Guess I'm passing on this bass, if anyone wants to know where it's from PM me. It's a black-burst with a jazz neck (vintage tint maple). I'll delete my post if it's against the forum rules to mention this though. Thanks for the comments guys!

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1331574600' post='1575143'] A guy i know has a Les Paul that smells of piss and nothing he can do will make the smell go. He bought it off a guy whose wife found out that he had been unfaithfull. Instead of the normal cutting up ties and suits she opened up the case to his trusty Les Paul, dropped her knickers and let it all go. [/quote] I laughed when I read this, poor sod!

Some peoples sweat is enough to "wear" instruments, I'd hate to think what puke would do!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1331570584' post='1575033'] I can't see it that well but if its a noticable gap it would annoy me. Is the bass a USA version? If so, shop for another. [/quote] Yeah, its a USA l2000 with a jazz neck and custom finish. Im pretty ocd with basses and won't settle so I guess ill have to pass this one. Shame... You had a ray with the same problem if I remember correctly, right?

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1331567886' post='1574952'] That "gap" is perfectly within tolerances. Try getting a fag paper all the way in. QC at G&L is spot on... far better than say that of a leading manufacturer you may have heard of. [/quote] I know that, but is this example in particular worth going for based on this? If it's not then it's no problem I'll just find another one. I know G&L's are great, I just want to find one which is perfect . If people here have ones with necks with gaps in like this then I'll go for it.

[quote name='blackmn90' timestamp='1331563702' post='1574849'] theres a gap on the top right corner. If it sounds good it's not going to be an issue [/quote] Is that to be expected of your average good quality control G&L?

The corners have a noticable gap then theres a slightly smaller gap along the bottom, I've never seen a G&L in person so I really can't tell but aren't they supposed to be really tight (no gaps)? Thanks for the comments so far though!

Hey, About to buy a bass but there's one thing which I'm slightly concerned with. There's a gap on the neck pocket joint, I thought the necks were made to fit perfectly. Is it perhaps a temprature change based thing and simply needs the neck to be re-aligned? Anyway, here's a pic. There sides not in the picture are tight, it's just the bottom of the joint. Can anyone tell me (if you have ever owned one) if this is normal? Thanks.

Can you tell me if the first post is original and unmodded?

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1331546357' post='1574335'] I was thinking the same. Just a list of bad venues with links to relevant threads. Keep the detail out of the blacklist thread itself. [/quote] It's a nice idea but isn't it a little libellous? Anyway, see if you have a case in a small clams court... if not then go there, rack up a bill of the amount due and say it was awful service + food and refuse to pay .

You need to state a price.

I would have taken the table refusing to be moved as a warning and left there, however, I respect you for playing. The part which pisses me off which happens fairly often is when they refuse to pay you and yet don't tell you that until the gig is over. Arseholes.

Well I listen to and play a lot of punk... so yes. It also influenced a heck of a lot of music; which I'm sure many of you listen to and it also inspired people to play. Most music has a positive impact in one way or another, it creates thought. There's probably people picking up instruments every day because they believe they can "do better" then, for example music on the radio to generalise. Punk also created a scene for people which felt out of place. An attitude, music scene, fashion and friendships.
