Play it in good health. I can feel and hear the shear excitement and enthusiasm in your posts.

I would love to hear it played. Although, I'm certain that it must sound as great as it looks. Congratulations on a terrific find.

Thank you for the welcome @Frank Blank Much appreciated. Have a wonderful Friday.

@uk_lefty The L-2000 that @jd56hawk owns looks pretty sleek as well. The Ibanez SR600E SR Standard Bass isn't too shabby either. A little out of my price range though. Thanks for the words of encouragement by the way. Much appreciated. Have a safe and wonderful Friday / weekend. Peter

No kidding.

Thank you @nilorius Great Friday to you as well and a wonderful weekend!

Both look fabulous. Thank you for chiming in @DougNiss Have an awesome weekend.

I could be wrong but I don't think the L-2000 is available anymore. No I stand corrected. I just located it here at a local dealer and sells for $999. My bad. Sorry about that. I noticed that you have placed dampers at the bridge location. Any reason in particular?

Thank you @Paolo85 Very inspiring

Thank you @itu Words of Wisdom. Much appreciated.

That is so funny. I have actually watched both of these YT videos when researching the Kiloton. It looks and sounds so sweet. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.

Thank you for chiming in @TheGreek much appreciated.

Thank you for the prompt response @Rayman. I have enjoyed bass players / sounds from a multitude of artists and genres spanning decades. So, it is difficult for me to narrow it down to just one or two sounds / styles that I enjoy. Used a bit strange in my neck of the woods. Especially, if you scour classified sites such as FB Marketplace and Kijiji. I came across a very clean (the seller described it as mint) Ibanez SR750. This model was discontinued in 2017 if I am not mistaken. The last retail price was new 899.00 CAD. The seller wants 900.00 and is located approx 2.5 hours from where I am located. So, that is out of the question on a couple of fronts. Another was selling the same model in "good" shape as the he described. Prepare youself for this one. He was asking $650 which I agreed to pay. I then receive a FB notification that he increased the asking price to $725. Obviously, he wasn't well. I really do NOT have time for that skullduggery. My apologies for the long-winded response by the way. Long story short. I will be focusing on new moving forward. I will definitely give your suggestions consideration. Finally, here is that $900 Ibanez SR750 that I mentioned above for anyone that is interested in what I was referring to. SR750

Good day all. I had posted something similar in another Bass forum and was wondering what the consensus would be here at Basschat. I will keep it as brief as possible. This would be my first bass. I mainly play guitar but have played some (little) bass a good number of years (decades) ago. After having been provided with some very worthy conrtenders I have compiled a short list. Budget: Somwehere in the vicinity of $800 - > $1000 CAD (Canadian) For some reason, I seem to have taken a liking to the G&L Kiloton Tribute for no particular reason. Admittedly, I have not even had a chance to hold it in my hands yet. As many have said one should always try out several instruments before making a final decision. I just have not had the time and energy to go retail shopping / hopping as of late. That being said I was hoping to get your input and guidance. That will be greatly appreciated. G&L Kiloton

Thank you @Reggaebass Have a great Wedensday. Peter

Thank you @snorkie635 Have a great Wedensday. Peter

Thank you @ezbass Have a great Wedensday. Peter

Thank you @Richard R I do see the small bell icon. And, I do see that I did have several notifications. However, I should have been more specific and asked how I could receive email notifications as well. It took me a minute but I have sorted that out. Profile settings if my memory serves me right. Have a great day. Peter

Thank you @msb You would make a great tour guide. I can do without the nightlife and restuarants though. We steer clear of those in our own city. Things have really gotten out of hand price-wise since "The Pandemic" I almost fell off my chair a few weeks ago when I was out with my brother and he suggested that we stop in for a little lunch at A&W. He was treating so I didn't want to sound like a jerk and say that I would rather not have junk food. Long story short. Two trios set us (him) back $35.00. We hope to get out your way in the not too distant future. The trip would be somewhat nostlagic for my wife who landed in NS as a little girl when she cam over from Europe with her Family. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you @msb and my aplogies for the late response. I assumed, as happens on other forums that I belong to, that I would have been notified of your reply. So funny. Just yesterday my wife was saying how she would like to visit Nova Scotia. We have both always lived in Montreal. I have basically had it with the city and the province's politics. Damned if you are an Anglophone. It is what it is I guess. No way out of the province for the time being. Who can afford Toronto or Vancouver. Oh, and even Ottawa is totally out of reach.

Thank you @SpondonBassed and my aplogies for the late response. I assumed, as happens on other forums that I belong to, that I would have been notified of your reply.

Hello from Montreal Canada. Thank you for having me. Not a full fledged bass player by any stretch of the imagination. But, have always been drawn to the instrument for some reason which has yet to present itself.
