I love that rig Oli, wonder if my church would think it was overkill???/

[Schnozzalee]

Looks the biz doesn't it? haha! Well looked after too I wish I my church had a band . I was kinda using it for bedroom practice . Works well at low volumes as well plus its light and small so I didn't mind or need anything else! I think its 1200 watt bigger brother is a lil extreme however unless you end up playing for someone like U2.

Took me 5 years to realise it was my amp that was the reason behind my basses displeasing me tone wise - musta gone through about 15 beginner/intermediate/ pro basses before I found the Genz...(and your bang for buck G&L ) If you watch that Ed Friedland chap reviewing all those different basses on youtube he uses a benz, does the lot.

I'm definately taking it into account when I eventually buy my guitar amp - its 80% of the setup easy. This will be funding that :brow:

I absolutely love the G&L Oli, can't put it down.

[Schnozzalee]

Good i'm glad! Pretty sure 'Rayman' was using the same setup as me too, a winning combo! You'll have to let me know what its like if you try it with flatwounds - I never got round to it but i'm betting it may even be better.

[tom1946]

I'm not a fan of flatties so it won't see them anytime soon

Can't get over how deep and heavy the sound is at low volume, you can swim in it

Haha, twas a wicked find on your part, after that I really fancied one of the new retro Jazz models G&L are making. If you get Andy Travis' Ric you'll have to let me know about the necks! I've never plucked up the courage to buy one blind ...but the sound is definately me!

[Schnozzalee]

This is gonna finish soon, still hasn't gone - the mind boggles. Why are there so many watchers for a 'buy it now' item??

[Schnozzalee]

Anybody want this before I relist it again??

[tom1946]

What a shame you're in Cardiff, phew!

Happy to give you a decent travelling discount Tom haha
