Go for the LB, with my passive Precision or Jazz basses, at 'home volume' it's perfect IMO you'll be pleased you did

Hi Bert, I can only speak for the Little Bastard, mine is the 1st - Serial Number 1 - of the hand made UK 100. I've had it from new, straight from the factory & it's been used almost every day since. Not a problem, day in day out, so ultra reliable in my experience & the tones available are everything an all valve amp should be, can't fault it, does everything I want in a amp. I must admit, it's old school, that's just right for me. Traditionalness? Yes indeed, absolutely in bucket loads I've recently bought a new MiBass 220 for the 'alternative' sounds & the portability, it does exactly what it says on the packet with Ashdown tones by the ton. Can't comment on the PRC made LB models, other than I've not heard of any problems with them. Haven't touched an Orange amp for 30 or more years I suppose, they were good in the day but I always used HiWatt I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies from the current Orange Bass Terror owners to balance with my views. Cheerz, John

Is it just the one bass you get this with - have you tried another?

Talk to GAK & insist on a replacement, you're well covered by distance buyer legislation to return it for any reason.

I particularly like the "[color=#333333][font=Arial][size=1][b][size=5] white felt bushes that I get from Holland[/size][/b],[/size][/font][/color]" I reckon that's what he's been smoking

^ As above ^ I made a Jazz bass wiring kit for Dean this time, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John

The Bass Doc is a master of all things pickguard, send him a PM he's a diamond geezer

Resurrecting a > year old Peanuts thread? They'll be past their best I'm sure, maybe green & mouldy, probably best left down the back of the sofa

[quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1349883003' post='1831770'] but a Gilmour lookalike is a huge incentive! [/quote] Calm down Deb As much as I'd like to see another Floyd tribute, especially for a £10 ticket, sorry won't be there, but all the best with the gigs.

I made another 'special little' wiring kit for Lee, as always a complete pleasure to deal with, no messing, top geezer! Cheerz, John

The picture is fine, that's how it is, white from the pickup is the 'hot' the other side - black is ground.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1350550823' post='1840293'] As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to play until my hands seize up completely through arthritis or my brain turns so spongy I can't remember the notes (or where I put the bass in the first place, or what a bass is) [/quote] Hoi! I resemble that comment

I bought a new Traben that had the Volume & Blend pots swapped over in the wrong place. When I looked at another in GAK it was the same, I pointed out it was not as it should be according to the manual but they didn't bother about it, the usual "No-one else has complained".

I just bought a bridge from Gareth, exactly right, great comms. well packed & fast delivery. Perfect transaction with a top fella, deal with confidence. Cheerz, John

Looks about right to me I'd say real from what I can see not sure if the volume knob is a bit shiny Where's Rick?

TBH bit sick of it already Radio 2 have been playing it to death IMO, I keep thinking there's bits of several previous in it, not exactly new & original - more like a mash of some of the riffs Keef can still remember bits from & lyrics Shagger has embedded in his grey matter somewhere Can't imagine it sounding good live, if they [u]actually play it[/u] live, sorry chaps.

Part of the pleasure of having a brand new bass I'd say just wouldn't be the same without the ritual removing of the sticky stuff
