    That was depressingly sensible and well argued..........until the very last point

    Goodness, were they really? For some reason I didn't see The Tubes live until about '79.

    Have you considered putting a decent harness in first, as than can make a significant difference. Kiogon on here does great work at a fraction of the cost of new pickups and will work with you to get the sound you want.

    I think it depends on what you're playing. The first instrument I learned was a violin (tuned in 5ths), so playing the bass was initially a bit odd. However intervals like a minor 3rd on the same string can be a bit of a stretch down at the money end on a bass tuned in 5ths so I can see what many bassist stick with the standard tuning given their role in a band context. An octave played across two strings suddenly becomes a bit weird too! Solo bassist have more freedom in this respect clearly. Also bear in mind the Cello scale length is around 27-28" (from memory) so a bit easier to stretch.

    You can get them from the GBBL site, FB just directs you back there.

    It's just the musical version of the seven deadly sins isn't it? Lust - Naked desire to own new toys Gluttony - Have plenty but want more Greed - This will make me a better player Sloth - Rather buy new things than practice with existing things Wrath - Can't afford it but what can I do to get it Envy - I want one too (e.g. Fender Flea and countless others) Pride - Rinse and repeat For the avoidance of doubt I plead guilty on all counts Your Honour

    I agree, SAHB are definitely a bit harder to classify. I think they were the forerunners of bands like The Tubes in many ways.

    Sorry, no. Not in our skill set

    No problem Dave. Not sure if I'd necessarily describe many of our typical audience as young though You should hear them singing the SAHB version of Delilah that we do.

    Sounds great. We do 20th C. Boy and Shang a Lang. This last one despite its general cringeworthiness normally lights the place up. We're going to try out Radar Love on the unsuspecting punters on Saturday. Not really the same genre though.

    I'm curious about the "narrower, taller" frets.

    Couple of SB14s on here now, I seem to remember them having nice and slim necks. Well within budget.

    What's wrong with buying British?
  16. ead
    I think you'll find this one is for metal...

  18. ead

    Does it work in Scotland too?

    For sale is this is the new shape California II in TT4 (Jazz bass) configuration. The bass has Abalone dot markers on the fretboard which was a cost option. This high quality German-made Sandberg bass is almost exactly 2 years old and is in excellent condition as I hope the pictures show. I have replaced the standard fit Vol/Blend/Tone harness with a Kiogon made traditional Vol/Vol/Tone harness and will include the original item. The Sandberg pickups have been replaced by Hot Rod/Wizard custom 74J single coil items for more bite and snap. Cream and black pickup covers included (cream currently fitted). I would prefer to arrange some kind of delivery/collection/meet up if at all possible. I'm pretty flexible and willing to travel a bit if necessary. Courier would be the last resort and will be at cost to you. Very good value I feel at £795. These basses retail at around £1,500 in shops so grab yourself a bargain! Features/Specifications: · Alder body with Maple neck and Rosewood board, Abalone dot inlays, 22 frets plus a zero fret · Light at under 8 1/2 lbs in weight · Fabulous neck with a 38mm nut width and a satin finish, so beautiful to move around on · High quality Sandberg chrome hardware with lightweight tuners · Gloss black finish on the body; black/white/black pickguard · Unmarked as far as I can see · Passive Kiogon V/V/T harness · Wizard/Hot Rod custom 74J pickups · Comes with the high quality Sandberg gig bag and tools If you have any questions at all, or require additional pictures of any details please ask away and I give as comprehensive an answer as I am able. Here are some pics. Please note the bass is currently modelling the cream covers but I have the black ones too.

    Precision bass

    I'm sure I saw a Squier SIlver Series P on Evilbay, that would be an option.
  23. ead
    /\ This, second hand you can get a very high spec bass for very reasonable money.
  24. ead
    I've never seen one and I have one of the Contemporary Jazz basses from new. I would suggest emailing/calling Overwater in Carlisle.
