  1. A stunning example of Leo Fender’s G&L P bass. It’s a proper U.S. model built in 2016 at the Fullerton, California plant. Hang tag, warranty card, certificate, spec sheet etc is included. Alder body. Finish is cherry burst. The three ply guard is more like the lovely old vintage looking tort. Saddle lock bridge. 9.5 radius dark Rosewood fret board. Bone nut. Width at the nut is 1.5/8th”. Frets are medium/jumbo and all seated and finished perfectly. G&L Alnico pick up G&L ultralite tuners. Weight is 9lb 12oz. Original hard-shell, black tolex case, which looks almost as new. This bass has not had a hard life, the first owner only used it at home, I’ve gigged it twice. Although I believe it left the factory, with round wound strings, the previous owner fitted a set of flats, so there is no fret wear. Condition is near perfect, with just a little swirling/signs of use to the pick guard. Lovely tight, neck pocket and with six securing screws, the neck/body joint is rock solid. I love this bass, it’s comfortable to play seated or standing, looks amazing and sounds great in a band setting. My reason for selling? Well a near miss last night, on a crowded stage, when our drummer knocked over a heavy cymbal stand, made me rethink gigging with a pristine instrument like this. I’m going to use my old G&L and a P bass that I built for myself, both of which sport war wounds and genuine road wear. Hopefully the photos will give a good indication of the condition. Anything that looks like a blemish or damage to the body finish, is purely down to my photography. Price is £950. I’m in Hoddesdon, Herts. Would really prefer collection but we can discuss shipping if necessary.
  2. Do what makes you happy mate
  3. Same as you, I came to the conclusion that I loved Mark Bass cabs but not with their amps. My GK Fusion 500 will be getting an outing tonight, love it
  4. It mostly works perfectly well as it is.
  5. I think one of the problems with these amps ( like with plenty of other equipment), is that they don't react well to electrical fluctuations/surges. I've now seen a couple that have failed when being used on stages, where the supply has been provided via a generator.
  6. I attempted to repair one of these for a customer but without success. I couldn't get parts or even a schematic. As @BassBunnysaid, Real Electronics are the only real viable option. I came to the same conclusion as you, in that, it's not worth it.
  7. Hi Alan and welcome. If you are planning on selling equipment here, then please use the relevant for sale section. Cheers.
  8. My prep for tonight's gig will mostly consist of being horizontal on the sofa for the afternoon, watching The Man in the High Castle.
  9. What a great job I miss my Dad, that is just the sort of thing he would have made for me.
  10. Club gig in Stevenage NYE and then a few weeks off.
  11. Our IT team are tracking them down at this very moment. The highly trained BC stealth commando unit, have had Christmas leave cancelled and are on standby.
  12. Goes with the territory with pub gigs Real bad case of it during the load out at a Buntingford, Herts pub gig last Friday night.
  13. Farm Factory in Welwyn has a good team and decent facilities for recording.
  14. Congrats Tim, hope you have many more enjoyable gigging years
  15. That is one lovely looking instrument.
  16. All the best to you mate and hope you get sorted next year
  17. Thanks for posting that Although I use use a multimeter at home, this piece of kit would be very useful on gigs.
  18. A pre Christmas price drop to £375. A lot of guitar for not much cash.
  19. That's a tight rhythm unit
  20. That's not good then. If you know what you're doing and can clamp the neck to get it straight, you might then have more of a chance at getting the truss rod nut loosened.
  21. If it definitely only twisted once the strings were removed, have you tried putting them back on?
  22. Have to agree, a very tasty bass line and it only works if the drummer can get the shuffle thing nailed.
  23. That's the one that I always suggest but it falls on deaf ears 🤔
