If my G&L JB goes, I’m ’avin this. -
Ah ok. Could you send some pics over please? 😊 -
FOR SALE OR TRADE G&L Tribute Series JB jazz bass, listed as Lake Placid Blue but actually is more like a metallic ice blue - very nice. Hard rock maple neck, rosewood fretboard with block pearl inlays, G&L saddle-lock bridge which is magnificent and makes this bass sing. Controls are standard volume/volume/tone. I’ve played this on and off for around 18 months but haven’t touched it for a while now as I have other basses I use more often. There are a couple of tiny imperfections (very small dents in the paintwork but not through to the wood) which I have tried to photograph - one on the top horn and one by the control plate that were there when I bought it brand new. These are barely noticeable and obviously do not detract from its playability. Strung with a fresh set of Fender nickel-wounds 45-105. £320 collected or £350 shipped. Located on the Isle of Wight, but can meet at any of our ferry ports (Portsmouth/Southampton/Lymington/Southsea). I have a box I can ship it in (will bubble wrap the hell out of it), will probably use Royal Mail as they seem to be the best of a bad bunch. Trades considered for: Yamaha BB 5ers: BB415 (orange or white) BB615 (pewter) BB425x (white) G&L Tribute Series L2500 Sire P7 5 string (White/White/Maple or White/Tort/Rosewood) with cash my way or yours depending on what’s on offer.

Got my first short scale yesterday. Fair to say I’m smitten. 😊

Warwick Red Label strings, anyone tried 'em?
Grassie replied to stingrayPete1977's topic in General Discussion
I used to swear by them. But the last two sets I bought were poor; set one were corroded near the ball end, with a dead E string, set two were a little better but again, the E string was noticeably duller sounding than the rest of the set. I moved over to Fenders. -
Why can’t I buy coloured pickup covers for a jazz bass, that aren’t black, white or cream?

Would you be interested in a trade...? -
Oh man... too close to Christmas, and I've just spanked the credit card on a new amp...
-
Oh stop! Can anyone smell GAS?
-
Nah, they're not the same are they? The OG Gibbos were never PJ configurated. But that T bird is quite nice:)
-
I don't like: Burst finishes 3-point bridges Active basses (except for Stingrays) Pointy basses (BC Rich in particular) Most of these horrible hand made things that are made out of cr@p like woodworm-riddled slabs. Pretentious nonsense.
-
Very nice! Can't understand why Epiphone don't do a version of this, or a non-reverse Tbird...

New combo purchased (GK MB410 II), had the 2 x 10 combo serviced, took it to a rehearsal on Wednesday and had it running for a couple of hours straight with no issues. Gigged it last night and the distortion issue came back again, so have spanked the credit card on the new unit - £699 from Polar Audio. Not bad considering Andertons list it for £1200... My 2 x10 ext cab is up for sale on BC if anyone is tempted, but I'm not sure what to do with the old combo. Maybe list it anyway and invite offers...
-
Given that I don’t have funds for a new combo at the mo, I think I’m gonna have to go with a head to go with this cab for now, until I can squirrel away enough for a new rig. Any recommendations for a suitable head to match this cab welcomed… 😊
