Hard to describe using words but 'creamy' would probably be closest. I am actually at the point where I am pretty much there but its cost me a fortune to get there Jazz bass with played in rounds. Berg Rig with EBS or Summit Audio Pre BUT the biggest things I have done recently too improve my tone are a) raise the action and concentrate on better technique. Raising the action to about 3-4mm at the 12th fret seems to really let the full tone come through. I previously had the action at about 2mm and thought that I liked all that 'sizzle'. Thinking about how each note is fretted and using tips of fingers etc also seems to help me sound better. Steve

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='419676' date='Feb 25 2009, 10:18 PM']Gulp Chris - I'd love that [/quote] SOLD Seriously Al you could do a lot worse than flog everything and buy it! Steve -
[quote name='bass_ferret' post='419713' date='Feb 25 2009, 11:18 PM']you will just have to keep it [/quote] That wouldn't be the end of the world. Giving up my quest to rule the world with five strings at the moment and going back to four so it would be a shame for it not to get played as often as it should. If it sells I think there could be another GB in my future plans possibly. I thought you were on a mission to buy all of the GB's anyway :-) Steve -
[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='419636' date='Feb 25 2009, 09:27 PM']Now that is lovely!! Where'd you get it from Steve? [/quote] Thanks Chris, got it from the Gallery. I must sort out some better pics, Alex took that one. Steve

I haven't caught the Shuker bug myself and I normally don't like his non Jazz designs but that looks really classy and the photography is awesome, Congrats! Steve

Would be an interesting buy but I think its overpriced. Somewhere around £2000 may be more sensible given its owner and pedigree would be realistic I reckon. Steve

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='415884' date='Feb 20 2009, 11:39 PM']Are Fodera's really that good to sell such great basses to fund one. Flippyflop is selling a Wal and a Rumour to fund his![/quote] I think I have missed mine so will never know! Still nothing like a clear out now and again is there :-) There is a whole other thread dedicated to whether Foderas are worth the money in the Basses forum as well. Steve

[quote name='4 candles' post='415666' date='Feb 20 2009, 06:44 PM']Ive been round and tried all of these basses out, They are all stunning and I would buy them all If I had the funds. I can't beleive Steve is selling such a fantastic collection. What struck me most was the condition of these basses, they have been extremely well looked after. Steve is a top bloke, and you would strugggle to find anyone as honest about his basses. Best of luck with the sales!!(personally I think you are mad) Regards Mark[/quote] Thanks Mark, Was good to meet you today!! Hope to catch up with you around Sutton at some point. Steve

Blimey Rich, where you pulling all these amps from -
[quote name='molan' post='414834' date='Feb 19 2009, 10:42 PM']Pics of the GB don't seem to be displaying on the porn thread:[/quote] Hmmm.. Let me rectify this. [attachment=20605:IMG_0013.JPG] [attachment=20606:IMG_0015.JPG] [attachment=20607:IMG_0016.JPG] [attachment=20608:IMG_0017.JPG] Steve

The Metro is now sold pending the usual. Apologies to all who enquired and made offers. I processed everything in order and have accepted the first definate offer that matches the asking price which I think is the fairest way to do it. Steve

[quote name='Oversoul' post='414548' date='Feb 19 2009, 05:53 PM']I hear his preamps are mighty complex, what are the specs on them?[/quote] Found this here [url="http://www.smbe.co.uk/gb2008/electonics2.htm"]http://www.smbe.co.uk/gb2008/electonics2.htm[/url] Steve

[quote name='Oversoul' post='414535' date='Feb 19 2009, 05:37 PM']If you sell the Sad, will you withdraw the GB?[/quote] Not necessarily and at the moment its still for sale. I think the PUPs and Preamp are Bernie's standard from around 2004 which I believe are the same as now apart from it doesnt have some of the extras such as the tuning pitch and metronome. I will drag out some pics... Steve

[quote name='mr_russ' post='414518' date='Feb 19 2009, 05:10 PM']Where abouts are you based? The sadowsky is causing some major financial flatulence[/quote] Hi Russ, North Birmingham, Sadowsky may be sold, will know soon I think. Thanks Steve

[quote name='Oversoul' post='414516' date='Feb 19 2009, 05:09 PM']So no shipping outside UK? [/quote] Hi There, Sorry I missed your previous request in all the excitement as I have been getting lots and lots of PM's. I would possibly ship to Portugal yes but would prefer a more local deal and it looks as though the Sadowsky may be sold. I will update the thread as soon as I know more. Thanks and Apologies, Steve

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='414477' date='Feb 19 2009, 04:37 PM']Steve - you're slooooooooooowly killing me - I can't decide whether I want the Celinder or the Sadowsky and I can't afford either. I'm in agony here [/quote] hehe they are both pretty light, just the thing for a sore shoulder Steve
