  1. Currently waiting for @Cuzzie to send me my Go To bass πŸ˜‰ In the meantime, mostly running things through my Yamaha BBP34/35. 😍
  2. I want to like them as my first Fender was a '51RE. Absolutely loved it but sold it on regretfully. A 32" '51 just won't be the same, perhaps a more 'clunky' sound? 🧐
  3. 30" / 32" / 34"... Although I'd say 35" is probably considered the "long scale" in basses.
  4. I want to like it but being the build I am and having hands like baseball mitts, I just don't think I'd get on with a short scale. On the other hand, I really love the design and only wish for G&L to release a 34" scale for us man apes πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Definitely seems like short scales are all the rage atm.
  5. Thanks bud, I'll give it a thought. Those pics though 😍 you're a wicked man πŸ˜‚
  6. How does the B sound for a 34" string thru? Beautiful looking bass and great price!
  7. Why do those frequencies work for you? Why are they better?
  8. Not saying you can't, anything is possible but I think anyone looking for an amp or cab aren't going to be looking at PA Monitors.
  9. "Amps and cabs" don't think you'll find anyone playing bass through them πŸ˜‚
  10. πŸ˜‚πŸ™ŒπŸ» This used to be mine, also @Gust0o Fantastic bass, as stated lightweight and sounds nothing short of amazing. I don't believe that's the original case though, as it was more 80's hot pink, than a crimson red.
  11. withdrawn - played it again and it's too good to go 😍
  12. Trades β€’ 35"/fanned fret 5 string bass β€’ Yamaha TRBX505 β€’ 4 or 5 string Musicman bass (MM USA Sub, Sterling Ray, Sterling S.U.B) β€’ Sire M2/7 5 string β€’ Ashdown OriginAL pedal β€’ EQ/DI pedal
  13. Great seller, super friendly. Buy here with confidence πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ»
  14. Oh god no! What have you started? I got you @CuzzieπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ The pickups in this G&L are actually pretty good in fairness but MFD... Nope! It's commonly known about Leo Fenders hearing loss and how he'd overwind pickups to compensate for it. Well made instruments, granted I've owned a few G&L guitars and basses but mentioning MFD's, I can only hold Cuz back so much before he lets loose πŸ˜‚
  15. Wow! Looks incredible but for that price point, I think I'd have to sell some body parts on the black market πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚
  16. On paper it speaks for itself as a quality item, I'd just hunt one down and try it in your own hands πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ»
  17. Gone! Sold via Facebook sales. Thanks to @AndyTravis and @Cuzzie for the kind words
  18. Sorry dude, from someone who plays 34"/35" basses, 32" is definitely short in my terms πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚but thanks for the correction buddy, I'll amend that now. Hope you're having a good weekend Mr Lowdown πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ»
  19. Location: Eastham, Wirral. NW, UK. Condition: Used, some minor wear. Reflected in price Price: Β£509 Β£485 inc UK mainland postage Trades accepted, Trade Value Β£500 see comment. Obtained this awesome bass earlier this year to go alongside my late Yamaha Attitude 25th Anniversary bass as a more functional gigging bass- however I never got to take it out of the house in the end but still sat proudly in my bass collection as a fascinating "one off" instrument. It's foundations are on a Fender Squier Classic Vibe 51 neck on a Fender Squier Mike Dirnt Pbass body (inc neckplate and pickguard) However it's been modded with some Hipshot HB10 tuning machines which are solid construction, quality tuners and a matching Hipshot BT7 D-Tuner. Fender American Deluxe bass bridge- grooved and plated brass saddles. Neck pickup: DiMarzio Will Powerβ„’ Neck Middle pickup: DiMarzio Model P Custom electronics: Volume for Will Powerβ„’ Neck pickup Stacked Volume and Tone for the Model P Middle pickup. An absolute rock solid bass in construction and sound: something not to be assumed for being a cheap alternative bass whilst armed with USA Hipshot and Fender hardware or sounding less than a Yamaha Billy Sheehan BB714BS with actual DiMarzio pickups and not Yamaha own made pickups and electronics.
  20. Location: Eastham, Wirral. NW, UK. Condition: Used, some minor wear. Reflected in price Price: Β£245 ovno. No trades. Delivery at buyers expense. Fantastic medium scale bass with a lot of tone variety from one single '51 style pickup. The bass is in immaculate condition other than some superficial paint chipping on the bottom rear side of the bass. Sustained by the previous owner but this reflected in the price. Specs: Body:Basswood Body Shape:Telecaster Bass Neck Shape:β€œC” Shape Number of Frets:20 Fret Size:Medium Jumbo Position Inlays:Black Dot Fretboard Radius:9.5β€³ (24.1 cm) Fretboard:Maple Neck Finish:Polyurethane Nut Width:1.7β€³ (43.2 mm) Scale Length:32β€³ (81.28 cm) Pickup Configuration:1 Single-Coil Pickup Middle Pickup:Duncan Designed PB-102 Single-Coil Middle Pickup Pickup Switching: Position 1: Special Tone Circuit- β€œBaritone” – (No Tone Control), Position 2: Modern Bass (Volume and Tone Control), Position 3: Special Tone Circuit – β€œDouble Bass” – (No Tone Control). Controls:Volume, Tone Hardware:ChromeBridge:2 Brass Barrel Saddles, Vintage Style Tuning Machines:Vintage Chrome Switch Tip:Barrel Style Switch Tip
