I know what you mean. It's just funny that I've ended up with the Fallout ( wish I still had my USA one) being such a useful bass to me. A great mid way point sonically between Fender's greatest hit designs, it covers a lot of that ground, but being short scale it's good for my dodgy left arm and shoulder. Incredible note balance too. If those G&L designs work for you, they do really offer something.

I’ve just always used Lozz - with records/publishing etc that’s what I’m listed as for credits.

All sorted now thanks for your help guys

I have a Guitarist friend who I have known for years. For a very long time he has been known as 'Dank Foreskins'. It's actually an anagram of his name.

For me, for G&L to continue as a brand they have to keep making premium quality guitars and basses in the USA. I know the Tribute range has its fans, but without the USA range and it's heritage they have nothing to be a tribute to. What I want is top quality American-made instruments. It's so depressing when prestige brands become a hollowed-out shell of themselves churning out budget fare which bears little or no relation to what garnered their reputation in the first place except the name . It's happened too many times already. If G&L go the same way then it's another brand might as well have gone completely as far as I'm concerned.L

My main bass now is a Tribute Fallout, so much of the basic wood working seems identical, along with the paint job ( colour notwithstanding, blue versus red metallic), to my Son's Squier Bullet Mustang guitar. Both made in Indonesia...I'm guessing the Cort factory? Fender can carry on the Tribute line as it was at the stroke of a pen if that's the case.

Now includes a Basic " Sonik " GigBag. -
Because the previous owner took the Aria one off 😁. But I know what you mean. I've considered a 'Matsumoku' one in the Rickenbacker style but that's wrong as well. I've got no reason not to believe it wasn't badged as an Aria originally.

Left my bass at a mates for a few weeks and got it back today and noticed the skunk stripe is slightly raised - doesn't affect how it plays really but I'd love to get it sorted. Is it gonna be an expensive luthier job? Or something I can sort myself. Cheers.

Fancy that, you live 1 minute down the road from my aunt, who doesn't play the bass.

After a lot of research, I went uber-cheap. https://cpc.farnell.com/citronic/casa-10ba/active-10-sub-300w-rms/dp/LS06176 I don't actually need 'capable' and I already own more high-quality PA kit than is good for a man; what I need is 'suitable for tiny playing areas, usually in venues with lousy acoustics' where all that matters is form factor and (above all) light weight. I'd never take a Citronic 1x10 sub to a serious gig, given that I already own two 2x10 subs and a 1x15 sub, and more importantly most of my gigs have no need for a sub-woofer at all. But I always have a benchmark tiny pub in mind, the sort of place where there's nowhere near enough room for the band / there's a 5'7" ceiling / the bar is five feet in front of the band / the load-in is a complete nightmare. My benchmark used to be The Red Lion in Leighton Buzzard, then it was The White Hart in Chalfont St Peter, and now it's The Load Of Hay in Bushey Heath. Places like this need tiny speakers for all sorts of reasons, so I can use my QSC CP8 monitor wedges as PA tops instead but obvs they really don't handle bass very well. A tiny, lightweight, lowish-quality sub is exactly what I need to re-balance the system. @Chienmortbb suggested the Wharfdale and I'm actually a fan of their stuff but it weighs 21Kg so is only marginally lighter than the 23Kg MarkAudio units I already have. Where the Citronix scores is that it weighs just over 16Kg. Because of the handle placement it's still a 2-handed lift, but a very easy one. I can still manage the Mark Audio units but it's getting harder every year to lift those buggers into the back of the car and then manoevre them around. 🙄

I have a 300W 1100 combo, plenty loud enough for any gig IMHO. I also have a 500W Bass Terror through a GRBASS cab. I don't know how loud the modern rig is because it gets too loud for sanity if the master control is past 8 o'clock. I'm not saying Traces don't deliver, but in my experience class D has no problems delivering the goods. (And 500W RMS is lots more power more than 300W RMS, volume wise it's my very efficient cab that's making most of the difference).

It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need R&B: Inspired by* the ‘68 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late 60s and early 70s clean, fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young bassist, James Jamerson. Rock: This model is inspired by* a classic of the genre, the ’74 Ampeg® SVT®, which has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. Now, all the tone of the head and 300-pound behemoth 8x10 cab is available without having to lookup a chiropractor. Brit: Based on a ’68 Marshall® Super Bass, this model delivers the kind of overdriven bass sounds brought to us by late ‘60s British rock pioneers like Cream and The Who.

Electronic® Chorus. This is the most transparent, smooth and expressive chorus ever built for bass—and using it won’t reduce your low end. It’s especially beautiful with fretless basses. Synth: Sitting at the back of the model knob is this secret weapon that turns LowDown into a ’70s classic bass synth. From funk to modern rock, this fully adjustable synth delivers incredible tones while tracking every dynamic move you make! Compatible Foot Controllers: FBV Express FBV Shortboard -
No, one of the main points of distinguishing "real" Ric basses from the copies, was the fact that genuine 4001/4003 basses had 2 truss rods. Where as a lot of the clones only had 1 trussrod so just taking of the TRC, gave you a good indication what the bass really was.

Sorry - for some reason I didn’t recall it well enough to remember they were wonky

Purchased from this forum 6 months ago for a specific project and is now surplus to requirements. it’s a great unit, loads of info online regarding these. No original box or carry bag (it came off a board) but does have its own generic power supply. Any questions, just ask. Cheers Steve-

I wish I had kept the directory but it's long gone. They didn't let my mate join as Gabriel F*ck (without the asterisk!!).

Of course it is. What a plonker! The link on the Holland tune wasn't working so I redid it and forgot I had 'unsaved' the Colosseum link. Should be correct now.

We have a winner!

I've mentioned this before. When I first joined the MU, you could join using your stage name. This was in the late 70's, and they also produced a local directory, listing the various members by instrument and stage name. The Portsmouth directory of the time listed the bass playing occupant of 14 Highfield Avenue, Waterlooville as Jaco Pastorius. I cannot understand how I managed to join with that name, but there it was.
