...

Flowers help out with the wife when buying basses? Novel idea.

I see some dandilions out back.

I saw this in a movie once. If you can't afford roses, get a bunch of daisies. Then strip the heads off. When you give them to your wife, tell her that they were roses and you were jumped by a gang of bass players. Tell her that you fended them off with minor damage to the "roses" and as they were running off one of them dropped, no, two of them dropped their basses. One being an envy green 2-band. The other being a sapphire black HH.

If she doesn't buy that, tell her you took this advice from a single guy. Maybe she'll have enough pity not to kill you.

Yes, but proof of why Tom is single at the same time.

My wife can yell bull so fast the cows all run away.

What's funny is my wife is very understanding about my equipment. I bought a sapphire black HH at a GC sale a week or so ago, and it just didn't sound that great, so I returned it. But I called her as I was going home and told her about the bass. She commented on how no husband she knows could just buy something like that without consulting her and have his wife totally cool about it like she is.

The main reason, I guess, other than that she is an amazing woman, is that we have worked out a system...Any gig money I make is split 50/50 with her...she is after all home with the kids while I'm out gigging. We put that money in an account, so if I have the $$$ in there, there's no problem. That way, I can feel like a pro, spending less than I'm making doing music ;-) The nice part is that at times, she's let me borrow against tha balance ;-)

This time, as well, it's not as much want as need. For teaching, I need a four. I pretty much only play 5s, although I can't say I won't enjoy having a new axe to wield.

Good thing you don't play Poker...

A 2 band Envy Green is a rare piece....

Especially one that's brand new
On second thought, maybe I won't sell it....


JUST KIDDING! SOMEONE CALL ME AND BUY IT ALREADY!

I'm calling him in the morning...wait...it IS morning here...I mean later in the morning. I think I'm going to need to include a bouquet of roses on the order for my wife.

Ahhhh yes! I'll be there at 10:30. Call before 12:00 please, lunch & the pharmacy dictate that I must leave until 7:00

Hey, folks...My only StingRay has been a single pickup 5, which obviously has a 3 band pre. I'm used to cutting the mids to tame the beast on mellower and funk slap stuff, and bumping the mids for that extra Jaco-ish deal. If I go for the single pickup Sting 4, it has the 2 band. How does one dial in a slap sound with it, and how do I bump the mids? Did any single pickup SR4s have the 3 band? Obviously the Sterlings do. Do you SR4 players like the electronics vs the ones on the Sterling?

I was a Lifer at 2Band Preamps til Mid 80's then the 3 band appeared and Now i think i Love these 3Bands Better. Most amps today can do most anything, but in 1976 there wasn't alot of great choices. DJ

Hey no fair, you need to split your gig money with me. I'm home with the kids. Granted, they are not your kids, but they are still kids!

You won't even notice 4 more around there.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

LOL...see? I knew you had basses to count!!

Ok...fair warning...I just tried to call Pete myself on this one and got a machine and am heading out for a few days...if that green machine is still available on Monday it's coming to AZ.
