Totally get your point, I use GHS Boomers and if I had flats it would be tamer, but I like the grit of the Boomers. What I have is very old Boomers on the ASAT solid body as it is just a more meaty bass and with the thick neck, it really keeps the thud of a dense and classic almost Motown sound if I want. As I said before the semi hollow needs to keep strings in the new end so the rich harmonics sing. This bass really likes a pick being used. I keep fairly fresh strings in the L1500 as now I can do anything with it being able to control the tone and it is a finger machine. Here is some homework on reading the thread... http://www.bassesbyleo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1396

A fellow Bristolian - excellent!. I got this from the Basses by leo site, so i cannot lay claim to being a technological genius, but for me it has made a huge difference. I never played the bass with the knobw past about 75%, which so far as my understanding goes is how they were designed to roll at, due to them being super hot, but with the L1500 i just found the treble region too much, especially with the pre-amp on and was almost like finger nails on a blackboard. It nearly made me move the bass on, i even advertised it on here. I did this mod and the world changed. 1. Replacing the stock R7 resistor with a 22k resistor kills the treble boost when the preamp is on. 2. Replacing the stock capacitor on the treble-cut pot with a .1 uf capacitor enables more treble roll-off. 3. A .001 uf capacitor added to the bass-cut pot (center lug to back of pot) reduces the resonant frequency of the pickup, providing more low end all the time. The key with point 3 is to ADD the bass pot capacitor, not change it. I have so much low end it is a complete sub machine as well as being a funk machine. I love my ASAT number 7 neck it is powerful. Adore my ASAT semi hollow with its singing ability, fast number 8 neck and it can still be dirty, but after this mod i have not put down the L1500 and its number 12 neck. Its probably not my favourite Bec, I prefers the other extremes i have, but the sound i get is phenomenal. Happy to receive a pm for further discussion

I'm with Pinball except that I would have the ASAT, same electronics, but love the shape. Interestingly Pinball, have you modded your L1500 pre-amp and tone pots? I have and it's a whole new awesome beast!

This is my family!

Simply because they are really well made basses which sound absolutely brilliant. If you like a Fender you will like them, but they are so much more than that. The Pick ups have a bigger tone and palette to me, they will cover the Fender territory and give you more than that, add in the vast array of finishes and neck sizes available then you have an awesome template. The nuances between the line ups and their Pup placement really do give you everything you need across the board. I'll Post a pic in a bit

Thanks for answering on here and in TB! Keep up the good work, and don't forget to do the Tech21 dUg!

Well I have ordered a pair of these flare so I'll see what works for me!

Or get a Blonde finish and strip it back

Natural finishes on G&L basses!

Considered an LB-100 from G&L it's quality, essentially a Fender. Would you do a Warmouth build?

There is a '65 on gumtree with 'history' and the scars to show, but You may have to either barter v hard, or go broke!

Yes for ACS Interesting ones are acoustic DUBS, they do it block the most amount of sound, but donallow it to filter through. Unfortunately on this one, you get what you pay for and I would say that ears are priceless...

I know there are plenty to do, but I think adding In a Tecamp Puma would really be helpful as essentially it would allow people to accurately compare the EICH being the same inventor. Cheers

All guys mentioned are awesome, but here are some extras Muzz Gillings - Living Colour Tim Bogert - Cactus Todd Smallie- JJ Grey and the Mofro Jamal Nichols - Gregory Porter Norwood Fisher - Fishbone Francis Hylton - Incognito Mani - Stone Roses But without doubt the absolute best dUg Pinnick - Kings X, absolute genius

Hope you get it resolved buddy My LH1000 served me OK, but I am now moving it on. You would hope customers get a decent shout even in this day

Shall we finish the vowels GOS-Gear Oscillating Syndrome GUS-Gear Undecided Syndrome

Oh and it's great fun!!

Hello mate, Maybe I am about the same with you, but part of it with me is I only started playing about 2-3 years ago so I am on a quick curve with gear as I am a working man and have a bit more income compared to starting as a teenager. Nowadays gear is easy to shift and pick up with here, Talkbass, gumtree, eBay etc. so it happens more than it used to. I lucked out early in my guitar search, took a punt and realised I like G&L basses so am fairly set, although I do have a minor I ch for a Ray, and pedals amps etc. Well it's a journey to get what your ears like. I would only call it GIS if you keep selling and re-buying the same equipment, if you buy and move it on its GES - Gear Experimenting Syndrome

This is a shame I saw clutch recently Awesome band live

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1481647189' post='3194016'] Umm. Kinda. Coloured in the highs, yes - super hyped, but nothing that can't be tweaked by the tweeter control on the rear. They sound more like PA cabs (which are meant to be uncoloured) compared to most bass cabs... which are more heavily coloured to have a bias in the mids. Running demos with different cabs is kind of fruitless as a cab has a major effect on the resulting tone. The only thing that can be deemed fair in an amp demo, is running the cab that the manufacturer themselves have been using whilst developing the sound of the amp... whether that is of their own manufacture or not - as that is the benchmark that the designer has been using and tuning their product with. [/quote] Point taken and no you cant run demos with multiple cabs, that would be too much, but was just trying to rationale the sound heard for an earlier persons comments, and it probably wasn't tweaked. They did just say we chose this cab as it is scandinavian.....which is not great, and they should highlight its strengths and weaknesses as not everyone will know as much as you do about the cabs. The key to that demo though was the lack of proper use of the EQ section and just flagrant knob twiddling

It's definitely a voyage with this one, i am loving it so far. I paired it with a Two Notes le bass before the VMT circuit and got some really nice harmonics and octaves with both distortion circuits hammering together, felt like i was playing a Hamer 8 or 12 string

Have you looked at the Two Notes Le Bass? You can get clean as well as nasty channels in one pedal. The clean A channel on its own can be broken up to be a little gritty if you have the right bass for it. With the super hot G&L L1500 bass i can do this. I have this as well as DG B7k and VMT and can vouch for them all for different reasons

I agree of sorts with you, especially The clean sound, but what you had was the guy playing a lick and they were twiddling 1 knob full on and full off in succession and then back to neutral or somewhere else. The beauty is actually spending time with the amp as at every point amongst mids highs etc. They interblend with each other and then of course the gain knob will react with each frequency. It really is much more subtle (although powerful) than the review can say. The key is that the clean sound is awesome, which is actually the most important sound, if this is good then you can be assured the dirt will follow as it is great in their pedals. You have to remember also that EBS are quite coloured cabs, they put them together as they are Scandinavian-ish companies which is not the right reason! If I were you I would rush and try but have the time to sit with your bass and your idea of a sound
