Thunderthumbs Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Try PMing "peety". He's got one (or two)......not sure if it's USA but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was gassing after a US one, but honestly the quality of his are so good I'm not sure there would be much point!! PS- I think he was considering moving one on (might be wrong though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Hi I used to have a 4-94 and have had my hands on a number of 44-02's The difference (IMHO) is not subtle..... I used to own a skyline BG, it was good, well made but something always felt like it was built to a budget. I'm after another 4-94 at the minute Edited September 5, 2008 by Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howver if I could find one at about 8.5lbs.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I had a US Glaub with and extra J pickup (factory fit) - not a single coil but a stacked humbucker - just like the P pickup - i believe they call it a linear humbucker. Anyway - gorgeous bass - neck was a dream to play with great fretwork - has graphite neck inserts that the Skylines don't have. To my ears you could play on the E and A strings well above the 12th fret and notes were still distinct and not at all fuzzy. Had all the P-bass attributes but with that extra humbucker you could add a nice edge to things if you wanted. I went mad and got rid of it as I wanted something more "aged" - have ordered a Nash 58 P-bass from the States - should arrive in the next few months I hope...... If you like P-basses you'll love a US Glaub. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest where did you order your Nash from? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_russ Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I've got a couple of laklands, a DJ5 and that villex modded Bob Glaub that was doing the rounds on here a couple of months ago. The BG is great - really good neck, the whole thing feels really well made. I'd love to use it more but I can't get away without a 5 so it only comes out for the odd practice It has turned on my interest for a P or PJ 5 string though R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Jon, Ordered from LowEnd basses in the States. Still hasn't arrived yet - production has slowed down to (i) Bill (Nash) being out of action for a several weeks due to a rather bad car accident and (ii) a bad batch of necks who's truss rods didn't work. Will post piccies no doubt if it ever arrives......... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
