I understood the fb post as 'this is our new model called Mopped'. That would be a strange name though. What's even stranger is only one knob, volume I suspect?

Aguilar's Octamizer - it is pretty badass, and I love mine.

[attachment=230381:08700023.JPG] Here's mine. Reverb and flanger are in the MicroBass's loop, and the tuner gets a signal via Link output so I can tune when mute is on.

we hear you JTUK, now drop some names so perhaps others can discover something they've been missing for years!

I'm pretty sure a shop cannot, legally, take cash in hand without a receipt - just sayin' ... If it does not go through the books then it is not part of the business, it is guys at the shop making additional income from selling what normally ends up as rubbish. Happy to be corrected on this though.

[size=5]I bought a fretless Yamaha from CokeyW and all I can say he is a real gent.[/size] [size=5]Not only I got the bass at an amazing price and super fast but also when some trouble with how the courier handled the delivery emerged, he made sure we resolved the issue quickly and to complete satisfaction.[/size] [size=5]Thanks again, CokeyW.[/size]

nope, not a word re Barefaced, sorry Kev but he does talk about why/how he got back into stingray after years of Fender and then Lakland

I saw Mike Watt last night play this bass with his Il Sogno Del Marinaio project, and it sounded absolutely awesome through a mark bass rig. But you won't be surpsrised when I tell it sounded 100% Watt - guess it's true what they say that it's all in the fingers

does anyone have a Reverend? what they're like, quality, feel wise?

I buy strings from wherever I can get them cheapest. Buy them if the price is ridiculously low from amazon, if the product is somehow not right, return it hassle free, but it seems amazon often is able to sell stuff at prices unimaginably low.

Neepheid, yes those bloody philistines really don't know what's good for them! By the way, it may be your posts on this very forum about G&Ls that made me buy the M2000 to pair it up with my L2000, yes, I blame you Delius, here I was getting quite convinced that it is best just to sell it but you are a proud owner of a fretless M2000 which you seem to like, hmmm... I think I may need to flip a coin at one point since I am so bloody undecided but thank you all for your input.

Hi - I noticed that what I post comes up as if I posted it an hour earlier, is this a setting you guys need to change twice a year, or is it my laptop's internal clock?? Say I posted something 21:07 and it came up as posted 20:07. Thanks Adam

Machines, RhysP - thank you. Interesting, useful stuff. I am quite surprised at the statement that a mod will decrease an instrument's value, regardless whether it improves the instrument or not. I would have thought that modding a vintage Fender would do that but these single coil switches add the flexibility of single coils without taking away the humbucker sound (in middle position of these three-way switches) to a fairly affordable range instrument, surely makes it a [i]better[/i] instrument..? Any thoughts on whether this bass would make a good fretless?

Fellow Basschatters, here's my first world problem. I bought this fine M2000 G&L Tribute series from Thomann some time ago, a lovely bass, mahogany core, maple cap, transparent black with binding. Neck is between a P and a J, easy to play, not too skinny. Sound is fat from those two humbuckers and 18V preamp with added flexibility of tone controls and a blend knob. I felt it was sometimes too fat and in my quest to make it more like a super J I had it modded with two coil switches so the humbucks can become any of the single coils combinations. I also added black knobs with lines so I know where my settings are - with such powerful and plentiful flexibility I wanted to see the settings and not keep guessing where the sweet spot is that I last had it at. Here's a photo of it: [attachment=219368:IMG_1387.JPG] Now the thing is I find myself not playing it that much, nothing wrong with it, I just tend to go to the L2000 one just so much more. I also have a Squier PJ which I pick up when I need a passive, classic tone. So I was thinking of perhaps selling the M2000 and I know GAS will not allow me to have a three-guitar stand and two basses... I never had a fretless so I will probably end up buying a fretless. Do I sell the M2000 and then try to buy a fretless or de-fret the M2000? The dilemma here is that the G&Ls don't seem to attract a good resale value, even after the mods I have done to this one I don't expect it to go for a lot, even though it has never been gigged and is in superb condition, always had flats on so frets are like new (spent £575 plus £70 for the coil mod, and people sell their G&Ls on here for like £300 or something, crazy!). De-fret at my local workshop is £90 (I will not attempt doing it myself). Sell and buy a fretless, or keep and de-fret??

Yawn.

Larry Graham, the inventor of slap? Then I am not sure about P, sure you can slap a P but for better, cleaner zingier effect try something with either two jazz pickups or humbuckers etc. Revelation the one you linked looks good too, p plus j pick up gives you the best of two, even three worlds! Squier Vintage Modified range is great too. Welcome to the forum, btw bass gallery is my local too which is not that great for my bank balance

Ignite amps you say? Hmnm, let me give that a go then too
