For those of you with Amazon Prime - found this bass-fest (whilst searching for the Stanley Clarke bio-film which I don't think is on there.) So if you're into Andrew Gouche, Damien Erskine, MonoNeon, Janek Gwizdala and Hadrien Feraud it's worth a watch. It's pretty much unrelenting shredding over standards and gospel grooves. So cue peeling 32nd notes from super high-end basses - MTD & Fodera particularly. Stand outs for me were Hadrien who is freakishly nimble and articulate and MonoNeon for having a bit of personality.4 points

Can’t wait to hear what you have to say about this bass! I have to say I predict greatness too - if not from you then at least from the bass itself3 points

1967 Gibson EB-2 Bass in very good optical and technical condition (see pictures). The bass has the following, fully reversible mods/upgrades: * The original bridge has been replaced with a "Hipshot Supertone" bridge (better intonation, better definition and string height). The original bridge with the mute is included (see last photo). * The original push/pull tone switch has been replaced by a three-way toggle switch that allows, additionnally to the access to the two original tone circuits, a direct access to the motherbucker PU (details about this mod can be found by googling Gibson EB-2 Triple Bybass Modification) A push/pull switch (probably not original) is included. * The damaged original nut has been replaced by a new bone nut by a professionnel luthier. The bass comes in its original, battered Gibson case pics: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mb4qiv5eyw4c7yg/AACa1H8Df1mbU_aojr3LzkBAa?dl=0 2700€, shipping incl. about me: Basschat: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/64788-feedback-for-gillento/ Talkbass: http://www.talkbass.com/feedback/gillento.63576/ ebay: http://feedback.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=gillento&ftab=AllFeedback" onlybass: http://forum.onlybass.com/index.php?/user/1617-gillento/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gillento2 points -

Can't say enough about my Spector NS5 XL. Bought in 2000. Issue no.18. In that time I've had one pot changed. Had a Warwick Steamer before that. Heard they stole the design from Warwick and sought one out. Can't play anything else now.2 points

I'd expect them to sell the instrument. They set their rate and I agree to it or not and set the price accordingly. The rate itself is irrelevant. The commission, in many cases, includes VAT.2 points

Lovely story, enjoyed reading that so thank you for sharing. I think I have one of your old basses, a teal green 2eq Music Man Stingray with maple neck. Mega light for a Stingray and I named her Sinead 😊2 points

True. But sometimes one just have to take a leap of faith and risk it. If I don't like it, back it'll go, I'll lose postage costs but that's the only way to try one around here it seems. It's all because of this damn snow... it's given me far too much time to think about toys! In fact, if it weren't for the snow... instead of clicking "buy now" I'd have been driving to a gig! But it has been cancelled due to the weather. I'll call the bass "Snow". I should receive it on Tuesday... but I would not be surprised if there are still some delays as there must be a huge backlog with just about every courier.2 points

I had the strangest experience in GAK once. Went in for a wander, decided to buy some guitar strings on the way out, to be polite... Me: Hello, can I have a set of D'Addario nickel 11's please? GAK man: Have you tried these? (Ernie Balls) Me: Ah, yes, tried them many times but I prefer D'Addarios, so just those, cheers... (points to strings in question) GM: Have you considered these (gets a packet of Rotosounds and goes into a long and confused explanation about wrap material) Me: (eventually realising he's trying to push stainless) Er, no, I use nickels. Can I get the D'Addarios? GM: What guitar do you play? Me: (a bit exasperated now) Eh? They're for a Gibson ES330. GM: Ah, you don't want them. You want 10's. Always, always use 10's on a Gibson. Me: Seriously, mate... this guitar's had nickel 11's for 20 years. GM: (firmly) You should try the 10's. Me: Uhh... forget it. It was so, so bizarre. And a bit aggressive, and unfunny. I can only assume the assistants were having a bet or something amongst themselves. I hope he lost2 points

My first bass was an unlined fretless, so they just feel right. Funnily enough, other than some Bruce Cockburn albums that have obvious fretless sliding playing on them, I'm not a fan of the "mwwahh" sound. I like fretless playing that you wouldn't know was fretless by just listening (Boz & Kenny Passarelli). Maybe Jaco's status as a bass "god" influences people to try fretless. Personaly I don't have any music with Jaco playing on, but maybe I should.1 point

Bass looks ok to me in the photo. If its a genuine American 74P bass i would have thought £1200 wasn't too bad. I'm no expert in them to be fair so i'll be curious to see what comes back on this thread. Like a nice maple neck You can pick up a decent case for not a lot anyways. Dave1 point

I spent years living in Finland, I can deal with snow, but over here there aren't many snowplows out, and most people don't have winter tyres (we rarely get these conditions) and so it's not your own driving that can be a problem, but other people who can't deal with snow. And then the audience is not likely to be huge either. I had two gigs booked for this weekend, but both have been cancelled.1 point

Been chatting with Bas for a few months now and finally bought a couple of pedals from him. i must reiterate what had been said! A more honest caring and genuine human being you will not meet. He even let me pay him after a few weeks as he knew I wanted the pedals and have been temporarily unemployed. A true gent! many thanks Bas1 point

I hope all of you guys can get here in time! I read that Sander de Gier’s flight got cancelled and he’s on a boat, and more people from Holland are in trouble. I’m in a pub with a beer. Come say hi at the Eich stand tomorrow!1 point

This is an interesting thread for me at the moment. Having just quit my band of 6 years, I've lost all desire to play. Still listening to a bit of music everyday, but only picking up a bass for about 30 minutes a week, and that's if I'm lucky, or simply bothered. I simply don't have any desire to play, let alone join bands. I just feel like I've got as good as I ever will, and done with the instrument what I'm capable of. I've decided to give it 3 months. I'f by then I'm in the same mindset, then I guess I'll accept it, and realise that it's time to move on....then they'll be a bumper sale of stuff on here! ...or like the OP, pick up a uke!1 point

I have just changed my opinion. My Maruszczyk Jake 5 has just arrived! I spec'd it high and, with an SKB hard case, came in at £1600 - I don't think I could have got a better bass for the money.1 point

the figuring on the fretboard is just gorgeous. Gotta love a bit of birdseye maple!1 point

Living in Norn Iron as I do, there didn't seem to be much chance to play one before buying until Black Coffee of this parish (who lives about 6 miles from me) put his ACG Graft 5 up for sale. Totally the wrong spec for me, but gave me an idea of the level of Alan's workmanship. I wasn't disappointed. I've had 3 now, and would still have 2 if I wasn't having a self-enforced clear out!1 point

It is a beautiful bass but it's the age old question... is it worth 4/5 times a newish '63 AVRI or a Limelight? Of course it's all subjective and depends on so many different factors such as whether you're looking at it as an investment too. However, I'm not too bothered about future values... I just hope when I pop my clogs that my missus doesn't sell my basses for what I told her I paid for them!1 point

Why on earth would you choose to take exception to me posting that? I was merely attempting to make a whimsical reply on the back of the previous post. I linked the previous thread to save people repeating themselves whilst also sharing the info already contained within it. Peace1 point

Mine is a Q5 Pro, I have kept it for sentimental reasons - I didn't have an eBay account when I got it, my best mate bid on it for me. A few years later he died in a car crash after being diagnosed with terminal cancer so I can't bring myself to sell it.1 point

GOTOH Pre CBS Vintage Relic Reverse Tuners £75 Posted!!! SOLD!!! I bought these for a “roadworn” precision project, but I actually bought a real Fender 50’s Road Worn last week, so these are now surplus to requirements. They are exactly the same tuners that are on the Fender 50’s Road Worn series and were purchased in the USA, they are very hard to find in the UK and cost silly money if do manage to find a supplier. I will ship them in the original box.1 point -
