*sigh* £565? this has to be the best deal on the market unless I've missed something.

Whats the value?

Can I ask why its called the 'Pub bass'? Or is it just a nickname?

Lovely slap tone especially, very crisp . I've alway found maple boards to be too jazz/funk orientated for me as well, if it had a rosewood board I reckon you'd be sorted. If your looking for 60's/70's rock I got what ya need!!

Makes me wanna play guitar. The bassist just keeps pulling the open G over and over and over. Slap bores me 80% of the time.

Poor quality sound clips will be continually added until sale using my Olympus dictaphone lol. All recording will be created from a Genz Benz 750 set to flat on the clean channel and involve changes solely from the Hoyer's gibson electronic circuit. No pedals included.

Hopefully it will give you an impression of the aggressive thump and growl of the bass. Vintage vibrations ).

Apologies for poor playing and random inaccurate licks.

It has a bridge humbucker setting for fingerstyle funk

Guitar amps would tempt me a lil I guess but I'm completely sorted for Bass amps with my new Genz Benz

£575 posted. Priced for very quick sale!

Really appreciated Al's business, he paid the quickest so far without a single hitch, not that I expected there to be one. He was very kind and understanding with lightning quick PM responses. I wouldn't think twice about dealing with him in the future, maybe next time I'll be buying! Hope the arm gets better soon and thanks again!

Tis lovely, I can get a lot out of my two pickup version but yours must do the lot! The blocks are great to look at, I took mine to Cardiff Guitars and the owner loved it, says he has a collection of his own! I'm tempted to start collecting myself but probably need something like an MIA jazz to begin with. Do you gig both??

Any found my missing £400?? All Bob's stuff is mint condition, buy with confidence.

On hold

I'd also like to point out, I had a guitar teacher of 55 years young and he owned 130 guitars/basses/mandolins/bazoukis etc and he bought another flat to house them...

15 by the age of 21 and after 5 years of playing. I'm keeping one. I may have a problem.

...Your hands are definately too small for this! [/quote]

Haha thats what I'll keep tellin myself Marty...the guy who owns its called Oliver too!! Salt in the wound

Hit me with trades and PXs too or it'll be on Ebay. Fantastic bass - but I don't have hands big enough for a five string I guess, unless its really tight at the nut and has 24 frets - as I say small hands .

How heavy is it?

Jeebus, whoever buys this I hate them.

I've just found Jaco's honky Jazz tone fiddling about with the volume and tone controls when switched to the the bridge position. Consider it withdrawn, its a keeper. 1st one!! Also Hoyer's new line is coming out soon so value might go up, I intend to buy a new model - I suggest you do too.

[quote name='WalMan' post='817785' date='Apr 25 2010, 03:18 AM']So do I, but I still have a hankering for this, which would give me red & green L2500's. They are such great basses and do sound so good.

Now then, a few weeks working from home and saving £70 diesel a week...........hmmmmmmmm[/quote]

Can't think of a better backup to compliment a red fretted G&L L2500 than a fretless green and ebony of the same model . All the finishes on the USA's are so varied!! Would be keen to see piccies

bump

It switches from bridge humbucker to neck humbucker to both to single coil neck and single coil bridge as well as mute. The pickup spacing is huge so theres quite a range my local guitar tech loved it, when he was checking it out - he owns a lot of Hoyer gear. Fantastic intonation and ultimately comfortable, no finger stretching here. He showed me some more tone settings fiddling about with the rotaries - gimme a week and might find some more.

Rosewood blocked necks look far far better than maple. Theres not that many rosewood blocked 78 around.
