    Bump, still available. Open to offers, trades for something Jazz shaped, or maybe a telecaster. Could also add my 32" Aria (see other thread) to increase value...

    Still available. Open to offers and/or trades - got a (six string) telecaster hankering right now (I know, I know) or maybe something Jazz shaped...

    To be fair to them, some weirdos would complain if they did. They want a brand-new one unsullied by human contact. I've heard first-hand reports of people going to shops, trying instruments, then insisting on taking a factory-fresh still sealed one home with them instead of the one they actually tried out. Its bizarre behaviour but I bet its more common than you'd think.

    Still available. Will consider offers and/or trades - jazz basses or steinberger cricket bat efforts both of interest

    Are you going to use the amp sims? Because if not the Helix FX might be a better idea.
  16. uncle psychosis

    Don't really want to sell this but I've finally accepted that when I think "bass" I think "passive Fender" and I can't justify keeping this one, as good as it is. Bought brand new by me circa 2014. I believe that the Tribute M-2000 has been discontinued by G&L and from what I can see this finish was one of the harder to find ones. £350 seems a sensible starting point given the cost when new, as well as the silly priced ones I've seen elsewhere. G&L M-2000 Tribute GTS TB - bit of a mouthfull, but essentially its a Tribute M-2000, in a lovely translucent black finish (a nightmare to photograph ), with top-binding as well as a lovely carved/shaped top a bit like you get on Fender aerodyne models. Black headstock. The electronics are seriously powerful - an active preamp (unlike the L2000 there is no passive mode), with volume, pan, and 3-band boost/cut EQ with centre detents. Two humbucking MFD pickups. There's a lot of sounds in here but the controls are very simple to understand. 34" bolt-on neck. Neck is really nice, smaller than the baseball bat you get on the L2000. Currently strung with some fender roundwounds that have hardly been played. I would really rather not post this, so collection from Burntisland, Fife - or can potentially meet in/around the West End of Edinburgh during the week. If you really want it and you're not local then I might be able to find a box and arrange a courier at cost. Hit me up if you're interested. Complete photo gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/Qnaj9kd (I really don't "want" trades - but would potentially be interested in something jazz / jaguar flavoured with either 4 or 5 strings, part-ex against some Smallsound/Bigsound pedals - TAFM or F*ck overdrive, or maybe a micro/mini bass amp head)

    So, stupid story. I thought I'd lost a strap. Turns out I hadn't lost a strap. In the meantime I bought this: https://www.rightonstraps.com/en/mojo-collection-sandokan-black-strap.html Nice strap, 100% vegan if that's your thing. Still got the tags on, wore it for like two minutes tops. £20 posted. ***sold***
  21. uncle psychosis
    Like you I thought these *looked* great but never played one. Interested to hear opinions.
  22. uncle psychosis
    I really shouldn't but would consider a jazz / five string in trade...

    Plus - let's be honest here - these basses from the sixties that we all (including myself) lust over were mass produced in a factory. Wood selection was based on economics, not artistry.
  24. uncle psychosis
    People make stringed instruments out of plastic, resin, even concrete and they all sound good. People completely overstate the importance of body material on electric instruments.
  25. uncle psychosis
    Musical instruments must be one of the only "technologies" out there that have people genuinely trying to argue that we've got worse at building over the years. What logical reason would tell anyone that an instrument made in a factory in the sixties (or even by a "master craftsman") would be any better than any high end modern bass, built with the benefit of an additional 70+ years of understanding? Vintage instruments are cool as anything. They have mojo. I get it. Some of them are really very good indeed. But if you don't really care about history, mojo, or collectibility then the price tag is unjustifiable. The value comes from rarity, not from intrinsic quality.
