  1. I was listening to a 6 string version the other day and my word, these are incredible!! The low B actually sounded clear!
  2. Someone buy it - I can't get to Sutton Coldfield
  3. Like Graffiti Yellow and Capri Orange too The Sahara looks great - I've never seen that one.
  4. I feel like I need a cigarette after looking through those pictures.
  5. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1464732315' post='3062075'] 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. [/quote] 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
  6. It's a one off tribute that Chris May and Martin Lee made in memory of Jack Bruce (my favourite Bassist).
  7. 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.
  8. 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)
  9. You've owned a Pedulla before, so I believe you
  10. I've owned 7 instruments at once, but now I currently have 2 and would like to make it 3. I've cut back opting for quality and I'm happier now that I can't pick out issues, or things that need upgraded etc and I get on with my playing. You can try and get lucky with the budget thing, or blow £2k+, but I think that £1.5k mark is as good as it gets from a practical point of view - 1 or 2 of those and you're set for life.
  11. Just out of interest - Is it an Ash Body? Or Alder?
  12. Never tried a Carvin/Kiesel, but they do look great - Hard to find in the UK
  13. Dibs if you go to sell it , but I hope you enjoy it. I've had 7 G&Ls and my current No.1 is an Invader Guitar - Never had an average one, never mind a bad'un.
  14. Was just looking at the new Michael Anthony model - Never tried a Schecter, but the neck profile might be a bit too thin for me. Great looker though!
  15. Oh right! Well, yeah - I owned an ESP for 4 years and that narrow 'U' is fantastic. If you've had the Gibson 6 years then it's obviously a good one, so I would get it re-profiled in that case.
  16. How long have you had it? It may just take some getting used to - I love the 50s profile! If you're certain you want to change, I would like to trade with someone who doesn't like the 60s neck.
  17. [color=#141414][font=Georgia,]Today I increased my collection from 1 to 2 guitars! The G&L did everything anyway, but I used 'alternate tunings' as a way to justify the Yamaha...[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][/font][/color]
  18. And a badass he was too - I have a signed painting of him. Saw his final tour and although he couldn't solo very well, his vocals were spot on! (Strange) Always had a soft spot for these; I think you should keep it for £175!! That's nothing for such an unusual bass.
  19. I also felt the Rickenbacker was a bass to be played with a pick, whereas the Kubicki suited fingers, which is why I preferred it back then.
  20. I've only played the 4001 model and I loved the sound and everyone said I look cool as f**k, but it felt strange playing strings that were almost parallel to eachother. I could've gotten used to it until I played an absolute monster of a Kubicki. That said, I miss the 4001 more than the Kubicki...
  21. I thought the exact same as the OP and then I picked up one of those cheap Sue Ryder P Basses from a few years back and WOW!! I loved my high performance basses until then, from the Cort A Series to the Marleaux Consat. I don't feel a P can do 'everything', as it can lack that punch at times, but it's definitely a staple to partner with something like a Jazz (or that Marleaux Consat I mentioned ).
