Looks great... The GK sound in a box

Essentially it's a complete lottery with all of them so you might as well go for the cheapest...

none... unless there is absolutely no other alternative... in which case keep the bass

[quote name='Rusco' timestamp='1453294952' post='2958146'] Joining the world of bass late I always find this very strange. I used to play saxophone in a national level concert band and Yamaha instruments be it woodwind, brass, keys, drums where very well regarded and sought after across that community, right up there with the best of their type. A Yamaha instrument would always get a nodding know of approval. [/quote] Yamaha make some cracking, high end, head turning basses as well

I'd be channeling my inner Robert Johnson if I had one of those... I may even try to sing

Love it... that looks the business

I'm a big fan of Berg cabs... still toying with the idea of adding a CN112 to my CN210 to give me a bit more flexibility.

I had a Japanese P bass with flats and it is the only bass I've sold that I wish I still had...

I've not tried or heard any Phil Jones gear but the more I read about it the more it seems like something I would like.

This looks cool as very cool thing and seems to cost a pinch over £200... looks great to me

Didn't he do something similar with Paul Simon last year? My folks went to the O2 gig and thought it was excellent.

[quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1453209748' post='2957392'] That'd be Earbrass Towers then. We're not really that elitist - I believe one of the footmen went to a "comprehensive" school - imagine! [/quote] That's nothing I had to clean my own moat the other year...

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1453208881' post='2957376'] Ignorant [/quote] I can't help it I wasn't there...

Was there any aimless noodling in it?

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1453203721' post='2957306'] Agreed. I wasn't suggesting active neglect. I look after my two basses and associated gear but a few battle scars are inevitable and I don't lose any sleep over them. Likewise, I don't lose any sleep over the dings and scratches in the back of my car and in my house from regularly carting flight cases around. I'm not a museum curator [/quote] Yeah of course, basses can pick up a few dings along the way (so I'm told anyway, none of mine ever have) I can understand accidents happen There just seems to be a bit of an air of "if your basses are in good condition your not playing them enough" creeping into this thread and that's simply not the case

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1453202180' post='2957285'] Use it everyday and enjoy it as much as possible. [/quote] You can use a bass every day and still look after it though My basses have fret wear etc as they are played a lot but I keep them free of dents and buckle rash etc by being careful with them. Can't say that looking after my gear impairs my enjoyment of playing in anyway. I don't even really think about it, looking after my stuff is just second nature.

There is the odd bargain out there though. I was recently too slow on an original mk1 on gumtree for £1200 because I thought it was a scam... Turns out it was genuine and a less suspicious BCer beat me to it!

This is definitely a scam but not a very good one if he's still trying to pull it after several years... It's been kicking around for ages Isn't he based on a remote Scottish island somewhere? Definitely avoid
