When I started playing everyone had that strap. Now its only half of everyone!

Oh yes, we were doing an outdoor event outside a pub and they asked us if we could use a generator, so we said yes as long as it matched the given spec, which the guitarist provided. We turned up, and there was a tiny little generator that could probably just power a TV. So we ran a cable from the pubs shed.

Phil Jones Bass clearance at guitarguitar

Yay, just when I advertised my BG-100! Oh well, they don't' have one of those -
Every outdoor wedding gig in a tent or the current trend - Teepees have been on ground at such an angle it is a pain to stop the drum kit falling over. Not a great fan of them. We played an Irish birthday party in a field a few weeks ago (was a bit nervous of that one but it was pretty good), the stage was made of a series of trailers with wood on the top, but they had actually dug it into the ground so much it was dead level (as long as you didn't fall into one of the gaps). Oh we played in a barn once on the back of a trailer that had a slight incline, but that was lucky as it was pissing down outside and barns are not exactly that watertight so it meant the water landed on the high side of the trailer, ran down the back and went off the side without going in the amps - result!

Instruments would come into the hotel room with me.

Probably didn't want anyone nicking it.

Phil Jones Bass Cub - BG100 in great condition, ie, pretty well as new. Complete with case, strap (unused), lead, bag, documentation etc. Got this earlier in the year at a bass bash but have just used it for practice since. I have now got a bose battery PA which I am using for the same thing so this is sitting not being used. Its a great thing for playing at home or in quieter or acoustic gigs, or round a friends house, but it won't keep up with an enthusiastic drummer obviously. Its 100 watts. Would rather not post it because I am terribly lazy, but if needs must I will do! Happy to drive it anywhere 50 miles of yeovil, or to meet somewhere. Sexy reclining on a chair pose: Full Frontal - note the little spring loaded leg at the front. Stripping down to show off a fine pair of 5 inchers.. Taunting from within the bag A nice shot of the rear end - note the white patches are glare rather than dirt or dust. Full on control panel. 2 types of input for Mic / Bass, inc a combined XLR / Jack on the guitar side and a switch for lower level. Level / Bass / mid / treble for both channels, a limiter with level, an ipod style input (lead included), headphone and master volume.- 7 replies

Well, there was only one bass I bought new as I wasn't able to find a second hand one in that colour:
-
All bar 2 of mine were used, but I chose the colour of all of my them by buying them. Wouldn't buy a bass I didnt like the colour of unless there was something exceptional about it
-
I had a 5 string short scale messinger, and that didn't get farty even on the B, that was with newtone strings.
-
There are a few around though
-
Get what you were going to get, you are almost certainly going to be happy with it and then you can worry about playing it rather than working out what to get.
-
I was going to get a 306, there were 2 second hand ones on richtone and andertons, but I dithered about for a while and they both went. I don't need a 6 but I could have probably used one!

Honesty and trust not important these days ?

That gave up thing wouldn't have happened in our band! -
Never had any of that, solid as a rock as any Ibanez I have had. In fact, the only think i ever had that with was a fender jazz. I used to wonder why people said about necks moving. I suppose if you lived in arizona or something it might be different. Newtones do 34" scale guitar strings, and d'dario strings are over 40" so generally long enough for a bass scale - I know as I have looked for the chapman stick, which is actually more than 34" scale with strings from 0.008 to 0.130, as it goes from the D just below guitar high E to the C just above 5 string B (other tunings are available).

Double post

Stability? In what way? Well, dumb question from me I guess, no, I never had any mechanical problems with the GVB, it was really solid. I must say it was still one of my favourite colours too.

I have had that several times on here, its just the way it is with some people -
They are the same only the 1006 is just hand carved by Japanese nuns.

It sounded quite good really. Just turned out I didn't play 6s and I found the parallel neck didn't work well for me, but as that is what you are looking for it would be good. Yep, that was my issue. One of the other weird things is the bass / treble controls are backwards!
-
I have tried several times to get into flatwounds and I really can't, tried them on the fretless and on stringed basses, but nothing, went through a couple of packs of chromes at various times. Got some tape wounds, and they sort of worked for somethings, but took them off the maruschyk as they were too soft and put them on the G&L which I don't use much. I think they might work there. I can't say they are going to become a favourite, but I don't hate them there, and it is the first time I haven't!

There is the ibanez GVB36 like I had, which has a tighter spacing than the 1206, 15mm I think rather than 16.5mm or 11 like a SRC6. I had one but for me I had a problem that the neck spacing wasn't tight enough. https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/modern-bass-guitars/ibanez-gvb36-signature-series-6-string-bass-guitar-in-amber

Yes, my other (ie, not my regular gigging) band just collapsed as the keys player had made it hard for us to do anything and I think it was just a question of who went first. Seemed like after a recent gig things would calm down and we could get on with stuff, but no, the old problems came up and now everyone (including the keys) have announced they are leaving. A shame but not a surprise. However, I don't think that there was a way of addressing those issues early, as I think it was very embedded in personalities.
-
What is a better tone? No-one makes a bass and things 'lets give it a bad tone'. I have played the Ibanez and the stingray. They both sound fine but they sound different from each other. Personally I would go with an ibanez because I like thin necks (although the 6 is hardly thin), but most people don't get on with them. The corts are probably going to be similar to the ibanez. I suppose you are going to have to go for a shop with a good return policy. However, for the new price of any of those your options for second hand opens up more.

Depends if you want a 5 or a 6 really, quite a fundamental question in there!
