I wasn't bothered about it until my current rig. It's a bit of a cheat because one is a combo (but what is a combo but a cab which happens to have an amp built into it?) but Markbass Mini CMD 121P IV Markbass New York 121 The matching size and appearance does please me, ngl.

Tee hee

That would be great in theory, but I'm pretty sure no-one but mods and the original author are allowed to edit posts... Happy to keep an eye on it and grass up any sinners to you on your return if that helps?

OK, I'll bite. Why?

Well, that's me crashed out of gear abstinence for this year and it's time for my full confession (although I'm 1 in, 1 out for the year so far, so could be worse). But I have a good excuse - this bass has been living rent-free in my head for nearly 12 years* and I finally snagged one in the finish I wanted. Black and silver ones pop up more often but I've only seen the purpleburst available two or three times in all these dozen years, so seeing as I'm not getting any younger, I decided a bit of carpe diem was in order. It's a three pickup, Les Paul shaped bass. It has three Greco T-bird-a-like pickups and three volume controls. That's it. Hardware is good quality - a Hipshot B style bridge and Gotoh tuners. It's had a life, there are some dings and scuffs in it but it's taken a polish well, the pickups have buffed up nicely and the fretboard enjoyed a drink of lemon oil very much. Lovely, dark rosewood board, yum. S'pose you'll be wanting some pics... It sounds great - I had a blast through my TC Electronic BH250 into headphones and it's got a lot of mid poke about it - might have to boost my mids a bit less when I'm playing this guy! Using the different pickups in different combinations makes noticeable changes to the tone, but it's not quite the same as having a tone knob - I might mod it but I'm not in a hurry. * TWELVE BLOODY YEARS - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/210350-sorted-greco-3-pickup-les-paul-bass/

Well folks, that's me bowing out. I have just taken delivery of a bass which has been living rent-free in my head for about 12 years. A Greco LGB-700, three pickup. More pics later, but it needs a bloody good clean, new strings and a setup. There will be mucho bass fettling tonight. And in case you're wondering about how I know about the 12 year thing...

Bloody singists, eh? I use one of these for such requests (up 1, down 2 etc.)...

Great gig last night with Nine Lives at the Tolbooth in Ellon, NE Scotland. Small but vocal crowd of folk who were right up for a singalong. Someone even came up to speak to me at half time about my bass, the Reverend having caught their eye - that's a rare occurrence! We put a new (to us) song in the set and played it pretty well, so happy with that too. Got lots of nice comments after the gig, they were a chatty bunch! Dunno if it'll come to anything (because even lovely, polite and enthusiastic drunk people forget stuff), but we did get an enquiry about playing at someone's wedding, they enjoyed the show that much. Gear was the Sire D5 followed by the Reverend Triad into the usual Markbass toan cubes. Footwear by Vans as usual, pink suede this time - sorry, forgot to photograph them!

Buy one. If you don't like it, send it back. Carpe diem! In planetary terms, you're gonna die soon. Convinced?

You really have wandered into the wrong thread, haven't you?

This is savagery of the highest order! Also, I got my hopes up because when I saw the title of the thread, I got excited about a bitsa I made nearly 2 decades ago being back on the open market...

I really think it's sarcasm. Go read it again?

You did miss it - sarcasm is dripping off of it. "Misinformation" in this context means "facts which don't fit my narrative".
