    the gig bags they come with are excellent,really top notch.I was well chuffed with it and just what I needed,too many cases taking up too much space...... and definetely +1 on the black/maple it's timeless. Anyway I hope you're as happy with yours when it arrives as I am with mine cheers

    I'm almost sure thats my old sunburst USA L2000 and if it is,unless its had a fair bit of work done on it, eg refret,shielding etc then I'd say your Tribby looks the better deal. I just bought a natural/maple TRibute and it can hold its own (apart from minor details) with my Fullerton ones no worries. you still may have paid above the odds though..I got mine for £235 used but I guess that was pretty cheap

    not for me but I know theres some fans of these on here BC [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Warwick-Vampyre-Limited-NT-4-New_W0QQitemZ150212792099QQihZ005QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Warwick-Vampyre-Limi...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

    the seller is David from Reading, a keyboard player who likes Stingrays? edit : I've amended the above with a question mark. my curiosity gets the better of me sometimes

    It was expensive enough selling a bass on there before,for me this latest hike just makes it a no-no I'll be sticking with ad trader and gumtree from now on

    in bass mode its fine,forget it with guitar unless you're going to drive the front end of it pretty hard.

    +1 on the envy green 5 string. Its gorgeous and the other 2 light my fire as well best porn I've seen in a while thanks for sharing
  8. dub_junkie
    thanks for the explanation David. I believe the Pensa-Suhr guitars were made the same way back when they were considered the dogs danglies and Knopfler was playing them. cheers edit : forgot to ask,did you get the mm5 Baritone?

    are the bodies and necks for both these brands manufactured inhouse from wood blanks? and why are valenti and sadowsky not a fair comparison? if something is a third of a price but can still hold its own then whats wrong with the comparison? sorry I'm a bit ignorant of these brands(hence the questions) but they both do look a bit special amongst the many J clones around.

    lovely collection what does the switch do on the StingRay? and I agree,black blocks and binding on maple is simply inteloreable!
  12. dub_junkie
    Tony,glad to hear you're still lovin the semi-hollow. The first time I gigged it my band leader said he'd never heard so much bottom end grind coming out a bass. and that was after the first few gigs I did with a Bongo.to my mind the Asat/L2K's are all about pure ballsy organic tone .... on a side note I've just bought Stingrayfans trans green L1500 - and looking forward to it joining my G&L harem . for the poster asking about the SB-2, nig or BB2000 would be your best bet for info. the one I got off BB has a 3 way switch and tone control so not your normal SB-2. on the G&L TB and BABP forums the SB-2 is discussed loads.you could maybe do a search there..

    getting the itch again after my last project finished up at the end of the last summer season. 39 years old with 25 years on bass (20 in working bands) hundreds of gigs experience over the years - soul/funk/pop/rock/oldies and goldies/whatever - as long as the band grooves I'm fairly easy will also take on 6 string duties no probs,just prefer bass and locking in with a drummer dont mind if its midi files/backing tracks but prefer to play in a big band if at all possible sorry no harmonies/backing vox though I can chant a bit lol ctc Keir on 01563-511387 my mail addy is keiry at email dot com

    I like them a lot. both my G&Ls are 1.5" at the nut.the L2000/L1000 are wider 1.75 at the nut,all 12" radius as standard,L series 4 strings can be ordered with the 1.5 neck too.I think all models come with an optional vintage 7.5" radius fingerboard.I'm not sure about the 5 string necks. the necks on both mine are like jazz bass necks,quite rounded and deep at the back,Asat especially so,the Asat also suffers from a bit of neck dive but I dont even notice it now. they're more fender than musicman neck wise imo The bottom end on G&L's is huge,the cherryburst Asat semi hollow I traded on these boards a few months ago was a bit of a beast in this respect.If tonyF chips in he'll confirm this. other things I like are the saddle lock bridge,active or passive modes,and some really great finishes and options. their other basses are both passive : the SB-2 which is G&L's hot P/J and the JB-2 which is their Jazz bass with 2 alnico single coils (the only bass they do without the MFDs) I miss that semi-hollow
  15. dub_junkie
    I wouldnt, but as said previous,if you're not getting on with it why keep it? strange youre not finding a sound you like out the G&L. is it too toppy sounding? do you have the treble boost on all the time?. if you havent tried already,run it in passive mode a while and back off the volume a bit.the MFD pups are fairly hot,but its more organic,woody and warm sounding with the preamp off imo.

    [b]Got my Stingray 5 and this Sterling is staying put (for now)[/b] Just got a USA G&L SB-2 yesterday off BB2000(lovin it!) I like new bass days and I fancy something new (to me) again and soon, so looking at my basses I realise I dont need 2 Sterlings,especially when the the only differences are in the colour and fingerboard material.I'm keeping the white sparkle one on account of the fact it took me such a long time finding one and I prefer the rosewood board on it so I'm offering this 04 CAR Sterling up in trade or part/ex against the following : MM SR5/Bongo 5, something by Lakland with 5 strings,mebe a G&L 5. would consider others too but I'm pretty much a G&L/MM guy so a bit picky.I could also be interested in another 4 string [u]In the unlikely event you have a G&L JB-2 you want to trade I'm absolutely all ears.[/u] I'm not really looking to sell,prefer to trade at this point as the money will just go back out on one of the above anyway Pics and details are on the basschatters review pages [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6399"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6399[/url] cheers

    nice looker from a safe seller could be a real bargain for someone [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/G-L-L2000-Tribute-Bass-Active-Passive_W0QQitemZ200193293989QQihZ010QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/G-L-L2000-Tribute-Ba...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

    I have SIT super hooks (no ball end) on my Axis - they're excellent tone wise and seem to stay brighter than Slinkys,D'Addario et al .I bought a dozen sets from The Guitar Store in Glasgow a while back back,not sure if they still stock the brand though

    Now with pics

    sorry I didnt like about the Streamer Std when I owned one - carolena body wood looked cheap and felt it too I'd honestly save the extra for a LX or a ProM or a Corvette Std I also think a SUB would be worth more than an extra 30 notes over a Streamer Std
