After reading Beedster's blog on doublebass, I do feel I'm gently going that way already. G&L's are kind of a super precision - plus I've fitted it with flats also, the only thing missing is it having a fretless jazz neck and it would be perfect. Some sort of fretless is still on the cards I feel :blush: I was also tempted by Clarky's '76P but I know i'll have difficulty getting my small hands round it - an upright maybe more difficult still but the vertical aspect plays better as I can bring my arm across. I love the tone and would definately revert to the old Jack Bruce stuff but the size/price worries me a little as I wouldn't know which to buy, i'm not sure I'd like a EUB. Bubinga5, I think the reason I'm playing my sister keyboard is for a different approach to scales, feels so different when your looking at the notes from a birdseye point of view, doesn't have the same aggressive personality of a bass which just makes me wanna synth like George Duke lol. I'm also going with the new band approach, i think its time! I liked Happy Jack's idea to just get stuck in, I worked my way through Black Sabbath's NIB and Jethro Tull's Bouree and then followed it with The Cure - a band I rarely listen to! I just think I get so caught up in GAS for everything over the years I forgot all the magic I made on my first bass an (Overwater setup) Fretless Cort A4 I've got some thinking to do! Thanks again!

I'm starting to get bored of bass guitar at current due to my playing being in a rut, I procrastinate by reaching for my guitar or hogging my sisters keyboard. I'm on the edge of switching, however i've worked up enough cash to either: Buy a guitar amp and switch back and forth Buy a Roland VB-99 as my effects unit and try something new Buy a fretless bass (which I hugely enjoy!) and use it as my main bass Go all in and buy a really high end bass (£1k+) Sell my G&L L2000 as well as my Cirrus and buy a Fender/Lakland P and J bass Sell my G&L plus Cirrus plus rig and go to guitar or keyboard full time...or quit completely, which is the cowardly thing to do! Any advice appreciated, I have a great setup already although I lack effects and have little/no experience with them.

Wish mine tribby had a jazz neck, although the stingray-like neck is very comfy its only medium speed I guess. G&L every time...

Or is it secret?? I'm looking to shift my Cirrus for one

I had a Tokai P bass and Jazz before, both great value for money. Good build, I had no problems with the hardware but the pickups need changing.

Show it off to your mates lads!....show it off to your mates...

G&L L2000 + Genz Benz 750 + Genz Benz Neo 2x12. Match made in Heaven - pedals only ruin it for me
