[ebenezer]

As the title says...I rather like the look of these...good spec
and a great price!!is it worth a punt or do I look elsewhere.

I tried one in a shop. I liked. I probably would have changed the pups and pre to make it amazing but good feel

Ooh, I like - looks a little bit Sandberg TM to me.

Assuming it's just the 5 string version of the GB74, it's pretty good!

My GB74 is the natural finish one, extremely light, yet balanced. The pickups are ok, a bit polite but not bad. The preamp is useable, but nothing to call home about. That's the negative points: for me the electronics are not as good as they could, but they work alright and I gigged mine a few times stock, no problem. Mine cost me £150, used, bargain.

We have one of these, and I highly recommend them. Excellent value for money. As an anecdote, ours was played by 'Skeet' Curtis (see [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/1048-tenuous-claims-to-fame/page__view__findpost__p__2305030"]here ...[/url]); he didn't complain.

Thanks for your replies folks...may look around for a cheapy and change
pickups..nords maybe...hmm

I've had a few of the gb75's, the eq controls are a different lay out on the older ones (better) also the natural ones sound far better, I put an east retro in mine, it was seriously good.
Out of the same factory as the Lakeland skylines, hipshot tuners ect great value, the 5 string is a beast.

A U-Retro is waiting to be mounted on mine (GB74)! I also have a Nordstrand NJ4SE (neck) and a Seymour Duncan SMB4A in my collection of spare parts, which would turn this beauty into a beast
