[url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/nov/20/gibson-guitars-raided"]http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/nov/2...-guitars-raided[/url] does make you think though, how many of our basses have been made using ethically sourced materials and is this ever a consideration when you buy a new bass?[/quote] I'd like to say yes but absolutely no.

Not in the Throw Offs are you?

Go with white, the tortie makes a beautiful bass look like something from your nan's wardrobe.

Flobots - Handlebars, easy but effective.

If you're short on cash second hand Peavey will give you a great return for price.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='660532' date='Nov 20 2009, 08:41 PM']If money is tight and you like your Ibby, don't buy a back-up bass, buy a decent tool-kit and make sure you know how to use it. If you've got the right set of tools for the job (and frankly you don't need that much), some spare batteries, a set of replacement strings, and a torch ... well what else could go wrong at a pub gig? I have lots of basses, so I usually take a back-up bass. But I don't have lots of basses because I NEED a back-up bass. And the ONE occasion when I needed a back-up (someone else knocked over my bass and broke a tuner clean off) I didn't have one with me anyway. I went home and got another.[/quote] I agree, I have loads of basses but usually just take the Fender. Get a decent amp there's no point in having an inadequate amp and a bass that isn't being used backstage when you could be being heard with a good tone.
