  1. I think he told me Promenade Music do them
  2. They've made some more powerful single coils in a jazz size housing I believe
  3. You can only see that area after making a post somewhere else - so that’s why you couldn’t find it! Cheers
  4. I don't think they've arrived at the Boss warehouse yet - I think they're expecting them in the next week or so. I'm getting a pair for sure!

    Thomann

    I also find Thomann really slow - Seems like weeks until the thing is normally delivered but I'm out so I have to go to the farm shop to collect. Might as well go to Germany and get it myself, disgusting, share if you agree
  6. Playing my flats as I read this, after spending the last week or so pretty much just playing rounds. It's like slipping into silk pyjamas 🧦 (that's a sock)
  7. Thanks that’s great - I’ll give it a try
  8. Yes it certainly seems like it - the texture would make removing the paint difficult so perhaps painting over again would be a good call. I'll look into that, thanks.
  9. Hi folks I have an old hard case here with some blue paint on the exterior. The case is the typical fender type rectangular sort which I think is wrapped in tolex(?) with the ends wrapped in what fees like vinyl/pleather It seems the general consensus is to spray the case with black paint rather than to try and remove the offending paint. Anyone have any tips, and if paint is the answer, what sort?
  10. That's an original configuration SB2, those pickups are single coils.
  11. Yes I think so. So maybe not so great then. But I don’t think that would be too bad for a set of original spec and material copies. Anything Wal is definitely a sellers market at the moment!
  12. Tbh that doesn’t seem like a bad price for a set (assuming four?) if they’re decent.
  13. I’ve never found a PJ that does a perfect J sound. Mind you not all Js do it either 😆
  14. Always - more notes = more fun + more mistakes
  15. Very difficult to tell given the difference in player and so on but that sounds quite different to my bass I think. Certainly the front pickup P bass impression sounds like it loses something of the way a P bass blooms each note, for want of a better expression. I used mine yesterday at a band practice and was super happy with how it sounded in the mix - the P sounded exactly like the SB1 with rounds, I think - and fully open in parallel the slap sound was full, punchy and clear - the keyboard player said it sounded like my Vigier, totally unprompted... I found myself playing over the back pickup into my old FX25 quite a lot which was bang on. Before our practice we had a few hours to check out the Emergency Services Museum in Sheffield. I had my bass on my back so I reckon I have the only G&L that's ever been in a fire engine, although I might be wrong
  16. For me the straps are usually the weak point. Sometimes the straps ‘meet’ at the place where they’re stitched to the bag which, when worn, feels like you’re being throttled. These look nicely spaced.
  17. Try now - I had the 'force sidebar to show' ticked
  18. Congrats, that’s a beauty. Recent L2000 convert here!! You’ve summed up the sound very well, I’d add more snap than a jazz. I’ve never seen a new one in the flesh. It looks like they’ve slimmed the waist a bit. The grain on this one is lovely 😊
  19. It happens very rarely on BC but occasionally we do get untrustworthy sellers. They’re quickly identified but unfortunately sometimes people get caught out along the way. Make sure you stick to PayPal and never F&F. Cheers ped
  20. Hi folks I’ve turned this feature off for the time being as it wasn’t behaving properly. Watch this space as I’m going to be fiddling with it in due course. Thanks
  21. Hi mate was it this one? I came across it recently as a recent new owner of an L2000
