    Fun stuff last night - we in the house band did a favourite piece of mine in the opening set. No other pianists turned up but a bass guitarist did, so I was asked to comp on guitar for a piece so the pianist could take a break. Fun, but when it came to soloing the audience feedback was that the guitar was hard to hear next to the bass. The bassist's volume seemed OK to me so I wonder how much of was that he was plucking close to the bridge, playing in a high register and using roundwound strings.

    Visually, it looks like a £400 bitsa. Sorry, but it does. Questions: Did they clear all the Woodworms out of their delicious home? (I've seen the resultant damage on plenty of 2-300 year old Cellos.) Why is Lee Anderton trying to hawk a £7k bass when he knows most professional musician's cars aren't worth that much?

    You can't help but suspect that the luthier had an otherwise nice batch of timber that had got ruined by woodworm, and decided to make the best of the situation...

    Yes, they sort of missed a trick here 'organic micro-chambering' It could be a fabulous bass (I'd love to find out) and League is no slouch... but...

    Shaggy dog stories are what make these instruments interesting. Where they came from, why we love them (albeit for a short period sometimes!), and why we covert them. Reminds me of a new Tribute LB-100 I had Andertons get out of the warehouse for me a couple of years ago when G&L did that gorgeous aqua-marine blue. Best sounding P-alike I ever played, but for some reason I bought a Sire gen 2 70's jazz clone instead. Stupid, stupid, stupid. The new SB-2 looks lovely, Neephid. Hope you enjoy it and play the bejesus out of it!

    This is a killer rig. I had the exact same setup and I have also dealt with Matt many times.

    This is a beautiful bass and Matt is an absolute gem.

    Agree with Beedster. The thing is if he wants to do a huge guitar w@nkathon he can do it at home and stick it on YouTube. That is not what you are paid to be performing at Weddings and the like for. We all have to compromise on our ideal to get paying gigs, so the sound should be balanced and clean so that it's enjoyable for the audience who have booked and paid for a function band. As others have said, I have no idea why a lot of bands can't have this grown up conversation.

    Without wishing to open the can, I particularly enjoyed the marketing copy in this at Andertons: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bacci-guitars-amrita-woodworm-michael-league-signature-maple/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUqVDRQwkN1bWBZcEzip5ciCn&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzrzABhD8ARIsANlSWNOy6ZK_8WuK66VSG5h7Z3UTqmDDDEChjBNvC49jOeUAn4kUKGS7GKkaApxEEALw_wcB

    This is very nice. As a G&L aficionado in training I approve 😀 Entirely unselfishly I ask, will this be coming along to the NW + Scotland bass bash?

    They have fixed the bridge and machine heads issue, that @BassApprentice refers to, in the latest Sonic version. I’m not saying you won’t want to replace them with higher quality items but it will be a lot easier to do the swap with a 5 hole Fender style bridge mount, etc. The pickup is still a Strat 6 string thing under the plastic cover. Most people want to replace it eventually and there are various options ranging from purpose made (expensive) replacements and cheaper Strat rail pickups. I had one of the previous models with the two saddle bridge and toy machine heads. After wrestling with the bridge and tuner replacements, I fitted a Tone Rider split P bass pickup with a custom scratch plate (off eBay). After these mods it was a very nice little bass. I imagine the Sonic versions will be just as much fun, with less hassle involved in the upgrades.

    Yamaha Motion MB-II Medium Scale Bass Finish/Color: Cream White Weight: 3.5 Kilogramms Nut Width: 1.5″ Scale Length: 32″ Fretboard: Rosewood Frets: 24 General Neck Shape: C-Shape Pickup Configuration: 2 Double Coil / Passive Vol, Vol, Tone Strings: Thomastik Jazz Flatwound Medium Scale Up for sale is this Yamaha medium scale bass from the late 80s. This little bass punches well above its weight class. I have used it on cruise gigs in a variety of musical situations (Pop, Jazz, Soul from smaller to bigger stages) and it always delivered. It has a full and punchy sound with quite pickups. Neck and fretwork are in great shape and it allows for a very low action. The truss rod works flawlessly but the neck never moves. It does have some battle scars, nothing too extreme and nothing that would take away from its functionality. The bass fits in a guitar gigbag which makes it great for traveling. Its stringed up with Thomastik Jazz Flatwounds which imho are a great match for this bass. If you are looking for a sweet lightweight medium scale bass that spares your shoulders and doesn’t break the bank, this vintage Yamaha could end that search. Price is 420 Euros, its located in Germany and shipping throughout Europe is no problem.

    My neice got one of the new ones recently. It's really nice. Plays really well with a slim jazz neck profile. The out of the box setup was really good. Normal bridge, small tuners that seem to hold well and don't feel too cheap in use. The coral colour is very bright and no images that I've seen do it justice - almost fluorescent in person!
