hiya!

Just got my ticket! Am looking forward to it, it will be the 1st time ive been to anthing like this. Gutted am not gonna be able to get there early gotta drop my folks at the airport (how rock and roll is that) but hopfully should make it there for miday hope i dont miss anythig good!

You have to do this for the love of it. An if it aint fun then its dead in the water just my opinion I did the same I just put up with all the crap of missing practices for one reason or another. in the end we feel apart it just has to be fun

That's guys I will keep my eyes peeled then eBay sounds the best option if the bass centre are abit crap. I hate it when they sell u items not in stock. Gak have done that to me before now

Thats my weakness to gadgets! I think it would be handy because when i play with my mates its always drop tunning but at home I always play in standard. I didnt know if £85 was a little steep

Just been looking at the Hipshot BT1 and just wondered if anyone had a opinion on them if they are worth the money that the bass centre sell tham at, at £85 or if anybody knows a cheaper place if they are worth my hard earned notes£££ [url="http://www.basscentre.com/d-tuners/hipshot-bt1.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/d-tuners/hipshot-bt1.html[/url]

Welcome aboard btw.[/quote] [url="http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/pmtonline/"]http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/pmtonline/[/url] Here's the web site quite a big shop aswell good selection of gear

There aren't many music shops left in Manchester these days, so you might've seen me in one of them.[/quote] you right I only go to PMT really I dernt go in dawsons abit expensive for me ive heard

[quote name='Muzz' post='934173' date='Aug 23 2010, 08:56 PM']Hi Mate, If by your local shop you mean PMT, bear in mind they've got a 4003 in there for an eye-watering £1999, so they're not exactly cheap. It does look very nice, though, and, like folk round here who know more than me, I've never heard of or seen a Tribute 1500. It's certainly worth a look, anyway. Muzz[/quote] yeah PMT. Do You work there you pic looks familier? 2K is outta my price range with the order of the stingray at £1360. but i thought that this was well worth a look tbh ive only just heard of G&L in may because while on my honeymoon in may to california i tried to get a sting ray over there for cheaper but to find it in the colours i wanted was a needle in a haystack and a guy in obispo mention g&l an told me about the history and have since bought the george fulerton book an being that ive got to fenders i thought g&l could only be on par if not better than fenders

[quote name='steve-soar' post='934124' date='Aug 23 2010, 08:16 PM']Hi ya mate, welcome to Basschat. That's a nice looking bass. Offer him £550.[/quote] haha I'd feel well cheeky doing that it was on a buy it now on ebay for £799 with a make a offer option but ive been watching it for 3 months since I ordered the stingray an it hasnt gone yet so i talked him into taking it off ebay untill friday untill ive been and had a look thought id done well to get £150 off the asking price. tbh i have no idea how much these go for 2nd hand but in my local guitar shop they have a usa ASAT at £1700 which made me think the 650 was a bit of a no brainer and should snap his hand off. Would you guys say its good value. I mean in my local guitar shop ive played the tribute L200 an did think it was nice but i guess it comes down to personal taste but i just dont wanna get ripped off buying a guitar through ebay because £650 is the dearest thing i will of bought on ebay. thanks for the reply seems like a good forum site glad i came across it

[quote name='Machines' post='934098' date='Aug 23 2010, 07:52 PM']Did they do any Tribute 1500s ? I thought it was the twin pickup versions only. EDIT: See here for model list - [url="http://www.glguitars.com/Tribute/instruments/index.asp"]http://www.glguitars.com/Tribute/instruments/index.asp[/url]. That tells me a L1500 has to be a USA version. It will say Tribute on the headstock if it is one by the way [/quote] Thanks yeah must be a usa then here a few pics its got a head stock pic in there to hope am not disapointed on thursday. all though the wife will be overjoyed if i come home without it
