Loving the grain on that ash!

All the woods in one picture.

[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.

That's real pretty! Alan has the best cuts of wood for fretboards!

The suspense is *killing me. Auto correct changed that to "oiling". I wish I didn't notice to be honest.

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.

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!

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?

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

I'm another one who can't play with a plectrum. I wish I would but I just can't do it. I'm sloppy and get a sore wrist when I try to use a pick. bad technique? Most certainly.

Haven't played one but I am yet to hear a good comment about them.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1407264500' post='2519007'] He played this for two months or so, surely doesn't command this kind of price? He has also basically said in his little piece that this bass was only used because it sounded different from his other basses, so you won't sound like primus with this?! Crazy! [/quote] Wouldn't sound like Primus with any bass (unless you are Les) imo!

I'm half tempted to ask for more info to see what response I get.

I always take my phone everywhere but when I play a gig I always put it on flight mode. It's easier than turning the thing off then back on again.

Maybe worth sending warwick an email with the specs and they may know! Seems quite a unique streamer!

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1405973202' post='2507160'] Hi everyone! The plan for this has changed slightly.... It's not just the bass that is going on tour! It's us!! The two of us will be planning a trip (in a camper van) around the UK visting jam nights. gigs, guitar shops, even visiting you personally if you like!! This way you get to try more instruments and chat with us personally whilst having a brew or a beer! The dates and destinations still need to be worked out but we're really looking forward to it!! See you all soon! Cheers Chris [/quote] Sounds pretty brilliant really. Here's hoping you'll visit Scotland
