Love these cabs.

Love the Bongo. The flats apparently sound really good with that pre-amp (never personally tried it) but the clarity with rounds and grind is addictive on these!

I would try the Vintera. The older road worn models seemed a much better buy. Now, I'm not sure. I think the cost ceiling has been hit. If they had installed better pickups I think it'd still be a little too much, but still a better deal.

That is just damn weird.

I am very late to this band, but got a ticket for the Manchester show next year. What a fantastic, complex and bizarre band they are. I am gutted I won't ever see them with Tim.

The G&L humbucker basses / active basses are ridiculously powerful. Really good instruments.

If Fender do take over, I hope they keep all staff and continue to manufacture G&L. Leo will be going home.

That’s a reasonable price for a UK manufactured amp.

I just mean the price will be dramatically different whichever it is.

Are these a Canadian bass or an import MIC bass?

That common trick! I always remember when you guys at Genz discussed this and that your volume controls are much more 'honest'.

I can't handle watching any videos by that guy. G&L basses and guitars are great IMO. I would have bought one of their USA basses had I seen more stock over here. I do like that they dragged out old paperwork over the past 10 years or so to build close new versions of old designs. It'll be a shame if they go under, but someone will swoop in and buy them.

I had a GP12 400SMX (I think that was the model name). Mid 90s ish 400W amp head. Only issue it had all that time was that it needed a new fuse the first few months (never had an issue ever again!), and I had to replace some of the plastics on the front/back panel occasionally. Absolutely superb. Build like a tank. Extremely heavy though, and awkward. Would I get it again? Absolutely. The closest I have come to it is the Genz Benz Shuttlemax 9.2, which I am never parting with! The old Trace stuff was over engineered and looked superb.

I noticed this mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GLGuitars/comments/1nla1iw/gl_shut_down_temporary_or_permanent/

Just standard MIM pickups on a 1399 bass immediately puts me off. Too expensive.
