Very nice indeed.

Cool. I'm interested to see how you get on. I have something l2000 shaped heading this way in the post as we speak

To me, they look like something not properly thought out clumsily shoehorned into the bass guitar design template. I wouldn't classify them as bass guitars, they are guitars but bass notes are a very small part of what they do. The fretboard being so wide it's impossible to fret the bass strings higher up the fretboard rules them out as being playable with a standard bass technique. They're a different instrument to me and I've yet to hear something I like being played on one. Bass tapping sounds sh*te to my ears, not pleasing in a musical way.

Does lowering the pickups not solve two problems for you, both in terms of output and magnetic pull? Pickups don't need to be close to the strings, set them wherever works.

Matching shoes and curly lead. Tasteful

Bought an ACG EQ02 from John. Top man, great communication, swift postage, everything you want from a seller. Thanks again, John. Justin.

Starting the second listen now, I like this album I must say. It's not the return of 2112 but I've found nothing I feel the need to complain about so far. I feel many repeated listens in my future.

No, I'm in Ireland, it was delivered today.

I ordered direct from Classic Rock too. Nigel, what's your surname? If your name is on the poster that should mean it's on the way.

Follow your muse wherever she may take you, you'll have more fun that way. Basses aren't going to disappear and, who knows, you may rekindle the fire in the future and find a new appreciation for all things bass.

It has arrived. Mug o' scaldy just brewed, time to sit back and crank it (and I do mean [i]crank[/i] it,I do love living in the sticks, no neighbours for about 50 metres ). Magazine looks nice, found my name in the poster, all is well in the world.

Don't do it, SynthChat is crap.

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1338895117' post='1680622'] Quick question. Has any pro other than Macca or guys in tribute bands ever been seen using one of these? [/quote]Yep, Jimi from Doves uses on, quite a few tunes on Some Cities feature one. Great album.

[quote name='leftyhook' timestamp='1338889593' post='1680462'] I see your point...... Well said! Why shouldn't it be a collecting thing. Some people obsess over cars, models, et etc. [/quote]Isn't collecting models called kidnapping?

There's a [i]next[/i] G? In the last band we were tuned to B, dropped A sometimes, and I had a 72 and I still would rather have had something heavier

G? Would you not just take up bass? Oh, hang on

I'm not sure I'd say it's a matter of coping I don't really have any duplicates (ie, six Fender P's, etc), they're all different and I enjoy the differences. The bass nerd in me enjoys the different design philosophies and nuances of each. The bills get paid and there aren't any ongoing weekly costs to owning more than one, so I don't quite understand why anyone would worry about it.

I have a Noll in a bass of mine and it's probably the fattest sounding preamp I have, thin and trebley are not two words I associate with it

When I think about all the gigs I did carrying that bloody great, heavy (albeit beautiful) Fryette to gigs and I could've just taken one of those out of my pocket

I've got a 4x12 no-one is interested in buying which I'd like to hear it through

I can see them selling gazillions of these, I know I want one at that price http://www.dv247.com/guitars/orange-micro-terror-guitar-amplifier-head--93542 www.orangeamps.com/micro-terror/

Victorialand by the Cocteau Twins, going to ease into this day gently
