G&L Tribute LB-100 if you want something similar to your P bass as a backup but just subtly different enough to justify itself in its own right?
-
-
Purple L-1000 (as a standard factory offering) is no more for now according to the G&L website - it's been replaced with Matcha Green - a retrograde choice in my opinion, it's nae the bonniest finish in their catalogue! If it's got to be purple then you'll have to order one specially, or wait and hope on the second hand market.
-
Yes, it was Andertons.

Price dropped to £3750? I'm somewhere between poor and getting by, so I nearly spat my tea out. Then I realised I could have bought my current car twice over for that and be left with change and it didn't help with the tea retention. Having said that, GLWTS! -
Ahh, too late. I've got some spares. Oh well, so do you now
-
That's pretty good, or at least it's above the lower end of the scale I outlined
-
Hate to say it because I wish it would change, but "welcome to the Internet".
-
I don't think you'll find much help here - I think you'll need to start an entirely new site for this sort of thing!
-
Just thought I'd check and take the opportunity to make the distinction - as I'm sure you're aware (not everyone is, it seems) it's wildly different for originals bands, you're minted if you "make it", but at the other end of the scale it's £50 after doing the promoter's job for them and expected to be grateful that your existence was acknowledged, nothing or even worse ... pay to play. I physically shuddered as I typed that last bit!
-
Presumably you're talking about covers band fees here. Aberdeen city and shire - £250-400 depending on distance/ballache to get to the venue. Out in the sticks tends to pay better than the city.

But, but, think of the children! You can't take bass X to gig Y!

I miss my G3

LOL BWBWB FTW IMHO

Good job, and I also think that's a mighty fine looking bass - liking the trans blue over the quilted top - looks like water.
-
I do the wristband trick. I look like a craddock but at least I'm a craddock without red marks on my forearm. The feedback can be fun to play with if you mean to do it. Otherwise, some extra diligence with string muting while playing is sometimes required if you can't avoid being close to your amp.

Sure, let's have a 10 day update. I'm still in FWIW.
-
Please document the reason for your disqualification
-
You're talking about this fairly regular, rounded off body shape like it's a BC Rich Warlock or something! I wouldn't bat an eyelid at this bass turning up at any gig regardless of the genre because it's pretty conventional but modern to my eyes. Is it the name that bothers you enough to pigeonhole it? Is it the slightly gothic/churchy inlays? Genuinely interested to know where other people's lines are drawn on these things.

I'm no wood expert, but I must commend you on your Gibson Ripper knowledge. When they weren't maple, they were alder, and it was mid 70s that happened - 75/76. I had a 1975 alder bodied Ripper and it was pretty light
-
Don't let this happen to you...clean your strings!

A bump for a fine bass which has been hanging around far too long. The Tribute M-2000 (no longer in production) is a fine bass - a no nonsense, 2 pickup, 18V active, 3 band EQ bass with a lovely neck which is half way between a P and a J. This one in particular is a limited run with the body binding and carved top. I would be tempted myself as it's bloody gorgeous and I've had a Tribute M-2000 before, but right now I'm aff it (gear abstinence) GLWTS -
I know, I used to watch the Dukes of Hazzard too and just think it was a cool pattern on the roof of the General Lee (which was also just a cool, made up name for a car). Oh dear.
