There are plenty of threads that will give you the low down on on G&L and Ibanez SR basses, but as a guide: G&L wise any of these https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/search/?Query=l_2000+tribute&searchoverride= Ibanez, any of these https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/search/?Query=Ibanez+sr+bass&Filters.InStockOnly=True&Filters.InStockOnly=false&Filters.MinPrice=600&Filters.MaxPrice=1000 As has been said above, get out and try some (I only use Guitar Guitar as an easy to browse and search website, but they are a great company to deal with in my experience). However, if you fancy taking punt, this is a bit of a bargain at €990, if you fancy a bit P+ action https://www.public-peace.de/bass-guitars/exhibition-items-bass/465-jake-4a-sterling-white100169

Fender Vintera range, Ibanez SRs, G&L Tribute L range are 3 that spring to mind.

I’m still hoping to get along. 🤞

Likewise. You, sir, like your avatar, are on fire. What do they say? Great minds think alike (and fools never differ). 😂

Sounds great, especially that neck pickup. £595 seems a steal. Fortunately, I don't like 38mm nut width necks; phew! 😅

Add to that, the returns option on long distance selling rules

Damn and bügger! I forgot all about this.

Nice.

Ooh! 😯

That is freaking genius!

Another vote for Squiers, not only are they great for the money, but they also have really good residual value. Harley Bentons from Thomann, receive good reviews, but won't have the resale value should you choose to move it on. If you don't have a bass playing buddy, get yourself down to your local bass emporium and try a few. If you let us know where you're based, I'm sure the BC collective can recommend a helpful outlet.

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel, always makes me feel good. As does Lola Montez - Volbeat. The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin has a wonderful melancholy about it, which is then easily lifted by Over The Hills And Far Away (what a great album House of the Holy is). Cliffs Of Dover - Eric Johnson never seems to get old to my ears, as does pretty much anything from the first Bad Company album. To be honest, there are way more more tunes that give me joy than those that make me want to eject the radio out of the nearest window; probably why I'm a musician.

One of my bands is a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers tribute. There are more 6 stringers than you can shake a stick up and there are numerous changes (i.e. not just window dressing). I just take one bass.

Could be a galloping success. I’ll get my coat.

All 5 springs tightened right down always managed to lock my old Strat bridges down. However, you can also add a Hipshot Tremsetter.

Yikes! 😮

No really mistakes, but picking up a ‘63 P Bass when I only went out to buy an MIM ‘50s reissue and hearing Peter Kastner play a Rob Allen MB-2 on YouTube; both resulted in inflated expenditure.

It’s easy for me to say anything by (insert artist name here), but I’d like to try for something more specific. These are the things that make turn the radio, normally tuned to Planet Rock, off: Bat out of Hell (it’s so long and meandering, with nasty guitar tone, basically cod opera). Sweet Home Alabama (done to death by cover bands and poorly at that). Anything by The Doors (sorry, I know I said I wouldn’t, but I really can’t stand them).

Yep, I just posted this on the review page. Free TARDIS with every ‘advance’ ticket.

Hmm, I just received an email (as I’m sure plenty of you did too) to buy advance tickets to last week’s show. It appears time travel is possible. 😂

Thread resurrection time with a demo of the Rick fiver...
