  1. [S]For sale/trade is my USA made 1999 G&L L2500 5 string. It has cost option upgrades of maple cap and Cherryburst finish. The neck is a beautiful flamed maple and the frets are in great condition.

    Overall condition is superb, apart from one ding on the under side (see pic).

    It comes with the original case (used but perfectly serviceable), Certificate, control diagram and warranty card.

    approx 9.5lbs, a lovely low action and 34" scale

    It sounds superb; everything from a Stingray on steroids to dubby P Bass, don't really 'need' to sell it as it does exactly what I need it to...I just have a hankering for a 35" scale 5'er...you know how it is :gas:

    Bass is in Sheffield, I'm looking for £800 inc uk shipping, trades for 35" 5 strings (ACG, Lakland 55-02 why...)

    See now I had my pre at 1100 ish but the other day I dialled it to one and that was rather tasty in a grindy dirty way. Didn't loose definition but furred it up a bit (well probably a lot :D )

    Just wish the cab was slightly lighter and easier to get thorugh doorways

    So not only does it do the most glorious southern rock / country bass sounds but it grinds with the best of them too :D

    I'd be very interested to try it against a classic svt with both through their respective 8x10 for fairness ;)

    Oh lovely! How does it sound compared to a Bass Terror if you've ever tried one of those? Was wanting one of these at somepoint, but... The differences in wattage make my choice a bit tricky.

    I actually have a terror 500 as a backup head in case of disaster, they both share the same preamp so as far as front of house on larger shows goes the desk is getting near enough the same signal. The only difference is in the power section which is digital on the terror and while it does a grand job (especially for the minimal pennies you can get them s/h!), lacks the valve heft of the output stage but sounds pretty darn good all the same :D

    Seeing that made me have a slight loose bowel movement. Looks earthquakingly loud. How does the AD200B sound? Been wanting one of those for a while now.

    :crazy: she's glorious! You can't quite see from the pic of the front but both pre and master are set to about 10 o'clock...fills the room with lush bass and makes fixtures, fittings and fillings rattle :D

    The AD200b just makes my old p basses with flats and my old Guild B-302 sound perfect, rich, full and fruity sounding with plenty of depth but without being flappy. Those orange cabs are darn good for a 1x15 too!

  5. This is a really simple, I love the sound of my orange stack 'type post', it's freakin beautiful!

    Just look at that! :gas:

    I have also just received a pair of new speaker cables from OBBM which have the 'new' (not sure how recent a product this is) right angled speakon connectors!

    They're seriously good, means I can put my stack much closer to the back of whatever stage we're playing on, and I can do so without bending the cable like it used to with the old style speakon connectors! Winner :D

    Yes they do only point downwards which means a slightly longer cable is needed for the bottom cab but they're easier in use than the standard straight speakon connectors and a slightly longer cable is no real trouble. They hang so tidily!

    looks lovely mate :D

  7. holy smokes this is dirt dirt dirty cheap! I paid way more than that to have it built and shipped over from St Louis!

    David does only use really nice bits for his builds, a bit like Nash do...and it sounds frickin awesome! I was only thinking about this bass the other day and wondering where it'd got to...someone's gonna get a total steal of a stunning bass here!! really that cheap!!!!! that's less than a cr*ppy MIM fender!!!!!!!!

  8. Looks like a grand's worth when new and working?

    Nice find :D

    This bass used to be mine and I'd fully support that. Whilst maple-board fretless Precisions appear to be, for reasons I don't fully understand, quite an acquired taste, they are two things. Firstly outstanding instruments. Maple necks to my ear compensate for all of the limitations of rosewood and a single P-PUP, the player is far better able to tease nuances out of the bass in a manner more in keeping with an ebony board. Second, they are getting VERY rare in original configuration, and even rarer in this condition. In short, this is in investment condition (this is why I sold it, nothing remains in investment condition for very long in my house). I am very tempted to offer a trade with something that Andy might find more to his liking, but suspect that I would never want to gig it in case I dropped it etc, and the finish is so beautiful that would be a real shame. I also have about 4 more fretless basses than I need at present.

    But I do keep coming back to this page :rolleyes:
