I agree a nice sound, You can hear it's MM heritage...also sounds like a G&L 1500

[quote name='YouMa' timestamp='1466186493' post='3074026'] zappa stuff is all over the place i would start with hot rats,joes garage,zoot allures,apostrophie,overnight sensation. [/quote] That sounds about right to me. I seem to remember that he'd already done about 40 albums before zoot alures came out. I saw him around 79-80 in Newcastle. Class act and a great band. Wicked sense of humour too. Check out the hippy piss-take "we're only in it for the money" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-9FX7bhESs

G&L JB-2 Tribute 3-tone sunburst - immaculate **SOLD!!**
Pinball replied to TheDaivisch's topic in Basses For Sale
I would love this...I already have 5 basses and a great playing Tribute L2000 so I can"t justify another. The build quality looks great in the pics GLWTS -
SR's do everything I want. There is loads of sound variation just by moving your right hand around the pup, plus the EQ, toggle and string choice. Then you have the amp and pedals to play with if you want too. I've had lots of basses and Stingrays are my favourites as I have never been disappointed in the results when playing live-not so with some of the others. Note: I have a fretless Stingray too which also sounds superb.

I just bought a Trem pedal from James. A very quick and easy deal-recommended seller

Thanks guys, a pleasure to deal with you all. Trem is great!

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1326838914' post='1502758'] It won't do anything bad to your amp, but it doesn't sound particularly great. [/quote] Well I broke my tweeters in my GB NX2 cab when I put an acoustic guitar though it and it fed back!

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1465741468' post='3070634'] Glad you're liking the G&L Ed! I did suffer a pang of seller's regret but I have just made an offer on a rather lush P so that feeling soon went. [/quote] I hope that you get what you want. I have wide (but now dodgy) shoulders and balance wise Stingrays and ESP Surveyors work best for me, Fenders J's and P's are OK and Spector's and Warwick's don't sit well. The latter feel at best awkward and heavier than they actually are.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1423089479' post='2680749'] Most surprising is the G&L - this feels like much harder work when I play it, even though the action is fine, and I would have put it at 10-11lb. In fact it is only 130g/4½oz heavier than the Sandberg and Precision. I think the key factor is the width of the neck, both when initially picking it up to play, and whilst actually playing. I use the same Comfort Strapp for all these basses, yet I have an achier shoulder when I have played the G&L. I guess I am tensing up my left arm muscles more when I play it. Anyone else been surprised when weighing their bass? [/quote] Interesting one, as the new owner of your G&L I have a theory. The neck is quite beefy (not as much as a Warwick FNA that I had) and with such basses it's a case of getting used to them. In addition you have very "beefy" flat stings on it. I have had EB flats before and think they sound great but they are "heavy" on the fingers and hands. The balance is great (better than my Warwick was) but it isn't a guitar to leap around the stage with as the pup picks lots of the sound from your fingers so good concentration is needed to get the best from it. Note: I'm in love with the sound coming while it sitting around playing it at home but haven't played it on stage yet [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1423181011' post='2682068'] It's all about the balance point. [/quote] Definitely...I had a Bongo recently that I though was one of the lightest basses that I had owned until it came to weighing it for the new owner. I was astounded to find that it was over 10lb. This was because it was well balanced and comfortable.

Just completed a pedal trade/cash deal. An easy and quick deal Thanks bud

I love my EB stingrays so won't look past them. I like the look of the contoured better anyway

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1462635369' post='3044582'] Bit of a resurrection of this post with an update. This is now definitely my number 1 bass. I just love it. Interestingly, as the strings on it die off it sounds better and better. I've had a set of Elixirs waiting to go on this since October and they're still sat in their packet. I played this at Mr Wolf's in Bristol a few weeks ago through my MarkBass CMD 121P and the bass player for the next band complimented me on the sound of it [/quote] Paul and I play together regularly and his P bass definitely hits the spot. When practising I prefer the sound of his P bass as it just sounds right and fits with the 12 and 6 stringers and with my voice. Just like a good recording mix

I love Schecter stuff but haven't played one of these yet, nice bass

[quote name='sellisnba' timestamp='1463428534' post='3051320'] My question is, if I stick to same string gauge will I have to get the bass setup at all. [/quote] Basses all vary so the only way is to do it and then tweak the set up if you need too

[b][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][quote name='Agwin' timestamp='1463248392' post='3049972'] Although my current band is basically a rock band we do have prog/prog metal (ish) leanings - and it's starting to show in some of our newer original material. [/quote][/size][/font][/b] [b][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Same here but the big problem is that I can't find many places to play it. It seems to me that most "prog" festivals, radio stations and other outlets are interested in retro rather than new music. Check them out and you will find lots of 70's bands playing. Some of the sub-genre's that I would have called prog back the day are those that are now at Festivals such as ArcTanGent.

[quote name='naxos10' timestamp='1463053014' post='3048089'] I have the older 5 string Legend with bolted neck. They are excellent guitars although I am thinking of selling mine soon as I just don't use it. [/quote] I like those a lot. I prefer them to the neck-thru as the bolt-ons I played were lighter and sounded just as good.
