    I recently purchased a very lovely bass from Graham. He was a true gent throughout and dealt with my questions and messages promptly. He very kindly agreed to ship the bass to me and packed it beautifully! Thanks again for the smooth deal.

    Hey!! yeah we used a blow torch to get it as dark as possible then gave it a wash coat of black stain to even things out! Burning plus adding stain really seems to get it very black!! The key to that texture really is the wood though. That rippled ash has beautiful grain etc anyway even before burning.

    Hey man! this bass was actually burnt to achieve that colour / texture of grain 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    [quote name='markdavid' timestamp='1488674014' post='3251020'] That is some bigass neck on that bass , lovely looking bass though [/quote] It must just be the perspective of the photo, it's not a big neck at all

    [quote name='BigBearKris' timestamp='1426362751' post='2717403'] Hi all. I'm relatively new to bass so I wanted to ask fellow forum members about this guitar. [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/warwick-thumb-4-bolt-on-pre-owned/114284"]http://www.gak.co.uk...re-owned/114284[/url] Is that a good price for a good bass? Pros and cons? I'm mostly blues+rock player and I want a quality bass for practice. I owned a Sterling by MM sub Ray and quite liked it. I've played Warwick bass once but unfortunately cannot remember which model was it. I know You guys know Your stuff so it'd be great to hear your opinions. Kind regards [/quote] This looks like a great bass! I had a 1999 Thumb just like it! I much prefer the slimmer wenge (the GAK listing is wrong) necks they use to use back then. After 1999 they switched to ovangkol and for some reason completely changed the neck profile!

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1426265422' post='2716391'] Stunning indeed! I can only hope mine turns out that well [/quote] I'm pretty sure your claro will equal if not better chris's (if that's even possible! I love that bass)

    [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1420580855' post='2651012'] Howdy folks! Just wondered if anyone has any experiences of RMI basses they could share with me? I quite like the look of one, but it's a bit of an unknown quantity as I can't just go and try one out in the local shop. If you have/had one (or more), I'd be interested to know your thoughts. Ta.
