Thanks bud, I'll give it a thought. Those pics though 😍 you're a wicked man 😂 -
How does the B sound for a 34" string thru? Beautiful looking bass and great price!
-
Why do those frequencies work for you? Why are they better?
-
Not saying you can't, anything is possible but I think anyone looking for an amp or cab aren't going to be looking at PA Monitors. -
"Amps and cabs" don't think you'll find anyone playing bass through them 😂

Wow... 🧐🤨 -
😂🙌🏻 This used to be mine, also @Gust0o Fantastic bass, as stated lightweight and sounds nothing short of amazing. I don't believe that's the original case though, as it was more 80's hot pink, than a crimson red. -
withdrawn - played it again and it's too good to go 😍 -

Oh god no! What have you started? I got you @Cuzzie😂😂😂 The pickups in this G&L are actually pretty good in fairness but MFD... Nope! It's commonly known about Leo Fenders hearing loss and how he'd overwind pickups to compensate for it. Well made instruments, granted I've owned a few G&L guitars and basses but mentioning MFD's, I can only hold Cuz back so much before he lets loose 😂

Wow! Looks incredible but for that price point, I think I'd have to sell some body parts on the black market 😅😂
-
On paper it speaks for itself as a quality item, I'd just hunt one down and try it in your own hands 😁👍🏻
-
Gone! Sold via Facebook sales. Thanks to @AndyTravis and @Cuzzie for the kind words -
Sorry dude, from someone who plays 34"/35" basses, 32" is definitely short in my terms 😅😂but thanks for the correction buddy, I'll amend that now. Hope you're having a good weekend Mr Lowdown 😉👍🏻

Location: Eastham, Wirral. NW, UK. Condition: Used, some minor wear. Reflected in price Price: £509 £485 inc UK mainland postage Trades accepted, Trade Value £500 see comment. Obtained this awesome bass earlier this year to go alongside my late Yamaha Attitude 25th Anniversary bass as a more functional gigging bass- however I never got to take it out of the house in the end but still sat proudly in my bass collection as a fascinating "one off" instrument. It's foundations are on a Fender Squier Classic Vibe 51 neck on a Fender Squier Mike Dirnt Pbass body (inc neckplate and pickguard) However it's been modded with some Hipshot HB10 tuning machines which are solid construction, quality tuners and a matching Hipshot BT7 D-Tuner. Fender American Deluxe bass bridge- grooved and plated brass saddles. Neck pickup: DiMarzio Will Power™ Neck Middle pickup: DiMarzio Model P Custom electronics: Volume for Will Power™ Neck pickup Stacked Volume and Tone for the Model P Middle pickup. An absolute rock solid bass in construction and sound: something not to be assumed for being a cheap alternative bass whilst armed with USA Hipshot and Fender hardware or sounding less than a Yamaha Billy Sheehan BB714BS with actual DiMarzio pickups and not Yamaha own made pickups and electronics.

I do like a heavy bass when it comes to recording, I find there's a better sound perhaps due to the mass(?) and there's something about a feel about a heavy bass when it comes to playing one but given I don't stand up and rock out when recording, I do have slightly lighter basses for playing live and my back does feel a lot more relief this way. Early memories of playing some heavy Ibanez SR basses and having dead shoulders (even on a wide strap) after a gig is something I don't miss.

I think you'll struggle with the ball ends on the strings, as the Bass VI ball ends are more so 'guitar size' which will probably pull through the bass ball end sized bridge. I'm pretty sure the frets are somewhat different between a Bass VI and a short scale bass and sound of Bass VI strings through a bass pickup is going to be weak and thin. There's quite a few Bass VI instruments out there, I'd be tempted to give them a try but the Ibanez SRC6 is definitely a good shout.
