This: A whole chain of events lead to me being parted from this beauty which is actually green NOT blue as the photos suggest. Firstly I traded this with Marcus (of Bass Direct fame) for his GB Spitfire after I bought a Rumour which I was (rightfully) very impressed with, thinking that the Spitfire would be a great acquisition. At the time I knew that I shouldn't be doing the trade. I was having sellers remorse before he even left. Even though the Spitfire was a nice bass it was nowhere near as good as the Rumour or the Status. Marcus then traded it with Snook even though we'd agreed he'd give me the chance to get it back if he was moving it on. He didn't. Snook advertised the bass here for more than I'd originally paid for it. I couldn't bring myself to pay MORE to get it back. Snook advertised it at a time when I was working on downsizing - basses that I didn't want to get rid of (but eventually did). Despite wanting the bass back, at the time I was determined NOT to buy more basses. Snook eventually sold the bass to a buyer abroad thus taking it out of my reach - probably forever. I don't ever expect to have this back but if the current owner is reading this - PLEASE PM me!!!

I was more impressed with "No Way Sis" than the band they were imitating...

Genz Benz.... Everybody liked them and had to have one - so much that somebody bought the company (razor acknowledgement). Then they killed it off!!

Fella I traded my SUB for his BBG5S with bought a RBX (no idea which) as a replacement - he wasn't impressed - too trebly. I advised changing the strings.

This Monday morning feeling - Tito Simon

Perfect Day - Lou Reed

White Room - Cream

I was just sending the fella a message...stopped just in time.

Took me a while, but I think this is what you mean I may know somebody who's interested...they're an Aswad fan. Got a link?

Any updates on this?? Has anybody spoken to a Police Officer yet?

Fixed.... Just accept it and move on...

or as Pele would say:

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

...and those are really light strings.

Size of a cow - The Wonder Stuff

I use Lemon oil (how long have I had the same bottle??) on dark wood fretboards ONLY when I change strings and clean the fretboard (together) or if the fretboard looks/ feels dry. I've had basses that really benefitted from being oiled - never known one to have any negative outcome by being oiled.

I've used my Trace Elliot heads with a variety of cabs - TE (obviously), Mesa, Schroeder, Vanderkley and Glockenklang amongst others. I can't remember being disappointed with any of them. If there is a Mathematical equation it'll probably be: TE+ anything = perfection

I may need to retract my positive feedback for Thomann... I'll keep you apprised...

Killing me softly - Roberta Flack

Pick ups are rubbish...

If you're having issues with ringing notes learn the "Floating thumb" technique - several videos on YouTube. It'll be really helpful if you move on to 5 string.

Get your money back and buy an Ashdown.
