  1. Looks like the bi-annual delivery from Mr Quan is in..... [url="http://www.allparts.com/Chrome-Leo-Quan-Badass-Bass-II-Bridge-p/bb-0335-010.htm"]http://www.allparts.com/Chrome-Leo-Quan-Ba...bb-0335-010.htm[/url] Now remember, boys and girls, you can only have 5 each
  2. [quote name='lemmywinks' post='1350069' date='Aug 24 2011, 11:13 AM']My Warmoth was lovely, faultless quality and stunning to look at. As mentiones, if you want Jazz width necks you have to specify, my Jazz had a thicker neck than i expected (still a breeze to play) and it was a common complaint. All sorted now though as they offer J spec necks. Also the steel rods can add a bit of weight to the neck. I had a Walnut body so it didn't affect balance but is you spec light ash or something then it might be an issue. One thing is for sure - you get stunning quality parts at what i consider to be a good price. Not the cheapest option but the choice is amazing.[/quote] I've got a bog standard Warmoth Jazz and it's bloody brilliant.
  3. [quote name='eubassix' post='1350012' date='Aug 24 2011, 10:28 AM']... really pleased to hear that, Trev ! Great to meet up with you in-person and hope the family enjoyed the day-out in Howarth. Sorry to hear about the minor nut problem - I'm not much a slapper/popper, so hadn't experienced that, but I'm sure Jon will sort it. Interesting reflection(s) on the strings (.. and the bass, overall).[/quote] ......yeah, I think I've actually had my first duff e-string from DR. I tried the same hi-beam set on my jazz and again, it sounded.....off. That's a first for DR (unlike Ernie Ball. At one point every other pack I was buying had a bum string).
  4. I sat and chatted with David in a hotel cark park (whilst taking delivery of an ACG) in Haworth and thouroughly enjoyed myself. The man knows his basses ;-) Lovely chap.
  5. [quote name='bigthumb' post='1347587' date='Aug 21 2011, 10:08 PM']I really hope you like it! [/quote] I do. I'm just working through it at the moment. Soundwise, we're in Active Jazz territory with potential Warwick leanings. I thought the neck pup postion would make it tight for slapping, but no. It's fine. Slaps like a demon. It needs the nut swapping out 'cos the G's bottoming out on the first fret when popping, and it's one of the few basses I've had that doesn't like DR's. I swear by DR Hi-beams and lo-riders, but this fella sings with Dean Markley Blue Steels. And Mr Shuker'll sort that nut out in no time (I might try a brass one). It looks the business and the Recurve shape is funky (it's a shade bigger than an MM sterling). It's not light, but it's well balanced. The build quality is excellent and the fret job is wonderfull (it takes a seriously low action if required). We're off to a good start
  6. [quote name='LukeFRC' post='1347391' date='Aug 21 2011, 07:11 PM']that is stunning[/quote] Nice. How much?

  11. [quote name='AlexKay1980' post='1345696' date='Aug 19 2011, 06:03 PM']Great link but the described price is for a light gauge set 40 - 60 - 80 - 100 without shipping. My prices [u]includes[/u] shipping and you'll get them at your doorstep.[/quote] No, the StringsDirect price includes UK shipping. And they usually have the other guages in stock.
