Are you building a collection? Only you made five other offers on five more basses last night. Or are you just hedging your bets? -
If my G&L JB goes, I’m ’avin this. -
Ah ok. Could you send some pics over please? 😊

G&L Tribute Series JB jazz bass, listed as Lake Placid Blue but actually is more like a metallic ice blue - very nice. Hard rock maple neck, rosewood fretboard with block pearl inlays, G&L saddle-lock bridge which is magnificent and makes this bass sing. Controls are standard volume/volume/tone. I’ve played this on and off for around 18 months but haven’t touched it for a while now as I have other basses I use more often. There are a couple of tiny imperfections (very small dents in the paintwork but not through to the wood) which I have tried to photograph - one on the top horn and one by the control plate that were there when I bought it brand new. These are barely noticeable and obviously do not detract from its playability. Strung with a fresh set of Fender nickel-wounds 45-105. £290 collected or £320 shipped. Located on the Isle of Wight, but can meet at any of our ferry ports (Portsmouth/Southampton/Lymington/Southsea). I have a box I can ship it in (will bubble wrap the hell out of it), will probably use Royal Mail as they seem to be the best of a bad bunch.

Got my first short scale yesterday. Fair to say I’m smitten. 😊

Warwick Red Label strings, anyone tried 'em?
Grassie replied to stingrayPete1977's topic in General Discussion
I used to swear by them. But the last two sets I bought were poor; set one were corroded near the ball end, with a dead E string, set two were a little better but again, the E string was noticeably duller sounding than the rest of the set. I moved over to Fenders. -
Why can’t I buy coloured pickup covers for a jazz bass, that aren’t black, white or cream?

Would you be interested in a trade...? -
Oh man... too close to Christmas, and I've just spanked the credit card on a new amp...
-
Oh stop! Can anyone smell GAS?
-
Nah, they're not the same are they? The OG Gibbos were never PJ configurated. But that T bird is quite nice:)
-
I don't like: Burst finishes 3-point bridges Active basses (except for Stingrays) Pointy basses (BC Rich in particular) Most of these horrible hand made things that are made out of cr@p like woodworm-riddled slabs. Pretentious nonsense.
-
Very nice! Can't understand why Epiphone don't do a version of this, or a non-reverse Tbird...

New combo purchased (GK MB410 II), had the 2 x 10 combo serviced, took it to a rehearsal on Wednesday and had it running for a couple of hours straight with no issues. Gigged it last night and the distortion issue came back again, so have spanked the credit card on the new unit - £699 from Polar Audio. Not bad considering Andertons list it for £1200... My 2 x10 ext cab is up for sale on BC if anyone is tempted, but I'm not sure what to do with the old combo. Maybe list it anyway and invite offers...
-
Given that I don’t have funds for a new combo at the mo, I think I’m gonna have to go with a head to go with this cab for now, until I can squirrel away enough for a new rig. Any recommendations for a suitable head to match this cab welcomed… 😊
-
Currently window shopping. Thanks for the nod re Barefaced. 😊
-
I was running the extension cab occasionally for bigger gigs, but the combo on its own was fine for most occasions. Anyway, I’ve just had a call from my tech to say that he’s noticed that when it powers up there is a slight crackle (I hadn’t noticed) which he suggests could be the class D power unit on its way out. 😞
-
Hi Joel, Could you be more specific regarding your experience with these cabs? I've run my combo with this cab and have had nothing but great things to say about GK based on this configuration. What in particular made you change over to another brand?
-
A bit fuzzy, but clear enough…
-
Hi all, This might seem like an obvious question, but when it comes to amps I'm a bit light in the knowledge department. Basses - yes, I can chat all day, amps - not much of a clue to be honest... So, my question: I have a GK MB210 II extension cabinet that I might need to buy a separate head for, as my combo has gone in for repair and might not make it back. Can I run say an MB series head through the cabinet (it's not a powered cab) or will it need a powered cab? Any help/advice gratefully received and appreciated. Cheers.

Ernie Ball Stainless flats for 5 string bass - 25 squids on Amazon. And they sound marvellous.
