I think this thread is rapidly going down the pan....

How do you know they were off a Squier? I don't know how you tell , sorry. I have the same dilemma. I suggest buying off here because no-one wants their reputation sullied by mis-selling.

The G&L will really bite you, they are amazing basses. The sunburst you speak of is my favourite, I've just bought one off here, I already have a natural/maple, a blueburst/maple. I'm now selling all of my other basses.

How come he is giving you 400 euros when you paid 250? Just get rid, you won't be happy 'till you do.

Am I right in thinking that if you have no money in your payscam account they [b]can't[/b] take money out of your bank account directly? If they can invade your account I'm closing my paypal account today and stuff ebay. This smells like a scam, just follow all the excellent advice here, especially Mr Beedster's psychic powers

A[/quote] TBH I'm not in the least bothered. I bought them to play about with and I've started on my navy blue one. Here's the white one: I also have a red one with a lacquer crack on the back, not sure about that one.

This: Then my G&L L-2000 trib's

I have 2 spare ones, sonic blu & white. They have small chips where the neck join is, here: The white one is only a slight chip, much less.

What basses were on the scene in 1946?

It's on my wall and I keep lookig at it. it's a thing of beauty is't it? Still trying to get used to the tones, it's very different to my G&L. Cracking bass though but you know that already [quote name='TRBboy' post='1154284' date='Mar 8 2011, 07:05 PM']I've regretted selling basses on many occasions. Trouble is, unlike when I was younger and had no responsibilities, I now have to operate a strict 'one in one out' policy. So if there's a bass I really want I have to sell something first to fund it. Worst mistake I made was hastily part-exing my 5-string Warwick thumb, for a used, 4-string, base model, Warwick Corvette. The shop offered me a straight swap and I took it! Idiot......... I'm already regretting selling my TRB1004 to Tom (and he only received it yesterday!).[/quote]

I have 2 G&L -L 2000's and lusted after the 'ultimate' USA model. Well I got one and was disappointed as hell. My Trib's are far better imo.

[quote name='edstraker123' post='1152559' date='Mar 7 2011, 03:05 PM']Anybody know of a shop in the North West with a Sue Ryder in stock (not Navy.) I've phoned all of the local stores without any success. If I can track one down they may be able to transfer it to my local shop. I could drive to pick it up if it wasn't too far. Ed.[/quote] Hi Ed, I have a new Sonic blue and a white complete with gigbags, strap & tools if you're interested? Could ship to you for about £13. + the cost of the bass £60 Just if you don't get fixed up regards, Tom.

In defence of Mr Wazoo I have changed the wiring on a Squier that had plastic covered wire and small pots and while it didn't make the earth shake the progression of the volume and tone was much more evenly spread, not 'on or off' like the original. What does the capacitor do? How necessary is it?
