Just as an aside, does anyone know what strings Tributes use as standard?

Would have thought there was a Guitar Guitar in your area. That's where i've tried them all.

I did drive down to Bass Direct once to try out 5 stringers so if you are gonna spend a lot of money on a bass you really want to try them out and a day out might be worthwhile for you.

Guitar Guitar Birmingham or Newcastle look nearest to you.

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 😂

Ohhh, is there a NBD thread on the way then ? 😁

Not yet... 

But £100 off is a great deal.

Ohhh, they've dropped the price of the SB2 and Fallout as well. That's mighty tempting.....

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.

If it were the black version I'd be very tempted and probably wouldn't have shared the link 😉

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? 

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 

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! 

I used Montana Gold paint, mainly aimed at Graffitti/Street art but gave me a lovely matte colour. 

They do loads of colours, as well as sparkle coats etc and are reasonably cheap. 

Anyone got a guy who can do Anodized (or anodized style) scratchplate? 

I messaged Sims but that's coming out at £165...bit too steep for my liking! 

And as if by magic! 

Still enjoying it, currently got some Chromes on it but I'm not sure they are getting the most out of it for me. 

Are you in the market for a sparkly purple bass @CameronJ

Could be, if I can shift something in time I might take a punt on it. 

Just out of interest, what's the worst outcome of that crack? A massive portion of the finish just coming away? 

That does look good, but that crack is the entire length of the body. How does that even happen? 😂

Very tempting to move on my Bass Buddy for one of these. 

Best of luck with the sale! 

Just went to the local shop and tried one. 

That Sire in the corner of my room is on thin ice... 😅 

I have a white Vista which was my first bass sitting at my parents house being used sparingly by my dad for recording. 

Maybe I should go and collect it and see if it will scratch my itch for a P Bass 

I see there is another round of Squier Classic Vibe P basses out, has anyone tried one of these new versions? I am a sucker for that gold Pickguard... 

Since we have your attention. @Chownybassfancy doing a 32" SWB, or a 5 string version? 😬

Shell Pink. 

Because Pink.
