Hi, sorry for the delay, there'll be a pm on it's way to you as soon as i can get on a computer that will let me send one - i hate technology, alternatively try sending me one as that might work better on my phone, cheers graham

If I can raise another £150.00 the Duck Dunn wil be mine and John can buy this, lets hope a couple of weddings come my way soon

In that price bracket I'd be looking at a Wal, don't know if that's your bag though.

Amp wise, I struggle to fault my EBS so maybe one of the mk 2 Fafners?

Once upon a time this would've been my dream bass and whilst i'm more after something like a fender p i'd still love to own it so have a bump on me

I can't afford your svt-vr (as much as i'd love to) and listening to your band it might or might not be of interest but as you're from leeds anyway i thought i'd whore this:

Damnation festival 2011
Leeds uni 05/11/11
Devin Townsend Project, Godflesh, Ulver, God Is An Astronaught, Grand Magus, Amplifier, Decapitated, Evile, Turisas, Astrohenge and more for less than 30 quid

I used to have 2 of these, a lot of bass for £300.00, good luck with the sale

I'm not 100% on this, but i think i remember a review from when the VR came out saying that the power amp on the CL had been updated while the VR was a pretty faithful replication of a 1970 SVT.

I've never played through either but funilly enough, when watching bands, I've never heard a VR i've not liked whereas it's quite rare that i find a CL I like

The tone of Caleb Scofield's (Cave In) Ripper was one of things that pointed me towards G&L, I think you'd be pretty happy with a L2000

Wow, love the Bob Glaub, unfortunately never sold my Mayones though so can't afford it, i'm sure you'll find a very happy buyer

Dont worry, you are not the only one ! I was in the same boat a few years ago, and was lucky enough to come across a Trib. l2000. I have never looked back. I have since bought a USA SB2, which hands down, beats the pants off [b]any [/b]Fender precision I have tried. There is also the JB2 which completes the main array (there are other G&L basses) of the G&L tone. With the L2000, you almost have all these tones in one bass. I dont know why G&L's are generally over looked. They could be partly to blame themselves, as they dont market themselves well.

That's a lovely bass you have there. Enjoy ! [/quote]
I'm seriously thinking about trading my jazz bass in for a sb2, how would you describe the neck and the tone?

That's exactly what i've got (though mine's tuned B-E-A-D) and it's the only bass i wouldn't part with

Is there any tonal benefit to the covers? I've never played a bass with them on and can't imagine it makes them more comfortable but with likes of jamerson and miller using them i can't help but think there's got to be some benefit beyond the aesthetic?

Love it, though sadly even if i do find a buyer for my Mayones it'd still be beyond my means, good luck with the sale someone's going to be very happy

Can't get it up to the shop this weekend, so one more week before it goes - last chance!

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='1372569' date='Sep 13 2011, 09:36 PM']Tim Commerford of Rage against the machine has at least 1 Jazz with a lefty neck. Don't know about tunings - At least drop "D" judging by "Evil Empire"
He cites string tension as the reason. Apparently he (over)winds his own pick-ups, too.[/quote]
In Audioslave he played B-E-A-D, might be why

Are you just after a sale, or would you be interested in a trade?

Lower price bump

Ebay ended up pulling the add becasue I'd used Warwick and Spector's brand names in the title - didn't know you can't do that

If you want to hear it, I recorded all the songs on the below Myspace link using it

Cheers,

Graham

That's amazing; i'd never choose it myself, but i'm very glad it exists

Another bump before it goes on ebay at the lower price

Had a go on one of these (or maybe a slightly cheaper model) last night at the local jam night - cracking sound - really big and quite simple to get to grips with, feels odd to start with but you get used to it quickly

Back home from work bump

Bump for the price drop

Bump

I am open to offers if anyone's interested :-)
