All in good condition and perfect working order. However missing the belt clip from the transmitter. Didn’t affect me as I kept it locked into my strap. Hence bargain at £95. Can possibly post but prefer to meet. -
Shure GLXD16 System. This and its successor is easily THE best wireless system going for me. The receiver is a really solid pedal that doubles as probably the best and easiest to use tuner I've ever had on a board (the Quad Cortex tuner never gets used). The system has been gigged by me for years, always looked after but it's all picked up marks here and there over time, all cosmetic and photographed best I can. All is 100% fully functional and has never let me down, from small pub gigs to large outdoor festivals. The system comes in its original box and its power supply. I have never used the supply whilst I've had it, running it off a Cioks, however the supply works fine. Full disclosure, a bit of electrical tape may be in order just to cover up a bit of frayed wire. Few options with this one. £450 gets you the GLXD16 pedal receiver and transmitter in the box with its cable AND a second GLXD1 transmitter (sorry, no spare cable for this one) £350 gets you the GLXD16 system boxed with just the transmitter and cable it came with. £150 gets you one GLXD1 transmitter, if you don't need the rest of the system (again, no cable) Make sense? I'll include Special Delivery next day shipping with all. Prices are set on these really on these, GLXD1 transmitters tend to go around the £180 mark on eBay so the full package is the right deal here! Cheers! -

In true BC fashion, this thread is going deliciously off the rails. Two mentions of G&L in 15 posts, in a thread about G&L shutting down. Don't ever change, BC...

I own 3 V7's (1x5 and 2x4's) plus an M2. I love em'. I think Sire are very good value. Wouldn't hesitate buying another. The M6 looks exciting and intimidating (in 5 string). Love to know what they play like?🤔 Have to say there always seems to be used Cort Space's up for sale. Folk don't seem to hang on to them for too long

For those that believe "heft" is a myth, have a little tickle of a good bass through this rig. GLWTS. -
Then we agree. My point is why is it such a big deal that a company charges for an add on? Why would anyone expect it for free, or get upset that its not?

I rotate my practice bass but often end up back with my 40th anniversary Squier P. I try (often unsuccessfully) to gig one of my favourites and one of the others. I've managed to gig all my basses except the two Kay short scales, and one of those has done an open mic. Some have only done short sets or a few songs. My main bass from the early 90s got its first full gig (rather than one or two outings for the odd set) in 30 years last weekend. So I rotate basses slowly but do have my favourites.
-
Thanks for the reply. I've watched both these videos already and apart from these, as yet I don'believe anyone else has posted a review or demo - hence me turning to basschat forum 😊 Thank you too for the advice regarding multi scales generally. I have to say, it's exploring both headless and multi-scale that appeals.

Nick Beggs just paid £15000 for his old Wal Pro bass. I could have bought that bass from a chap in Norfolk in 1995 for about £475 if I remember correctly. I passed because I couldn't be arsed going all the way to Cromer. Thirty years ago Wal would do you a new bass for about £1100-£1200 if you went to the workshop with cash. You could get a decent used MK1 Custom for about £600, maybe a bit less if you were lucky. A new Status Series 1 or Series 2 cost a few hundred quid more than a new Wal. At that time Wal and Jaydee were considered a bit old-hat compared to newer Warwicks ect.

Isn't it! I remember first seeing it on Raw Power / Noisy Mothers the late night ITV rock music program when I was..well.. younger!!

...or the tank like build quality... The new Trace amps are really Peavey, a company who I may never trust after this which possibly explains the title to this thread (a lost art!):

Antoria Twin Caster Hollow Body Bass, need some advice
Catpain Scarlet replied to Catpain Scarlet's topic in Bass Guitars
I know this thread is from a while back, but just in case anyone’s still interested, here’s the finished bass - looking and sounding great! 😉 I asked a friend to check it over with a one minute demo. Antoria.mp4 -
I might try this next week...

Just to add that if Lenspeed price isnt affordable, someone can arrange their own courier. Happy to box it up -
There's actually a precise formula: Too many = how many you have now + 2 That means there's always room for one more...

I passed up a Wal for £250 in Cash Converters back in the mid-90s. It was a Mk1 with the V-shaped neck carve and it felt horrible in my hands. Would probably be worth a fortune now though. It was pretty much entirely because of Justin Chancellor of Tool that Wal got their second wind. After Aenima came out in 1996, you never saw a cheap Wal again. And now they regularly go for five-figure sums used and have a six-year waiting list if you want a new one.
-
I use the resale value as a metric to judge how much money I could get back. If you ever want or need to sell a bass, they worth what you can get for them and what you get for them may well dictate what you can get to replace them. I remember well when Wal basses were less valuable than today, but then again now they are grotesquely overvalued. They, and Status and JD, never super cheap in relation to other comparable basses, just relatively less overpriced than now. Plenty of those basses you are mention are very attractive, no question, but I just can't see me handing over cash for most of them.

Yup - it would be where that orange wire runs from the switch to the bottom-right (in the picture) pot, between the green sleeves to the two tone caps. So, you’re not going to get the Chris Squire sound.

In the sixties the MM was the go-to music paper. NME just wasn’t in it. In the seventies I used to read Motoring News.

I am on (extensive) record about these. There was never any situation I went in to that this did not deliver on. Backline with bonkers drummer and no PA support? No problem. Nice quiet gig but need rich sound anyway? No problem. Like the tone quiet, but disappointed that it all goes to mush when you turn it up? Not here. All the way down to the very bottomest B or A? Here it is. Do I fancy it? Not half. But my ears are shot and I no longer play with backline. Otherwise I would be sitting here telling you how rubbish it is as I planned my trip to pick it up. -
I have no great insight. It appears to be in the lap of the gods, more often than not. In any event, you always play your best and treat every gig the same. A guy I know played Woodstock and treated every gig with the same mentality.

Squier Classic Vibe Jazz bass - 2012 (original series)

Great basses. Beautiful necks. I’ve got a Precision that I took the neck off and replaced it with one from one of these. Perfection 😁
