Think he's had this bass up before with photos iirc. Yup check topic history :-)

They're awesome basses, it sounded the business & blew me away, just seemed slightly out of place, but then I guess when Les Paul created the Les Paul he didn't invision Zakk Wylde playing it with EMG's through a Marshall wall of sound, so I shouldn't just limit the Fender Jazz, to Jazz & Funk, definitely looks classier than Dave Mustaine's Dean Flying V's.

Ooh Megadeth, saw them in Norwich a while back, James LoMenzo is a god, was playing a Marcus Miller, though he's usually a Warwick man..

Bought one from Coda in Stevenage last week, Swamp Ash 4 Strong Bolt On.. by far the nicest bass I've ever owned, hugely versatile with a great neck, nothing I don't like about it, definitely worth the extra money over the standard.

It can do, but It's capable of doing pretty much the opposite too, it can really thicken up a sound add depth & warm it up, the differences are really obvious if you wire it early in your pedal sequence & add additional effects after, I use it to get a really dirty funk sound with my Bass Balls/Bass Juice after it, I occasionally use it on its own if I don't think my bass is cutting through the rest of the band, it's generally quite a subtle box I don't bother with it when I'm playing through my 15 watt practice amp, just when I'm using the 4x10 big rig.

Lovely bass & very versatile too, I saw James LoMenzo wielding one a couple weeks ago at a Megadeth gig in Norwich, If I hadn't literally picked up my new Warwick Double Buck 2 days ago, I'd bite your arm off for this, aside from the limited edition Washburn Bootsy Space Bass & a Victor Wooten Fodera (like I'm ever gonna own either of these), I think this is the only signature I want..

Consider yourself bumped :-)

I've just seen in G+B mag that this bass is to be made on general release again.... ooooooh I've got GAS again....[/quote]

Yeah, Ampeg & Kent Armstrong had it at Namm 2008, think there is a bit of a waiting list on the USA preorders though, it's not my style but it's so damned pretty I kinda want one just to look at..

Cheers for the advice Jon, Lets just hope they're that stupid..

I think we should bring back the law where people lose a hand for theft..

Yeah, thats what I'm hoping, was stolen on a train between Ipswich & Cambridge, so I doubt it's likely those who took it know what they've got..

A friend of mine has had his Dan Armstrong resissue, stolen in the Bury St. Edmunds area of Suffolk, these aren't too common here, it was imported from the U.S, photos on the way, would appreciate a heads up if you guys see this anywhere, cheers.

Yeah, the L in G&L stands for Leo, as in Leo Fender, its the company he founded after leaving Musicman, and G&L make very nice alternatives to Fender Precisions', Jazzs' & Musicman Stingrays, the Tributes are the cheaper non US guitars, but they are a good alternative to the Mexican Fenders, or just Leo Fender fans looking for a G&L instrument that won't break the bank.

Bump, will take offers in the region of £500

Just fallen in love with a Tacoma 6 string guitar (and I can't bare to part with my Taylor) & needs must, just ordered a set of Rotosound phosphers for this, which will be included in any sale..

I'll leave it on here for a week or so, then I'll be chucking it on eBay

If you only have a few items that require PAT testing, every major plant hire shop (HSS Hire, Speedy Hire) carries a clare tester (hire items have to be PAT tested after every hire) and for a nominal fee will test items on site.. Usually if it's only one or 2 things they'll do it on good will & not charge (atleast I did when I used to work for one).

Willing to restring with a set of Phospher bronze strings if it'll help seal the deal (currently Steel strung & missing an A string).. & willing to trade up with cash for something special.. In Ipswich if anybody wants a look..

Hi all, new here (guitarist masquerading as a bass player). Looking to trade my Washburn AB45 (5 string variant of the AB40). I acquired this bass a while ago direct from Washburn for an acoustic project. It came from their “new old stock” and was one of their artist sample basses (marked with a star by the A tuning peg on the back of the headstock). These basses have never been imported to the UK, and are infinitely nicer in quality then the lower end AB10’s & AB20’s & sports a Venetian cutaway (the cheaper models have the pointed Florentine cutaway). It’s finished in Vintage Sunburst with quilted maple back and sides, both the top and the back are arched & the soundhole has been replaced by a series of angled slits (to reduce feedback when plugged in). Tuners are Gold Grovers & it is fitted with a Piezo pickup, the three gold nobs on the front are volume, treble & bass. Nut & Bridge are set to the Buzz Feiten Tuning system (as standard on all higher end Washburns). Comes with a Washburn hardshell case (perfect order & 2 keys for lock). Bass itself is unmarked in as new condition (aside from the small star on the headstock). This guitar carries an RRP of $1549 though usually retails at around the $1100 mark

I would be interested in trading this for a 4 string Lakland or Musicman, or perhaps the Fender JP90 or similar, though any offers would be considered, any interesting 6 string guitars (electric or acoustic) would be considered too.

Not really wanting to sell this, but I won’t ignore any sensible offers .

Cheers.
