Wal GAS has hit again It could get costly.

I've never tried the Warwick strings, so it's difficult to know what to recommend but the D'addario NYXL nickels are a fine string. I've had a set on my main gigging bass for a couple of months now, so they've done a few gigs and rehearsals and are still very much alive and well. I do always clean them down post gig.

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1467385279' post='3083335'] this is my (for the time being) LB100. I have it up for sale, as I'm just not connecting with it... but the longer it stays in the FS ads, the more likely I'll end up keeping it! [/quote] That is such a looker, I keep on visiting your ad for a look. Just not actually looking at buying another G&L at the moment. If I was looking for a P bass to gig, even though I love Fender P's, I would more than likely go for one of these.

Exciting

I still regularly listen to the Yes Album and Fragile. Today my lovely wife treated me to a CD of The Ladder Never heard it before, only played it through once so far but I think it's going to be another fave. Certainly some cracking bass work on there.

Hello and welcome Steve. We turned on to the same sort of bands at about the same time I spotted the little ref to the Heep, down in your sig. Hope you enjoy the forum.

Sad news.

I've parked myself in the naughty corner.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1467278972' post='3082425'] No doubt a great piece of history but I think it's one of the fugliest basses I've ever seen! [/quote] I would ban you, if you weren't the boss.

[quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1467217562' post='3082037'] My latest, a Japanese 57RI [url="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/Tim_73/media/IMG_4651_zpsqjk2cbs6.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] That's a cool looking P

Enjoyed that WOT, sounds good through my hi-fi system. Looking forward to next weekend, when I'll be gigging the 400 again, this time in a club setting.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1467065398' post='3081004'] Can I go next please? [/quote] Mr discreet, pass it this way when you're done, thanks.

Lovely and I bet it looks even lovelier in the flesh, that's not the easy colour/finish to photograph.

I suffered the opposite to you last night. FOH sound through the P.A. was truly excellent but my rig sounded very thin and weedy from where I was standing. As soon as I saw the venue, I knew it would be a challenge. It was a huge glorified cow shed, concrete floor, walls of concrete blocks and corrugated steel sheeting and then a pitched roof of corrugated sheeting. Higher than your average house and about 50 foot wide x 150 foot or so in length.

That will be one very impressive set up Lozz. I'd love to frighten the landlord over at the White Hart with that rig.

They sound pretty lacklustre to me Feel for him though if it is health/injury. Glad I'm languishing on the sofa watching, rather than wading around in the mud

Lovely grain on the front, looks great

The timbers used and the workmanship look spectacular.

[quote name='Barking Spiders' timestamp='1466676348' post='3077766'] Hi there Gary Mac. Stuart Morrow was the original bassist for New Model Army and Leigh Gorman was in Bow Wow Wow check out SM on this [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lptWINyPBlk"]https://www.youtube....h?v=lptWINyPBlk[/url] and LG on this [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzHyOctD72k"]https://www.youtube....h?v=lzHyOctD72k[/url] [/quote] Thanks Barking, I have the playing of both over the years, just didn't recognise the names

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1466676499' post='3077773'] Looks awesome Gary, glad to see you've decided to keep it for a bit! I actually didn't play this on purpose at the herts bash, not only would my '71 get jealous, but I was worried I'd be thinking about trying to buy it if I liked it haha. Out of interest, what colour/finish would you go for if/when you 'restore' it? I've seen some excellent work from Joseph Kaye in London, he refinished my friends '57 Strat, period correct paint and nitro (shipped by boat from america), and the relic job is top top draw.

The usual high standard of reviewing, great work.
