only problem is that there aren't a huge amount of quality Les Paul / SG basses. See if he'll take some other shapes and then he's got a load of fantastic basses for that price range.

I'd recommend anything by Ashdown personally, their Electric blue combos are pretty decent for the money. Should be loads of stuff for under £200 in the amps for sale section of this site too

I think it might be the angle you're plucking with as mentioned above, you'll want to aim to play across the string instead of through it towards the body. If you pluck as you would normally but in slow motion you'll be able to see if you're dragging the string to the fretboard with your stroke, and if so you can compensate by hitting it more laterally. Also it might be that you've got your amp at the same volume as when you're playing with a pick- a pick is naturally louder than fingers in my experience so it might just be that you're having to play harder to get the same volume. It'll all come with practice though!

(From the questions bit at the bottom) "You should get 2 grand at least" Hmm. Not sure about that.... especially if the electronics are buggered (as the ad hints towards) Nice lookin bass though

[quote name='Bassassin' post='999884' date='Oct 25 2010, 12:04 PM']Noel's referring to the fingerboard/fretboard (being a committed member of the Junior Pedants League, I only use the term "fretboard" to refer specifically to a fretted instrument ), touchboard isn't a very commonly used term but is correct in this context. It's more commonly used in reference to instruments like the Chapman Stick or Warr, where it's descriptive of the intended playing techniques. Jon.[/quote] Aaah! I see now! Wasn't having a go Noel, I was just unaware of what you were refering to But yeah it looks a bit light to me, like it's been sanded down?

[quote name='noelk27' post='998466' date='Oct 23 2010, 09:02 PM']Er, what's he done to the touchboard?[/quote] The what, sorry? Also, bit on the pricey side isn't it? I'd have thought 2000€ tops?

Oh wow, hello tech21! Good to have another manufacturer on the forum To philipleonard I've only got experience with the BDDI but it's a really good pedal, you can get some fantastic tones out of it

recently gone off the "upmarket" basses but that's chuffing lovely!

I think it comes down to how much versatility you want. If you're willing to fiddle with the controls and you have no issue with the looks (I don't either btw ) then I'd say the bongo, if you just want a bass you set once and don't touch the controls again then I'd say the precision. Just my opinion of course

Just bought his Aguilar GS410, really easy to deal with and even dropped it off for me, what a legend!
