BassApprentice

Every time I hear someone talented play a fretless, I think I need one. Then I remember that I won't sound remotely like them and put that idea back in it's box 😅

I miss my 80's L2000 terribly. Was silly of me to sell it but that's life. It's baffling that G&L don't seem fussed about being in the UK market these days. Fantastic basses that offer something quite different from other brands and pretty competitive prices still. Maybe I'll pick up another in the future, but enjoy yours! It looks fantastic.

So a festival that's been going since 1970 has always been crap and has never had any music you might have liked. Fair enough 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every time I watch a big festival, I have to question why I don't like jazz basses, considering nearly every bass player will be using one.

Looks like a standard Les Paul bass

I don't use mine too often, can't remember the last time I charged it but even sitting dormant for a month or two it still has charge and no low battery warning. Sounds like the battery isn't actually being turned off, or just a naff battery in your one. Under warranty?

That kind of tracks with what others have said. I think the marketing is a bit off on these, putting them in the super polished range sets an expectation that Ian and La Bella were never really going for.

That's kind of what I've read on Talkbass. Still intrigued by others experiences, but apparently these are much more round than flat. Which kind of goes against the super polished tag line. Might not be a bad string, but maybe not what you're expecting when you buy them.

So the Acinonyx 5 is available next week....for $5,500. Wowza.

Not the best audio - but this is a demo of a Lull IMA4 with his strings on it. Sounds cool for camera only audio

Thank you for your service 🫡 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them!

And the VULF Compressor

I feel these I.R.A, PLEK and aging treatments may not necessarily sound "better" but give the bass that worn or played feel (a bit of given for ageing) Yes, a new bass feels and plays nicely - but I've found a bass feels better the longer you keep it and get used to it. This processes take the shiny new age off it and make it feel a bit more broken in. As with everything, some like it, some don't and some don't notice.
