  1. Anybody got one of these, or had much experience?

    I love how they look, and in the last 18 months i've had a Double Bass smashed and an AEB nicked, this seems to cover both.

    Love their acoustic guitars, just want to see whether people on here had much experience.

    Played one years ago and can't remember much, I wasn't much of a player at the time....

    Four Strings? Yes, I'd like this in an IV.

    The Justice and Decision...meh, like the dual bucker look.

    I just don't like the polepiece/rails combo on the pickups, this is pretty hot though.

  3. I really want an Attitude LTD II or the new one, I can't explain why, I do not need one, It wouldn't fit in with my bands music or 'Image' I just think they're stupidly cool...I'll never say this again outside of this thread.

    Must say, the BB3000 reissues knocking around in fs are so pretty, wish I had the coin.

  4. I just wish the dean logo was toned down - It's really dated looking.

    Particularly in Red, why didn't they go for Gold on the webs and inlays, and use the more modern script logo you see on the edge basses?

    Also, the headstock they use on the Fenderbirds (as per the hillsboro?!? Sig basses) Is really fecking ugly.


    For the Hendrix 'Gibson' we saw the press release before the idea was eventually scrapped, we pissed our sides for about a month.

  5. To be honest, I've had a BB300 since 1998, it was old then, and it's even older now, just an amazing Precision type bass.

    I've sold Yamaha gear since 2003, and while it may suffer from a slightly M.O.R. image, I think their basses are fantastic in general.

    I've experienced very few problems with their gear in the 8 years i've been selling it, the first run of RBX374's and 75's had a preamp draining the battery issue, but that was years ago. The guys in service are usually fantastic, I've had some above and beyond back up from them in the past.

    I'm a huge fan of the BB2024/1024/424 they've recently been putting out, just short on funds to go the whole hog for a 2024x.

    I wish they did a current version of the TRBP in a 4-string, I like the 1004, but would love the piezo's etc.


    The Attitude at bass day last year - I was pretty shocked to be honest, it had basically travelled around all of the music trade shows over the course of a year or two and nobody had been maintaining it. A set of pliers, a few mini screwdrivers, and some allen keys - I would have sorted it there and then for them, think that's more to do with the product demonstrator, who I was less than impressed with...

    Anyhow, general thumbs up from me, but each to their own.

  6. Hello mate,

    Lakland are currently being looked after by Guitar Guitar.

    Headline who distribute PRS guitars in the UK did them for a while, and before that it was House Music/Bass Centre.

    You'll probably find most places have ceased stocking them at the moment - Most shops find buying their gear from another shop a bit difficult, as GG will be paying distributor prices, whereas anyone else will be buying from GG at a standard trade price usually a good few % more so GG see a decent markup.
    This also means if they decide to have a blowout, then nobody can compete with them. So nobody will entertain it.*

    GG Have cornered that particular bit of the market...take the train to Birmingham?

    *This is my assumption, by the way.

    Pretty exciting, it's the same as the old Les Paul Bass, but with a 10% bigger body, heard about these a while ago, and I think it looks more in proportion than the old version.

    This was something they did on the Buckethead signature guitar a while ago, looked daft on the guitar - but this works!

    The Goldtop is killing me, especially now I've decided I miss my Jack Casady enough to look for one...may just wait for these now, as it'll be somewhere in size between an LP and the JC.

    I also like the bass tune-o-matic, looks a bit neater than the old Warwick style tailpiece.


    Should end up costing less than the Guitar equivalent (how do they work that one out?!?!) £1400 at a rough guess including a hard case.

    I know not everyone loves the gibson basses, but i've deffo got a thing for them.

  8. This is it...the one that said goodbye to everything else.

    2007 Custom Shop 64 Jazz Limited Relic...

    Neck is halarious.

    The best Fender i've played, including oldies.

    And I've played and owned plenty.

  9. Jose bought my Fretless Fender Precision...

    Very smooth transaction, quick payment, and fun communications.

    Great guy to deal with - Buy or sell with confidence.

    Enjoy the bass mate - Best wishes...

    Andy

  10. the plate is original, Vol, Coil selector switch and stacked bass/treble...

    The pickguard is dodgy mad fitting, they were just really plain...no pickguard.

    I loved them, thought they were really good fun.

  11. Wayne - These weren't 1990's, more like 2004 ish. Mexican, they did a Strat and Tele too.

    That pickguard is non original too.

    £450 Is way off the mark, think they were that new!?

    They're cool, like a poor mans Stingray.

    This one isn't cool though.
