thanks for the advice. I dont like the sound of having 6 of the Line 6 psu's. apart from the cost that would just be a right royal pain in the erse. I;ve got one of the LIne 6 DC-1 power supplies but been using a couple of the other pedals with duracells,and they eat their way through them. I think the minimum draw is something like 70ma. Looks like I'm going to have to soldier on with the XT Live till I can find a viable solution. shame as I prefer the sound of the pedals over the multi fx board would it be worth contacting Line 6 or are they just going to tell me to buy another 5 DC-1's?

I'm just about finished putting together a board of LIne 6 tonecore single pedals (Filter,Compressor,Overdrive,tremolo,chorus and Echo) - primarily for the guitar but theres 2 or 3 which are a bit tasty on the bass too. Question is can anyone recommend the best power supply for all these. I see a lot of power banks and multi adaptors but unsure which one to go for. Anyone running these pedals on their boards ? and is there anything I should know ? thanks

looks great

these Cirrus basses are lush.I'd take any of the blue ones what model are the two on the extreme left? they're pretty looking too

[quote name='PauBass' post='278052' date='Sep 5 2008, 05:29 PM']My advice is not to limit just to the one pickup, have a look and try, if you can, the double pickup models. HS or HH configuration. I've got a Stingray 4 HS and it's a beast! The extra pickup, together with the 5 position pickup selector and the 3 band EQ, really opens up the tonal possibilities of these basses. Very versatile instrument, you won't be dissapointed. [/quote] what an awesome looking Stingray!

[quote name='El_JimBob' post='276297' date='Sep 3 2008, 02:58 PM']I think nig has about 5 in each room of his house Bought a lovely L2000 from him recently, and he's quite the authority when it comes to these basses.... Which reminds me, i should get pictures of my brood up soon. Gigged my L1500 for the first time last night and it was pure joy! G&Ls should come with Thomastik strings on them as stock. Anyone got an ASAT they wanna get shot of - i really fancy one at the moment....[/quote] I've certainly seen pics of a few others nig owns and read his posts mentioning others still. the blue swirl L5500 and the black lawsuit SB-2? did they sell? was it a trans blue L2K you got from him? If so,I saw it on ebay and was going to bid on it too. it looked like a sweet bass. If you had been in the hunt for an Asat a month ago I was selling mine.at the time I also had a deal to trade it for a silver flake JB-2 that was offered to me. anyway long story,he was away on business a few days and I deleted the guys details by mistake,and no one on here bought the Asat. Since then I've gotten back into it again. all the recent talk on BC of L2000s and L2500s had me up to a hundred but then I thought about it "slow down,wait a minute,plugged in I've got the same as those!" Incidentally anyone know the chap who has the silver flake JB2? I'm sure his name was Rob and he was from Sevenoaks or thereabouts iirc. good for you with the L-1500 ,that is one of the most distinctive sounding basses I ever owned/heard/played. I'd never heard a bass cut through like that until I owned the clear forest green one above. my only gripe was the active setting was the same as the treble boost setting on the Asat and L2K which I never use and so had me rolling back the treble a lot of the time. sounded great passive though and was plenty good for me and yes, pics of your three would be good in this thread

on the subject of white sparkle,this was my Sterling in said finish.I done a deal with wavydavy on here for his Valenti.He sold the Sterling on ebay for £650 last month and its now on the bay at the moment with a BIN of £850,albeit with the original black plate. I'd love it back but not at that price

nig and gareth...really great pics. I see them and I want another G&L lol - nig havent you got some more to show? Matt,what a great looking L2K.ditto odub's Asat semi-hollow. if I can post up an ex bass of mine,then this semi hollow now with tonyf is just too lush for words. I would trade back this bass in a heartbeat. and BB your L2K is the same as the one I had. unfortunately that and the green L-1500 in the poor quality pic have both moved on. I'll probably get both again which is all a bit swings and roundabouts and a bit daft but hey GAS!

there's been a few threads on these great basses of late so here's a place to have all the basschat owned G&Ls together. I'll start with my Asat & SB-2.

[quote name='mistahbenn' post='271552' date='Aug 28 2008, 09:35 AM']Dub - is that honeyburst? Im thinking of having binding, prob not matching headstock, and normal Pickups for that full sound. The factory have a blueburst and a sunburst with binding in right now, but I think I can wait the 8 - 12 weeks for one to be made... What ultimate G&L would you go for then?[/quote] that pic is just a regular sunburst,the JB-2 on the right in the pic below is honeyburst I think and would be my ultimate G&L just the same as that apart from I'd want a matching headstock I'm pretty sure this L-2000 is honeyburst too and not sure what colour this is but as above,the gun oil tint neck is stunning and the single coil option still gives the full sound of the buckers. the middle 2 way switch is changed to a 3 way giving series/single coil/parallel. this setting uses either of the two outside coils or both dependant on the pickup selector. cheers

lovin that cherryburst Sterling!

[quote name='mistahbenn' post='271379' date='Aug 27 2008, 10:25 PM']I got serious GAS for an L2500 now! Cant decide what colour to go for but am gonna get one made, with a flame top, RW board, but just gotta decide on colour, I really like these 2 so far...[/quote] thats a cracking looking pair of 5s. hows about a plain old burst? (not mine - I wish) you thinking of any other options? (gun oil tint neck,matching headstock etc) it might also be worth checking if you can get the single coil option on the L2500 I'm sure it will be a fantastic bass whatever you go with

AFAIK here are a few variations on the Tribute badging correct me if I'm wrong btw - 1/ The first ones had "Tribute" in large and "by G&L" in small on the headstock and "Tribute" embossed bridge. made in Korea 2/Later ones with "G&L" in large and "tribute series" in small on the headstock. again "tribute" embossed bridge and again made in korea. 3/The Indonesian ones have G&L in large on the headstock with "tribute series "in smaller lettering and "G&L" embossed bridge there may have been others but I havent seen any. I had a later Korean L-2000 same as no2 above. It was an excellent bass and I was wrong letting it go. Tribute wise,other than an L-2000/L-2500 there are the SB2 and JB-2 models which are both passive.The JB-2 is the only current G&L bass not to have MFD pickups,having 2 alnico single coils.The Tributes are limited option wise (no maple board on SB-2,only 2 finishes on JB-2 and SB-2 etc) All of the above models are made in the USA also and have loads of options. USA only models are the Asat & Asat semi-hollow basses (same sounds as an L-2000),L-1500 (one pickup like stingray with bags of growl) and L-1505 which is the 5 string version. There was also a run of Japanese made Tributes for the market there which were very high quality.Japanese ones are halfway down the page.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='269787' date='Aug 25 2008, 09:33 PM']stingray = MAN sterling = GIRL thats my take on it anways the sterling has a thinner neck and smaller body, neither of which appeal to me. i think its mostly cosmetic the differences though other than the sterling having the selecter switch that you probably wouldnt use anyways. i dont like the pickguard on the sterling either, just looks like a stingray one has been left next to a radiator...[/quote] is that why you tried to get my white sparkle Sterling off me back in May? I've owned both and both are great basses. I'd say the Sterling is the better bass for me because of the neck profile and switching (single coil mode is a useful addition imo) but I'd be just as happy owning a Stingray

love the Stingray..the Sterling I punted a few months back was exactly the same CAR/black/maple combo. Your one is making me GAS for another MM 4 string. and a 2 band too,I always liked the sound of the 2EQ ones.very nice indeed!

are any of the Rebops 5 strings?

[quote name='SJA' post='265076' date='Aug 18 2008, 11:24 PM']that brings back memories- I used to rehearse with a covers band there back in 1994 - the rehearsal studio was like a shed in someone's garden, and the roof would leak dripping rainwater onto the floor by the bass amp. hopefully it's improved a lot since then.[/quote] me too,when I lived in Iver,just up the road from Langley,the band I was in, used to rehearse in the shed out the back garden from the shop.That would be '90-'92. I recall the shop staff being really friendly too - I bought a Hohner Jack bass and an Aria fretless 5 off them during that time and I dont remember what their openening hours were but I recall somebody coming down to re-open the shop so I could collect the 5 on the way home after doing a couple of hours overtime at the airport so that would have been around 7.30pm. and I miss living in Iver .... it was a lovely place to live
