This is gonna finish soon, still hasn't gone - the mind boggles. Why are there so many watchers for a 'buy it now' item??

[/quote] Haha, twas a wicked find on your part, after that I really fancied one of the new retro Jazz models G&L are making. If you get Andy Travis' Ric you'll have to let me know about the necks! I've never plucked up the courage to buy one blind ...but the sound is definately me!

I think it'll sell just fine solely by his enthralling charisma - everyone loves being called stuff like 'mate' and 'bruv' etc...it also opens up the oppurtunity for a dead arm.

Good i'm glad! Pretty sure 'Rayman' was using the same setup as me too, a winning combo! You'll have to let me know what its like if you try it with flatwounds - I never got round to it but i'm betting it may even be better.

Looks the biz doesn't it? haha! Well looked after too I wish I my church had a band . I was kinda using it for bedroom practice . Works well at low volumes as well plus its light and small so I didn't mind or need anything else! I think its 1200 watt bigger brother is a lil extreme however unless you end up playing for someone like U2. Took me 5 years to realise it was my amp that was the reason behind my basses displeasing me tone wise - musta gone through about 15 beginner/intermediate/ pro basses before I found the Genz...(and your bang for buck G&L ) If you watch that Ed Friedland chap reviewing all those different basses on youtube he uses a benz, does the lot. I'm definately taking it into account when I eventually buy my guitar amp - its 80% of the setup easy. This will be funding that :brow:

All i'm thinking is that dick, Robert Trujillo's gonna end up playing one. Its going to be only the mega, popular bands that can afford them. I think your very lucky if you got a 2nd one prior to this because the people buying the new ones are gonna take a mammoth hit on em. I think if you wanna go that good just get a GB and have done with it. I think Fodera are great, the chap from Jethro Tull plays one but you gotta buy your instrument within reason - they ain't Stratovarious. Stratovarious is a company that would appeal to an Indian Princess/Celebrity etc. not Fodera.

American made! Difficult to find from UK dealers... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genz-Benz-Bass-Amplification-750-Head-Neo-2x12-Cab-/150499219968?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item230a73da00"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genz-Benz-Bass-Ampli...=item230a73da00[/url]

Just quickly like to add I'm not putting the older gothic stuff down, I know that plays beautifully too - the looks just weren't for me.

Has anybody seen or heard one of these?? If their basses are anything like their guitars it'll be fantastic! I've owned my ESP guitar the longest out of everything i've owned and the price has jumped on it year after year. Incredible build quality/tone and playability if you can get past the unorthodox metal looks. Very versatile and great value for money, they're going up. I reckon ESP is going to rival G&L and the Lakland Skylines soon IMHO. They've recently been making improvements on vintage-esque guitar/bass models and its working. Got a conservative rock traditionalist like me psyched!!

Cliff Burton...um...No
