    Hi all, I've left my tribute band now, so time is right to sell this amazing bass and case. It's a G&L tribute LB100mn in natural. It's a swamp ash body, beautifully finished. It's in immaculate condition. When I bought it I also put shielding tape on the rear of the scratchplate, which eliminates any potential hum. It comes with a real quality hard case - specifically made by the leading custom bass company. The case is professionally cut specifically for this bass and keeps everything in place. It also has a few custom made areas in the case. One is designed for a helix stomp, one for a quilter bass block and one (I've slightly changed) to fit a line 6 g75 wireless unit. However all these can be used for whatever you like. I got the case reduced as I gave the company the bass specs in order for a reduction - but it still cost a lot as you can imagine. I have to point out for some reason they didnt centre the handle for some reason, so they case does have neck dive. Selling both together delivered for £395. Will add photos soon.

    Well, in a twist, I'm going to sell mine. I've left the tribute band I used this in, and have other basses, so it's simply surplus to my needs, as much as I'd like to keep it. I'd also had a special hard case specifically made for it. I'll post the ad in the for sale section.

    SB2s are great value too.

    The lb100 tributes are quite solid, thick basses. But in a quality way. They also look a lot better in the flesh than in their photos. The natural is stunning. I believe (but I may be wrong) it's all the usa hardware, but it's just assembled overseas.

    They are so well put together and high quality. Really solid basses. I've found mine records better than any bass or bass and pedal I've had.

    Hi all, Great deals on at Andertons for the G&L LB100 tributes. £399. I got mine for around £550 and it was an absolute steal at that price. Best built and put together bass i own. Great finish. Great sound. It comes with the US parts. Also the best balanced bass i have. It literally just sits in position perfectly. https://www.andertons.co.uk/g-l-tribute-lb-100-bass-in-natural-gloss-3-ply-black-pickguard-clear-gloss-neck-with-maple-fingerboard-ti-lb1-121r40m21?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI94CfvN-y6AIViLPtCh2GnACfEAQYASABEgI5rPD_BwE I think theyve even got the jazzes at £299 too.

    Hi, can you send me a PM please. Thanks.

    Hi all, This was my backup amp, and I never had to use it. It's been used once for a gig and was spot on. It has a built in tuner and all kinds of eq options, mid punch and bass boosts and mock valve drive, which are all good. It's only a few months old. The only think I did when I first got ot was to try and take the big bright yellow sticker off the top. It didnt comes off smoothly and left the residue on, so I just stuck the enclosed peavey sticker over the top. Comes with peavey case/bag. Only selling as I've now left my band and dont need to carry a spare amp head with me. Official spec here: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Peavey-MiniMax-Bass-Amplifier-Head/XIZ?origin=product-ads&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5vKOwcKu6AIVCbrtCh1IOwshEAQYASABEgJhWfD_BwE £150 collection leyland, lancashire, or could post for about £15.

    Thanks for your help all. It's looking like I'll eventually go for a sub if I can find one at the right price. I had considered the cheap hatley Benton as well, but with thomann being abroad and this current situation I decided against it. However, I'm very impulsive..... I did see this. I've always wanted a Sire v7, but being in a tribute act i had to play what my counterpart did, but now i can play whatever i want. When i saw this, i simply had to get it. It will give me more tonal range than the standard p basses I've been using, and looks amazing (to me anyway!). Matching headstock. Active and passive switch. 3 band eq. Tone and mixable pick up control. And it's the modified version 2 v7. Hopefully (couriers aside) it should arrive tomorrow.

    Some people arent great at using online services and couriers etc. Some people dont want to post due to a number of things - mainly damage, and more so the completely scandal that is courier insurance. So, you've added on the couriers own insurance, you've stated clearly what is being posted, you've paid the extra cost, so are you definitely insured? ......Nope! Youd be amazed at the small print. Even if you cover say a £500 amp for £500, the small print may say you're only covered upto £100 if at all. It's a huge con. Therefore if buyers really really want something posted, a lot of sellers nowadays want nothing to do with it, and will only allow postage if the buyer takes all responsibility to make sure they are fully insured and take responsibility for any damage etc. Having had an expensive cab damaged (even though it was in a case) I can understand this. I nearly lost a lot of money.

    Hi all, A new change of direction and band and I find my self in a dance / disco set up where I'm kind of at the front (rest of band is keys/technical and drums - so I'm the only one stood up!). So, on one hand I want a stingray for that tight funky groove, and I want it to be outrageous and eye catching. But, eye catching apart - the virus situation has hit my finances extremely hard. So I'm wondering what my options are for a good stingray ish bass at a budget price. If it's a crazy colour or style even better! I've also never played a stingray, and struggled with pick up placement on jazzes and a g&l m2000 (....actually as I wrote that, it just dawned on me a g&l with the stingray pickguard may be a good option!!) so I'm thinking low budget in case I simply cant play it! I'm open to straight buys, or budget then upgrades - any ideas really. Any help appreciated.

    Another £1k of cancellations today too.

    Heres a response from the insurance company (I believe Aviva but dont quote me) showing just how they weasel out of paying even if you have taken out cover.... "The Business Interruption cover is based on a specified list of diseases and has been since the SARS outbreak in 2003. These policies exclude business interruption due to new and emerging diseases, like COVID-19. Our policy wording clearly identifies the diseases we offer cover for and, in addition, highlights that new and emerging diseases like COVID-19 are not covered."

    I run an events business. Today alone, I've had £4k of business cancel. Our business is slow until April every year then improves for the rest of the year. Weve got through to April fine, but if all our bookings for the foreseeable future cancel - through sheer media fear - I really dont know what will happen. As above, insurance wont pay. Some have even quoted it being an act of god. It's not just the venues and their staff that things like this affect, it's also the external suppliers. Also, people who have Weddings booked etc will lose all their money if the venue wont reschedule, and they havent taken out specialist insurance.

    My snark sometimes briefly doesnt pick up the E or sometimes gives it briefly as a different note before showing an E. I'm sure you already have but put the volume on the bass on full and tone wide open (clanky). You can also try 12th fret as well as open strings if you have no luck.

    Yeh, the curves are a bit more complex than just curve presets. They work with each other to get you where you want to be. Honestly, a quick turn to the right, quick adjustment to the left and you're done. It's very clever stuff.
  21. la bam
    ..... that's all part of the act! No, luckily I'm strictly a one preset setting change - all done by hand.

    No. The xlr socket on the back is for an 'IN' (for preamp etc). That's what makes it a bit daft to me. They could have made that space a xlr DI out and had a jack for pre amp in. At the moment the DI out is on the front in jack form.

    Not sure where to post this as it contains amp, fx, wireless and accessories. Finally finished a pedalboard. Fits snuggly on top of my cab with plenty of space round the edges so wont risk falling off. Contains - amp (quilter bb800), wireless (line6 g75), line 6 stomp, 4 way. The idea is so I can just take out of case place on cab, plug one socket in, attach Speakon into cab and I'm good to go. Easy, easy one hand lift. Set up should take 5 minutes max, instead of pfaffing around plugging 3 or 4 different thing in, making sure stuff doesnt fall off etc. Hopefully itll stay in one piece after first gig this weekend.

    Yeh, that's my favourite option. It's only ever a tweak of vocal or guitar I need.

    I think eventually I'm gonna have to go a decent 12 pa cab (qsc k12 etc) and hopefully tablet controlled levels. Our band has loud drums, x2 guitars (at times), piano (sometimes synth) effects, bass, lead vocal and 3 backing vocals. To top it off every song is different in style and just what is going on. It's not a set your sound and you're good to go type of band. I've recently switched to a cheap (and I admit it) second hand alto ts110a, which is ok and has 2 channels, so I take a feed from the desk for my monitor mix and have the second channel as a direct feed from the guitar box in case i need to boost that. The set up works ok. Not great by any means but ok. However, the fact it has the gains for the channels on the back so it makes it hard to adjust on the fly.
