    [quote name='steve-norris' post='190924' date='May 2 2008, 10:54 PM']I stumbled upon it online while looking for light weight heads the clips and features have pretty much sold me on it, i have briefly used the MB LM2 and liked it a lot the GB just has a more organic sound from what i have heard and a bigger feature list.[/quote] I sold a shuttle 6 on here a few months back. Personally I'd take a Neopak over the shuttle. They do sound fairly close, but the Neopak driven at high volume seems to have the edge to my ears - it has a very nicely implemented compressor. The 2 ohm capability is also a big plus for me - it makes it easy to mix and match cabs. Incidentally GB buy in a commercial 75W class-D module to use in the shuttle 6, the preamp seems to be the same as the Neopak one.

    Cheapest I can see is $26.55 from imperialguitar, but I'll have to check that they can deliver USPS. Wish I could remember where I bought the last time (they marked as a gift and only charged $6 shipping). Anyone interested in a set or two if I place an order?

    Is there a cheap source of 760FL's in the UK (can source for $26 in the US)?

    [quote name='Beedster' post='185605' date='Apr 25 2008, 09:48 PM']I rest my case Ade, you said you wouldn't list it for £500, as if that would be too low. Why not, it's more than you paid after all....? This forum's too full of guys on the make now. The mods criticise/remove posts that point out the obvious (e.g. that a bass is overpriced or is being sold on at a profit), whilst not protecting the basis of the forum itself, i.e., a service for the BC community. Shame, used to be full of good guys who knew what it was about . Chris[/quote] Spot on.

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='168113' date='Apr 2 2008, 01:56 AM']Theoretically perfect intonation is impossible. Evidently. A perfect neck is set to intonate according to the natural harmonics, trouble is along came someone clever and chose equal temperment as the way ahead for Western music. So there will always be a slight difference that can't be adjusted out. Evidently [/quote] Just pull the frets out ...

    [quote name='tauzero' post='165010' date='Mar 28 2008, 02:43 AM']I intend to take my JD to the Bass Bash so if anyone starts showing signs of love for it, I'll point them at this thread. Bargain at 800, they were 950 twenty years ago.[/quote] An immaculate example (case etc.) went on ebay a few weeks ago for 900 euro - OP will be lucky to see £800 on ebay.

    [quote name='minty fresh death' post='158249' date='Mar 15 2008, 11:27 PM']I have a friend who is interested in buying one, but not at that price (I thought they were selling for more), but he would rather wait 4 weeks and get one for bass direct sorry.[/quote] I must admit Bass direct are offering a great deal on their initial shipment. Very interesting that your friend thinks £460 is too much for the head ...

    Relisted, I've decided to stick to my 2 ohm setup ...

    [quote name='spannung' post='144209' date='Feb 21 2008, 09:06 AM']Change to BB414?[/quote] So did you?

    [quote name='TheRinser' post='146858' date='Feb 25 2008, 07:44 PM']Not your cup of tea then? Would you mind explaining why? Cheers, Tom[/quote] On the contrary, it's one of the best small amps I've tried. In fact overall it probably is the best. My current set up is 2 4ohm cabs, which isn't ideal for this head, but I'm going to have a little think on the cab front.

    Only 1 week old (probably the first in the country) - looking for £460. There's a long waiting list for these - GB have received more orders in the first 6 weeks than they expected for the whole year. This one could be with you tomorrow. Check talkbass for the rave reviews.

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='144815' date='Feb 22 2008, 08:04 AM']If there's one speaker company I'd consider to not have the technical ability to design their own amp, this is the one. Whose power amp module does it Alex[/quote] Alex, You'd be surprised (or maybe not!) at how badly designed some of the 'big name' bass amplifiers are. In the case of Accugroove any technical information they provide is likely to be bullshit ...

    Depends on whether you want a Jazz or Precision type bass. The BB1500 has a much better build quality than the new BB series. Personally I wouldn't bother about any dings as long as the neck and frets are in good condition (the BB1500 has been out of production for several years so you're unlikely to find one without a ding or two). I wouldn't bother about the lack of the active electronics either - I have a BB1500A and run it passive. FYI the original Yamaha PUPs are humbucking - I have compared them to Fender noiseless PUPs and they are very similar.

    [quote name='funkysimon' post='142951' date='Feb 19 2008, 11:16 AM']Nope, there's nothing but air in there. I guess you could wedge a bit of foam in if you wanted?[/quote] If you're interested in selling the tort guard seperate from the bass let me know! In fact I'm close to buying the bass - why was the string tree moved - is there a dead spot problem?

    Shuttle 6.0 arrived today, I'll have a good play with it at the weekend (hopefully) and post some more details, but first impressions are: 1/ Can't tell the difference between the shuttle and the neopak using the DI (preamp and eq seems to be exactly the same) 2/ Build quality doesn't seen to be up to the same standard as the neopak or the GBE750 3/ Volume wise I can't tell the difference between the GBE750 and the shuttle (into the same cabs)

    Hello Henning, The Yamaha preamp has been removed, and the bass rewired for VVT. These are not the original PUPs. [quote name='spannung' post='142742' date='Feb 18 2008, 08:58 PM']PICTURES! Here are 2 pictures of the pickups and the wiring. Hope theyre helpful! The red and black wires coming from the battery compartment do not lead anywhere but to a white connectionsocket. The bass works without the battery. Kind regards Henning Trollhattan Sweden[/quote]
  21. BB2000
    Bargain. The custom pickguard alone probably cost £45.
  22. BB2000
    Bet it sounds nice but damn it's fugly.

    [quote name='dub_junkie' post='137527' date='Feb 10 2008, 11:49 AM']for anyone interested,the Japanese made tribute models are halfway down the page [url="http://www.kurosawagakki.com/gl/glbass.html"]http://www.kurosawagakki.com/gl/glbass.html[/url][/quote] I guess they're still making them, then. Quite a price premium over the other tributes - seem to be more than twice the cost.
  24. BB2000
    I've a shuttle 6.0 in transit - I'll do a comparison with the Genz GBE750 and Neopak amps when I've had a good play with it.
  25. BB2000
    Just spotted this thread. Nobody has mentioned the Japanese tributes - are these still in production? They were made without the tribute legend on the bridge (before this change was made to all the tributes) and were available with painted headstocks. They've never been mentioned on the G&L site and seem to be pretty rare outside Japan.
