Sounds legit to me, take your share. The songs wouldn't be the same without your input.

Does he write the bass lines and tell you what to play?

2023 though, that seems insane

"Be with you shortly, just cooking up some bass lines"

You after a particular colour? I've seen limited stocks of gold and red still going around... EDIT: Andertons have 1 red and 1 gold left. PMT have gold. Bax-shop has red. Thomann have black. No luck with green. Now suspecting that it's green you're after

I was looking for something specific - I do not respect this Black Friday "tradition" at all, but Andertons are having a bit of a price blitz on G&L Tributes: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars?#facet:3074457345616676675713876327111710511697114115&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:3&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:& £250 for a G&L Tribute JB-2? Not my thing at all, but 7 lucky folk are going to get a bargain. When the prices go back to normal you could probably sell it second hand for £250!

What a bummer! Get some Lemsip down you and hope you can make it through. Good luck!

Bands are like buses? Good on you, hope it all works out.

Come on @Fishman, don't leave us hanging...

At £250 could you stand a Tribute? You could probably sell it for that when you finally find a USA one... https://www.andertons.co.uk/g-l-tribute-jb-2-bass-in-sonic-blue-clear-satin-neck-brazilian-cherry-fingerboard

If anyone's after their current stock of Olympic White/black guard/cherry fingerboard/blocks Tribute LB-100s, Andertons have chopped a ton off the price - down to £349. I think that's a steal for such a bass. https://www.andertons.co.uk/g-l-tribute-lb-100-bass-in-olympic-white-3-ply-black-pickguard-vintage-tint-gloss-neck-with-brazilian-cherry-fingerboard If I wasn't so struck by the colour of the impending models and so determined to get the Emerald Blue I'd have found a way to jump on this. Help me get my blue one by clearing out the white ones

Grateful for what I have but still a bit sad that no-more will a thread like this be pounced on within 2 mins with ten people immediately recommending obbm It was as predictable as gravity.

In the 'Spoons, everyone has equal credit. Sure, most songs are kicked off by someone (generally bringing the lyrics too) but we all contribute to the finished product and we don't rank the importance of the contributions. Unfortunately, this gets a bit messy when people leave (only one so far), so some songs on our upcoming album will be credited to "The Inevitable Teaspoons + A. N. Other". For when they want their quid share of whatever Spotify pays us

I knew there would be times I would not enjoy the post-obbm cables world. This is one of those times. Having said that, ha ha, in your face, I have 4 obbm cables (a 2m, 2x3m and a 5m super deluxe one with muting jacks) - 6 if you count the speakon anaconda and the pedal interconnect he was also responsible for - and I fully expect that these will be the last cables I'll ever need. I feel better now

What's it running just now?

My first Honda Civic was painted in "Deep Adriatic Pearl". Pearlescent dark blue, basically. My current car (Mitsubishi Colt) is "Spicy Red". Quite what makes a colour "spicy" is beyond me, and no I haven't tried licking the paint to estimate the Scoville rating

How are we supposed to help with the scant information you've given us? We need a bit more than "loose" and "they won't keep things in tune"...

All the best, I'm sure you'll smash it. The gig, not the EUB

Are you averse to swapping out the neck yourself? Then you could buy whichever P bass you wanted then swap for a separately procured J neck if you wished

Honestly, f this whiny thread. Waaaaaaaah, why doesn't every shop cater to my every whim? Every shop should have a decent selection of statistically rare basses. It's so unfair! They're doing shopkeeping wrong. They're not, you're doing shopping wrong.

Have you been to the paint mixing bit at B&Q? It's a veritable smorgasbord of daft colour names. I shake my head at some of the highfalutin names that some manufacturers use. "Smoked Almond Metallic" - oh get off your high horse, Epiphone, it's gold!

You went to the Guitar Guitar in Glasgow and it had heaps of basses/5s/fretless/lefties. You went to quite probably the best place for physically looking at basses in the whole of Scotland and thought you'd extrapolate it out to cover everywhere? Did you look in Kenny's or Merchant City? That'll bring you back down to a more average experience, but both of them are still better than some. Then come to Aberdeen. We only have one shop now - a Kenny's which tries to squeeze everything (guitars, keys, drums etc.) in because of its geography and has a bass:guitar ratio of about 4:1. This may seem healthy but there's less space. There is no dedicated floor to basses, there's a corner - and for that we are to be grateful. If there's a 5 or a fretless it's probably there by mistake. There's a cool second hand instrument shop but it's even smaller and the ratio varies but it is invariably worse than Kenny's and of course it's pure pot luck what they have in at any time. I enjoy a visit to Guitar Guitar in Glasgow when I'm down there but believe me, it's anything but normal!

They're already available in the States (of course) so I took a look at Sweetwater who often put up weights of the actual instruments they're selling: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LB100TOW--g-and-l-tribute-lb-100-bass-guitar-olympic-white That poplar one is 9lbs 6oz according to them. Of course there will be variations, wood be woody, but that's your first point on the plot. They haven't posted up weights of the others yet, but I'm sure that'll come. Then you'll have a better idea of the potential fluctuations.

Did you waltz into a shop unannounced and buy any of them?

Oh well, if you've said it now it must be true
