First off, these aren't my basses but man, Reverend have got it rough this time. Especially on a limited colour run... https://www.instagram.com/reel/CXbOwOSAoSV/?utm_medium=copy_link

Could be an expensive experiment if I do get one of these basses. A couple for sale near me for £700-800 which seems good value overall
-
To owners of these and for those who have used La Bella Nylon Tapes. Could you use them with this bass? A very niche request I know..
-
I think this is it for me, I have no idea where to start! I don't think I want to go in at the Performer range. Now I've looked a bit more, there the NS Ethos range at £1.5k. But can't find many reviews of the 5 string version, just the 4. So many choices!

Been having a wee nosey at Spectors recently as I'm just not getting on with my Sire. I played a Euro in a shop a while back and liked how straightforward the controls were. Question is, how are the Legends in comparison? Seems you either buy the Legend or go full Euro and that's a BIG price difference! Ive tried looking for videos but unfortunately most of the them are focused around metal and distortion which I don't really do... 😅

I do always keep an eye out for the BBG5 as they get a great rep. Not a huge fan of the blue colour on that one though. If others could keep their eyes peeled and pass me on any they come across that would be ideal!
-
I know Squier have made some very good basses and I know that sometimes they don't last for long, but surely they can't now be worth 4x the original price?! Absolutely bizarre
-
Just pull down your G-string..... 😅
-
Nice! Think it's this one for those looking for more info on https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0027-harlot-6/

I've had the Andertons page for this very bass open since last Friday hoping that the offer will end and the temptation goes away 😂 Looks great!
-
Just as an aside, does anyone know what strings Tributes use as standard?
-
It's a real shame that the bass section in GG Glasgow has slipped after Paul (I think) left. He had all the Sandberg and Dingwalls and other interesting stuff in. Now it's back to Fenders, Ibanez and MusicMans with a sprinkling of others.
-
Genuinely had to do a double take that G&L hadn't made and Attitude bass 😂
-
Not yet... But £100 off is a great deal.
-
Oh....I was planning on waiting until something else had moved on. Erm. Damn.
-
Genuinely not sure if the seller has put zeroes in the wrong place or if Brexit really has taken effect 😅
-
That's a looker! I can't think of another brand that can offer such great designs in both modern and classic looks.
-
Watched two videos on the SB-2 and Kiloton from Ivan the bassist on YouTube. Very straightforward reviews and I think I'm sold on the SB-2. I'm sure the Kiloton is great, but think the SB-2 offers the tone I am currently looking for.
-
That's the only thing holding me back. Quite tempted by the one @Shepster8316has for sale too. Would need to get a darker scratchplate though.

Did a bit of a shootout in the local guitar shops today. G&L Tribute SB-2 vs Squier CV 50s vs Sterling Stingray vs Sadowsky Metro Express vs Reverend Sentinel The G&L was by far my favourite, neck just felt right and even the different controls weren't too unfamiliar. I've previously had an L2000 and I do miss it but it was a bit fiddly, and I'm finding my current Sire the same. I want something more straightforward, should I look at the LB100? Or even a used L1000?

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Cross posting from the Sandberg thread, but thought others here would like this -
Me: Maybe I'll be get a nice short scale, that Reverend Sentinel looks good but I do like a bridge pickup. Sandberg: We got you

NBD - Squier CV Late 50's Precision Bass
BassApprentice replied to classamin's topic in Bass Guitars
I've been eyeing these up, even tried one in a shop and it was really cool. Can't decide if I should wait until something has sold or just utilise the Credit Card 🤔😂 -
This is far too close to me and my wallet. Looks ace!
