G&L are now producing an amazing array of basses. The only gap I can see is the 5 string SB/P bass ASAT's , L series, M series, The MJ's, JB's, LB, Kiliton and SB's Loks like they have most "basses" covered http://www.glguitars.com/instruments/USA/basses/index.asp

Ok so things have settled down a bit so I'll bring G&L SB-2 G&L L1500 Bass Collection SB335 Stingray fretless SR5 I'll be there late morning

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1490892228' post='3268895'] Apart from the addition of a single coil mode and the passive tone control, how does the Kiloton differ from an L1500 in passive mode? The pickup looks to be in exactly the same position so surely it's pretty much an L1500 without a preamp. Is it really different enough to be a new model or just a slick bit of marketing? Having said that, I love how it sounds and want one! [/quote] The SB shape and resulting lighter weight should be a big + and I think that the control options and layout look really good too. I would like to try one.

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1490863517' post='3268550'] @Pinball the L1500 is so cool because of the previous owners mods ;-) [/quote] Ahaa and who may that be I wonder

I love it and can hear the tones coming though that I love in my other G&L's. I love the passive sounds from my L1500 and can hear the same here. Another nice video here. [url="https://youtu.be/3FqdXEWA1Mw"]https://youtu.be/3FqdXEWA1Mw[/url] .

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1490821357' post='3268394'] £1500!!! No thanks, I'll wait for the Tribute model. [/quote] I agree that it is a lot but it is in the range of some other well known American manufacturers

Well I have a Stingray, which I love and is my gigging bass (in fact I have two if you include my Fretless) and an L1505, which I also love and is an absolute beast and find myself lucky enough to be able to look for another. I see no point in simply duplicating what I have..hence my post

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1490732644' post='3267553'] Stephen mentioned that - shame that the mag's they've given him for the bash will be the previous edition. [/quote] I have disagree I'm in that one Can someone save me a copy as I would like another. Note: humbly mentioned as it's a small piece and I'm not the best player...just pushy!

[quote name='mikeswals' timestamp='1490587870' post='3266110'] Yup they sound very different, I've had a few of both. The SR5HH was smoother, can have more of a scoopy tone. The L2500 has way higher output and is all attack and sustain. [/quote] Thanks that's the sort of thing that I need to know. Am I correct in thinking that you can still get a good aggressive ray tone from the HH? From youtube etc. I can hear nice rounded and boomy tones but need that classic ray zing too

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1490654294' post='3266857'] I'm still planning on coming down. Although I need to remove the Bass Collection SB320 from the for-sale bit (it's sold so won't be bringing it!) [/quote] well lets see if we can lift share...I can bring a Bass Collection if there is any interest in addition to the two already there any preferences in between a G&L L1500, L1505 and Bass Collection SB335?

Bump with video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXPhW7z2UJ0

I use my BB as a stomp in place of distortion pedal...before filters etc I should add that If I use my VT Deluxe I either use it "stand alone" or at the end of the bedal chain

Hi, I love SR5's and L1505's so can compare those but what about the 2 pickup versions? What are the merrits of each? Why should someone buy one over the other?

Wow I hope this place is big enough...it looks like there is a lot going on. Someone needs to change the list of stuff that I'm bringing (no 0 in the list). I have sold the G&L Tribute and Thunderbird so I'll bring something else instead

[quote name='Treb' timestamp='1490124330' post='3262431'] I've never handled a SUB or a a Ray34. I do have a EBMM Sterling and if you want that oiled neck feel then there's only one choice. Nothing compares to that neck feel IMO. BTW new Stingrays can be found at nice prices though. Esse Music in Italy has a few left, starting at €1690. That emerald green sparkle is to die for! [/quote] I agree with this, I had a Stirlingray35 and an EB SR5 at the same time. I couldn't really hear much difference but there was something that I liked better with the neck of the USA one. I manages to get a 2nd hand US neck for the Sterlingray35 and from then on was as happy with that as the USA one. There is a slight difference. I would go 2nd hand USA or get myself a Status neck.

Fast payment and an easy deal in a Precision bass...Thanks Stuart!

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1489668581' post='3258786'] maybe its ironic and they are actually fairly happy and tolerant badgers [/quote] [attachment=240755:search.jpg] Better?

aha thanks

I know that the the other bass he was playing at Bizarre is a Bass Collection but whats this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IAfm2S9EEY&list=RDZOorzyuoB2o&index=6

[quote name='Lysdexia' timestamp='1489602113' post='3258327'] I loved it - not least the subliminal political rallying call to the hoi polloi for the final showdown with the army of robot angry badgers the guy is building in his bunker. Brave! [/quote] Thanks again for the positives...I may use that as an anoymous quote...I think I know what it means
