    When I had my lb100 I used it slightly differently after watching a video from the bass whisperer. He used to recommend different tones by backing off the volume control as well. Ie 3/4 gives you a more vintage tone etc.

    Yeh, I think (if I can remember the speil) is it makes the bridge one solid acoustic unit, rather than 4 individual ones. I didnt think it would make a difference, but it really did. I do love the g&l lb100s (or l100) whichever model it is. Total bargain for beautifully made bass.

    Nice! Remember to tighten the bridge (theres a side screw) when adds a new dimension to the sound.

    I emailed them last week, as I was about to buy a bass from them too. Good job I didnt buy it. No response at all. I dont know if they're even working or not.

    Looks fantastic!

    Hi all I was browsing the bass centre website the other today looking at the power basses when I saw you can have your bass customised completely. From colour, pickups, electronics etc. Could be a good idea on a budget, considering the basses are hardly regarded at £300-400. So they can be that much more customised. Aguilar pick ups, sims electronics, nixmce colours - worth a look?

    UPS distribute for Thomann amongst others. Pretty much every bass I've had from Thomann and Andertons contain a cardboard guitar box with a larger rectangular box. Albeit that's not packaging everyone has available. You could argue thats what they use if they then demand a hard case. It might sound daft, but I think cardboard is also used as if its dented or damaged upon arrival you have visible proof it's been mishandled, rather than just for its protective qualities.

    UPS is the way to go. Same price as other companies, but the bass is insured, and I've found them excellent service too.

    I've never got into the supposed metal style basses. The Jacksons, Charvel, type.

    I've just ordered one of these. Been to the local music shop today for a browse and they had one in a different colour to the one I wanted, but I had a good look and a play with the one there, and flippin' eck they are very very very good. They look superb, are put together and finished very well, and the sound is absolute classic fender p bass. The necks are also nice and slim and fast. The tone pots also have a nice range. They were much better than I thought they would be. So much so, I ordered one in sunburst there and then, should take a week to arrive. It brought that fender smile back, that tone is awesome. £650, serious bargain, especially compared to the £1600 usa fender hanging next to it.

    Off the top of my head, the laney nexus 810 and markbass classic are around 10kg lighter each. 52kg isnt bad for a quality 8x10, but it cant be classed as "ultra lightweight" especially with 2 high quality competitors coming in 10kg lighter.

    Brilliant. Loved these.

    Thanks, it really does look gorgeous, the tort plate works really, and sounds fantastic.

    I've only had the precision, not the jazz I'm afraid.

    Up for sale is my as new Sire P7 version 2. Everything you could want in a bass. Looks stunning, nice to play. Passive AND active circuits. The active circuit is phenomenol. Rolled fret edges, ebony board. I'm reverting back to a standard p for a new band, so grab a bargain!

    Love this one even more!

    I kinda like the gold. It shouldnt work with the blue, but somehow does. Although my taste and style has gone out of the window this year!

    I've been messing about today with the legend holoflash and some recording to backing tracks, flippin heck! What a great recording sound! I used it through my stomp on svt setting and it's a lovely growly characterful sound that sits lovely in the mix. Cant wait to do some more.

    Me too. Never thought I'd want a blue bass - but that is fantastic!

    Hi all, I'm looking at a Fender player P, and was wondering if there are replacement scratchplate available. I'm looking at getting a sunburst like below, and replacing with a tortoise scratchplate. https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-player-precision-bass-3-color-sunburst-pau-ferro-fretboard

    Yes, the photo looks good. The n115 is a bit shorter than the 410 so will be a lot easier to transport than the trace! They will also have been designed to work with each other so should be a great sound.

    Now sold.
  24. la bam
    The n410 and n15 would be massive!

    That's a stunning looking bass! Nice one. I have the Sire in the same burgundy. One of those colours that just looks amazing.
