[quote name='6feet7' timestamp='1455653511' post='2981236'] Part-ex for a 1990/91 black Godin LR Baggs fretless semi hollow 4 string Acoustibass in Hiscox hard case fitted with new black nylon strings???? [/quote] -
I'm afraid not. Sorry Try me with a cash offer. I might even say yes

East Sussex - but I will be traveling up to York in a couple of weeks, so could pass by Nottingham and drop it off if you don't trust parcelforce

I did something a few years ago playing at the 4&20 Blackbird Festival in Weed, California (after first flying into Houston, then missing our connection to San Francisco and then almost crashing at SF when another plane taxied across our runway just as we were about to land. Going from 100 feet off the ground to a vertical climb in next to no time is an experience I don't want to do again in a hurry. Saw the bridge a second time though from the air). Jack Daniels seemed to be the thing that got us through. Especially if left in the car all day when it's 45 degrees C outside. Bit like a hot toddy but 10x stronger.

How much does it weigh?

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1457020010' post='2994530'] I say yes. I have the super cheap Gear 4 Music ones and the whole band use them. Much greater clarity of sound, much quieter so no hearing damage. No monitors to lug around and so fewer cables and clutter on stage. I'd possibly argue that a pub band's need is greater than a 'proper' band's as pub bands generally have less space hence poorer acoustic management and more noise pollution to contend with. [/quote] Do you have a link to the ones you use?

Hi Bassjim Your drummer isn't Kit is it? If it is you need em. He's loud (I used to be in a band with him, so I know

I'm afraid that's my issue too. As you say, this always seems to be the case Thanks anyway

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1456870529' post='2993169'] I'm in negotiations for a white Cruise. It's in pretty awful condition. Will cost me $600 plus taxes to get it here. I'm in two minds; £500 more or less, then factor in some kind of refinish. Hmmm. [/quote] Are they that good? Arnt there just as good basses out there that cost less?
-
This has been my second and love it, but have moved over to 5 strings so it has to go.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1456840531' post='2992754'] Warwickhunt used to have a 5 string green cruise bass... Should have bought it when he sold it. Would be on that like a flash if it came up for sale again [/quote] There's one on eBay at the moment.
-
Go on. Of course you do. Give me a sensible offer and it'll be flying down to you by tomorrow lunchtime

[quote name='Stance' timestamp='1456655548' post='2991017'] God, I just love theses basses! Have another bump on me! [/quote] Thanks for that. Do you love it enough to buy it though?

My Fender Rumble v3 500 combo lasted less than 3 minutes at bedroom volume before it packed up working. It was straight back to GAK for a refund. Put me off them forever. I've a secondhand Orange Terror Bass 500 and cab now and couldn't be happier.

[size=4]£55.00 Official Godin Hard Case, Made in Canada. Got case candy in it from a Multiac guitar. Bought from the USA by mistake - I was after a bass case. Used but not abused.

Message me if you want to know anything else.[/size] -
Actually, just forget the YOB bass and look at Simon Farmer's new GUS G5 basses. Far more your style.
-
How is it?
-
Just bought my Tokai Hardpuncher. Great guy who I would happily deal with again.
-
The Pro Tone's are supposed to be very very good guitars and basses. They were only made for a couple of years before Fender pulled the plug as they were taking sales from both Mexican and American made Fenders, they were so good. Korean made and supposedly with extremely good quality control and woods. Buy straight away if seen I've been told.
-
This has been my second and they are wonderful in sound and weight, but GAS has returned in the shape of the 5 string version, so it has to go.
-
I'll allow a week )))))
-
True. How about buy it anyway, I'll post it to you (cost shouldn't be more than £25.00 for you), if you don't like it just send it back?
-
I can post 'ooop north' Or anywhere else too

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]1990.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]This is a lovely resonant bass, a nice comfortable weight (6.5 lbs on my bathroom scales) and a great woody sound when amplified.
