pee emmed... -
I had the J one and probably needed the middle one....

I prefer them too. Don't know why but I've just ended up with my main gigging basses being HH ones. Of the mainstream ones available I can recommend the Cort A4 Plus. It's incredible vfm and easy to pick up used. A brilliant neck and great build quality with decent components. I've had some boutique stuff and this is easily up there with them. And if you like knob twiddling try a Warwick Corvette or Streamer $$. The switches add about a squillion tone options to the pickups. I too had a G&L L2000 USA and actually loved the sound in the band mix but couldn't get on with the neck on it. If it had a different neck I would probably still have it.

It's making me think twice about selling it now that I've seen all the extra work it's had done. It's way better than new! 😂 -
I just looked on the 81 Guitar Works site - yep, its in the image gallery. Looks like it had a new truss rod and refret as well. I wasn't aware of that. Bonus!
-
It's highly likely. I bought the bass from a chap in Kent.....

A Fender Rumble 500 combo seems to be the go to response for this type of post usually. They pop up used fairly frequently or a new one is a little bit over budget for you

Or if you happened to have an Ibanez EHB headless bass that you didn't want.....
-
Grabbed a bass from Phil. Great guy - easy to deal with and really knows his stuff. Deal with confidence....
-
I've seen something else I want so open to offers on this now......
-
A rare and amazing amp! GLWTS.... -
I've got a Native Instruments M32 sitting in a box unused since COVID if that's any use to you? Used it for a bit of recording for a few months to stop myself from getting bored before the gigs came back. I doubt I'll use it again (and I'm a supporting member)

Sounds like a traditional Basschat relay is in the offing ...

You need wired headphines for this. It's a bluetooth connection to your phone and the app rather than the headphones. But it's a seriously good bit of kit regardless and a bargain price. I would just get this and a pair of wired phones personally. You're probably looking at a Boss Waza Air if you need bluetooth headphone connection (and a bank loan!) -
The rising prices of new gear usually means the used market flourishes. Not in this scenario though.
-
And this is the issue - no one else seems to have any either.

If you fancied a trip to London then the Bass Gallery in Camden probably has the biggest selection of kit in store. Best to go on a weekday and maybe give them a shout prior to your visit. I popped in to PMT in Old St a few weeks back and there was just one Roland bass combo in there 😞

I can never tell whether an amp is going to work for me unless I've used it at a few gigs. Consequently trying them out in-store has always been a waste of time for me. A perfect example of this was when I tried a Mesa D800, Magellan 800 and Darkglass M900 head to head in PMT. The Mesa and Magellan sounded really good and I didn't like the Darkglass much. I ended up with the Mesa, it lasted 2 gigs with the band. I then grabbed the Magellan for a few months - that lasted about 6 gigs and I moved that one on as well. You may be better served by popping a post up on here with a bit of detail about what you think you're looking for, get a few suggestions from the gang (try and establish whether they've actually gigged the amp though) and then look for a used version of the contender. Gig it and if you don't like it just flip it. Think of it as gear rental....

This Warwick one is a good single handled bag https://www.gak.co.uk/en/warwick-rockbag-deluxe-line-bass-guitar-bag/7499
-
Indeed, its a great bag for the money - I had one. And the first thing I look for in a gig bag is a one piece handle....
-
Exactly this. Nutshell.
-
Overrated - Mesa Subway D800. Wanted to love it, sounded like it had a blanket over it. Underated - Cort A4 Plus bass. Stunning feel, build quality and sound. Feels like it should be a £2k bass not a £500 one.

2002 Warwick Corvette Proline WITHDRAWN Flamed maple body, ovangkol neck, wenge fretboard. Light for a Warwick at about 8.5lbs by the bathroom scales method. It was originally ocean blue with gold hardware but has recenty been refinished in a translucent grey/black stain and also had black hardware fitted. Bronze frets polished at the same time along with a good setup. Trussrod moves freely and the neck is straight. There's a teeny ding on the edge of the fretboard at the second fret - I didn't notice it for a few weeks after I bought it but in the interest of no surprises it's there. The neck is the lovely skinny one and not a baseball bat. I would rate the bass as a good 8.5/10 condition at least. EMG Jazz pickups fitted and it has the original MEC active preamp. Volume, pickup pan and stacked bass/treble controls with a pull pot for passive mode. No crackles or issues. Control and pickup cavities are also copper shielded. USA Spector tuners fitted (as the Warwick ones always break) Hipshot Detuner fitted but I'm probably going to keep that as it'll get used on something in the future I expect. Brass JAN3 fitted as well (the edge tabs don't break like on the JAN2's) New stainless strings fitted this week so it's sounding absolutely amazing and playing like a dream. It's a beautiful bass and any issues that you tend to see on Warwicks have been addressed to a great standard. Hard case included. Tea, biscuits and amps all in the house so any trial is welcomed and encouraged. Collection Herts/Essex border or meet up (Essex/Herts/London/North Home Counties/South Midlands/Norfolk/Suffolk/Kent/East Sussex is all doable for me). Sorry, no couriers. No real urges for a trade but you're welcome to ask - I can only say no... Thanks for looking 🙂
