    Sold my Dingwall Z1 to this fine fellow, he arranged for the bass to be picked up the same day and paid cash on collection, can't say fairer than that! Cheers mate!

    [quote name='shemeckfrac' timestamp='1397318121' post='2422778'] People may sell for lot's of reasons ... typically these types of questions are not asked on the main threat. Just PM the guy, otherwise you may be putting him in awkward position. [/quote] To be honest, I think it is a fair question to be asked on the thread It is a beautiful bass, love buckeye burl!

    Sure Op doesn't mind me posting a link to where he got it, some really nice pictures in the thread! http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fs-zon-sonus-todd-johnson-5-string-rare-woods-754674/ Very tempted by this?!

    The answer is Yes, and which basses they are differ for every person!

    It varies so much its crazy. I have had a pedal turn up from the US in a matter of days, not using the express service either. I used the express service last year, 3-5 days, took 2 weeks.

    Best thing to do is give Doug/Spencer an email. They are both excellent at sorting things out, be it advice or repair

    For clarity, this is the first version of the Bass Whammy, not the first version of the Whammy

    [quote name='Sercet' timestamp='1397070561' post='2420413'] Massive price drop to £1,690. I expect this to sell really quickly now. [/quote]

    I dunno, several LTD s have the twin j in the neck position, do they not? I imagine there would still be a noticabke difference.

    [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1396980686' post='2419449'] I know...but I really don't like the p-bass tone [/quote] Don't do it buddy, or if you must then please get it done by a pro as it is too beautiful a bass to mess up! The Twin J pickups are fantastic, though, and having two with coil taps on both would be awesome!

    In that case I'm out, but best of luck with the sale

    NEW bass whammy!!!

    Kev replied to GazWills's topic in Effects

    [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1396803599' post='2417499'] I tried one of these yesterday, and was really disappointed actually. Although I like the new harmony options, the chord mode just sounds a bit fake/digital to me and the classic mode does not react in the same way as my Whammy 1 at all! I usually use the octave or fifth up harmonies with a bit of delay for a really nice haunting, warbley sound, but this sounded really bad on the bass whammy! Keeping the Whammy 1 now and I'm not going to pick one of these up. Bit of a shame as this had me very excited :-(... [/quote] This is disappointing

    Just purchased these for my Dingwall, tried them on, preferred the steels so took them off again. They are cut for a Z1 (37inch with 2-3 winds so will fit any Dingwall. Standard scale 45-65-85-105-130 £26 posted, save yourself a few quid [color=#424242][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][center][color=#B71A15][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]PAYSON STRINGS[/size][/font][/color][/center][/size][/font][/color][color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3] [size=1] [/size]These strings were designed to sound good with your tone control as wide open as possible taking advantage of the pu's wide sonic range. The Stainless steel strings give maximum clarity on the high end and upper mids helping "cut" through the mix but also have excellent bass response. The Nickel string have greater lower mid and low end with smooth yet clear high end, the greater tension allows you to use a straighter neck and lower action.[/size][/font][/color][color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3] Compared to the La Bella's/R Coccos they have a little less tension with a more balanced feel from string to string.[/size][/font][/color]

    I'm not sure what problems you are experiencing matey, but I have just bumped your sales thread, perfectly visible to me! If you do have any problems though please do get in touch

    Is this not a thread for Gear Porn? Lovely looking instruments, although those left handed fanned fret instruments blow my mind!

    [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1396710250' post='2416666'] Regardless of the vintage of whatever Warwick basses you want to compare, the similarities between any Warwick basses and the classic Spector designs are superficial, at best. Just because some Warwicks look like Spectors, it doesn't necessarily follow that one brand will substitute for the other. Yes , the Streamer body shape that Warwick established themselves as a company on the back of is a direct rip- off from the NS design that belongs to Spector , but the different woods and manufacturing techniques used on Warwicks means they have always sounded very different to Spector basses. I personally think they both sound great in their own right ( despite never having owned either brand ) but you may prefer one over another according to your individual taste. To my ears, the classic Spector NS2 has an inherent low end heft coupled with an inherent crispness and edge to its' sound that is very appealing . Warwick basses sound a bit richer and more" woody ", but usually still with plenty of attack and extended high frequencies . [/quote] This about sums up the thread that is to come
