It's the type of Bass some would Dai for...

No, you can't blame BGM for that: it was my shoddy proff-reading!

As BGM says: "Plus: The LG5 is a top quality instrument that boast a fantastic range of bass sounds matched with faultless construction. Minus: The four figure price tag may keep the LG-5 out of reach for many players." Me: Lovely looking and it appears, sounding bass but it's a bit more than four figures....! Just thought, I'm not in breach of any of the new Basschat T&C's I signed up to, by quoting from BGM ?

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='505715' date='Jun 4 2009, 06:56 PM']The Nightfly album by Donald Fagen features Marcus Miller, Chuck Rainey, Anthony Jackson, Will Lee etc, and is a masterclass in playing exactly what the song requires.[/quote] Beaten to it, I was going to suggest virtually anything by the Dan so how about some funky Kenny Gradney Bass on Dixie Chicken by Little Feat? I met him last year, a very nice man!

I just find it so very difficult to avert my gaze from the Bass....

That's a good price you got (from someone who lives in Yorkshire to a Scot)!

I know a luthier who uses this one: [url="http://www.john-boddy-timber.ltd.uk/news.htm"]http://www.john-boddy-timber.ltd.uk/news.htm[/url]

Got to agree, HH is a top Bassist, check out his fretless playing on "I can't make you love me" with Bonnie. I guess when Pete Academy is playing with Nearly Dan, he doesn't have to worry about changing between Basses: for me it's the more the merrier!

Having looked at the photo of the Bass for some time, is it so very wrong of me to ask why the model seems to have the lace from the guitar strap tied around the top of her thigh....?

If you can find a Rustin's stockist in Glasgow you won't need to pay postage (assuming they have it in stock). I needed some recently, tried all the DIY places to no avail and rang Rustins for a list of local stockists in Yorkshire: there were only 2 in the biggest county in England! I'm sure if you asked them for Glasgow stockists they'd oblige... One shop I went into said they had not been asked for it for years as it was an "old "product used by the old style craftsmen! And unless you are making 10 Basses a week that little tin will last a lifetime!

You could see if "Rustins" do a suitable product, sorry too lazy to look ! [url="http://www.rustins.eu/web/default.asp"]http://www.rustins.eu/web/default.asp[/url]

This topic has certainly captured the Basschatters imagination!

Shame there's not a Buy It Now price... Incidentally, a guy once played my Bass who used to play with Paul Carrack, do you think it's worth auctioning ?

Just got our band's insurance renewal through: looking at all the exclusions ( must be in a hard case),( must be out of view in vehicle),( must have Thatcham steering lock on vehicle),( must be tuned to C#minor), it's clear we are never going to be able to claim anything ever, however we do get £1.2 m public liability insurance. Anyone got any good deals just on Public Liability and if so can you recommend any brokers/companies? I've looked at MU and to join would cost us all a lot more than we pay in premiums now..... Mods: please move this if it should be somewhere else.....

"belongs to a guitar legend" called Lainey from Stafford... I wonder if its ?

So that's what the low B on a 5 string is for.....

We use a HK Lucas 600watt system with a seperate very compact Thomann 100w monitor for our singer, that's vocs & bv's through the pa the rest is backline. As I store and move the PA I wanted something small (Punto) and lightish! If Barefaced can come up with something more powerful but still "Compact" I'd be interested!

You don't want a nice hard case for your Hohner do you?.......

So the seller will saw the neck off for you....?

Absolute are £630 on the LMIII with a currency fluctuation proviso on the price...surely they would just order 20 at a price, if it then goes up then sell those new ones at the new price??

I wish I could go for the Wish Bass:

I think you are wrong about the custard: they'd only use that if it was Bird's Eye Maple....

Absolute had a LMIII on ebay last week but it has gone, I think it was just below or just above £700 ( could be wrong!) whereas a LMII can be had for just over £520 now.
