Stag

Im also in the market for one of these cases, for.... erm.... a Les Paul bass. but one of the old ones. So if anyone has info about what case would fit them as well id be all ears! Class avatar as well Gareth!

+1 for PMT in Norwich. Always been good for me. Cookes is good as well but they never seem to have the stuff I want... although they now have a yummy 70's Precision at the moment.

What an awesome collection! Just missing a Gibbo... (ahtough I guess they pribably dont fit in with the rest!). I too love that finish on that Spector.

Evening chaps... Jigs : ill try and answer this! Tonally, youve got the two humbuckers, which are absolutely fantastic. With the neck one on only, and the tone whupped down to position switch you get that phat EB tone. A little bit of fuzz and you can nail the Mr Bruce (hero) tone. You can also get a really middly sound by having both on but lowering the bass pickup volume. The only place it doesnt really deliver is at the bridge - you will not get a twangy P-sound, well, cos it aint a P-Bass. Although with new short scale strings on it, it does a passable impression. Also, it has that very nice ability to go into "recording" signal so the sound is totally flat for pushing into a desk. For more info on the sheer amount of knobs 'n stuff on this bass good reading can be had at [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/LesPaulTriumph.php"]http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/LesPaulTriumph.php[/url] - very handy. OTPJ : thank you for your comments! It does indeed have 24 frets, but that cutaway doesnt exactly make the ends ones accessible. If I ever get my watch synchronised with Dood I shall attend one of these here Bass Bashes with the Gibbo and we can all have a twang on it. It is super easy to play, abeit a little on the heavy side! Stingray5 : me too - I never really went for the LP look at all, I had two bass heroes in my youth, Cliff Burton and Jack Bruce- I had to play either a Ric or an EB3 because they did (isnt that how we all start?). So I had a bit of a decision to make when I finally got a bit of capital. I went for was a Ric - two reasons really, Ric's were far more available in the mid 90's (not like now!!!!) and EB's were rather expensive. And BTW that is a beauty of a TB Shaggy, I dont normally go on those but mmmmm, thats nice!

Grunt. 450w of solid state Ampeg into an SVT 6x10. Love it.

OK... if it is porn you want, porn you shall have. '72 Les Paul Bass. Plays like an absolute dream, id always wanted an EB3 but the shop I went in had an EB3 and the LP in at the same time. I walked out with the LP as I fell in love with the look of it, and it has so many more tones possible than the EB. The last couple are piccies of my good self using the weapon in action.

If you can pick up a Musicmaster secondhand they are great for practices. Light but sounds very nice through a big rig (should your practice place be equipped with one)

If anyone wants a very nice '73 in SB with black scratchplate there is one in Cookes Music in Norwich. Very pleasant and distinctly non heavy, only a teensy bit more heavy than my 2009. I played a 76' down Denmark Street somewhere recently and that was similar to having the USS Nimitz strapped round my neck.

Precision for me. Gets pretty much any tone you want from phat to clank with one volume and a tone knob.

Knights Of Cydonia (as was tabbing it out for someone else). Good fun to play indeed

no-one has mentioned the new Zender Sig model? That looks v sexy IMO, but the price is a little daft for a 4 string bass. Promised myself a Warwick when I reach 40, so only 10 yrs to go! haha!

[quote name='leschirons' post='717246' date='Jan 18 2010, 10:18 PM']Great playing, but considering his stage attire and presence AND that bass, I find myself strangely sidetracked by the guy in the nappie.[/quote] +1 to the nappy guy.

Cliff Burton's fuzzwah neo-classical stuff for me

The new MIA Standard 4's are amazing. Great build quality and loads of improvements on the last lot (IMO) - the sound of mine has "changed the whole band sound" according to much of the audience! You wont go wrong with one... highly recommend

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='700219' date='Jan 4 2010, 08:53 AM']Like this April 1979 example? Thinking of moving this on if anybody interested...[/quote] Thats an absolute beauty. I think my horn for them is due to a certain Mr C Burton. Would absolutely love it but given I already have one (albeit in the wrong colour) and spent out on a new P-Bass 2 months ago I cannot afford (or justify!) another bass
