...going back a few years Dawsons (Liverpool and Chester) used to have a fair few G&L's in.

+1 for the akg and the soundcontrol option ! IMHO Great little units for the price.

Top marks to Gwilym, boght a Sansamp Bass Driver off him. Top bloke !!!!

Very tasteful ! If only there were a few decent available used lefties knocking about the uk !!!!

playablilty ? ....ok, imho the fact that they are slab-bodied gets some used to, the neck should be 'hard work' (at least compaired to a jazz) and tone-wise it's a bit limited - hey, it was designed in '51. ....but after all that , it's well worth it !

Always loved the look of the streamer in chrome - oh to be right handed - the choice is endless !!!! That said, wasnt Stu Zenders' a chrome 5 with green leds ??!!

...they look ace ! Does that help ??!!!

...excellent basses, I own a l/h cali jj4c - my only issue would be the wafer thin paint job !!!

Glad your happy with it !!!!

...don't get me started on the lefty bass issue (or should that be issues !!!).

Just a quick note to vouch for metaltime - swapped my stingray 4 for his stingray 5 fl - top marks and a lovely fella !

Nice looking bass - price is probably about right given the rarity and condition. And more than likely, like the majority (well, mine at least) of mid-late 70's lefty p and j basses will weigh a ton !!! Go for it - great basses and it's value will only increase !

Red Planet Guitars.....the BG bass...be afraid.... It's the bridge that really frightens me !!!!

Has to be... Wham! - 'Wham Rap' - (esp. live at Brixton - Deon Estus on fire !). I'll get my coat...

Just a quick heads up on a hand made EB3 copy for all us poor southpaws... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIBSON-EB3-sg-bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ320207954946QQihZ011QQcategoryZ33040QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]....lefty eb3 ![/url] This listing has nothing to do with me !!!

Al Jackson Jr RIP - defo !

....this is just a thought, so don't bite my head off. spend your £200 wisely, buy something that is gonna be more valuable on ebay....!!!??? Then save up or invest and buy a used SVT 2/CL head and do the 2 4x10s justice !!! ....I'll go back in my box !

I'd like to stick up for the Crown !!!! I've used an XS500 as a power amp behind a number of pre-amps (ampeg, line6, behringer etc) through a variety of cabs (mark bass, eden, marshall) and have absolutely no issues with it whatsoever, it's a pretty transparent amp so the real colour comes from the pre and the bass. That said, I've not used it through 2 cabs at once - but imho for the power it supplies and price you can get it for it's a winner !

Hiya - whats the fretless Jazz bass - the headstock looks like a German Hot Wire bass??!!!

...just had to say the dj where i played last night got confused and instead of 'auld lang syne' we got 'happy birthday' !!!! 10/10
