That's a seriously good price cant see this hanging around long mate

Put it on dry and tape around the pedal with electrical tape so the switch cant move ?

That's fairly inoffensive as decals go isn't it? I wouldn't have known it was the Biffy logo and I quite like them.
[/quote] This that decal is pretty small personally if it was me I would live with it seems like alot of hassle to remove something so small

You need to put a price on it mate so people know how much it is

How bad is it and where are you? Some cheap basses start with sharp fret ends anyway, as long as the frets are in the slots then you can use a file and a nail file to smooth them off, as for the setup I'm sure one of us can at least get it playable or maybe better if you bring it to us, I'm happy to do it based near Stafford depending on where in Wales you are that may be of use or not but im sure someone else would offer the same?
[/quote] Good idea and what a nice offer personally I would sell the Tanglewood as is and buy something else and Pete's bass looks so lovely I don't think he should sell it I think he should give it to me lol

It's neither an SB Elite II nor a Matsumoku product. It's an SB-ELT, first models of which date to '88. If you're lucky the code sticker may still be there - between/below the 1st and 4th tuners.
[/quote] you Could of opened a can of worms here mate I don't what it is , but it is a nice bass

Hi Rasta mate I think there's still a prob I cannot see the picture of the front of the bass and I also cannot believe it has not sold yet

[size=4]Think you should get one mate you wont be unhappy with it ...maybe there is a G+L stockist in you area listed on the G+L website? hope someone closer to you pops up to let ya try one you can try mine if your in this neck of the woods ever. [/size]

[size=3]​I use Ernie ball super Slinky strings or the Legacy strings from strings direct..... On the subject of strings anyone tried Ken Smith compressor strings? they any good there's not a lot of info about them I saw them on Ebay and just wondered about them.[/size]

Maybe he has not read the post mate looks like he hasn't been online since the 29th

Hello Thunderbird my friend. If all T'birds are as good as yours you could just be right. I hope your arm is better and you are giving it some stick at the low end. Take care.

[/quote] Hi mate no arm and hand no better I have played the bass about 3 times since we met up I it gave me alot of stick grrr hope your well my friend ( and sorry for the thread hijack GLWTS )

[size=3]Get a Thunderbird Mr Pestie you know ya wanna mate [/size]

Really like this but my bank balance dont ffs

I set them both at about 12 oclock I find that good for me its hard to try and describe the tone as everyone has different ideas on it but I would say I get a nice warm punchy rock sound with the settings I use mine also has an upgraded seymour SB1 pickup but I just love this bass I have tried a lot of other basses similair to this and they don't come close to the G+L for me maybe I am biased but all I know is it is just such a joy to play and sounds great looks pretty good too

Hi mates I am thinking of getting something like a Peavey Milestone for a little project I want something in a jazz type formation , now I am thinking the Peavey is right for the job as you can pick up a decent one for around 50 quid I also have seen a few Yamahas and Ibanez basses with a jazz type formation. I am thinking of upgrading the pickups and maybe a little respray new strings nothing to major so you guys got any suggestions on what I should be looking for? I have set myself a budget of 50 quid for the bass but parts etc I need will be bought as and when I have funds. Just wanted to add I am not looking for any "no name basses"

Thanks in advance

I have an SB-2 its the mutts lovely sound lovely feel nice weight but I think I am much to far from you to try it but it is a fantastic bass I love it

[size=4]Well the title says it all really sorry if this has been done before I did search for a thread on this but could not find one so I started a new one.[/size]I do most of my Bass shopping online mainly for the reason that there is not really any good music shops near where I live and I cant drive at the moment so online shopping is great for me as I can have the stuff delivered the only real drawback is you cant really try stuff, So I just wondered if you guys shopped online for Bass stuff or use your local music shops? when buying large items such as basses and amps I always look in the for sale area here as a starting point but for smaller items such as strings, straps etc etc I tend to use ebay Amazon and strings direct I have just started using Thomann also for a few purchases and find them pretty good. looking forward to your answers on this one guys

For me I think it has to be.

James Lomenzo - White lion/Megadeth

Tom araya - Slayer

Gene simmons - Kiss

I use my Zoom B1 with headphones and I get the added bonus of lots of funky sounds to play with they are also fairly cheap second hand

Think Mr cloudburst and Mr Cetera are the guys who will know about these

Just bought a Digitech pedal from Mark all I can say is what a fantastic Basschatter all was as described and delivery was very fast . Mark has also helped me out with another purchase I will be making from him next week he is really polite helpful and accommodating a huge thumbs up from me cant get any better than this just perfect.

Thanks Mark

Might be a Fender neck stuck on a dodgy body there's been lots of them on ebay recently but most likely a sticker on a scrap bass
