  1. Like that a lot. Her and Dua Lipa seem to have a lot of love for a decent bass line. 😊
  2. G&L Tribute JB incoming…. 😎

  3. The guitar version is back in print (10 available) should any of our six string brethren fancy one… PM 4 deets… 😎
  4. Guys - I haven't forgotten you, I've been mega busy with other stuff (work and gigs mainly) but I should be able to get the prints in my grubby mitts by the end of the month, then I'll contact each of you individually to arrange delivery etc. Fanx.
  5. I had one for about 5 minutes earlier this year. Sounded great, looked great, but the neck dive was horrendous so I got rid of it.
  6. WITHDRAWN - MODS PLEASE REMOVE ***PRICE DROP - NOW £300*** Up for grabs is this lovely bass, I haven’t had it long but have realised I just prefer jazz basses, so this is being moved on. Finished in Alpine White, it features G&L’s brilliant MFD pickup which is a passive but powerful unit. Switchable between single coil/series/parallel, it sounds like a passive Stingray with loads of bottom end and punchy mids. The fretboard is rosewood (and a nice thick slab of it too) frets are decent. The bridge is G&L’s patented saddle-lock unit, which in my opinion is one of the best out there - the amount of resonance and sustain this thing puts through the body is ridiculous and no doubt adds to the punch you get from this bass. Bad stuff? There is a small ding in the paint on the front, and another on the back (both of which happened with the previous owner) that I have tried to photograph, but neither affect the playability of this instrument. I’m asking £300, brand new these go for upwards of £450 (although I think the white one is now discontinued). No case I’m afraid. Located in Newport on the Isle of Wight, and I’m very reluctant to ship as couriers do not seem to give a flying you-know-what about other people’s stuff, but I am willing to meet at one of the IOW ferry ports (Portsmouth/Southampton/Lymington)to do the deal. Thanks for looking. 😊

  7. I bought a Warwick one about 12 years ago - 3 inches wide woven job and I think I only paid a fiver for it new (in a sale somewhere). It’s great, much like the one posted by Doctor J above. Can’t find any now though.
  8. G&L Kiloton - not for me after all… ☹️

      I don’t mind a bit of weight, I get suspicious if a bass feels too light…. 😁

      Sweetwate has a few white JB-2s and publishes their respective weights:

      https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/JB2TrRSB--g-and-l-tribute-jb-2-bass-guitar-sonic-blue

       

      They all seem reasonable, not too light or too heavy.

       

      My newer candy apple red Kiloton is a little under 4.5 kg, which is lighter than the older 'Irish Ale' Kilotons.

      I’m not keen on the look of the JB 2s, prefer the OG JBs. 😊

  9. It’s so 90s sounding, it’s ridiculous. And that is a very good thing. 😎
  10. STP go jazz….😎
  11. I remember hearing Plush when it first came out thinking it was a new one from Pearl Jam (they were about to release Vs.), but I love it more than anything PJ have done (and their first two albums are brilliant). Sex Type Thing came along and I was in. 😊
  12. Cool, thanks! That man has some gear… 😁
  13. They’re my favourite rock band ever. Very dynamic, from huge rock tunes to delicate acoustic melodies and everything in between. This is one of my favourite album tracks - I don’t know what bass Robert is using here but the tone is fantastic. 😊
  14. I feel that they won’t replace Taylor. They can record with Dave playing drums, but in order to tour they’ll need someone.
  15. Just too sad. Such a shock to read about it on Saturday. If it is drug related then it’s a massive, tragic waste. I hope they do carry on. It would be another waste if Dave just said no more, although those sneakers of Taylor’s will be extremely difficult to fill. The only drummer I can think of that could come close would be Stephen Perkins.
  16. You’re on the list now, cheers! 😊
  17. William Cashion - Future Islands Jeremy Toback’s work with Brad.
  18. There’s no title yet, was thinking of calling it either 20 Iconic Precision Basses or The Precision Bass Collection 🤔🤷
  19. Of course! Thanks Billy. 😊
  20. Looking for a minimum of 10 “yes”s before I send the file off to the printers.
  21. Maybe I should’ve rendered it in it’s broken state though. 😁
  22. Oui bien sûr, pas de problème 😁
