Metallica's Trujillo Rescues Jaco Pastorius' Bass of Doom
Schnozzalee replied to Grand Wazoo's topic in Bass Guitars
I really don't get Metallica at all, nothing else matters is a good song though I recognise that. Never expected to see Jaco's instrument in Trujillos hands, I'd prefer it if it was in a museum and the guys from Gospel chops brought it out for a bass festival or something. I don't think its benefitted the pastorius family at all, RT owns it w***in about on stage looking like a monkey, did I mention I don't get metallica? Vastly overrated and I'm a heavy metal fan. Urrgh, I'm annoyed. If you listen to 'The Essential Jaco Pastorius' CD you'll see why, from genius to retard - Pastorius used to leave me cold when I first heard him but listen to that...then St. Anger... -

[quote name='bassmeg' post='884348' date='Jul 2 2010, 09:09 PM']Well, to be fair the G&L has been replaced by an amazing Aria, and that is stopping the Fender being played. Would like to see some pics Schnoz. '78 to late for you? [/quote] Cirrus vs Aria would be a good youtube comparison for the Duran fans! Aww poor G&L, I love the Super P sound too much I think. I sure do have some pics just PM me a convenient Email Addy and they'll be coming your way. Ahh the '78 is a spanner in the works

[quote name='bassmeg' post='884342' date='Jul 2 2010, 08:56 PM']That Cirrus looks lurvley. Always fancied one of these.[/quote] Pretty stunning finish wise, mine just a 4 string version of that. I'd recommend trying one out, you'd be just as pleased with it as your G&L! Glad to see your keeping the '78, sounds great on your myspace recordings

Its gonna be another week until I can consider posting this one guys. I'm glad its not a bike lol! I'm still thinking about keeping it, the woodgrains purdy. I can imagine a sub being less warm with more punch, this is more of a high output Phat P/J bass but does R'N'B nicely . Also does a passive style P/J (the bass is not active)

Maple looks best, feels better - but its all about the sound! Rosewood is better, gotta have some warmth on a jazz. If your a slap guy pick graphite. Rosewood looks better on vintage instruments.

(wallet is in also in agreement!) [/quote] Haha it is tempting, I may well do. The electronics are phenomenal, but its either this or the USA Cirrus. G&L's are better in the mix I feel.

Hi BCers, Got this in a trade from MB1 a the start of the year, wouldn't mind keeping it: A particularly nice G&L L2000 Tribute - looks like an older version (No made in Indonesia sign!). Its natural swamp ash with a hard rock maple neck and fretboard with that all important 21st fret. Its surprisingly light 8lbs-ish! The electronics are the same as the USA model with the big active/passive which I love, favourite electronics to date. Swirling in the pop zone and a mark above the heel. Comes with hardshell case and new strings. Punches well above its weight, very versatile. Nothing else to say. Full review: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT4AP58jC5o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT4AP58jC5o[/url] £350 collected from Cardiff or £365 Posted, price is firm - I'd rather keep it for any less! No trades. Bank Transfer/Cheque only. No Paypal. P.S Apologies to MB1 for using his photos :blush: [attachment=51024:G_L_L2000_1.jpg] [attachment=51026:G_L_L2000_4.jpg] [attachment=51025:G_L_L2000.jpg]

Poll: Which Fender Jazz would you buy & why?
Schnozzalee replied to OutToPlayJazz's topic in Bass Guitars
I've never had the pleasure of playing a Jazz other than an American Standard in Cranes Cardiff. They can't set up basses for sh*t so I wasn't impressed. Quietly spectating, I'd trust Bubinga5 on this one - he's probably tried every Jazz lol. -

I put up whatever price breaks even or would please me first, buyer second. I'd expect that as a buyer too. Only when i'm in financial trouble will I drop it below. If it takes someones fancy, they'll pay for it without making a lower offer - I always seem to do that with Charvel gear :wub: . Also I dont think a fretless should be worth less than a fretted ever. Getting it fretted is criminal, I started on a fretless and the feel/sound is beautiful but I wouldn't play it exclusively, half the time though at least. Fretless P's create my favourite tone, I reckon I could manage the neck too. Question is P retro or no P retro?? Lovely bass, would pitch an offer if I could own more than one I love S/R/T finishes...and lamp
