Lew-Bass

They've just put a 400W Tiger head up for £399 if anyones interested

Scored the 210 combo! Over the f**king moon! Edit: Just had a call from them 5 minutes after the order went through. Should be with me before half 5 tomorrow evening, great customer service

[quote name='RussFM' post='638640' date='Oct 27 2009, 11:38 PM']It's £1400 on Bass Direct and GAK yep![/quote] Jeez! Gonna be ringing up at 10am on the dot for this one I think. I just hope that the site automatically updates itself once an order is made and there really is '+4' left in stock!

Maybe someone would be up for a trade on the 210 and 212 combos in the future . Think I'm gonna pull the trigger on the 210 combo, epic pricing. Would it really go for £1400 new? I know it says RRP but how often do you see companies bump that up to make it look a better discount

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='638603' date='Oct 27 2009, 11:05 PM']From the sounds of it, that's all the stock there is... I would have loved a combo, but I've got the Walkabout Scout. Don't need one.... still want one, though. [/quote] Ah let's hope not.. if not, I'll have to settle for the 210. Still a great deal but I have a feeling that 12's would better suit my sound, and at only 1kg more weight, it'd be ideal EDIT: Just thinking, would there be THAT much difference between a 212 and a 210 cab?

Will the 2x12 combos be at the same price when they get more stock in?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='637456' date='Oct 26 2009, 10:38 PM']Bass player from Elliot Minor posts on here.[/quote] Ah yeah, forgot about him. He's probably the most famous currently then

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='637243' date='Oct 26 2009, 07:37 PM']Yes, [b]there are a few members[/b] but they tend to be a little busy (touring) so don't post much unless they have gear to sell and they also have tended to be discouraged by people slagging them off. A couple have had it coming, but more often than not I think the crit has been pretty unfair in the past. BTW anyone remember Jimmy Sims from the Bass Centre years ago? He's just started touring with Mika and was on the Letterman show last week. The boy done good. I've also invited Nick Fyffe and Randy Hope-Taylor to drop by and say hi, I know they browse but haven't signed up yet.[/quote] Who are they, if you don't mind me asking?

I thought I should start a new thread as I was about to describe my bass of the moment then realised it was actually just an idea that I had, so thought it was maybe worthy of a new thread. There was a similar one that died over a year ago about what your 'signature' bass would be, but personally that implies the bass would suit your personality too and I'm purely on about aesthetics and sound here. So.. what's your ideal custom bass? Include as much, or as little, detail as you like Currently mine is; Body Shape: Standard P-Bass Body Body Wood: Alder Finish: 'Heavy Relic'd' Sonic Blue finish, matching headstock Neck: Maple Jazz Neck (Vintage Tint & Satin Finish) Scale Length: 33" (After reading it's much more comfortable whilst only sacrificing minimal amounts tonally) Fingerboard: Maple Frets: 21 Fret Markers: Black Dot Markers with Light Blue/Pink LEDs Electronics: Rear routed 3-EQ cut/boost active circuit (Vol/Bass, Mid/Treble stacked), LED on/low/off switch Pickguard: Pink Paisley Hardware: Chrome Would only really suit a certain type of gig though, so when I plan to get this spec made up for me in the future, I might wait until I have more of a workhorse bass first!

I think I've just found my new favourite bass line

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='504230' date='Jun 2 2009, 09:27 PM']I have a KBA-16 COMBO. I got it when I part exchanged my old peavey TNT combo (that peavey was so crap) Anyway this Kusto is good, and loud and handles 5 string ok too. [b] I think a metal bass player (Trivium??) has an endorsement with Kustom, so they can't be too bad.. [/b][/quote] The bassist out of As Blood Runs Black is endorsed by them. Good player too.

Is that the Limited Edition 'Heartrate' series with the custom fretlines?

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='627950' date='Oct 16 2009, 03:04 PM']Updated it with what should be the final spec, just got to decide on whether to get something on the 12th block inlay or not.[/quote] One orange LED

BUMP to save starting a new thread. Which amp would be better; the Gallien-Krueger 1001 RB-II or the MarkBass LMII (the 2008 special edition one, but that's aesthetics)? Really need some opinions as I've got the opportunity of either one and I'm torn currently

Had a look and as far as I can see it's just too expensive, even harder with being a lefty. Ibanez SR500 in December ahoy

[quote name='mike257' post='627646' date='Oct 16 2009, 10:49 AM']What have you got Lew? I've got a screwdriver and a soldering iron. I'll have to go the offy for us though, you'd have no chance in my local [/quote] Nothing as of yet Mike, I was just contemplating it as a next bass instead of buying a stock one. I'd only have a budget of £[b]<[/b]500 therefore a full-blown luthier job would be out of the question. I also wouldn't trust myself with anything like this, so that's how the idea came about. I'll have to price it all up but I reckon if I bought sensibly second-hand I'd be able to get a pretty decent bass for my money. P.S. I'd only let you go the offy afterwards, a drunk and a soldering iron don't sound too good to me!!! [quote name='skankdelvar' post='627824' date='Oct 16 2009, 01:07 PM']I'm sure most jobbing luthiers would take the project on board. Cost? Depends on the luthier's rates, but I wouldn't imagine any less than £75 -£100 at the very least, given it's a build [i]and [/i]a set-up. The other guys are right - DIY or post to see if someone here can help, indicating your location.[/quote] Thanks mate. I'm based in Liverpool for anyone reading this

You got all of the parts needed to be assembled to create a bass guitar, how much would a luthier realistically charge to put it all together? And would they actually do this?
