Members Thunderbroom Posted July 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Since the G&L is apparently a no-go with the ebony-only board, it may be time for a Warmoth when I'm ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted July 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Get yourself a Peterson strobe tuner...you WILL Thank me later. I've been considering getting one of these. Is this a tuner that would be easy to read in direct sunlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at my house in fact. I liked it, but can't see owning one personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bnyswonger should be able to tell you the answer for that. * sun behind you reflected/glaring into the readout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a huge issue with me as my basses tend to stay in tune pretty well. I just hate not being able to see my tuner clearly when playing outdoor gigs.

You mean for a rack mount? i think Bob will be able to give you the lowdown. I ordered the Strobo Flip so i can pass it around during warm up. My basses are like yours, stay in tune for days actually, it's those skinny stringers that have to retune after every song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean pedal tuner. I've got a rackmount Korg that I sometimes use depending on which head I use, but it's difficult to see in daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bpocall Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Since the G&L is apparently a no-go with the ebony-only board, it may be time for a Warmoth when I'm ready. Warmoth has some damn nice stuff, but for as long as you've been talking about getting an ASAT I think you ought to call G&L and see if they can't be persuaded to make you what you want Jeff.

Members catphish Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I know you've been eyeing that ASAT for a good long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fran da Man Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Thats a good question Thunder, i'd like to read an answer myself. Peterson forum doesn't have anything listed along those lines for the Stomp. http://www.petersontuners.com/index.cfm?category=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted July 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I know you've been eyeing that ASAT for a good long time now. If I can't get it with a fretless maple board, then I don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members justinbass Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 If I had $1800 to put into gear, I'd get a LeCompte. Although I have to agree, that G&L sounds ideal. You are planning to get a matching headstock, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are planning to get a matching headstock, no? Matching headstock? Maybe. With a natural finish, the headstock should look kinda similar anyway. I asked Bud for a quote on a bass similar to an ASAT. He just got back to me and said he doesn't do Fender clones. I thought he did based on this: http://www.lecomptebass.com/specials/fretlessp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitargod0dmw Posted July 11, 2007 Members Share Posted July 11, 2007 I like the ING savings account idea best as well. If you're not 100% yet, you might as well make that money work for you to get more of it!!! Other suggestions: I want an NYC Sadowsky 5 string. Not sure exactly what options/colors I want, but they are damn nice basses. Try one out... Recording Equipment?Upright? More of an acoustic one instead of the electric...Lots of replenishable items like strings and cables. Backups for the backups... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonathan_matos5 Posted July 11, 2007 Members Share Posted July 11, 2007 you could buy yourself a new genz benz rig and give me your old one or better yet just send me the new one:idea: hey you said spend it you didnt say tell me what to buy myself:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Incubitabus Posted July 11, 2007 Members Share Posted July 11, 2007 I won't pay for my own kids' college. G&L has been weird lately. They called us on a custom order and told us they were out of Gold hardware for guitards. They have some major issues with their supplier...
