    I really hope this works. I just can't see it, and the price is too high for it not to be good enough, considering the retail price of the DI. In fact, the price is very high, when you consider DI was selling for £80 odd street at the end. Can't mark up due to rarity factor of the original! Digitech got that right with the bass whammy.

    High Gloss is a custom option for all Warwick master built instruments, and I believe is standard on some of the cheaper Rockbass instruments (used to be on the older Pro Series basses as well?). Strictly speaking, the Masterbuilt German models are all custom order now, so its just a finish option in addition to their natural oil and coloured oil finishes.

    [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1446818630' post='2902624'] Probably, as long as I decide that I can cope with 6 strings. Might even take it to the Copper Pot in Leamington Spa on New Years Eve for Kev to lust at [/quote] Ha! Out of interest, why the copper pot??

    I'd be quite interested in buying the Dingwall Case from you...

    Suddenly my yellow NG-2 looks quite subtle! haha Nice work though bud, certainly a transformation.

    It is a great price, and for those who wonder, this is a 2009 model and as such the neck will be back in its slim form after the [mostly] baseball bats from the previous 9 years

    Most of it sounds like Fender QC, to be honest, but the bass is certainly not as described, hopefully paypal will have your back.

    Nice price for no doubt a top quality bass

    Out of interest, what is it about the natural finish you didn't like? I personally love the natural finish and how you can easily maintain its appearance, as opposed a gloss finish which can look quite scratched and battered after being on the road with no easy fix. Tub of beeswax, cloth, elbow grease and you're away!

    Bargain for the hottest compressor on the market!!

    There is no set rule on what scale length is right for a B string. I have never noticed much of a difference between the 33", 34" and 35" basses I have had. Worst B I have encountered was a Peavey 35". What I don't like is the feel of a D and G (and C on 6 strings) on a 35inch or more scale. For me, Dingwall get it spot on with the multi scale lengths for string balance, but the first position is not the most comfortable at all. Generally, if you discount Fanned frets, for me the best balance comes from 34" and I have chose that scale length for my Alpher build as a result It's all subjective what is best, however to say the longer the better as a general rule is wrong

    http://www.kerrang.com/37510/good-tiger-stream-new-album-a-head-full-of-moonlight/ I really dig this! They are supporting Periphery on their tour this month so looking forward to seeing them.

    Ha. I tried to buy that instrument from Tom for years and he kept finding an excuse not to sell it to me, or just ignoring my emails! How did you get it off him? Give me a shout if you decide it isn't for you!
  17. Kev
    Did you still have the Kalium strings? I'll take what you have if so Kev

    Perhaps I am biased, but the Alpher single cut design all the way for me

    Kev replied to Flex's topic in Basses For Sale

    I have just decided that I cannot let mine go. For £1,100, it is just too good. Seriously, ignore where it is made, this bass is equal to the Canadian Afterburner models - in fact for me due to the pickups and preamp config it is better than the standard afterburners. The only Dingwalls I would consider looking at over this is the AB1 5/3, Z2 and Z3 models, and they all start at some way over double the new cost of this bass. Buy it, you won't regret it.

    [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1446301096' post='2898456'] and I thought my GAS was bad Kev! I think the medical term is Impulse Control Disorder, if you are reading this you probably have it too. Har har de har :twisted: [/quote] Haha!

    Passive as indicated in the spec list Something new to me, having never played a passive Warwick before (most Warwicks have active pickups so are never truly passive, despite the active/passive switch!). It really does allow the sound of wood to come out

    Very recently purchased off this here parish on a whim, no idea why as I just don't play 4 string instruments anymore! This is a stunning example of a corvette, really wonderful condition with a lovely bubinga body and figured wenge neck, very slim and fast. A wonderful example that has been really well looked after. Has the added bonus of brand new black Warwick hardware. The Just-a nut II still has its side tabs in tact, which Warwick owners will know is quite an achievement! Those who know me know that I have had previously owned over a dozen Warwicks, most being older NT types, and this more than holds its own. Specs: Bass: Corvette Standard 4 string Bass Serial Number: ******98 Year: 1998 Neck Wood: 3 pcs. Wenge Wood with contrasting figures Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut II Tedur Version Neck construction: Bolt-On Body: 2 pcs. Bubinga Surface: Oil Finish Pickups: EMG Passive Dynamic Correction Electronic: Passive Electronics Hardware: Warwick Black Hardware Comes with a padded Fender gig bag and a Levis strap with the strap locks. Pictures: Looking for £450 collected in Leamington Spa or delivered by me at a reasonable distance. Shipping would be extra and can be quoted as required. No trades please. Cheers!

    No picture updates worth posting at the moment, however she is not far away from completion now. Ziricote Knobs are carved, Nordstrand/Dingwall hybrid electronics are almost ready to be installed and a few more coats of oil and we are there!
  25. Kev
