Saw this on Gumtree last night. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/hand-made-bass-guitar-with-ashdown-20w/1218159118 Fella says it's made by a Polish luthier name of [color=#3C3241]LANGOWSKI. Did a google search and sure as fate the fella exists.[/color] [color=#3C3241]His FB page has a picture of a 5'er,looks the same ,different wood though. Picture is dated 15th Sept 2013,about halfway down the page[/color] https://www.facebook.com/pg/Langowski-Guitars-1442403662652426/posts/?ref=page_internal [color=#3C3241]There's no "L" logo on the Gumtree bass but the front of the headstock looks sanded back.[/color] [color=#3C3241]What'd you folks think legit or is there faked Polish basses now ? [/color]

There's 2 Jazz basses. JB-20 at £80 with no-name pickups and hardware and the £120 JB-75 with the Wilkinson pickups. JB-75's are heavy, 11-12lb is average but I know an older player who gigs his all the time. He swears by the fretless JB-40 too. Wonder if you folks were playing the 20 ?

hubrad's got the right of it. Some flats work on one bass yet not on another. Are they really that expensive though ? Fender flats are about £20 a set and last for years. Or there's my £60 Harley Benton PB-50 ! A set of TIs on that changed it from being a decent bass into probably my favourite bass,3 year they been on it and it sounds great. Well worth the £40 for the TIs

Afraid that's out of my territory so I can only wish you well in the search. Get yourself to Bass Direct or the Gallery. Doubt there's much outwith your budget so play them all. Take your time deciding and enjoy the experience. Looking forward to seeing your NBD.

Sorry to about that fishfry.I was out of order there. You played a gig and nobody could hear you. I'd be pissed off too. What did the sound guy say was up ?

Half ?? With that kind of budget you could get anything you want built. Half again should easy get you another vintage Fender. Serious money you're talking.

Here you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EX-PINO-PALLADINO-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-STACK-KNOB-1961-VINTAGE-FENDER-BASS-WHO-/391434650065?hash=item5b2352c1d1:g:xfwAAOSwopRYhkWi Vintage,jazz,lot of money ticks all boxes

And why comment on a Jazz bass when the PB-50 is the topic ? My two here, fretboard is starting to age on the left hand one, right hand has a lovely almost roast maple grain. [attachment=238723:PB 50s (2).jpg]

Good friendly staff in Scayles Edinburgh. I only wanted a 9v daisy chain but they still offered to plug in any bass I fancied. Spotted a double bass mute I'd been after too,less than Thomann's price.

[quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1487559942' post='3240758'] I thought you meant different versions of the T bass!!! [/quote]No. Lucky there,just 3 or 4. Toasters & Blades, Fretless and there's also a Rosewood fretboard version.

[quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1487538254' post='3240653'] Can you expand please? [/quote]Simple really. One Peavey generally leads to another. Your G-bass lead to white T40 which lead to another T40 and bids on T45 & T20. If you don't count factory fretless,5 & 6 string options and variations like Ferrites to VFL pickups then there's at least 24 Peavey models for you to explore.

I'll just PM you regarding the Zephyr ones .

Aye,saw that. He had it on the FB gear page tae. Got yersel a bargain there.

Donny. Was that the one in Edinburgh ?

Bloody hell ! If the pawn is selling it for £90 then I don't want to think how little they gave you.

Holy Smokes !! the Price !! I remember the review in Guitarist mag " perfect for those Vampire Visigoths from Beyond the Veil gigs " I thought it was great that a Japanese company felt confident enough to tackle BC Rich's market. Has anybody checked his other items ? Bloke's sitting on a fortune.

Get a Les Paul key or a long thinwall 5/16th socket.

New lease of life for under a tenner !!! I like the way you think Burrito :-)

Half man half biscuit springs to mind but because after repeated listening in the works van the young fellas wanted mix tapes,mix CDs really it was 2007. Yet to meet anyone else but with the Serious Drinking ep "Country Girl became drug & sex Punk "

Well in my case I dismiss stupid ones.

Beat me to it dannybuoy

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1487192144' post='3238003'] For The Win. [/quote] You lost me there I'm afraid. edit Just googled that. Lucky for me that's not the common meaning with folks I know,would get strange looks having " For the win " tattooed across the back of my hand.
