    '94 MM Albert Lee in the original (and best) colour. lightweight southern ash, with figured maple neck, 3 Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro IIs single coils,comes with original G&G cream tolex hardcase guitar is in lovely condition. It has had a number of mods done to it by the previous owner to me who is a member of the ebmm boards. 1/ Refretted with Dunlop jumbo wire by Mark at Feline Guitars in London 2/ Earvana compensated nut fitted for better intonation,again by Mark at Feline 3/ WD pearloid pickguard fitted (sry no longer have plain white original) 4/ Pearloid tuner buttons lifted from an MM Axis I used to have.(again dont have chrome schaller buttons sry) I've owned the guitar a couple of years and its a really sweet thing,its a hybrid strat/tele sounding guitar (bridge p/up has a metal baseplate to help mimic the Telecaster tone. each p/up position sounds fabalous.It's better than any other Strat/Tele I've ever owned/played/come across. Period. Nothing touches it for twang imo.However I need funds for a new car so some of my gear will have to go. I could possibly be interested in taking a Tele in part ex but as the object of the excercise is getting cash in,it would need to be something like a G&L Tribute Asat,Fender Lite ash or Mexican classic series Cash wise offers around £850 accepted next day courier via APC Overnight will be £20 to mainland UK incl insurance couldnt get the burst to show so the last pic is taken in different light and whilst its not truly representative of the burst (more blended and subtle in the flesh) it at least shows the burst element to the finish. All the other pics make it look red for some reason

    [quote name='The Burpster' post='371927' date='Jan 6 2009, 12:57 PM']Phil, If you get chance to speak to Mr Smith (of the Paul Reed variety) ask if he's considered making an SE bass which I'm getting tired of continually suggesting..... Oh and a forum addition to the PRS website too.... Ta..... [/quote] +1 an SE bass would be very nice indeed! (if it had a flame top and no pickguard)

    sax eh? I just took an alto in part ex for some music gear I was moving on and its looking lovely sat in its case. I've wanted one for years but now I have one,havent a scoobie how to even get started. Would it be a waste of time trying to make some headway with videos,books etc on my own first? ie to avoid frustration should I try and sort out a tutor straight away? Are there any tuition books/CDs/videos you can recommend? and welcome. this place gives me a daily battle with myself,takes me all my time convincing myself I dont need another bass. congrats on the Stingray too. I've a Stingray 5 but the last month has seen my GAS for a black or sunburst Stingray 4 go through the roof.

    They're all sweet but I'm biased towards Sterlings with their super necks so sterling it is! btw the Sterling isnt medallion gold which is much much more yellow. That finish is called Las Vegas Gold. Its a fairly rare factory finish and I've only ever seen a handful an Albert Lee in the same finish and medallion gold good luck with whatever you choose. cheers

    I mainly post in the G&L forum there and I cant help but envy them their FS section. I dont find TB overly religious - well not compared to the Ovation fanclub where I lurk mostly

    sweet bass(es)! out of curiosity can I ask what made you choose a 33'' scale length on a 5 and how does the B string feel/sound?.

    G&L Tribute L2500? the 5 string version of this [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WT4AP58jC5o"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WT4AP58jC5o[/url]
  11. dub_junkie
    I went for Musicman as I love 'em but I'd definetely stretch to a Stingray if I were you. You'll be glad you did. edit: or better still get a G&L L-2000!!

    IN Valenti Jazz MM Stingray 5 G&L SB-2 Spector Euro 5 (x2) Godlyke Disciple 5 Godlyke Deity 4 fretless MM Steve Morse guitar Tacoma Jumbo acoustic OUT Bolin NS5 G&L L-1500 G&L Asat G&L Tribute L-2000 G&L Invader XL guitar G&L Legacy Std guitar MM Sterling (x2) MM Axis (x2) MM Silhouette Special Maybe only looking for couple of trades in 2009. One of my Euro 5's for a MM4/G&L etc. Not playing the 5's as much in the band I've just joined. Overall I'm happy with the gear I've got and I cant be ar$ed going round in circles to arrive back at much the same anyway

    My gf and I were in glasgow shopping yesterday and she commented how the staff at Reverb/SC gave her a vacant look when she asked any questions. It was only after they realised that she knew what she was talking about (she is a lead vocalist with 20 years experience playing in big bands/duos etc) that they actually bothered to show any interest. Then went round the corner where the staff were more helpful at Rub-A-Dub and she bought me some Alesis studio monitors (for my crimbo) without a hitch - result!! Guitar Guitar are very friendly and customer orientated imo and to that end the shop was mobbed with customers. Reverb was empty by comparison.

    hi,theres a fairly comprehensive thread on here about the SGC/Nanyo basses. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=697"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=697[/url]

    I actually got the oil finish flame maple Euro 5 because it reminded me so much of an SS1 I owned for a number of years. I loved the Streamer Stage 1 and I love the Spector too. I'd have both if I could. they're both great basses
  17. dub_junkie
    good luck with it d-basser. certainly seems a steal for what it is
  18. dub_junkie
    sad news about your band. You have a long music journey ahead Ste,I'm sure you will take only positives from this. good luck with the sale of both this and the TRB

    am not too up on Sei's but dont these go used for a grand and up? [url="http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/28/32243528.htmld"]http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/28/32243528.htmld[/url]

    Anyone able to compare an Aguilar against the Tonepump in a EURO? ( I believe some of the Euros shipped with Aguilar preamps) I like the OBP1 in one of my other basses and wonder how it sounds with EMGs compared to the spector preamp

    [quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='355525' date='Dec 16 2008, 12:02 AM']Ergonomics, build quality, feel, sound ...it's better than I ever thought possible for a production line bass (mine's a Euro LX5-EX poplar burl). There's no mass neurosis here ...they really are brilliant instruments and the NT's will hold their value.[/quote] how true! I've dallied on and off with selling one of my older Euro 5's but each time I do I just realise there'll be regret involved afterwards and if I did I'll probably end up with a bass I dont like as much. furthermore I cant seperate my two in deciding which one I prefer.

    CK,minor point I know,they were made through to '91. Long time ago I had a 1989 natural finish Sabre fretless with the covered p/ups and the 5 position switch. I also had a pre EB Stingray at the time and in summary I'd agree 100% with your take on the tonal differences between the two. Looks wise I preferred the slimmer outline of the Sabre to the Ray's roundness(like the older G&L L2K before they were changed and given more curves).I'm kind of tempted with this but have plans on one day aquiring another late 80s EB Sabre in trans red/maple or blueburst/maple if I can ever find one

    I got this Bolin from owen and traded it back with him after a while (owen was missing the Bolin just like I was with the spector euro I part ex'd against it) Its probably the poshest bass I ever owned, sounds stellar imo, the piezo was such a great tone. good luck with the sale!
  24. dub_junkie
    Hi Sean, been recording with it this last couple of weeks. the bass sounds great shame my intonation is a bit iffy hope all's well your end cheers Keir
