A weekend bump, still want to sell -
No auto tuner in evidence with this lot. Imagine some of the X Factor lot trying to sing this number
-
Bump for this fine pedal at a very fine price.

Got my daughter one for christmas last year, she thinks it's absolutely brilliant and uses it all the time to nail songs for her band.

Gigged the G&L last weekend through my shuttle six and mark bass cabs. Heavy/thrash metal drummer was depping along with me and the band had four guitars, the bass sounded great to my ears. My wife said she could hear every note, even the duff ones.

Late 90's Fender P deluxe with humbucker - got one?
gary mac replied to bassatnight's topic in General Discussion
I've got one. It's the one in my avatar. I would have to agree that they are a bit special. I didn't realise that they were rare. There have been a few on ebay of late, in fact I'm sure I saw one just last week. I know there are few members on here who are not so keen on them and in particular the active circuitry. I have no complaints though and have found it to be powerful and versatile in use. It cuts through in a very pleasing manner in a band situation, where I dial in both pups but slightly more neck pup than bridge. The only thing lacking in my view, is a passive switching option. It's always worried me that if the battery goes down mid gig then the bass dies. Having said that it has never actually happpened and the battery life is extremely good. It's probably not the bass to go for if you like a traditional P, but in my opinion they look damn fine and sound great. Not too heavy, nicely balanced on a strap and therefore comfortable to gig with. Thoroughly recommended. -
Markbass Little Mark Tube OR Markbass Little Rocker??
gary mac replied to ajerthebadger's topic in Amps and Cabs
When I tried out a fender road worn a few weeks back it was through a little rocker. I thought it was a cracking amp, but at first I wondered what the hell was wrong with it or the guitar. Once I figured that the bass was ok and had a fiddle with the amp settings it sounded great, but only with the tube drive almost off. I'm sure someone will be along soon with more in the way of technical help for you. -
Welcome back. Put up some pics when you get it.
-
I find it surprisingly difficult playing root only bass lines not to put in extra notes. It's a worthwhile lesson in restraint.
-
That's just being greedy. Very nice though, hope you enjoy.
-
Good man, nice job and saved yourself a few bob
-
Looking good.
-
My cheer up track is Roam, by the B52's. Not a fan of theirs but just always enjoy that particular number.
-
It's not just you Bob, I also find this sort of thing deeply annoying. Hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction. All the best, Gary.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='942524' date='Sep 1 2010, 07:32 PM']Any news after the rehersal?[/quote] Hi Pete, the news is, I think it sounded marvelous. I still have to be careful lifting and carryin at the moment, so I decided not to take my rig along and to just use the old Laney combo that resides in the rehearsal room. It has a ripped speaker cone and has been generally mistreated and abused. Despite the combos failings the G&L sounded so good. The pickups seem to be hugely powerful, it really sat nicely in the mix and I could hear it perfectly. Just as importantly for me, it was comfortable to play. We rehearsed for about two and half hours and although I was using a cheap non padded strap I didn't suffer any aches or pains. It's not much lighter than, for example my jazz but just balances nicely, which I find makes all the difference to the comfort factor. I'm looking forward to gigging it at the weekend through my rig. Conclusion so far: Impressed.
-
I've given it a decent set up now and it feels much better. Adjusted the truss rod and action, got rid of all the buzzing but kept it fairly low. I've got a rehearsal tonight for a weekend dep, so I'm looking forward to hearing it through my rig to hear how it sits in a band mix and to get a comparison with my fender P.

Battle of the Squier Jazzes: Classic Vibe vs Vintage Modified?
gary mac replied to lanark's topic in Bass Guitars
A used vmj went for £310.00 on ebay last week, did include a hardcase. Must have been some over enthusiastic/drunken bidding going on. -
Battle of the Squier Jazzes: Classic Vibe vs Vintage Modified?
gary mac replied to lanark's topic in Bass Guitars
No issues with finish or neck joint on my VMJ, but as always with fenders I tried a few first and a couple were rough. Been extremely pleased with my one, done a good few few gigs with it and can't really fault it. All the best, Gary -
A few years down the line it will be harder to find another 72 P, if you wanted to. I don't think I could let it go, but then that's why my house, shed, garage and loft are all full of stuff, that will one day come in handy.
-
Wishing you all the best. No doubt you will be back at some point, bass love never goes away for long.

Strange breed drummers. Wonder what was up with him, especially given what he said about valued friends. Sounds like you did good a good job without him though.

[quote name='Meenie' post='938650' date='Aug 28 2010, 10:25 AM']Maybe having a noodle about with one in a shop might be an idea, a trip to the Bass Centre might be on the cards me finx.[/quote] Is there a Bass Centre again these days?
