She might have the chops but that sort of playing does my head in.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1444147840' post='2880673'] I think the B1on is hugely underrated. I must post a review of it at some point. [/quote] I wish you would as I bought one after reading your posts I use it as a headphone amp for silent practice just now but might stick it in front of the Mag300 and would like some pointers. And I am also umming and ahing about buying a BVT...

This is a good grooved bridge. I got one for my Jazz recently. http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/hardware-parts-c1/bridges-tailpieces-c2/bass-c96/bass-bridge-knurled-barrel-saddle-chrome-p4939

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1443992802' post='2879364'] Yep, I try to avoid the G as much as possible, and also try to play anything D upwards on the A, as it has more "beef" to it/ [/quote] I agree with this. I play in an AC/DC covers band with 2 guitarists, sporting valve Marshall amps and trying to do anything subtle on the G string is a waste of time. Or Tim

The NM has a different shaped neck from a standard P bass, I think its a "slim C" shape? A much better fit for me.

Cool bass. Nearly bought one but I liked the neck on the Nate Mendel better. The paint job on the body looks really good in the flesh.

At last! Someone who is worse than me at playing the bass. That was cringeworthy.

I cannot tell the difference between the two. Which is a bit scary considering the value of each bass. Or does this hammer home the point that it`s mostly in the fingers ? That moose can lay it down though

Got this e mail from Gear4music. If you are looking to buy an Ampeg amp, you get a free Sterling bass! http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Ampeg-BA-210-V2-Combo-and-Free-Sterling-by-Music-Man-Sub-Ray-4-Black/1DOX?utm_source=benchmark&utm_medium=email-marketing&utm_campaign=email-250915#full-des

Well in theory, the Ashdown will be putting about 180 watts into the 8ohms internal speaker, so it should be louder than the Rumble. But they have different amp sections so I couldnt say for certain the Ashdown would be louder. I havent played the Fender but have used a Mag 300 head for 10 years, a lot of the time through a 15 inch speaker and it has been loud enough for me when doing large pubs, playing rock music. Also, if you add an extension speaker, say a 2x10, then the Mag will give you the full 300 watts. I run my Mag into 2, 1x12 Mi cabs and there is plenty of volume.

I bought the same 77 model, put it up for sale, got some lowball offers for it and decided to keep it. It is a nice change from my main P bass and I gig it sometimes and it does the job well. I have owned Fender jazz`s in the past and this is as good. Well apart from the tuners and bridge that are getting swapped for a set of Gotoh tuners and a BBOT vintage style bridge. The finish and fit on it is as good as any Mex Standard at twice the price.

Excellent stuff. You can get this session along with some other performances, on a dvd called Free Forever.

Live wire by ac/dc. We open the set with this one and never tire of playing it. Even if the drummer plays it a bit slow

At £600 that is a bit of a steal. I owned a few L2000 Tributes and they were good, so I imagine the US one will be tickety boo!

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1441567043' post='2859922'] Our drummer carries a fruit and vegetable selection - for situations such. [/quote] Now I know where I have been going wrong all these years! I have been in a similar position. I play in an ac/dc covers band and at a recent gig was asked if we would do a guys party as he said we were "fantastic!" What kind of music does he want at his party? All the popular ac/dc stuff, Angels, Summer of 69, Dakota etc.

What?? No Dick Parry??

Good program on the whole but the picture quality and the quality of the clips they show, leave a lot to be desired in this HD picture age.

The Tea Gardens in Paisley gets my vote. Big Shug has bands on every weekend and although it`s slap bang on a main road, surrounded by tenement flats, usually tells us to crank up the volume a bit. It`s a small pub but is always busy with punters who come to hear the music which makes all the difference to me. It`s nice to feel appreciated.

Don`t mind wear and tear but dirt, no thanks. What amazes me even more, is when someone put a bass up for sale and it`s dusty or dirty. Puts me right off.

I recently got one of these myself. I tried all the Fenders in the same price range and this one was the one that won my heart But when I got it home, my wife said that the body finish was chipped and I should return it for a mint one. After explaining to her several times the concept of a relic, I still don`t think she gets it I`m not really a big Foo fan but this is just a great P bass, except for the new style Fender bridge that was binned almost right away for the BBOT.

If I was spending the money you seem to be talking about spending, wouldn`t you be better going to a UK based dealer and trying the thing out for a couple of hours? Take your own amp as well, Im sure they would be quite happy to let you have a play with it. I wouldn`t take the chance spending a lot of cash for a bass that I haven`t seen or played, even with distance selling regs.

G&L L2000 Tribute has 42 different possible settings if I remember correctly. As Swiss as a Toblerone, which I have never tasted.
