    Thanks for this. I've saved the thread for future reference in case my GP7 (which I've also owned since 1991) ever plays up. Apart from some occasionally crackly pots, it's fine. Not bad for 23 years, really.

    Yup. Love my 5. Sorry Tom, but I'm a face to face sort of fella. Postmen make me nervous.

    Heh. If you happened to be planning a cruise in the Peaks anytime, I'll have the bass and join you in my old NA..... [attachment=163275:DSC00212.jpg]

    Aw poop. Saw this too late. I was thinking about trading Recurve number 55: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0055-recurve-4-string/ ....cos I'm missing the Warwick Thumb I had a few years back :-(

    Rhys had my Euro LX off me. No probs at all and a great guy to boot. I heartily recommend him to all! :-)

    [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1330888866' post='1564448'] This looks like the bass I sold on this very forum, it is excellent and a bargain NT at this price. [/quote] Hey Oldman. This one was, indeed, yours if I remember right. I bought it from Bassulike a few months back. I'd be keeping it if it wasn't for the Shuker 'cos it's a beastie.

    [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1330942782' post='1564937'] Er you can [/quote] Rhys is having this one. By happy chance, he was also the first to PM me ;-)

    .......and Rhys currently has first dibs if we can fix the details.

    Hey all, It's time to move my LX5 along due to needing to pay towards my custom Shuker build. I'll miss it, but needs must. It's a couple of years old in near mint condition, sports the optional black hardware and the updated Tonepump preamp. It's strung with new DM Blue steels and the alder/maple body resonates like there's no tomorrow. Shall we say £600 collected?

    [quote name='jonniejames' timestamp='1322047244' post='1445713'] ok, thanks you miserable cat! Well, seeing as previously I was only asking for £600 and so I don't acquire a dodgy reputation, £600 is what I'm asking for, final answer. [/quote] Bargain!

    In fact here's a another pic of it...... [attachment=89615:euro6.jpg]

    "which is a hot hot HOT preamp" Yes, but not necessarily in this one 'cos it has the Tonepump with the output adjustment pot. So it won't fry yer gear.

    Lovely bass, this one. Andy lent it to me for bit and not only is it a total stunner, it sounds awesome. Like all the euro's I've tried, it has a fantastic slap sound. I'm currently attempting my first 5 string bass in the form of a Euro 5 (which sounds pretty much the same).

    [quote name='Fullmetal' post='1353950' date='Aug 27 2011, 10:48 PM']Back to a previous point, can anyone verify whether these basses emit a low hum at all? I've seen a few reviews which seem to comment critically on this issue :S Just wondering if it's a problem which has been fixed or if the problem still exists in new models.[/quote] Mine never hummed. But they are single coil pups running through an active pre so you're going to get some noise when a pup is solo'd. They're good guitars and the pre-amps are very decent. I thought the pups were particularly well judged and the neck finish was excellent. The neck pocket fit on mine wasn't great and the finish on the body could have been better, but it played very well and sounded the business

    [quote name='BigJim' post='1351106' date='Aug 25 2011, 11:01 AM']Bump for just recorded with it[/quote] Cool. Can we hear?

    [quote name='mcnach' post='1350913' date='Aug 25 2011, 12:12 AM']Pretty much what I suspected. Thank you.[/quote] You're welcome
  23. desmondpot
    ..........or not unless you have a particularly bad bridge, anyway. I know an £18 Gotoh 203 is just as good as a Badass. Better IMHO.
  24. desmondpot
    [quote name='mcnach' post='1350871' date='Aug 24 2011, 11:08 PM']Ok, someone has to do this: does it *really* make a noticeable difference to be worth the cost? really? [/quote] No.
  25. desmondpot
    [quote name='Musicman20' post='1350841' date='Aug 24 2011, 10:30 PM']+1[/quote] I like Schallers and Gotoh, the 203 in particular. Very underated.
