At least 21 for me too.

There must be a previous Thread related to this but I can't find it so...

What's the best Lightweight Gigging Amp at the moment? I don't mind if it's a combo or a stack and I'm flexible with my budget.

When I was last playing around 2010, most were choosing a Genz Benz Streamliner w/ Neodynium Cabs and I want to know what the favourite is now?

I play mostly 60s - 90s music and I don't want to go too modern.

Please let me know your thoughts.

^ No.

Hmm, need to sell my Superstrat to get this

Great looking bass - Remember GASsing for the Taurus in my Teens (Same shape)

God Bless You Sir

What's a Limelight btw Guys? I've been out of the loop for a bit

Best Bongo Colour - BUMP

Love those Corts. Once you go Fretless, you can't do without - They really sing and add a bit more depth I feel. Enjoy!

What exactly is a non-nitro lacquer?

^ This.

ZZTop are wonderful - No one like em and often overlooked. One of my all time faves

Lovely colour combo too

I've recently switched a contoured body guitar for one with a slab body and I get more bass/low-mid response at the expense of comfort - Standing up is fine, but it can give you a jab in the ribs sitting down.

Missed out on the 4, bought something Yamaha and now I'll miss out on the 5

These are getting hard to find too

I know a company that also ignores both e-mail and facebook messaging, so they don't get my business. If I have to phone the shop, I feel under pressure to buy and I don't like that if I'm making inquiries.

One time I phoned the shop to ask for details about an item and they texted and rang me non-stop through working hours and completely lost their professionalism when I didn't reply within 2 hours.

I always consider myself a potential customer, as I've owned over 50 instruments, but it still has to be my decision and I hate pressure sales.

I've found a shop that always replies to me and they're very patient, so I'll keep going back.

I was listening to a 6 string version the other day and my word, these are incredible!! The low B actually sounded clear!

Someone buy it - I can't get to Sutton Coldfield

Like Graffiti Yellow and Capri Orange too

The Sahara looks great - I've never seen that one.

I feel like I need a cigarette after looking through those pictures.

Currently...None

Good advice. If I were recommending a best bass it would be a Precision as that`s what works best for me, but whenever I hear someone play a Stingray I love it. They don`t work for me though, so how could I recommend a bass that I love the sound of, yet which sounds pony when I play it.

Haha - Yeah I get this and I tend to like a Precision or a Double Soapbar Bass in my hands and I can play either 32" or 34" scales, so that counts out a lot of 5'ers.

I'll have to have a think - Thanks guys

It's a one off tribute that Chris May and Martin Lee made in memory of Jack Bruce (my favourite Bassist).

Well, my ideal score would be something like a 2nd hand Overwater (or a Shuker), but there's not many going and this is going to take a bit more saving up:



I like G&L, Yamaha and Warwick as 'Mainstream' Brands.

I've been out of bass playing for a while now, as I switched to guitars around 4 years ago.

I wanted to ask what you feel the best quality bass is between £600 and £900? Used to get all sorts for £650.

The reason I ask is because every time I spot something that I feel is a good deal, I see something a lot better for £100 extra...So my radar's out of touch.

I had a Marleaux Consat and a Bravewood Precision before I changed and I was very happy with these, but I couldn't get a band together at the time.

So what's out there nowadays??

(All input appreciated)
