[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.

Good on you all, hope it goes well and plenty more dosh is added to the fund.

Can see why you've been getting yourself all in a lather Mark They are a couple of lovely looking instruments.

Pretty slick, just right for the function market. Will look forward to seeing the next one

Another visit to the Lord Haig. 9 - 12

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1415467544' post='2600692'] So Gary, what made you decide not to wear make-up for this picture...? [/quote]

Hope they expand in to the bass market.

Our first visit to this pub. Any of you played there before? A couple of days back Discreet drove all the way over to deliver his G&L SB2 to me, so that's the bass that will be in use for this gig. Anyway, we are doing two 45 minute sets, kicking off at 9 p.m. This will not be the look for this weeks gig [url="https://flic.kr/p/oXCHu9"][/url]

That seems like a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks for sharing They look great as well.

I've couriered a fair few basses but it always make me nervous, particularly with the more valuable ones. None of the companies seem to offer any decent level of insurance, some will take a fee but it is still not actually insured. To limit the risk I avoid Friday collections, so that the instrument isn't spending a weekend in a depot somewhere.

I always liked his solid playing.

All sorted now
