    Got this bass around a month ago (if that) from this very parish but with a chance of a Dingwall AB1 on the horizon I'm not going to be needing two 5 stringers so I'm putting this up for sale/trade. Bass has got a fair few marks of wear and tear all of which I have tried to photograph to make them look as bad as I possibly could. Truth is, they're all cosmetic. As far as how the bass performs the answer is excellently! Has silver Warwick straplocks attached which will also come with the bass. Was strung up with Elixir Nanowebs the day I got it around a month ago so still really fresh.[b]Serial number:[/b] D-098930-03 [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Article number:[/b] 1215370100GDAFHOWW [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]produced:[/b] 2003-04-10[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Description:[/b] Streamer, 5-string Burgundy Red Oil finish Swamp Ash/AA Flamed Maple top body Ovangkol neck Gold hardware [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]U[size=3]nfo[/size][size=3]rtunately I don't have the handbook for this as I didn't get one with it.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1408703487' post='2532673'] IME this arrogance and disregard is typical of a lot of this current generation. It seems to go with a sense of "entitlement" they all seem to have. This follows in the jobs market too. They all want great jobs from day1. Plus it [i]has [/i]to be something they will enjoy every moment of every day, or they won't do it. I also have a step-daughter who's looking to move rented accommodation. She can't find anything she can afford, so somehow it's her Mum's responsibility to fork out the extra or house her AND the bf. Besides, they can't both go to their own respective families can they? Or maybe that's just the ones I know? [/quote] Funnily enough I am looking to move out and as I'm a student phoned student loans to see how my finances would be if I moved out and was told "you're under 25 so you're still dependant on your parents, we won't give you any extra help". Back on topic. I'm 20 years old and haven't played that many gigs (maybe 20) but I would never go to a gig without my bass. I don't own an amp/cab/combo so I always check there is one in the venue before hand. Regarding the overplaying, I realised about a year ago that I done this all the time and decided there and then it sounded bollocks and made me look like a right git. If I've ever borrowed gear I've always done what I can to show gratitude

    I've always preferred 5 stringers. Even when not using the extra string, the string spacing, neck size all just feel more at home. I say give in to temptation.
  6. Cameronj279
    I agree with Howie here although when the backing tracks weren't there I found it a pretty interesting watch/listen. Thanks for posting
  7. Cameronj279
    Really surprised this hasn't sold yet! I got one of these recently and they're brilliant sounding basses. GLWTS
  8. Cameronj279
    I was having a eerily similar conversation with someone earlier. We both came to the conclusion that we loved the tone but hated how clunky they felt to play. The body and neck of them are just too big for my liking. But at the same time, I find a jazz bass to be a bit too big!

    [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1408180552' post='2527817'] Anyone tried growing their nails, so that fingers sound like picks ? Doesn't work very well for me, I cant get the same or even similar sound from each finger. [/quote] Tried it once, found that I started laughing at myself at how bad it sounded. I've just started learning to use a pick after 4 years of just using my fingers. I find it really limiting in all honesty. It's harder for me to do any form of subtle playing with a pick. Luckily I would only be using it in metal.

    [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1408051969' post='2526743'] At that money talk to a luthier and get one made. [/quote] This. Discuss with them exactly what you want and for that money, you shouldn't have too much of a problem! The Warwick suggestion is good too I'd say. The Warwick Corvette I had until recently had a really 'dark' tone. If I wasn't so weak and it wasn't so heavy I wouldn't have considered selling it.
  13. Cameronj279
    That's real pretty! Alan has the best cuts of wood for fretboards!
  14. Cameronj279
    Possibly the only Coders I've found to be 'beautiful'. GLWTS!

    The suspense is *killing me. Auto correct changed that to "oiling". I wish I didn't notice to be honest.
  16. Cameronj279
    Went into the local one recently, saw an LTD 5 string bass, had heard good things (wasn't willing to pay the price they were asking). Looked at the neck just up by the nut and saw a massive crack all up the neck to the fretboard. Told the guy about it and he couldn't have looked more shocked, guess it was him that bought it! I imagine it would have been fixable but it would have probably cost more than the bass was worth.

    [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1407867296' post='2524904'] *I know I'll regret this! [/quote] At least send it to me first so I can have a go on a Dingwall I've hijacked this thread enough now though.
  18. Cameronj279
    I'm certain you'll regret this.
  19. Cameronj279
    It's a lot of money but it's also a hell of a lot of bass! Looks aren't exactly my style but the craftsmanship looks top notch!

    [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1407524564' post='2521534'] Yes it looks like its been posted with myhermes... [/quote] Ha!
  21. Cameronj279
    Always regret selling mine. good luck with the sale
  22. Cameronj279
    Saw a good number of actual MM Stingrays sell for not much more than that!

    editing my comment due to realising it does seem a wee bit iffy.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1407440583' post='2520640'] I mailed him asking to buy it saying I'd send a box and bubble wrap. I've had no answer. [/quote] Maybe thought you were one of the standard "send to my cousin in Nigeria" type folks?
  25. Cameronj279
    If I had a box to send it in I'd offer to go pick it up and send it out to whoever wanted it
