This has now gone.

I have an unused and unwanted hard case which is free to a good home for anyone who can collect from Harpenden. Its just a generic case but it snugly fits a G&L L-2000 to give you an idea of size.There's wear and scrapes on the outside but inside is fine. thanks Robin

I would also be interested in peoples opinions. I've tried the iRig and it's OK but not great (nice and portable though!!) and my iPhone has now died so I'm looking at a possible replacement. The latest Tascam mp3 trainer (GB-10) hasn't got great reviews and I don't think it has the ability to drop the bass out like the old CD versions have. So any experience of CD-BT2 compard to the mp3 versions would be great and also comparisons to the latest Pandora (5) would be appriciated. Thanks

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1167241' date='Mar 18 2011, 03:02 PM']How about a Thumb 5 BO? If you want something similar to your SR's neck, I think they're quite jazz-shaped. You could start there. [/quote] I'd be tempted if I wanted a 5 string... But I struggle enough with 4!! :-) Thanks for the suggestions so far. I also have a G&L L2000 Tribute which I used to love playing until I got the SR500 and found that neck much more playable. I keep trying with it but I'm sure it doesn't sound right at the moment. I need to take it to a decent luthiers and get it checked out - local guitar shop said it was fine but it still sounds wrong to me. A trip to the Bass Gallery is required.... So while I'm there I might as well try a few other basses out :-) I definitely want to try some Warwick's but not sure which models and a Fender Jazz or 2 are on my list. I'm also happy to try bigger necks again so will probably pick up a P of some description.....

I currently play an Ibanez SR500 which I love - It's so easy to play and has a good range of tones, however I've just been paid a bonus and can afford another bass. I play good old pub rock at the moment but I want some think that will be versatile enough incase that changes. Budget is probably about the £1000 mark and i'm happy to go 2nd hand to get the most for my money. I've always loved the look and sound of Warwick's but never got my hands on one yet so some feedback on the pro's and con's of the different models would be great. If possible I would like something that's a bit different in sound to the SR but still with a similar neck :-) I'm hugely tempted by the Warwick Streamer LX 4 thats in the for sale section (if it hasn't gone!) but am loath to spend that sort of money without having even tried out the make and model. I know that what ever I get the best way is to go and try as many as possible and see what I like but I'd quite like a short list before doing this. Any suggestions????

My second ever gig in my local pub - Gibraltar Castle in Harpenden. We are a rock/Indie covers band. Went down amazingly. We have only been going for about 8 months and have 19 songs gig worthy... We played those and then the crowd (and landlady) wanted us to play more... So we played a bad version of Times Like These (we haven't got it gig worthy yet!!) but it still went down well... We ended up replaying 3 songs to which half the pub where dancing away. Awesome night!!!!!

[quote name='Spacehog' post='940591' date='Aug 31 2010, 05:24 AM']I was thinking of the possibility of using a preamp like a Hartke VXL and then going straight into a cheap but powerful power amp like this one [url="http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Skytec-Stereo-Power-Amp-1000W/BID"]power amp[/url][/quote] Why go power amp? For not a lot more than those 2 new you could get a new Hartke LH500 - 500W into 4 ohms. I would have thought this would be enough power.... Keep an eye out for a second hand one in the classifieds and get it for even more of a bargain!

I forgot to put my gear down ... I'll be using an Ibanez SR500, through a Hartke L500 into an Ashdown Mag 210.

7 nation army by the White stripes hopefully tomorrow night at the young age of 38!!! Playing in my local pub -the Gibraltar castle in Harpenden Fingers crossed it goes well... I'm a tad nervous already.

Will bought an old amp off me. Very quick payment and brilliant communication. Great guy to deal with.
