  1. Hi guys, Not really looking for a sale as I still need a bass cab, but looking to downsize. This is a monster both in sound and size & weight. The one on the left in the images (the other is sold), it came to me recently and it didn't take long to figure out it won't fit in my A5 coupe and there's no room for it in my studio. The upside is it's an indestructible, awesome-sounding, cool-looking 8x10 (with adjustable horn). This is not a sound you can get from any other format. In full working condish. Alas, as the actress said to the Bishop, it's a bit too big for me. The "tweed" is tolex so will take more of a bashing than cloth but the only damage here so far is some slight discolouration. There are of course rear wheels and tiltback handles, but at 75ish kilos it's a 2-man lift on anything but a flat surface. Obviously this is a collection-only and you'll want at least an estate with the seats down. I'll give you a hand with it, natch. In exchange I'm after a smaller bass cab of similar value. Not too fussed what but good condition if possible and classic styling is always nice. It'll be a studio cab as well as live so a combination (2×10" & 1x15", e.g.) a definite plus. Try me.
  2. Serial is M131733-06 which I think makes it a 2006. Not sure what you mean by build spec.
  3. Hi guys, This is my 5-string $$ Streamer in Nirvana black. Ash body, flame maple neck, wenge fretboard. It sounds huge and plays fantastic. Unfortunately it's fairly road-worn as you will see from the images but other than that has no notable issues. Comes with the original Warwick Rockbag soft case. Collection preferred but open to shipping. All questions welcome. Also open to trades for telecasters or other guitars.
  4. Hi guys, I have a nearly new 2019 Warwick GPS Corvette 6 in Nirvana Black for sale. It has an ash body, ovangkol neck and wenge fretboard, and active electronics. It comes in the stock Rockbag gigbag. The only damage/wear are a couple of tiny scratches at the back. Bought new for £1500 about two months ago, and plays and sounds great, but it's not for me. Collection preferred but I'm happy to discuss shipping. Open to offers. Any questions please give me a shout. I will also consider trades for Telecasters and other guitars.
  5. [quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1455367371' post='2978461'] I don't want to sound ignorant - but can't you use your ears? [/quote] [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1455368207' post='2978470'] Yes, set to taste... there is no point to a centre indent if the sound doesn't do it for you. [/quote] Both very valid points. However I'm sure you'll agree that frequently in gig situations the monitoring isn't what it could be, and what is heard on stage isn't the same as what's heard FOH, so having a detente would be a useful reference point, especially for a control with such a pronounced effect on the tone. I have on a couple of occasions played half a set with the tone rolled all the way off, or only one pickup engaged, and not realised until I happened to reach for the control to tweak it (I'm also a lead singer so my focus isn't always 100% on the instrument). Because the EQ controls are all cut/boost it would make sense to me to have an "off" position on the pots (as there is on the bass and treble). I have opened it up and as far as I can tell it's all original. There's no evidence of any work done at all, I bought it from the original owner, and frankly he isn't the kind of guy to have stuff repaired (the bass spent most of its life gathering dust in storage with a busted string). It's an 02/03 model.
  6. That's what I thought... Does anyone have any ideas on how to address this? Assuming I don't just find a setting I like and tape it down, is there an easier method for addressing this than just replacing the pot with a centre-detented one? I'd be interested to hear from people who have a similar control setup on their basses as to how they use theirs when they play. I'm not much of a fiddler as a rule but it seems a shame to have such a versatile bass and not use it to its full potential.
  7. I'm sure the controls are original. The layout is: 1. Master volume. 2. Pan 3. Bass and treble boost/cut (stacked) 4. Mid boost/cut 2 and 3 are detented. 4 is not, which seems strange.
  8. Hey guys. I just bought a used MIM Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass from 2003 (the one with the Suhr pickups and preamp) and I have a question about the 3-band eq boost/cuts. The third knob is a stacked bass and treble, both of which are centre-detented, so no mystery there. However the fourth knob is the mid boost/cut as far as I know, but it isn't centre-detented, so "neutral" is a best guess at around halfway up. Is that right or am I missing something? If it is right, why isn't there a notch? Thanks for any help or advice you have for me.
  9. Yo! Just been advised my valuation is way too high (thanks Mr. Foxen) and am accordingly dropping this to amuch more realistic £450 ono. Trades for 5 (or 6 string fretted basses of equivalent value also. Thanks!
  10. Yo y'all, Got this here bass that I'm selling, easier if I give you the eBay listing for details: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320997339319 Based in Preston Lancs. There's another one going for like £845 on the 'bay, I don't think that's realistic, I'd be after £700 or nearish offer (very open to negotiation). I'd also be after trades for a real nice five string bass. Has to be five, apart from that it's pretty much WHY. Let me know!
  11. Pearl Jam. Ament used a fretless Wal fairly extensively I think. Although if you want to do Jeremy you'll also need a 12-string bass.
  12. [quote name='bassatnight' post='978100' date='Oct 5 2010, 11:13 AM']Folks, I sold a bass for some £600 on E-bay about three weeks ago and have the delivery confirmation from the courier along with E-mails from the buyer stating that he is enjoying playing the bass (all sent via E-Bay mail) this morning I have recieved a dispute from Pay-Pal that the buyer has not recieved the item and have subsequently deducted the £600 from my account. I have mailed the guy via E-Bay and by E-mail, I am obviously very concerned as I can ill afford to loose £600. Anyone got any advice, its seems Pay-Pal are uncontactable and thier assistance with disputes seems vague and unhelpful?????? A worried Steve!!![/quote] Try your absolute best to get in contact with PayPal. It may take some time but it'll be worth it. Last time I had this issue, I got in touch with their claims dept., explained everything and they sorted it. If you have delivery confirmation and an email from the buyer stating that he has received the bass, they should accept that and end the dispute.

  14. Ditto, that white P makes me feel all funny. What year is it?
