[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1358897584' post='1946944'] Well, this one's been a work in progress (albeit one I've gigged quite a bit in the meantime) for a good while, it was only the flats I put on it recently motivated me to get the thing more or less finished. Black and maple sounds really nice (most of my other basses are this colour combo) - any pics? [/quote] I`ll stick up a pic when I get it looking decent. Still got some finishing to do on it.

Looking good Muzz. I have just knocked up one of these myself but it is nowhere near as nice as yours though. It`s still a work in progress

13 year old girls? Sounds about the avarage age of the girls who drink in Paisley town centre on a saturday night

Hello Sir William!! Or in Glasweigan..........Awright there Big Wully!!! This reminds me of that scientific report that statted that if you gave 10 monkees bass guitars and enough time, they could write a Victor Wooten solo album. Or words to that effect.

Brand loyalty, Fender`s marketing compared to gl, not considered cool and cause no bugger knows about them basically.

They used to have a thin gig bag with them but unless you are buying a "classic" model you get no bag which is pretty bad crack. A couple of alan keys and a generic set up guide and a cardboard box that`s your whack!

The B3 is a very good piece of kit. I`m still finding out how to use mine as I`m really not an effects type guy but if you need a particular effect, it will most likely be there.

I have owned a few Tribute L2000`s and they are superb basses. Rock solid build quality and US pickups (I have read reports of dodogy pots but this didn`t effect mine) and a multitude of switching options. I got rid of mine because the neck was so much of a handful but if I could afford the US model with the slimmer neck I`d be in there. I think it must be their lack of marketing. Outwith this forum, I have not heard anyone speaking about gl.

I am happy with my gear. After spending thousands on gear over the last 4 years or so I have come to the conclusion that the cheap but decent gear I have at the moment does me ok and it`s the thrill of buying I was addicted to as after a few months I would usually move the recently bought gear on.

No probs Fumps. Pm me.

I have a Kite I`m needing shot of. Now it`s not your usual kite you buy from the corner shop. It is an Impact kite made by a Uk company called Spirit of Air. I bought it about 10 years ago, used it a few times then left it in a cuboard. I think I paid around £30 for it at the time. It is made of nylon, a sort of triangular shape, fits together perfectly and has 2 controlers to let you do all the aerobatic stuff. It is about 2 ft across when put together and comes in it`s own bag. Perfect for windy days. As it is a bit fragile and I can`t be bothered with the hassle posting, it is collection only from Paisley or we could work something out but I would much prefer collection.

Same here. I arrive, set everything up, check bass type noise is comming from the speaker, get told to turn down as I`m too bloomin loud and send the singer for the drinks. A pint of fresh orange and lemonade with ice for me. As long as your happy with the sound you are getting that`s all that matters.

Go into your profile. In the top right, there is a black box with "edit my profile" Click that and on the lefthand side, pick "signiture" and add whatever info you want including a link to your feedback topic. Bob`s your funny auntie.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1358603151' post='1942009'] [/size] [size=4]It is, but I'm getting to the point where I just can't play for two hours with anything heavier! [/size] [/quote] Considering I play a Sr300, one of the lightest basses you will find, on gigs and in the studio, I should really keep my mouth shut!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1358534213' post='1941105'] 14lb...! [size=4]Mine's 8. Thank God![/size] [/quote] I`m 99% sure that is what it weighed. I weighed it after I let a guy play it when he was buying an amp from me and he commented on it. It was the best sounding P I have ever owned mabye due to the weight. I tried to look back on the for sale post but I had deleted all the info! It came from Bassix to me then Andy67 then....? 8lb`s? Thats a big girls blouse weight! The Squier is a good looking bass and well worth a second hand punt.

Flippin heck! 24 posts and not one "Adam Clayton is crap!" post. Most unusual. (I like u2 by the way)

Nice playing. Is that Mickey Moody with the skip hat on?

I had a Squier one. No routing under the gaurd and mine had an Kent Armstrong pickup, Wilkinson tuners and bridge. The previous owner had upgraded it and it sounded nice. I liked the neck on it as I do on most Squiers, nowhere near as chunky as the Fender version which is like a C neck profile I think. And nice and light unlike the 14lb of the Fender.

I would say you have got a bargain there as people are playing on the fact they have been discontinued (I seem to remember) and are asking stupid money for them.

Here you go. Don`t know how accurate it is. [url="http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/w/who/substitute_btab.htm"]http://tabs.ultimate...titute_btab.htm[/url] Runs and ducks for cover for posting a bass tab

I gigged a VMJ for about a year with no problems what so ever and I liked it and so did the fussy b*strd guitarist. A lot of people change out the pickups but I liked the sound from the Dunc des ones fine. They are perfectly gigable instruments and having owned several US Fenders, for my situation at least, the Squier did the biz and I may get another in the future when the cash is available.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1358337484' post='1937141'] I opened the link and had to retrieve my jaw from the floor - that PB70-US/ASH is gorgeous. It'd go very nicely with my own PB70-US that I have in black. [/quote] Gotta agree Dood. This is the bass that prompted me to post the link.

Here is a link to the Fender Japan site. Most of it is in Japanese of course but it`s a good look for all you Fender heads out there. [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/pb70-usash.html"]http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/pb70-usash.html[/url]

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1358288262' post='1936633'] That's me [/quote] As a persistent Gumtree muso section trawler, I thought I saw your ad looking for a drummer H. Get anyone decent / sane?

I wouldn`t worry about it too much. There seems to be a shortage of bass players in the Glasgow area. Unfortunatley, there is also a glut of numpties looking to form bands in the Glasgow area!! Stick an advert in Gumtree and they will come running too you............
