Is this not similar to what the huge over the top looking pickups on Enfield basses do??

The Neo range are slighty mid shy compared to thier proline cousins, bu I actually prefer that. The do a very good sold clean bottom end, but also handle a well tweeked EQ if you want to recreate your Ampeg clunk. I've used ALOT of cabs... And was an ampeg and Markbass player for quite some time. But EBS have taken the lead by a lon way for me these days... And they are spook light for the power they handle!

[quote]"Yes, make a downpayment, but if you don't find the instrument to be devastatingly good, I'll refund your money, because I am SO convinced that this instrument is SO good that the next player through the door will fall over themselves to buy it" How many luthiers would pass that test?[/quote] Bernie @GB said pretty much that. Even a month after I'd had it he still said if I changed my mind he'd take it back... So it's possible. Needless to say his confidence is supported by the fact that his basses are amazing and there is Zero chance I was ever giving it him back!

Ebs Neo 212. Awesome cab, uber light weight. Handles 600w. Tweeter if you need one... An there's one for sale on this forum if I'm not mistaken. I own one and it's bloody fantastic!

The above is true... But I find as a rule of thb the resale value of custom gear is pretty similar to that of comparatively priced high end gear. As long as youndont have your name as an inlay Just bear in mind you'll never get back what you pay for it. I'd say make sure you play a few instruments from the Luthier your looking to make the instrumen for you. They may make different models, but they will have 'that feel'. that's what I did, and I own two custom Luthier builds... And they are truely stunning. Shep

Mike bought my sfx Red Dragon. Quick smooth transaction, no issues in any way, shape or form. Pleasure to do business with! Shep

[quote name='discreet' post='752172' date='Feb 20 2010, 08:29 PM']Agreed. And quite apart from the cost, would you honestly be seen in public playing it? It looks like some kind of... appliance. [/quote] "Zanussi release new range of musical instruments"

I agree it's far too much. Let's put the whole 'reasonably priced basses perform perfectly well' argument... I have 2 basses, both Luthier build, both with luxury options, one basically built to my exactibe spec from the cut of wood I chose to feel and perform just for me... It cost £3,000 LESS than the G3... If I can get the bass of my dreams two and a half time over for one G3... You do the maths!

[quote name='Flanker' post='751939' date='Feb 20 2010, 05:09 PM']Anyone remember this bass of mine.......is it still around? Looks nice![/quote] That is lovely!!!! Shame I only has 4 strings! Very pretty though. Havnt picked my Spitfire up this week, the Overwater was getting jealous... Think it's GB dy tomorrow

I recreated something VERY close back in college when I had to play this for my diploma... I had a DOD FX25b evelope filter and a DOD Phaser (can't remember what FX code it was), took a bit of time to get the filter sweep set to the tempo so it runs it's course between notes but it sounded spot on. The phaser was very little in terms of sweep, just to add flavour and phasing at the same speed as the filter. Was cheap well as back then I bought the pedals for £30 each brand new

Great quality bass for it's price. I can highly recommend it.

Jon bought my Schecter Studio 6 from me. He made the long train journey to collect and due to rubbish trains spent all of 3 minutes around the bass before forcing too much money into my hand nd doing a runner... Can't say better than that (Will paypal the extra back to ya bud!). Great communication throughout the whole deal and went out of his way to make the logistics of the deal work. Hope you like the bass dude! Shep

The description make me think Sikth, with Britney on vocals Scary thought... Welcome to the forum! Shep

EBS Microbass II for the win... In my experience it does what your asking for, and the tone out of it is lovely!

[quote name='Stag' post='744400' date='Feb 14 2010, 12:01 AM']Grunt. 450w of solid state Ampeg into an SVT 6x10. Love it.[/quote] Great endorsment pose... But seriously cheesy

My first ever at the time of my first gig was... A large H&H combo on wheels... I have no idea what model and an Ibanez bass (If I recall it had something like TR Reeves written on the headstock)...? Sounded awful... but that was more to my playing... Now - EBS Fafner & EBS Neo 212 and either My Overwater Evolution or my GB Spitfire... My god how times have changed :-)

Welcome to the most welcoming forum on the net

Schecter Studio are stunning for the money. Can't go wrong with a Squire 5 Jazz at around £279... A good set up and there a bargain... And well under budget!

Got mine second hand, it was a little fuzzy, bought a new valve for £17, result = perfect. If you get stuck with no joy after trying it, give Bernie a shout at GB guitars... He's the man for all things EBS. I assume you do have the drive knob set to zero ?

Yup, that dude is awesome... Funky as hell!
