I've gone for the GB Contour 500 1x15 + GB ext cab, as at those prices it was rude not to! Taking delivery over the next couple of days and will be rehearsing with both on Friday, so I'll report back.

Ah that's great. Thank you.

Hi folks. Does anyone know if there is a cover available for the contour 500 combo? Thanks in advance.

Have no fear mate, this isn't a hasty decision......I've been debating it for ages now. I'm just not doing anything with it and its taken 2 years to decide on the sale. The guitar has been unbelievable, but the time is right to move her on.

As always guys, perfect advice. I'll get pics etc together and get it on here. Thanks once again.

Hi folks, Time has come for me to part company with my beloved 73' P bass. She's been with me for 23 years and was the first proper guitar my Dad bought for me when he realised I was really serious about being a bassist. My FrankenJazz delivers absolutely everything I need in terms of thump and twang, and so to have such a wonderful bit of kit living in a case is a crying shame. What I'm after is an upgrade in backline. My Hartke HA3500A, pro series cab and Aphex bass xciter have blown my mind in recent months, but I've had my head turned by the flexibility of the likes of the GB, Aguilar and Eden heads, not to mention the various lightweight cab options available. I'm in no rush to get rid of the P, but I have decided to let it go in pursuit of backline greatness. With all that in mind, I've been looking at the various options open to me, with trade in being one of them. Has anyone got recent experience in trading something along the same lines into any of the northern guitar hangouts (I'm in northumberland)? Any I should avoid? and any you'd recommend? Are there deals to be had along the same lines as if I go in with cash? I certainly won't have any of them extracting the Michael out of me as I know what it's potentially worth in a straight sale, but I thought I'd ask the BC community for a bit of direction. Cheers

I'm listening to Joe Robinson - Australian wonder guitarist (and only 20 yr old!!!), and if you can imagine such a thing, he's kind of a cross between Joe Bonnamassa and Jason Mraz.......but is absolutely incredible! Gorgeous melodic jazzy rock type stuff - brilliant! Awesome band he has to (some brilliant bass playing), defo worth a listen folks Drew.

My dad is a shadows nut, so I've grown up with all of the sounds and styles they've adopted through the decades.I can't be sure there isn't any miming going on in that clip, but believe me, they sound as tight as that when they are live - incredible group of muso's (individually as well as in the shads). Oh, and thats Mark 'Griff' Griffiths......an amazing bassist, and a rather impressive jazz guitarist too. I think it may be a Sue Ryder bass, as I'm sure he had something to do with the stall that was set up at the northern shads convention a few years ago.
