    Thanks. It's only for my wrist that it is being put up for sale. If it doesn't go I won't be gutted, I play it at home all the time. Will trade for a P with a slimmer nut, of a Jazz, or a short scale something maybe. Or cash.

    To t'top

    Yes, it's too weedy into 8 ohm, but a different story entirely into 4

    I've used mine with a few cabs and it is good with all. Vanderkley, mark bass, etc. it was nice with and EBS neo 115. All these might be out of your price range, but I reckon any half decent 4 ohm cab will do it nicely.

    Nice set up Billy Here is my latest and greatest rig. GBE750 into Genz neox212. Also the yellow thing on top is a Rothwell Love Squeeze comp pedal.

    I'd love one and would be having a Big Baby 2, but I couldn't wait due to a big gigging schedule and no other cab.

    I'm selling my classic 50s P. If it goes, I'll be all over this.

    Right, this is not going anywhere, I used it last night, and it is excellent. Lovely to play. I have done another quick set up and it is a dream. And sounds superb. Withdrawn.

    I was glad to learn how to do this sort of thing myself. I have found it really quite easy, and enjoyable. I bought a set of Cruz Tools, including feeler gauges, millions of Allen keys, ruler, etc etc. about £40, with a little guide on how to do it all. Not cheap, but quality tools, and actually about 70% of what my excellent local luthier charges for a basic set up. I am confident in simple truss, action and intonation work now on all my guitars and basses. I would still get a pro to do things like cutting nuts sand bridge slots and anything fancier, but for keeping things playing well and adjusting for string changes, down tuning etc, I have already saved myself a load of cash. It's really not hard. Well, I am as happy with my results as I have been when paying someone else to do it

    Lol thanks Andy. Don't be sad, I'm cool with it.

    I love the bass. However, I'm not really using it live as in spite of trying, the neck dimensions are not totally compatible with my tendinitis. It is a lovely bass to play, has Labella flats on it, really well set up, great tone. I've played a fair few P basses incl US ones, and this one is better than most. So, I will be looking to either reluctantly sell it, or trade for a P bass with a narrower nut width. Don't get me wrong, it's not too wide, just too wide for me and my tendinitis to get along for a whole gig. Also interested in Yamaha BB, or short scale ie Mustang. Oh, it's Fiesta Red, and comes with original gig bag, schallers, etc etc. I'll try and do some pics in a bit, but it is truly almost as new. I'm disappointed, but my wrist just come first.

    Which G3 cab is that on the right?
  15. nottswarwick
    Take it back.

    If you have a set of feeler gauges you will at least some idea what relief to dial in as a starting point, I capo at the first fret, and the depress string at the last fret. Then measure the distance between the string and the 8th fret. I tend to use the 0.015" feeler gauge, which seems to get it about right. Then adjust the action at the bridge after this. Others might do it differently I guess.

    Excellent. I have never played a double bass, and am thinking about having a crack. I have a stupid question, if I may? I hear of full and three quarter size basses. Which do folk use?
  19. nottswarwick
    What?
  20. nottswarwick
    Take or send it back. Sounds like it doesn't work
