[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.

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.

Depends on what speed the drummer decides to play em. Sometimes it's different speeds in the same song
-
I came to bass via the guitar so just carried on using a pick. After a couple of years I decided to go to the 'traditional' index/middle finger approach. I now do either depending on the song - fingers for mellower sounds, pick for attack.
-
Can I make a comment? Stop saying how heavy it is. That is going to put off a lot of potential buyers. Most bass players want a lighter bass so being told it's too heavy is just going to scare them off. GLWTS though.

If only I had the money. Have a bump anyway -
Manshed studio build **ADVICE ON INSULATION PLEASE**
6feet7 replied to Beedster's topic in General Discussion
Looking good. I'm about to do something similar for my work office (but there might have to be my gear in there too but I was going to add insulation (sound and temperature) on the outside, not thicker than the corner overhangs, then cover that with marine ply and reclad this with cheap, thin wood cladding. That way i still have the lovely wooden inside that wont be dead acoustically and, as long as I do the outside well, it shouldn't look too different. -
Many thanks for that. I'll have a look later All the best
-
That actually bought tears to my eyes

I'm near Uckfield. Brightons fine but Worthing and Horsham a bit far for regular stuff. I was in an originals band playing anything from indie to pop to rock but I'm a classic blues/rock lover really - root, 5th and octave (though I can't get enough of Rammstein at the moment .

BUMP

I remember reading an article about a repair on a 1959 Gibson Les Paul pickguard. A small chunk had been broken off so they got a new piece of identical material, cut out the exact shape and I think they somehow gently melted the bits together (I can't remember how but I think it was a soldering iron with a small piece of wire attached - one end to the solder and the other end between the two pieces of plastic - but don't quote me on that). They then spent ages with a razor blade smoothing off the join on the front and back till it was almost impossible to see the join. Might be worth a try?
