A thought, Its in Italy and as this is a uk based forum it may put people off as shipping prices etc need to be explained, also, what px's would you consider...bump.

I use a 'Dean' 'bass in a box', about fag packet size with a belt clip and headphones mini socket, 3 vol position and 3 tone positions, its perfect.

Welcome, all of bass life is here for you to enjoy...

+1, thats pretty much on anyones upper limit and the sabre is a great bass, but only worth what someone will pay, they are the same in dollars across the pond and at 2 to the pound you could have a holiday too.

Bump, I gigged one to death in the 90's with the extension 1x10 + 1x15 cab, the best sound ever, front panel power amp and seperate pre amp, ev powered, if you put wheels on it, then most problems apart from picking it up are solved. buy, buy, buy.

+ 1.

I play this in a band and put my own pops and slap in the fill section, as long as it sounds right, not clumsy and its in the pocket then by and large a comfy approximation is fine, otherwise you would be a session player on high rollin gigs like the top geezers...

If its running passive then I guess it'll sound like a g&l 1K which despite the 'sweet spot' issue would still sound good.

Bump for a great baritone at a great price, if you can afford it get it, the extended range is real fun.

Here it is.It doesnt look as bad as it does in the close up shots but needs a clean up

Ive just taken one off my g&l, it was perfect, you tune the e string, drop the cam off, retune to d with a little nurled cam adjuster/stop screw, thats it, never gives any probs, I never used it really and saw 1 odd g&l machine head on e bay, so set the bass back to stock, If you may want to buy it or want some piccys then drop me a line.

After the hrt he turned into gail ann dorsey... the lovley GAD.

George Murray did low, then next was Carmine Rojas who now gigs with Joe Bonnamassa. Bowie and Visconti did bass bits from time to time in the studio as well.

But to be fair nik...Mike Garson cropped up thru the spiders sessions, before the spiders and all the way up to date in bowies career.

pm for the scratch plate.

I saw back door at the kursaal in the mid 70's, I think they were supporting vandergraaf generator or hawkwind.....I thought...bass, sax and drums, this'll be crap, then was blown away by a mad jazz prog fusion, oh happy daze...

I have a red one, these have a unique tone, as well as emulating a stingray no sweat, so bump from me too, in fact....I was working in a music man dealership in the mid 80's and the stingray was the killer bass that sold in spades, but the guitars never did big buisness either, weird old world. bump.

@Misspenguin, my reason for the last point was, im 49 and done teaching and have found the tab generation miss the subtle art of zoning in with their ears. When in the late 70s and 80s i used to learn a track by listening first, find the key, memorise bits, play along with the track and 'groove in' as I call it. Nowadays I can listen to a track and pretty much identify and play a part after a few listens, unless its 'donna lee' or 'yyz' ! but , that was my point, especially with 7th's, major to minor and that sorta stuff.

40-95 or 40-90 swing bass or ive just gone over to daddarios.

Hi Gonzo bass, what you doing here, a long way from home buddy.hope that your well, My take on scales is learn major and minor, 1octave scales in all positions on the bass, as its tuned in 4th, the positions remain the same where ever you are, there are 2 basic positions or ways of playing the major and minor scales scales and the fingering is the key, basic finger disciplin is really important, I learned classical guitar as a kid and piano, the fingering was the key, being able to count too, you can then find your intervals and key signatures, all rules will have exceptions, ie: melodic or harmonic minor, E and F, B and C having no sharp or flat beetween them, but dont worry about the harder stuff, the same with arpeggios, keep asking questions and someone on here will always answer, the rockschool bass tutor books are a good teaching aid and start at basic and keep going, enjoy, but dont let it get you down and my final thing , use those two things on the side of your head...ears ! they are worth a million tab hours. regards, nig.

Ohm's law states that in an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference (i.e. voltage drop or voltage) across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.

The mathematical equation that describes this relationship is: I = V/R


where I is the current in amperes, V is the potential difference between two points of interest in volts, and R is a circuit parameter, measured in ohms (which is equivalent to volts per ampere), and is called the resistance. The potential difference is also known as the voltage drop, and is sometimes denoted by U, E or emf (electromotive force) instead of V.[1]

FROM WIKIPEDIA.

I have played the railway before and can add some tales to add yours but wont add fuel to the fire, just concur with the way you found the gig treating you, but, theres always a band waiting to get a gig there, shoddy all the same.

I got a 78 stingray new back in the day, I twice had the frets dressed,as they were rutted out and I got alot of fret noise, in the end I had it refretted but the luthier changed them without the need to refinish the neck so its original appeal was kept in tact, the original mm frets were soft thin wire frets, the ones I had put in were the flat gibson style frets, obviously not standard but they have lasted the test of time.

If you dont buy it I will, a stunner.

Sweet basses, I like the slimmer headstocks, the SB-2 has the p bass killer pup too, more growl than the fender, the GAS has started I see...
