I'm probably going to live to regret this, but up for sale is my G&L Tribute L2500. This is a 2003 model with swamp ash body in Cherryburst, rosewood fingerboard and satin finish maple neck. It's in excellent condition with no photographable marks. The odd-looking marks in the top horn in the second photograph are reflections. The Tribute series has the same electronics as the US versions, two humbucking pickups and passive/active/active + treble boost electronics provide a huge range of tones including passable Jazz and P-Bass and an excellent Stingray impression. Action is set comfortably low with a CrazyKiwi-standard £1 coin gap between the 'B' and the 12th fret. Strings are 40-124 DR Sunbeams with plenty life left. String spacing is 17mm and the nut width is narrow. Price is £350. I'd much rather this were collected from Ipswich (I can deliver to Ipswich , central London and all points inbetween), but I'll ship if necessary.

My Line 6 Variax 300 is for sale. I've owned this from new. It's in very good condition, with only one or two pick swirls on the scratchplate and a tiny ding on the front of the headstock. The action was set up not long ago and is low and very playable. Included in the sale is a brand-new Ritter junior gig bag and a copy of Variax Workbench, including the USB adaptor, all cables and software. £250 plus shipping - I still have all the original shipping boxes so posting it is not a problem. Alternatively I can deliver it to Ipswich, central London or places inbetween.

Little Black Box Shop Double Loop Bypass with LEDs for sale. This is a true-bypass double-loop pedal complete with the brightest blue LEDs I've ever seen. Full technical specification is here: [url="http://www.little-black-box.co.uk/Double-Loop-With-Bypass/Double-Loop-With-Bypass-LEDs/prod_8.html"]http://www.little-black-box.co.uk/Double-L...EDs/prod_8.html[/url] This has velcro on the bottom rather than the rubber feet, and for some strange reason the send/return labels have been stuck on the wrong way round. Other than that it's in excellent condition and works perfectly. £40 quid plus shipping, or I can deliver to Ipswich, central London or reasonable distance of main line stations inbetween.

Korg G5 Toneworks Synth Bass Processor for sale. Excellent condition in full working order. Includes a Korg KVP-002 2-channel volume pedal, very useful for real-time frequency control, and the original 9V Korg PSU . The whole lot is stored in a Maplins protective case and the original manual is included. Apologies for my complete lack of photography skills! More pictures on request. This is an excellent synth bass unit which tracks really well and has a lot of classic tones. Reason for sale is that I've gone over to using a V-Bass, otherwise I'd be hanging on to it for sure. SOLD. If you prefer I can deliver to Ipswich, central London or a reasonable distance from main line stations in-between.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='825043' date='May 1 2010, 06:46 PM']Absolutely. Now pay attention Bond. [/quote] Oops, not sure what came over me. Precision, Jazz, they're all the same thing really! Point still stands that this is a decent looking bass, if it goes for the current bid. -

[quote name='Delberthot' post='824743' date='May 1 2010, 12:29 PM']parcelmonkey rocks -cheap as you like and so easy to use[/quote] Parcelmonkey sucks watermelons through elephants. The worst company it's ever been my pleasure to deal with on the internet. I'll never use them again. If you don't beleive me, just ask Gazgoldstar about the tribulations we had with a certain V-Bass unit. -

And away from most of that really noisy crash/ride tinplate !

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='821471' date='Apr 28 2010, 08:06 AM']Pete, I think you're missing the point of the thread. This is how Wikipedia describes genius:[/quote] Don't patronise me. I understand perfectly well the definition of 'genius', and if I didn't I'm quite capable of looking it up for myself. There is no point to this thread - it's entirely subjective and serves no purpose.

G&L Tribute L2500 has a narrow nut width and string spacing is 17mm. I've got one of these for sale, due to appear in the for sale forums as soon as I can get my act together!

The fount of all knowledge about Bass Collection basses on the Internet is this thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=697&hl=Backwaters"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=Backwaters[/url] Despite my repeated pleas to the Mods to have it re-stickied, I have been ignored. But I'm not bitter. Anyway, in this thread you'll find pictures of my SB 465 which is nearly identical, apart from the 5th string. The top is almost certainly Walnut, the fingerboard is gorgeous ebony, the rest of the body and the neck are maple. Mine is the nicest most playable bass I've ever owned, and I'm sure this one will be just as good. Hopefully someone with a clue will realise what a bargain this is and snap it up. Have a free bump on me.

This would have been about 1971 - 1964 Hofner Senator, through a red and white Watkins Westminster combo (with real tremelo!) that my old man bought for his electric mandolin. Just like this one: [url="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/britamps/watkins/westminster/west2.html"]http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/britamps/wa...ster/west2.html[/url].

+1 for the Roland V-Bass. Consolation prize, try and find something with a Piezo bridge. I have a Dean B2 with one of these, and while it doesn't sound like an upright bass, it does make a nice woody quasi-acoustic noise.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='806697' date='Apr 14 2010, 11:21 PM']2 minutes in and I realise this is not jazz covers of Sex pistols songs.[/quote] Marvellous bit of bass playing - the section in the middle where he's playing bass AND rhythm guitar at the same time ... Gotta love that V-Bass. I was hoping for punk rock versions of jazz standards! Like this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb7qqGLGPZM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb7qqGLGPZM[/url]

[quote name='dood' post='808913' date='Apr 16 2010, 09:18 PM']You can add a second 8Ohm cabinet to that channel at a later date.[/quote] You could, but you'd be better off to add another cabinet (8 ohm or 4 ohm, it won't matter much) to the second channel - that'll give you more bang per buck. LG1000s aren't bridgeable, they are two separate 500 W into 4 Ohms units.

Does anyone have tab or a transcription for the bassline to I'm Outta Love, by Anastacia? I think it's a synth bass line.

Courier points system and courier issues
pete.young replied to paul, the's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I think based on recent experience it's safe to say that no one should ever use ParcelMonkey for anything, ever. Especially not for anything valuable. This has to have been the worst experience I've ever had, not only of courier services, but of EVERY service I've ever used on the Internet since 1987. -
What are you listening to right now?
pete.young replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
A load of Pogues stuff. I've just joined a Pogues tribute band. Teeth are on order from [url="http://www.billybobteeth-direct.co.uk/"]http://www.billybobteeth-direct.co.uk/[/url] And, and, The Chieftains featuring Ry Cooder, San Patrizio. Extraordinary. -
[quote name='harmonicfish' post='797773' date='Apr 6 2010, 05:06 PM']In a strange turnaround, I now find that I am the designated/only driver in my band. Getting all of the equipment and people for a rock/metal five piece into my car (bar the drums for rehearsals thank goodness) is pushing things![/quote] Buying and insuring a transit van, split between 5 people, is going to be a lot more reasonable than buying a bunch of expensive lightweight bass gear, split between one person!
