Owen got my Spector 5 in part ex against his Bolin 5 last week. easy deal,he's an all round good egg is our Owen. cheers! Keir

if not black/maple then white/maple - both are great but for me olympic white/maple makes for a great looking Jazz bass just a teensy bit nore than the black.

just watched last nights repeat. loved the tone off the Yeasayer's bassisist's Asat fretless. the guy had a nice sense of space to his playing with some wicked little fills. the vocalist though seemed to lift a lot of his posturing and movement straight off Brandon Flowers, and anyway singers with beards are just not on

that is a hulluva lot of bass for £400. though if its like the R3/R4 sen ash guitars it'll prolly weigh a fair bit damn I often type levinson blade in on ebay searches but not this past week.

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='174799' date='Apr 11 2008, 07:20 PM']so yeah im my search seems to be over![/quote] can we hold you to that?

lovin the Shuker - looks gorgeous,I'll bet it plays the same what do the switches do?

I sold a teal sub bass with an abalone plate for 300 quid 18 months ago. up to about 350 is ok for them imo. the not very nice textured finish and lack of detailing is too much of a no-no above that price. it played and sounded as good as my 2 band Stinger I had before it though

I used to post on the Ovation fanclub ( long time Custom Legend owner) but all that praise/worship talk started doing my nut in.well that and teh fact that none of the FS stuff was ever over here. still a good resource though. I'm still wanting a full bodied B768 Elite style USA bass,one day I'll get one. Keir

"spy in the cab" by Bauhaus the single note on the bass sounds like a tuned drum [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUfUTV1JqU4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUfUTV1JqU4[/url]

most likely a modulus. he lists his kit in this interview 3rd page down [url="http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=iSCzJpjetGYC&pg=PA50&lpg=PA50&dq=Hutch+Hutchinson+&source=web&ots=hdV9MDYOns&sig=V_Lh7m-jzcnfaFrVO1W29HGySVM&hl=en"]http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=iSCzJpj...GySVM&hl=en[/url]

never played a Sandberg but I love my Euro 5. it's poles apart in character from my SR5,and the B is really excellent on the Spector. I just got the Godlyke Disciple 5 off Eubassix and that sits somewhere between the two,more mids/growl than the Spector and more hi-fi than the MM. I was going to have another crack at a Bongo and had a 5string Hum/Single in mind but went for this instead and I'm glad I did. The Disciple has an 18v pre amp like the Bongo and more room between the J and the end of the f/board. but I guess availability could be an issue with them even if you wanted to have a look. these are a couple of David's pics

welcome (to GAS), the more Scots on here the merrier...means we may see a basschat mini-bash or the like up here sometime in the future all the best Keir

+ somewhere in the region of £180 duty/vat/import clearance fee lovin' the california sunset burst on these

nice playing Chris and Matt, lovin the tones off the G&Ls as well. I noticed with the L2K MFDs/electronics slightly rolling off volume and tone and where you place your right hand affects the sound more than I generally experience with other basses. and for me they sound bigger on the same amp settings than a Ray or Sterling in a band context. playing in an INXS tribute band last year I had my Sterling almost drop out the mix when all the band was running full tilt. so I plugged the Asat back in and the sound was there again. the sterling is a great bass but the G&Ls are a great band bass. they really come into their own in a loud band will need to get some clips of my Asat,SB-2 and pure mid range honk of the L1500 up sometime soon Keir

Kev, it cost £600 with G&L hard case from BB2000 on these boards.its minted,very light with teriffic sustain and bags of wood,thump and growl in the tone. well worth every penny whole neck is like that ^^^ Keir

Jamie at Hartnoll guitars 01752-255121 was very helpful back in February when I was looking for a JB-2 bass. I was after a Tribute one as I didnt think I'd get the USA version but he offered me a brand new butterscotch blonde Fullerton JB-2 at a really good price. I couldnt take it though as I'd just bought stingrayfan's L-1500. might be worth giving him a call and seeing what he can do for you

I've owned higher end and more versatile but biggest bond is with my G&L SB-2 with birdseye maple /ebony neck. If they all went I'd keep this its pure plug in and play

It's a great guitar to play, everything about it is right. It's cured most of my GAS for skinny six-stringers, but I can't help but think I might need another one identical to it in case I break a string on stage.[/quote] David, ooh I miss that one! I should never have let it go but then again it did allow me to buy my '94 Albert Lee which is my favourite 6 stringer ever Keir

Mart, I pretty much always use an automotive cleaner these days. (well one of the jobs I have is at a car garage) I couldnt stand most guitar polishes D'eandrea and others whose names escape me so long since I used any of them. the one I use now is a trade one Autoglaze finishing glaze but Wynns,auto glym etc all do similiar. its a cream white one not liquid and doesnt leave a residue on the instrument and will bring up a shine much better than any of the over the counter guitar polishes. heres the SR5 I got a few days ago. it was a bit dull looking when I first got it - one application of autoglaze and voila! check the sheen! and I've been using these products for the last 4 years without any probs - same stuff goes on showroom Lambos,mercs and beemers hope this helps Keir
