[quote name='ShaunB' timestamp='1416312178' post='2608870'] Well, I'm Canadian, eh? So, right continent, wrong country, but living here now, so I'll crank up the Bentley and drive down to Absolute, where they'll look at me like I'm an alien... they'll probably be having a "Bring or Take" sale... ;-) [/quote]

[quote name='StringPing.com' timestamp='1416308617' post='2608828'] Hmm... it's hard to say what would suit. Maybe the best thing is to bring it to your local music shop and see what they can do? [/quote] I say old chap, unless we are from the States, we take it to our local music shop

A renowned classical sitarist playing dub bass

Each time I check out these vids, I like it more Thanks for posting Nige. I'm off to take my ma to hospital in a minute, so will revisit this upon my return. -
if the precision pup is in the same position as on a standard p bass, then I would expect the sound to be the same.

This has been replaced with a more substantial one and decent cables.[/center] [center]I believe that everything else is original and as it left the factory.[/center] [center]The case is decent quality, plush lined and all catches work as they should.

Does seem like a good price. Will you be firing up the Discreet mobile and heading for Hereford?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1416017308' post='2606255'] Worst gig experience of my life... and to top it all off, the Jack sockets on BOTH of my basses failed on me, despite me taking them into a local well regarded shop to get serviced to make sure they'd be in top shape. I ended up so humiliated and upset that I walked off stage mid set. I pride myself on my reliability, and in my 11 years gigging experience nothing even close to yrhis has never happened to me. Currently feeling like my reputation is in tatters, hoping I don't cause too much sh*t when I storm into the shop tommorrow... [/quote] Feel for you mate. That is amazingly bad luck to have both basses fail Let us know how you get on at the shop.

Very fairly priced, does need a new pick guard though. Nice looking bass.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1415809872' post='2603995'] My newly purchased MKIII sixer has had a chance to settle in since it arrived last week, turned up in an apocalypse proof flightcase which weighs approximately four tons... W17195 Shedua facings; Not had a chance to take any proper pictures yet, but I'll do a proper NBD thread when I get the chance. I'm loving the tone, so much so that I'm selling all my other basses... I have a MKIII sixer of my own being completed next year and I can't see me using anything other than a Wal in the future. What are some of you guys favourite settings? I'm enjoying amongst others; Neck pickup - 2 (not pulled up) Bridge Pickup - 10 (not pulled up) Balance - 3 notches from full neck pickup Volume - 10 (pulled up) [/quote] Impressively handsome beast

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1415801681' post='2603918'] I've never owned a G&L and profess that I've always been put off by the headstock...I didn't know until quite recently that the original headstocks were smooth babies like these. Now I'm getting a bit of GAS. P [/quote] Honestly, these old G&L's deserve much more appreciation than they seen to receive. I love the vibe of my old Fender P's. I love my Wal for its Walness. I love my Dingwall for the build quality and components but for me, none of them have the presence or power of the G&L's.

Although both of these basses have appeared on the forum previously, I thought that now they reside together, it was time for a couple of new pics. The white one is an '87 that I've gigged with regularly for the last few years. The black one is an '83 that until a week ago lived with Discreet. I've yet to play anything more powerful than either of these [url="https://flic.kr/p/q2J9zt"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/pKn9PB"][/url]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1415736073' post='2603275'] Phwooar! Eh? Eh? Thanks John. Thanks, Gary. I trust you are still enjoying the '83 SB-2? You know you're only looking after it for me, don't you? [/quote] Fear not the SB 2 is being well cared for. Lovingly cleaned/polished and even taken out for a change of scene at the weekends. -
I wouldn't be worried, it can take it, that's what it is there for. Unless you were very heavy handed and over tightened, you won't be causing any damage.
