    A good bass player is a good bass player...

    Oh dear, buyer is either lost in space or has been abducted by aliens; [i]"lets go round again...baby lets turn back the hands of time"[/i] Onward and upwards to the top!

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1455977420' post='2984168'] Ha, ha! I've tried that, but it's simply not having as much time to pursue it that's worked for me. I suppose a psychologist would call it a 'displacement activity' or some such? [/quote] If it keeps you off the gear then its an effective strategy!

    The psychology of GAS is simple; it is a form of addiction. All human beings, being habit forming creatures by virtue of our neurology, are susceptible to this. The addiction in this case is fed by the "high" of buying bass new gear. Unfortunately the high, like that of all drugs doesn't last and we are compelled to chase the next one. GAS is bad for you, just say "NO!"

    That is a beautiful bass for the money. I am a sucker for a Wenge neck! Bump

    [b]Price - £260[/b] Hi folks I have a TC Electronic BG500 210 combo for sale [b]In a nutshell[/b] - 500 watts through 2 x 10 inch speakers this is a really nice sounding, loud small combo. Features include; Built in tuner Built in compressor Built in tube tone simulator Memory preset function Headphone socket Low, Low Mid, High Mid, High tone controls Preset contour tones (x 2) [b]Condition [/b]- very, very good. It is very clean and in perfect working order. It has been used for many gigs, but has always been well cared for as all my gear is. There are no issues whatsoever. [b]Reason for sale[/b] - I love this combo however despite being small (easily fitting in the boot of the average family car) it is HEAVY (approx 75 - 78 lbs) and following three slipped discs I am looking to downscale to something much smaller and lighter... I always D.I. through the PA so really don't need this kind of volume anymore. I was happy to lug this heavy little bad boy around because I love the sound and features, but am gigging much less these days. Pick up in person would obviously be best, I am on the West Coast of Scotland in Helensburgh (approx 20 miles north of Glasgow), or alternatively I can arrange to deliver/meet up in the Glasgow area by mutual agreement for no extra cost whatsoever..

    I am fond of GMR basses, they are excellent value for money and nicely hand made. In this case I totally agree that the headstock is uninspiring and lets the bass down; I admire your aspirations for this bass and don't think there is anyone better than Mr Shuker to do the necessary. Please keep us in the loop with progress and the finished result. Very cool.

    [i]Modern = contemporary, not antiquated... up to date.[/i] In my opinion relevance is more important than being [i]modern [/i]as [i]modern [/i]has a close association with that which is currently fashionable. Modern bass player = up to date, contemporary and closely aligned to current trend (even if that is a trend for old technology or ideology) Relevant bass player = meaningful and impactive (often regardless of the norm or current trend)

    As the owner of a SR1205 i can assure you that you are in for a treat.... Brilliant basses.

    Stunning choice of woods. Congratulations!

    Super cool. How does the sound compare with it's big brother Attitude 2?

    [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1455139007' post='2976435'] I'm feeling slightly better. I need to stop worrying and rethink my goals. When I started I would of been really pleased with my current ability. [/quote] That's right! Its all about perspective. I get the impression that bass playing actually does a lot for you...so do more of it bro and enjoy the journey.

    [quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1455138959' post='2976434'] I hope your second line was earnest and not flippant... That's quite a lot easier to say than do for a lot of people. [/quote] Absolutely earnest and completely sincere. I don't do flippant.

    Life is short and it is precious. The meaning of life is to do the things that give your life meaning. It may help the OP to be happy and stop worrying about worrying.

    [quote name='Luulox' timestamp='1454157670' post='2967022'] I had an ibanez sr1205 and that was a great bass. Ticks all your boxes. [/quote] I have gigged my Ibanez Sr 1205 religiously for 4 years now, weddings, pubs, clubs and parties. I can confirm that it fully meets your criteria. Superb, lightweight, slim necked 5 string. Oh, and it sounds amazing also!

    Seriously good jazz basses, the necks are sublime. Lakland's are on the money...I owned a DJ for a few years and it was much better than my nice vintage Fender Jazz.

    [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1454665712' post='2971742'] ^ Cheers guys! It's certainly made me see Cort in a new light; I'd always overlooked them in the past. The Bass Lounge had a [i]very[/i] nice Cort Artisan in stock when I visited - [url="http://greatbritishbasslounge.com/product/cort-artisan-a5-custom-sp/"]this one[/url] - which had the quality of an instrument at least twice its price. Really good basses for the money, it seems. PS: I think Jeff Berlin is happy to change his tune about 5-strings when it comes to promoting product... [/quote] .....money talks!!! I have a lot of love for Jeff and Cort, he's a legend and they are great basses...I must have a try on one. I used to own the Dean JB signature model and it was ridiculously playable.

    [quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1454615540' post='2971419'] Ok When? - I ask, as over the years I've been a fan of JB's playing (well, before he found a chorus pedal) and I can't recall this - what I've read is that a five isn't his instrument and that he prefers passive pickups - but I'd like your source as its an interview that I'd be interested in reading or watching.
