What to do when you find yourself a little 'bored' with Fenders?
Muzz replied to Musicman20's topic in Bass Guitars
Popped (275 mile round trip - some 'pop') down to Bass Direct at the weekend, and had the chance to try the BB2024X, and as a Precision/Ray fan, it really was THAT good. MASSIVE sound for a passive, and exemplary build quality. Really nice feel to the neck, and the quality just drips off it. If they made one with a maple board, I'd have very very bad GAS indeed, but I just don't like rosewood boards enough to covet one. With eyes closed, though, it was simply the best P-Bass I've ever played (and I've played a few over the ears). I'd recommend trying one, but only if you're prepared for a £2.5k GAS attack... -
Just had a very simple and straightforward sale with Tim - lots of comms, and a gent. Cheers mate!

Looks from any distance like a poor paint job. Plus, it's SO associated with VW that it's like some fivebellies walking round with a football shirt on with 'Ronaldo'* on the back. Screams 'fanboy wannabe'. Oooh, I'm grumpy this morning... * Substitute your favourite knuckle-dragging sporting millionaire chav here...

OK, it's sadly time to sell this guitar, as I've got things I need to buy. After my little lad knocked over and then fell on my (really nice) Arbiter Les Paul early last year, cracking the neck joint, I decided to buy myself the guitar I'd been gassing for forever - a Gordon Smith Explorer. Turns out these things are made to order, and by the time it arrived (it took 7 months to turn up) I'd begun gigging again with the bass, and it's sat in its gigbag ever since. Consequently, it's only been played in the house, and even then only a few times, and still has the protective plastic covers on the scratchplate and the back plates. It's in unmarked As New condition. The body is Brazilian Cedar, the neck is Brazilian Mahogany, the board is Rosewood, and it's a lovely example of handbuilt luthier work. It's got the optional tuneomatic bridge, and both GS humbuckers are coil tapped. There's a link to the webpage here: [url="http://www.gordonsmithguitars.co.uk/products/category.php?id=11"]http://www.gordonsmithguitars.co.uk/produc...egory.php?id=11[/url] If anyone needs any more pics, let me know. Cheers. [attachment=61425:DSC00624.jpg] [attachment=61426:DSC00625.jpg] [attachment=61427:DSC00627.jpg] [attachment=61428:DSC00626.jpg]

Sold a jetglo 1980 4001 for practically buttons (£250) to fund then-irresistible Pointy Bass GAS (well, it WAS the 80s) and bought an Aria ZZB Deluxe. Within a few months I'd compounded the error by selling my 75 Precision for a similar amount for a Washburn B20-8. Was there no end to my foolishness? Mind you, although both pointy things are long gone, I'd have the Washburn back again just for the novelty. Can't remember what I got for my SVT and 8x10, but it was comparitively beggar all, too... The only thing I have left from those days is my owned-from-new BB3000A, which I'm now considering selling. I may come to regret that in the future, too - it's so hard to tell without hindsight...

[quote name='4StringFortress' post='980173' date='Oct 7 2010, 07:56 AM']I have noticed that there are quite a few people on here that are very much into SX Basses. I currently own a SX Acoustic bass and i couldnt ask for anything better!. But i am looking for a P-bass and SX have been a brand i have been looking at alot. Can you still only buy them from the US? Or is there any dealers over here? Plus if anybody successfully modded an SX P-bass what were the results like?[/quote] I've got an SX P-bass, which I've modded with a Schaller 3D bridge and a Mighty Mite neck and it's one of the best P-basses I've ever played, period - and I'm a big P-bass fan, so I've owned/tried a lot of them. I sold my 08 US P-Bass and kept this one - it's the one in my sig - and it's my go-to bass these days. I bought it secondhand, though, and I've no idea where to buy SX gear new, or I'd be buying more of their stuff.

Ooooh, this looks nice (from a distance) - anyone know anything about them? [url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/bach-brbb-2-trd_p1036"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/bach-brbb-2-trd_p1036[/url] M

I shifted mine a while ago (before the New Age Of Austerity kicked in) for £250, which I thought was OK (and was what I'd paid for it).

With apologies to Crocodile Dundee, [i]that's[/i] not a lightweight 2x15...[i]the Schroeder 1515L[/i] is a lightweight 2x15... I like mine very much, and at about 40lbs, it does stairs, too... although if you're after the look of a trouser-enhancing 6ft bass stack behind you onstage, it might not be what you're after.

Think it all looks petulant and pointless, to be honest. But then I always did.

Not boasting, just stating. Although you're clearly the final word on 'tone and power', so I guess we'll go on kidding ourselves. Tee hee.
