Pestie Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hello to you all. I have recently joined Bass Chat after just taking up the bass. I am now totally obsessed and have aquired four lovely basses. [list=1] [*]Fender Mex Jazz [*]Gibson SG short scale [*]G&L Tribute L2000 [*]Squier Precision Bass Special [/list] Is there any hope for me, or does bass aquisition syndrome just get worse? Best wishes to you all Molecatcher Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi Mike, Welcome to BC from another noob. B.A.S. will not become worse, but since it will stay the same, you're in for a fast ride. See you again in a few years when you'll have acquired 834 of them. Careful with that signature, please! Don't forget B.A.S. also requires that you develop generic GAS, and buy pedals and amps ... and plectraiiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettsguitars Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ayup. Any relation to the leicester Vickerses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestie Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thank you all for my very nice welcome. Yes, I do seem to have aquired a lot of instruments in a short time, but that is what I seem to do and guess what? I have my eye on another so I will soon reach 834!!!!!!!!!! I am not one of the Leicestershire Vickers I don't think. I am one the Darlington Vickers who now lives in Oxfordshire. best Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debwilliams Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Morning Mike , welcome on board. Very encouraging to see you've started acquiring basses in healthy numbers. Keep at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestie Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Can anybody help me please? I have replied to a couple of ads but I haven't had any replies. How/where do I get access to the replies? Do they come to my e-mail or will they come back as an answer on the actual ad? Thank you, confused of Oxfordshire!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

PlungerModerno Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah.... It's kinda like gambling or collecting cars: Don't let it ruin your life. And make sure you have space for them. It'd suck to sleep on a pile of flight cases But I guess it's better than under a gig bag in the middle of a field (don't ask). Oh and welcome. This place is friendly .

It was a swap via the For Sale forum on this very site. In the short time i have had it i would say its quite incredible in terms of build quality and range of sounds. I had to go and find a video that explained what all the switches do. I am really looking forward to playing it and am taking it out gigging over the weekend.

Pestie Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hello Jerry Let me know how you get on with the L2000 after gigging it. I had to look at a video as well because I couldn't work it out. I am really new to the bass and found all of the switches confusing but think I have got them sorted now. I am just learning Mustang Sally and it seems to suit it very well. Enjoy your gig, thanks for your feedack and thanks to all you others who helped me out. I am not used to the site yet but I will get there.

BottomE Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Mike i had a real workout on the bass last night playing through some recording software. Knowing what the switches do really helps I am very impressed with the quality of the sounds on this bass. IMO they are pro-level. They remind me a bit of a Lakland that i once had. The PuPs are really powerful - had to watch the clipping on the input. One issue i have is the action - i need to do a couple of things on the truss rod. All the best Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pestie Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Nice one Jerry. I still haven't fully got to grips with mine yet, and, I am still a very beginning bass player, although a complete convert and really hope to get in a band one day. I am currently interested in a Fender USA P Bass Deluxe. Do you think it is worth spending the dosh on it or will the L-2000 do the job just as well. best wishes Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
