Hubba, hubba 🤤

That finish really is special!!

Nah, I bet he overplayed a mush of too many notes on it 😜

Even Jaco needed a P......

4 pages in and no one has said you need more than just one P bass - one with flats and one with rounds. You're slipping basschat, up your game. 😂 I was against P's for ages, just because they're a bit standard. Then I got one for a blues band and it just clicked, they sit in the mix pretty perfectly without much faff. I've now got 2 and am eyeing up a 3rd 😂

Nw guitars are pretty reputable, if you fire them a question with the model they might even know. Good luck!

Any use.... https://ebay.us/m/DYPEFj

The black and silver sparkle are the best of the Z3 finishes imo. They still don't beat the natural finish of the Z7 though, plus the roasted maple neck and those inlays all look great too.

Lovely bass, have fin with it. That natural finish is the best of the line up imo, I just wish they did it in a Z3 as well.

So, since getting the Tascam I've found I don't really have to do too much to it at all to get a good track out of it. Placement is the main thing. I use it in a reasonably small room with drums, bass, keys, 1x guitar and vox (with the vox and keys going through a PA in the room). Generally speaking, I keep it away from the drums, with mics pointing towards the PA speakers and on top of an amp. I've brought a tripod with me a couple of times, but haven't used it. Once I get the recording, I just normalise it and do some slight EQ tweaks in Reaper then convert it to MP3 and drop it on the band drive. It's all pretty easy and only takes 10mins. I'm sure there's more I could do to it, but I don't really find I need to for just sharing with the band.

Really cool bass, enjoy it! I love the clank with rounds, but I've recently (4 years ago, so recently in terms of the life span of flats!) put TI Jazz Flats on my Ric and love them.

Ha! Yes, that'd make so many people rage quit in protest and would be amazing!!

I reckon they'd release a Fender L2000 if the buyout rumours are true. I don't know what happens to the other MFD pickups, I can't see them releasing a P or PJ with the SB1/2 pups unless it was a US line. Same with the locking bridge, maybe that only gets used in the US Ultra (or not all) sort of range.

I hope G&L get helped out and their staff all get their jobs back. I really rate their stuff and have a couple of Tributes that I love. Agree their marketing and brand positioning is about 30 years behind where it should be though. I'd love to pick up a Japanese ASAT bass - I passed on one a couple of years back and kick myself about it. It seems I'm in a minority here, but.....not only do I tolerate the G&L headstock, I really like it (in a 4 string. The 5er looks weird, but that's what you get for adding a pointless extra string).
