  1. Translucent Green very few in that colour
  2. the light weight of the original Growler is good for me however previously I though only a heavy bass would sound "good"
  3. 1995-96 tobias Gibson growler Memphis Imo this has lower QC than the Arkansas version but the Bartolini electronics are incredibly versatile
  4. 2005 Gibson Tobias Growler (Arkansas) a well made instrument- I have read of Gibson being “sloppy” but this was top shelf. Sold to a guy with an original Tobias - and he loves it

    Hi a Mu-Tron III is available here in NZ Do they have an awkward power supply? The ad description says "No PSU" cheers
  7. not sure what that means, sorry
  8. still got my mid-90's Growler , a nice instrument. The electronics are amazing and it's the lightest bass I have ever owned. I think it was made on 1995/6 Bill Bartolini said they would never make the Growler electronics again. The Gibson Arkansas Growler's from approx 2005-7 were nice instruments but the original pick up models are an unique Bass
  9. Saturday Night - The Blue Nile
  10. Idles - “Tangk” Miles Davis “ Kind of Blue” Fleetwood Mac “ Rumours
  11. Beta V is a lovely pedal. Well pleased with it
  12. It was Blue Murder!!!
  13. Trio jam this evening a lot of fun
  14. GHS set on my Stingray presently Chromes were good on this but certainly a different flavour
  15. Flats are the business on Fretless. smooth as a baby’s bottom
  16. Both Reid and Sher books have been helping me for decades highly recommend both
  17. i am very happy with my free the tone silky compressor - it certainly helps my filters get funky
  18. Was Stingray Sunday at mine
  19. The old trusty Brown Boss limiter
  20. I did 45 minutes practice with this instrument standing up ( I nearly always practice whilst sitting down and often do the same at gigs) and while this is a heavy instrument the balance was very good and no neck dive. I'm running it into a Diamond / SGFX Bass Comp/EQ with the mid switch at 900 not 500 which is what I use for all my other basses. It sounds better, I don't have an explanation why Plectrum use is ok , I'll need to practice more , probably prefer a heavier gauge than what I normally use The Pick Up / Electronics are not "hot" like my 2EQ Stingray 4. I'd look under the hood but I have no idea what I'm looking for in any knowledgeable way The treble boost pot doesn't add hiss - hurrah - not that I ever use the treble pot much The pick guard is a replacement - the original is a shocker - like a metal foot wiper Is this a good Bass? I thinks so. It's certainly 25-33% cost on the only 2EQ Stingray 5 USA I could find. Once I got slightly more familiar with it's quirks and string spacing I'd happily gig this anywhere, any genre
  21. Bought this in December but today is the first day of proper playing numerous things needs fixing , for me it was unplayable strung with the Labella 760FS the electronics are not the greatest its certainly a heavy instrument The new nut the luthier made is considerably better , now the G string is actually on the fingerboard Holds it’s tuning well , intonation very good , with some bass boost EQ and a high ish action it’s very nice to play walking lines on Bass - Hard Case - Freight - Strings - Luthier … all up approximately £725
  22. next in is the old Brown Boss LM-2B
