[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1356815553' post='1914030'] Is it a lined fretless? If not, the marker dots on the side of the neck will probably be "on" the fret, which may or may not disorientate you once the bass is fretted. Worth factoring into the equation.... [/quote] Bass is unlined and has dots where frets should be. Been thinking about it too but I remember how I was thinking that one extra string would do the same thing when I acquired my first fiver after few years playing on four strings, I just had to play and get used to it. From quite some time I was thinking about getting fretless anyway and maybe sell it if it turn that I can't get on with it, but this might be worth keeping after fretting.

I agree that their work is worth every penny, as I said, I had some of my basses done in The Gallery and always was very happy. The thing is that I'm a bit short on cash these days, and on the other side I don't want to ruin high end bass if I decide to keep it. If I remember correctly there was a topic here on basschat where The Gallery offered fretting Wall bass for £150, that's why I was a bit surprised when I checked price list on their website.

Hiya fellow basschatters. I'm recently pending fretless trade but I've never played on fretless before, don't know how I'll get on with it and as the bass will be on the high end side I'm already thinking about fretting it and keeping it anyway. Problem is very simple, I don't really know where to go with this job, I don't want to ruin expensive high end bass. The only place I know is The Gallery, I had few things on my basses done over there and I absolutely admire their solid and professional work and great customer service and I'd love to leave the bass in their workshop, but I just can't currently afford £210 for it. I hope we have someone in London who does this thing for a littlebit less. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Trade pending -
Let me think about this, I really need money for a bike and I'm not a fretless player but Alembic is always tempting

Okay guys, quick story of this bass. I ordered exact copy of this one but with figured walnut top and satin finish. While waiting for walnut one I received this one as I was a bit impatient and while I received this and played for a few hours I phoned mr. Roman Koc (founder) and asked if I can keep this one instead and he agreed. This is by far the best bass I've ever had, a dream one I've been waitin for it whole my life, and now when it is finally here I found myself not playing that much, mostly because sh*tty day job that takes so much of my time and life energy. This is absolutely top of the range GMR instrument, finest quality and craftmanship. This exact bass was reviewed in iBass magazine ([url="http://gmrbasses.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/iBassreviewsite1.jpg"]http://gmrbasses.com...reviewsite1.jpg[/url]). Specs: Body - mahogany with flamed maple top Neck - 3 pcs flamed maple, 2 pcs mahogany and matching headstock fingerboard - rosewood Shaller tuners ETS bridge (16.5 mm spacing on the bridge, you can still adjust it to be a bit wider, but not that much) Bartolini pickups Noll 3 way preamp (originaly had John East but it was changed before they sent it to me, I played on this bass with John East and to be honest I prefer Noll, less knobs and sounds fantastic) High gloss finish Bass is absolutely mint. It is quite light, propably ligther than any four string bass I had and very well balanced, once you strap it on it won't move. It is quite nice sculpted on the back, you almost can't notice it on the pics but it fits great to the body and is very comfortable. This bass is still on the gmr website marked as sold (on the top) [url="http://gmrbasses.com/in-stock/"]http://gmrbasses.com/in-stock/[/url] (these pics shows beauty of this bass far better than my crappy iphone) It was originally priced at £2800 on their website. [size=5][b]Due to my last night accident and broken arm I am forced to be off from work and on a silly sick pay, I can't afford living on a sickpay so unfortunately this need to go asap, and I'll let it go for £[s]1300[/s] [s]1200 ONO[/s] £900, and now I'll throw for free TC Electronic Nova Repeater, TC Electronic Flashback and Boss OC-3 in as new condition and boxed, thats over 300 pounds, this is just a stupid price for a virtually new instrument. [s]Buyer needs to collect as I won't be able to pack it with my broken arm, sorry[/s][/b][/size] my arm is better now so I am able to pack and post it. As a trade I am open to offers in similar used value basses 4/5 strings fretted or fretless. Trades + cash my way are possible but I can't do it in opposite direction due to other non-music releated expenses. [attachment=125972:IMG_1288.JPG] [attachment=125973:IMG_1287.JPG] [attachment=125974:IMG_1286.JPG] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T79BU14c6qw[/media] Can shot few more pics if someone will be interested in specific parts of the bass, but mind that I have just my iphone to shot them and they won't be the best quality, just pop in and see how amazing it looks and feels. Bass can be viewed / picked up from Borehamwood area / north-west London.

First person coming in with 300 in cash could take it home. I don't really want to do it but it is a time to do my CBT and get some bike.

Hey Molan, sorry, missed your post as I haven't been here for a while. And yes, I wasn't interested in Fenders for some time but then I changed my mind. And a backup bump.

NEEDED London based Jazz bass / theory teacher.
mr.noisy replied to mr.noisy's topic in Tutors Available
Hey Floyd, cheers for that, will definitely think about it. -
Hi there, I'm looking for a seriously passionate and experienced teacher in London area. And I mean really passionate freak of sharing his love for music with his students, not only for extra income. I need a guide, a mentor who help me reach my goals. I have quite hard day job and I'm really tired of searching for new books, new methods and new teachers, spending lot of money and not getting too much positive results. I'd like to attend some shool but because of work I can't do it. I'm not a completely beginner, I self educated myself a bit, I know how to read music notation in bass and treble clef (but still not sight), I know basic major and minor scales, basic chords and some other basic stuff but the problem is that I can't organise my practice routines and can't properly choose material to work on as there is soooooooo much books, websites and when I'm getting back home from work completely shattered the last thing I want to do is spending my precious time sailing through thousands informations that makes me frustrate and stressed resulting with another wasted day. All I want is exploring music theory in practical way that will help me become a good musician with solid knowledge and learn everything in well organised order to get the most from my time, build considerable repertoire and technique. I know that all these things come with time and it's impossible to learn everything in one, two or ten lessons and I'm looking for long term teacher, I'd like to meet once a week or two weeks depending on how busy at work I am for as long I'll need it. Moneywise it really doesn't matter for me, I can pay the right money for what I get and as I'm working really hard for every penny I need to feel a reason to get rid of it. What I require is passion first, but as it's about the jazz music I want my teacher to be really experienced and respected player in that genre with references to prove it. So, if you are the right person or you know person who could be right please contact me ASAP! Pat

Price drop --- FS/ GMR Soundboard 4 (new, warranty) - 400£
mr.noisy replied to solartron's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1346142522' post='1785632'] That is remarkably cheap for an instrument of this quality. [/quote] It is, but people seems to be afraid of these beautiful instruments. When i tried to stupidly get rid of mine for even more stupid price there was almost no interest. Same now when I'm trying to trade it. This is a big shame because these basses are extraordinary well, everyone should try one! -

Lovely! -
18" pizza bump!

It seems like I have to play reggae with my bright sounding GMR 'till I receive new one.

Saw your top Jamie, I'm a guy who ordered the one with walnut top, I'll see you at the London Bass Guitar Show mate. I wish to keep this one too but can't afford to buy another bass for side project and this one has a very specific sound. Definitely sounds quite original. And thanks Andrew!

Back up for trade, read first post for details. Here is some sound sample. Mind the strings, they are quite worn Warwick red steels. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnYZGjcv1a0[/media]

Hey, don't get me wrong but I'm just wondering why you'll change the price from 490 to 650 after replacing the nut? Your local shop charging 150 for replacing the nut? If yes - find another shop.

Hey guys, So, I was thinking about taking some online course. I always wanted to go and learn in music shool but it seems like it's too late. I'm working full time and can't attend normal daily shool like ICMP, and part time courses there are more focused on very basic things and I want to learn way more about playing, theory and all that things. I know there is many materials available to do it on my own, I bought many books, I'm looking from time to time at some youtube lessons etc. I'm not a completely begginer, I've been in a music college for a year and a half few years ago but it was more classical shool and I was playing on the trumpet, I know only the very basics of music theory and now I want expand it, but doing it on my own is sometimes quite hard as I don't know how to organise and manage all the informations... So, as I can't attend to normal daily college I was thinking about starting some online course. Some of them are very expensive like Berklee, some are quite cheap like Institute of Bassists. Anyone has any experience? If yes I'd love to hear your thoughts, do you think it is worth it? Which online music shool would be the best? Or maybe local teacher would be better option? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
