I don't think there has been a Standard model built with 34" scale. IIRC all standards are 35". And unless you've found a used one, the Standard models are fixed pricing.

Having said that, Standards are fantastic values in my opinion. If I had the cash, I'd own at least one more.

sp, no worries man, we like seeing that photo wherever you choose to post it!!



I truly love a happy ending to a sad story - and this is a very happy one! Welcome back to the family! Don't be a stranger (but being strange is not only acceptable, it's required!).

Pick Up and Pre amp question

I am getting delivery of a 2005 SKB 3006 and it currently has the std pre and bart pu's. I was curious about the Nord pu's and Aguilar or Demeter pre. What would be the difference if I installed the pres with the barts and/or the pres with the Nords?

Thoughts....opinions....experience...thks guys

Pela, I'm sorry I can't really understand the question you have. Are you trying to assess the value of a bass you have, or trying to look into purchasing a bass?

If you are trying to sell a bass, you have to move this information to the classified section, as for sale posts are not allowed elsewhere on the forum.

Thanks!

Pela -

It sounds like you are looking for an LG Standard 4, as the LG 2000 series has been out of production for about 20 years.

Where are you located, so that I can recommend the best retailer to contact for help in getting more information?

There are currently some Roscoe 4 strings on Ebay. They are newer though.

^This.



The reality is that we have no control over used pricing, nor do we really keep track of what used instruments are selling for. I would suggest using any of the online sales outlets that are used for selling used basses, such as ebay, to research the value of the bass.

I'm happy to answer questions whenever possible, but beyond the retail pricing of new instruments, there really isn't a lot of information that we are aware of that cannot be found online by anyone looking.

Check Ebay completed auctions, and the classifieds here at Talkbass for starters.

I've got #4694 and it was made in May 2002. I don't know if Gard's got records much earlier than that.

Jon -

I believe I've already replied to you on Facebook, but will do so here as well.

It sounds like a minor wiring fault in the preamp, most likely either a loose or broken solder on one of the lugs of the bass control. It is actually a very simple matter to repair, and I believe your dealer can address it in a few moments. I would suggest getting in touch with Mark at Bass Direct, and he will arrange to address the issue.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with, and our apologies for the trouble - but this can happen from time to time during shipping.
