    [quote name='machinehead' post='112663' date='Jan 2 2008, 11:29 PM']Cheers man. Didn't take offense but did think it strange that an expression of interest got no response. Mind you, I had a bit of that kind of thing on FF. I think people just forget they posted or something. In case you're interested, I bought a 1998 Fender American Deluxe 5 in 3TSB. Needing a bit of TLC but a gorgeous instrument. Bought it because I wanted a jazz 5 but with 5 in a line tuners. Again, very good luck with the sale of your G&L. Try this Fender site, it's a Fender by another name after all. [url="http://www.fenderforum.com/"]http://www.fenderforum.com/[/url] Frank[/quote] Thanks for the site mate. I shall go forth and check it out now! Cheers

    [quote name='loweringthetone' post='112854' date='Jan 3 2008, 01:10 PM']I strung a GL1500 (its four string brother) with pyramid flats the other day and WoW! all the richness, tone and depth you would want. These are fabulous basses, and I suspect, due to its more central positioning, the single pickup is not a drawback, but actually provides some tonal advantages over its 2 pickup brothers . Good luck with the sale ! PS Whats FF to the uninitiated ?? [/quote] FF means FastFude. It's a music forum here in Northern Ireland if you wanna check it out. www.fastfude.com And i totally agree with you about the pick-up positioning. I find it allows greater movement across the strings than having two big double humbuckers. Also the sound is a bit more refined and controllable.

    [quote name='machinehead' post='112246' date='Jan 2 2008, 12:59 PM']Excellent bass which I would have bought back in August when you advertised it locally on FF. My last post on FF told you I had PMed you. After a couple more PMs I gave up and I've since bought another 5 string to add to my other 2 - like I really needed another bass. This should sell easily on here so good luck with the sale. Just sorry I can't buy it. Frank[/quote] Thanks man. I actually remember posting it on FF. I watched the post for a while but then was in the states for three months and must have missed your PMs. I wasn't being rude just so you know. lol I would have loved to have sold it to you, cause then my overdraft wouldn't be as bad as it is now! lol Thanks for the support man. Take care.

    [quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='112087' date='Jan 2 2008, 01:28 AM']That must've been a real pain in a*se! Mine wasn't quite as bad as that. Auditioned, did well enough, but didn't get the job as I'd been honest enough to tell them I wasn't going to quit my day job, which they all wanted to do and go pro. Few weeks later, I get a call asking if I was fixed up, as the guy they hired just didn't fit in. I held no malice so I took the job. That was nearly two years ago, and everything's going fine. Needless to say, none of them have quit their day jobs either [/quote] Glad to hear it worked out for you. I also got a call back after their newly returned bassist decided to leave again, but decided not to take the job as I probably thought it would all happen again. Maybe I'm just too sinical.

    I am currently located ten miles from Belfast in Northern Ireland but I am more than happy to ship anywhere within the UK. Available to meet too, if you happen to live in N.I. too!

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='112062' date='Jan 2 2008, 12:12 AM']Hi, have you got any sound clips at all?[/quote] Hi there. Sadly I don't have any sound clips. I searched some sites for a sample and came up with nothing. You could here it recorded if you wanted to listen to my old bands material. Not sure how helpful this would be. www.myspace.com/exitonline Sorry for any hassle!

    Hi folks! Hope everyone has recovered after what was hopefully a messy bout of New Years celebrations! (my head still hurts!) Hapy New Year! I know I'm a newbie and maybe it is too soon to try and sell a bass but I've tried EBAY (twice), retailers have offered me ridiculously low amounts and I have wasted my time with several so-called "intersted buyers" through personal contacts. I am selling my G&L L-1505 5 String Bass. It has a black body, maple neck and all chrome hardware. It is truly a wonderful bass and I am only selling it due to re-location to the US and I don't wanna lug all my gear over with me. It plays brilliantly and has a lovely action. I'm looking £700 for it.

    [quote name='Jase' post='111951' date='Jan 1 2008, 08:06 PM']Used to be into Madness in my early teens, great players![/quote] This is my first time on this forum and this thread caught my eye. Sadly for bad reasons. I recently spent two weeks or so learning around forty or so Ska tunes (a lot of them were of course by Madness). I was supposed to be joining a well-known tribute act and actually rehersed with them twice after learning a mountain of material before they decided to tell me their old bass player had had a change of heart and re-joined the group! Still love Madness, however watching them last night on Jools Holland just reminded me of how annoyed I was during that whole fiasco! Sorry if my first post is too somber! lol
