    OBBM or Fenders - at present I use the Fenders as I have my cables in different colours for different jobs. Makes it easier when setting up on dark stages.

    I still didn't properly introduce myself, so here we go.

    I was born in 1960, in The Netherlands. My father was a multi-instrumentalist. As far as I remember he played organ, piano, violin, harmonica, trombone and accordion. In my teens I played keyboard, but nothing special. Later, in my early twenties I was responsible for a youth bar, where I organised quite a few gigs. In the early 80's we had a few punk bands playing at our venue. Every time I saw a band playing, I thought if I had to choose an instrument, it would be the bass.

    Many years passed, without playing any instrument at all. At the age of 36 I became father. Eight years later my son wanted to play guitar, so I bought him a cheap acoustic guitar. A few years later he wanted an electric guitar and lessons. We went to a music store to buy him a guitar, a combo and some small stuff. There it happened! I saw many basses on display... 

    At home I tried his guitar when he was asleep. I found out that I really wanted a bass. I didn't even know what GAS was, but I did experience a severe GAS-attack. So I bought my first bass, an Ibanez GSR200EX. I still have it. I modified it to accommodate B, E, A and D strings, plus I removed the pre-amp and optimised a few details.

    In real life I'm responsible for a thermo-physical calibration and research lab. I'm living in the direct vicinity of the lowest place in The Netherlands. That's about it. B|

    I've always thought of gear4 as an online shop. Having been to the York showroom I certainly wouldn't expect them to have stock of everything they're listing online there without confirming first. Can't say I really see the problem. 

    yes some of there stuff comes from elsewhere which you pay extra p an p for

    If I was dealing with an online retailer I’d obviously agree that in stock and the delivery date mean it’s not going to be with me any time soon. However as they have a physical shop I thought I could pick up an item that’s ‘in stock’ instead of having it delivered. Wrong. It’s not in stock at the shop. To me, that means they need to clarify what they mean. 

    Good examole is Argos. If an item is in stock it says so, otherwise it says which store it’s at or whether it’s just online. If it’s not in stock and requires ordering from their supplier it says not in stock because as far as the buyer is concerned, it isn’t. 

    right on

    I'm totally new here and probably not of much interest to this crowd. My husband is the bass player in the family -- I'm just a fan. That said, I am looking for a particular bass for him, since he calls it "the one that got away". Bass in question is limited edition Music Man SSS four-string Big Al Dargie Delight (metallic green). Ebony fretboard. I feel like I'm looking for a snow leopard in New York City, but I want to try. Apologies if this is an inappropriate post. 

    hiya and wellcome . sorry cant help with the bass but someone on here might know

    Has it always been like that or has it just started?

    Assuming it's an under saddle piezo, it is usually that the saddle isn't resting properly on the piezo element. That can be because the saddle is a bit tight in the slot or that the bottom of the saddle isn't flat or for other reasons.  Usually easily fixed.  What bass is it?

     

    its been like that from new its a gear 4 music bass its a chepo but plays ok

    Try spending a few hours with your radio tuned to Absolute Radio (or similar Oldies station) and see how many of the big hits from the past you can successfully busk based simply on the fact that you grew up listening to the song.

    If you have a talent for that, then you'll do fine at any jam session.
