    Cheers buddy, if that Dolphin grows an extra string let me know! Guidance on trades, 5 string preferable and would be looking for a straight trade or cash my way really. Warwick, Dingwall, Roscoe, Sei and similar interest me would always prefer to meet than post but I do have a box . Bass also comes in a basically brand new Warwick hardcase.

    [s][b]£1600[/b][/s] [b]£1550[/b] Recently acquired this in a trade as an attempt at fretless, alas a heavily inebriated gentleman trying to get into his house at 3am would have an easier time of finding the key than I can on this! Specs as follows: [b]2007 Sei Flamboyant Fretless 5[/b] [b]Specs[/b] Body Style - Headed Flamboyant Offset 5 string Fretless Fingerboard - Ebony Neck - Flamed Maple with Purpleheart stringers Body Wood - Mahogany Facing Woods - Birdseye maple Circuit - Schack 18v Pickups - Nordstrand Fatstacks Veneer - Dark General Options - Blue side Leds - Tuning pegs slightly angled towards body - Strap button behind top horn - Semi Lined - Gold hardware - Full facing on front - Schaller straplocks - Carbon fibre rods A bass of fantastic quality, gorgeous neck and electronics package is fantastic. The bass has blue LEDs running down the side of the neck, not something I particularly look for in an instrument but a nice touch. Bar a little unavoidable string wear on the fingerboard, the bass is in A+ condition, a real stunner. Pictures do not do the birdseye maple justice. Cash sale £1600 ono. Will consider most trades, however I will not consider another fretless or any bass with less than 5 strings. Would prefer cash my way. Pictures courtesy of a previous owner, bass is in the same condition [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4056_zps615a6de2-Copy_zps2d35d64f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4095_zpsfa852cf0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4088_zps40780547.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4089_zps3071f8d4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4083_zpsd48eaf61.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4080_zps22e038b7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4071_zpsd4ad311e.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4087_zps81aae54b.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4077_zpsdefad971.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4081_zps6d8e16af.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4070_zps68ca3884.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4060_zpsf3db62bc.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4066_zps3e3604c3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4069_zpse75b0fea.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4062_zpse8bc1227.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4064_zps6b31bf37.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4055_zps745345c4.jpg.html"][/url]

    Fantastic price for a superb Warwick. John is a top bloke too! (in fact, both of them are ^^ )
  4. Kev
    Truly bizzare, as someone comments on Mark's facebook post, that is going to look a complete mess if used by a regular gigger!
  5. Kev
    I'll never understand why people make such a big deal about this bridge and feel the need to fit them as an 'upgrade'. Don't see the appeal and I certainly didn't fall in love with it when I had one on a Fender I used to own. Just a bridge, isn't it?

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1400525338' post='2454676'] Hey I'm thinking of ordering a bass from thomann because I can't find it locally. If I order one and don't like it, thomann have a no quibble return policy which is great. However, according to their faq if there's nothing wrong with the instrument i would need to pay the return shipping. Any idea how much it would cost to return a bass to Thomann? [/quote] Paying for your own return shipping is pretty standard in UK too from what I have seen, although I have never bought a new bass online! Too much of an unknown entity! Using interparcel and parcel2go will give you decent shipping costs, in my experience typicall 150%-200% the cost of posting a bass within the UK. Not a deal breaker I wouldn't have thought

    Thing is, this question is impossible to answer. There are so many pedals out there that sound very different with active basses, but sometimes it is a good different! There are not too many pedals out there that flat out don't work with actives, but that's half the fun of searching for the right fuzz!
  8. Kev
    This really must be one of the best sounding Warwicks ever made, you just don't get that tone without a heavy pieces of bubinga and wenge, amazing Wish I was still in a position to buy!

    [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1400059882' post='2450238'] I'm very keen to try the VMT now, though I'm not sure I need it...I got sick of the character of the B3K pretty quickly, tried a B7K as I thought the eq would give me the versatility I needed, but I realised that I just don't like the nagging (and rather unnatural) sound of either unit...It just sounded like Meshuggah or something, whatever bass I put through it! [/quote] Its amazing how peoples opinions differ. Every bass I have put through it sounds completely different! I find it incredibly sensitive to the signal going in, not in an active/passive way either. I just love it!
  10. Kev
    That's two VMTs that have sold in minutes! Crazy!
  11. Kev
    Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe they are Schaller? They look like the Gotoh type? Made in Japan too which fits!
  12. Kev
    Stunning! These basses really are in a class of their own, outstanding instruments.
  13. Kev
    Bargain! Cost of a Delano pickup and glock preamp alone would be most of the way there!
  14. Kev
    That is a stunning ACG!

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1399318236' post='2443124'] I thought they only ever sold direct? Anyway, here's the thread for you: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/iron-ether-status.1070657/ [/quote] No UK dealers, but several us ones, including prymaxevintage.com. Bought all mine from them bar the sub.
  16. Kev
    I have just acquired a wonderful Sei from Andy. Was patient with my decision process and all in all I think it has turned out to be a great deal! Cheers bud!
  17. Kev
    12v just gives it more headroom/less gain. I found it made the B7K and Vintage worse than with 9v, so I didn't try it again
  18. Kev
    That's a good buy mate, well done!
  19. Kev
    Anything less than 650-700 quid would be good for a fully working model, preamp should be an easy fix so anything less than those would be a decent deal! Spill, what did you pay?
  20. Kev
    Must be one of the last of the standard series Warwicks to have the original just-a-nut. Bargain if it plays well!
  21. Kev
    Not sure what is happening with their business model. I think all of the dealers they had dropped them, I believe due to a costing issue, and following this a new potential flagship pedal was released with a quite obvious flaw. A bit odd, but hope they get things sorted as they are cracking pedals.
  22. Kev
    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1399311643' post='2443025'] Relisted and sorted with no fuss. It appears if you don't opt for Int postage when listing, it isn't possible to amend! [/quote] Makes sense I do despise eBay. Fine to buy, but to sell it just seems to be getting worse and worse.
  23. Kev
    This bass is now traded, cheers for the interest y'all.
  24. Kev
    I didn't get added to the list but I did say I was going to pop over for this, however I'm guilty of not checking dates! I am up north with family all weekend so me and the Dingwall I wont be able to make it i'm afraid!
  25. Kev
    If you don't need to sell them financially, what is the motivation for a cull? You have four Seis so I cannot imagine there is much you are missing out on there, unless you intend to be a collector.
