    I've just picked up a USA G&L L2500. Hands down best sounding bass I have ever played in my life. The G&L MFD pick-ups are great! I guess they don't really make huge numbers of instruments (compared to other big name manufacturers anyway) and they're not promoted all that well - website is a bit outdated for one. Great stuff though. The Comanche guitar they do is ace too.

    Brilliant delay - very versatile with that pristine TC sound. In very good condition - has been used/stepped on over the years so there are of course the usual few little marks etc. Comes with box and manual etc. Cheers!

    I got a TC Electronic RH450 soft-case for my Ampeg PF-500 - sounds a bit illogical but it fits perfectly! Visual Sound One-Spot power supply for all three of me pedals (9v at 1700mA!) Some nice Elacin ear plugs for general use An Ultimate guitar/bass/instrument stand Hurrah for big families Oh and tomorrow I'm picking up a G&L L2500 in a Basschat trade! Merry merry Christmas

    I started off playing piano for about eight years before anything else, and whilst I really enjoyed playing it solo, just because it sounds pretty, I never really got it in a band context. I always found the rhythm/bass side more interesting, love a good groove me, so bass is just naturally where I feel I 'fit in' as a musician. I still play piano and there are MANY guitars around the house so I can do a bit of that too. Also handy on synths/producing etc. But bass is just where I feel at home and where I feel I can contribute best to music.

    I've never played a bad Yamaha, and the RBX170 is a great example of a starter bass - my friend's had one for a while - nice and simple but well put together. I'd go for it

    Cheers guys! Love Basschat! I think on that note I'll bite the bullet and see how it works out - I loved the sound and feel of them on my friend's Precision bass, so I imagine they'll sound pretty ace on a $$ Corvette!

    Evening Bit of a random one. I've got a 5-string Warwick with the two-piece bridge and the common problem with B-strings not fitting! Had to switch from D'Addario Pro Steels to Warwick Black Label when I got the bass - luckily I really like the Warwick strings so it was never that big a deal... BUT I really want to give these D'Addario Chromes a go. Unlike the Pro Steels the Chromes have silk either end so I'm hoping they might fit... just wondering if anyone with a 5-string Warwick has any experience of such strings etc before I spend £45? Cheers! Ben

    I'm sure it's a great P bass though. Like all the other ones.

    [quote name='ped' timestamp='1350943966' post='1845530'] I had one of these. Really cool piece of kit. I'd have one on my current bass but there's no room! I bought mine directly from their site and even though it's a bit expensive and a piece of foam works pretty much just as well, it's much quicker and a nicely engineered solution [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/Vigiers%20and%20Bacchus/P7010684p.jpg[/IMG] They get my thumbs up! [/quote] Cool, thanks loads! I'll drop them an enquiry through that site then Whatever made you get rid of that Jazz, by the way!?

    [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1350937886' post='1845404'] I wish Fender still did their's on jazzes ala Jaco etc [/quote] Yep, I don't get why they stopped making those?

    I've seen a couple of people have these things installed and they look great! I was just wondering where you can get them from? These things 'ere! I know I've taken this photo from supposedly the website of the guys who make them [url="http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_mainframe.html"](here) [/url]but it looks very out-dated and I can't find a way of purchasing them (without sending my home address etc for just an enquiry) Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers!

    Reluctantly up for sale is my Sue Ryder bass, in red/rosewood. If you haven't heard of Sue Ryder basses before then, well, where have you been!? Take a look on Basschat/Google them and you'll find plenty of praise for these amazing instruments. This is the keep-at-home bass which I use for practise/writing when my Warwick's out and about, it's my back-up bass for when my Warwick's not out and about and it's... well... just... I love it and typing this hurts. However, GAS has taken over and I find myself in need of some new bass gear to compliment my 'proper gigging' rig (my Warwick never has any issues so the only thing Sue gets to do at gigs is sit in her case). Anyway onto Sue, in more specific Basschat details, it's in pretty mint condition - a couple of tiny marks - more little finish blemishes - just being honest. But no dings (whatever that term really means) or any such thing. I replaced the standard pick-up/electronics with a second-hand Seymour Duncan SP-2 and a Precision wiring 'upgrade kit' from AxesRUs which consists of CTS pots and such. With a solid alder body and a pretty high-mass string-through bridge it sounds pretty darn sweet. On the SD tonechart the pick-up has the following reponse: Bass: 5 Mid: 6 Treble: 5 Punchy. (But I have the original stuff in-case you want to change it back for some reason) Oh, and the tuners are great too. Haven't tuned in a couple of weeks of daily playing and she's still there. For all of this I'm looking for a mere £100ono + postage - looking for money really, but always open to trades, they never hurt anyone. Apologies for the phone pictures, I don't have a camera to hand at the moment, but if requested I could get hold of one Cheers for looking, Ben

    I've got one of those cheap blue plastic ones. Really not that hard to use - I just keep it in the garden and my nephews/nieces love it. Not sure how you'd use it with a guitar though. Although I don't really know much about guitar to be fair
