    Cheers, the precision was a lucky find. I saw the same limited model a year or two back and it just looked brilliant, but was way out of my price range. Luckily I found one barely used for a great price and love it. I really love the sires. They sit so well in the mix and the preamp are stunning. Such a variety of sounds available they're great for any type of band. Took me a little while to get used to the way the neck narrows towards the top, but the clarity up there is great.

    What I have recently noticed is that some middle men companies / brokers that have a lot of courier services for you to choose from WONT insure musical instruments, even if the actual courier service you use does on their own site. As you book through the broker youve no cover.

    I've just used UPS. Insurance included in price. It does state that musical instruments are covered. Tried to find some small print reversing that, but it all seemed good.

    Are you finger, pick or slap player? Sounds to me like your after a slap/funk sound, which is a different technique. Closest I found to that (and i cant play slap) is to do a mid scoop in the eq.

    Purple Sire V7 rev 2 for me. Love it. Very easy to play on, and with the preamp really makes it easy to cut through the mix when testing with backing tracks etc on the daw.

    Sing it Back by Moloko. Finally got round to learning it properly, and love it. Such a groove!

    Active battery compartments and wiring compartments that look like 2 big odd shapes of plastic just bunged on the back of the bass. Too many pickups - double p type etc. Relic'ing. Brand names on bass body. Plastic control panel knobs. Capital letters used for names on the headstock. Coloured straps.

    Great video. Lovely sound and style. The simple parts and drops back into the chorus are fantastic, and he keeps it busy in the verses but with pure class.

    Hi all, I've left my tribute band now, so time is right to sell this amazing bass and case. It's a G&L tribute LB100mn in natural. It's a swamp ash body, beautifully finished. It's in immaculate condition. When I bought it I also put shielding tape on the rear of the scratchplate, which eliminates any potential hum. It comes with a real quality hard case - specifically made by the leading custom bass company. The case is professionally cut specifically for this bass and keeps everything in place. It also has a few custom made areas in the case. One is designed for a helix stomp, one for a quilter bass block and one (I've slightly changed) to fit a line 6 g75 wireless unit. However all these can be used for whatever you like. I got the case reduced as I gave the company the bass specs in order for a reduction - but it still cost a lot as you can imagine. I have to point out for some reason they didnt centre the handle for some reason, so they case does have neck dive. Selling both together delivered for £395. Will add photos soon.

    Well, in a twist, I'm going to sell mine. I've left the tribute band I used this in, and have other basses, so it's simply surplus to my needs, as much as I'd like to keep it. I'd also had a special hard case specifically made for it. I'll post the ad in the for sale section.

    These are what's on the tribute I have.

    SB2s are great value too.

    The lb100 tributes are quite solid, thick basses. But in a quality way. They also look a lot better in the flesh than in their photos. The natural is stunning. I believe (but I may be wrong) it's all the usa hardware, but it's just assembled overseas.

    They are so well put together and high quality. Really solid basses. I've found mine records better than any bass or bass and pedal I've had.

    Hi all, Great deals on at Andertons for the G&L LB100 tributes. £399. I got mine for around £550 and it was an absolute steal at that price. Best built and put together bass i own. Great finish. Great sound. It comes with the US parts. Also the best balanced bass i have. It literally just sits in position perfectly. https://www.andertons.co.uk/g-l-tribute-lb-100-bass-in-natural-gloss-3-ply-black-pickguard-clear-gloss-neck-with-maple-fingerboard-ti-lb1-121r40m21?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI94CfvN-y6AIViLPtCh2GnACfEAQYASABEgI5rPD_BwE I think theyve even got the jazzes at £299 too.

    Hi, can you send me a PM please. Thanks.

    Hi all, This was my backup amp, and I never had to use it. It's been used once for a gig and was spot on. It has a built in tuner and all kinds of eq options, mid punch and bass boosts and mock valve drive, which are all good. It's only a few months old. The only think I did when I first got ot was to try and take the big bright yellow sticker off the top. It didnt comes off smoothly and left the residue on, so I just stuck the enclosed peavey sticker over the top. Comes with peavey case/bag. Only selling as I've now left my band and dont need to carry a spare amp head with me. Official spec here: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Peavey-MiniMax-Bass-Amplifier-Head/XIZ?origin=product-ads&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5vKOwcKu6AIVCbrtCh1IOwshEAQYASABEgJhWfD_BwE £150 collection leyland, lancashire, or could post for about £15.

    Thanks for your help all. It's looking like I'll eventually go for a sub if I can find one at the right price. I had considered the cheap hatley Benton as well, but with thomann being abroad and this current situation I decided against it. However, I'm very impulsive..... I did see this. I've always wanted a Sire v7, but being in a tribute act i had to play what my counterpart did, but now i can play whatever i want. When i saw this, i simply had to get it. It will give me more tonal range than the standard p basses I've been using, and looks amazing (to me anyway!). Matching headstock. Active and passive switch. 3 band eq. Tone and mixable pick up control. And it's the modified version 2 v7. Hopefully (couriers aside) it should arrive tomorrow.

    Some people arent great at using online services and couriers etc. Some people dont want to post due to a number of things - mainly damage, and more so the completely scandal that is courier insurance. So, you've added on the couriers own insurance, you've stated clearly what is being posted, you've paid the extra cost, so are you definitely insured? ......Nope! Youd be amazed at the small print. Even if you cover say a £500 amp for £500, the small print may say you're only covered upto £100 if at all. It's a huge con. Therefore if buyers really really want something posted, a lot of sellers nowadays want nothing to do with it, and will only allow postage if the buyer takes all responsibility to make sure they are fully insured and take responsibility for any damage etc. Having had an expensive cab damaged (even though it was in a case) I can understand this. I nearly lost a lot of money.
