I've played this. It's very very nice

It's a guitar.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]I didn't know you played guitar![/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I don't really, I was given this and thought I would learn.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Have you got so good you're buying an awesome-shreadocaster?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Er what? guitarists talk funny[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]er... So why you putting it up for sale?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Well I play bass and would quite like money to buy a Thumb bass.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Can you tell us a bit more about it? [/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Sure. My aunt had it in her cupboard and thought it was a playstation controller. Before it was in her cupboard it seems to have been well played and had a recent fret dress. It plays well.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So can you tell us about it?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Well it was a model of Yamaha SG made in Japan for the european market in about 1985-86. It's not one of the cheap ones, but it's not one of their top of the range ones either. Mahogany body and neck, maple cap, rosewood fingerboard...[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So is it a Yamaha version of a Gibson SG?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]No, SG stands for Solid Guitar - if anything it's their version of a Les Paul, but with their own shape. [/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So does it sound like a les Paul?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Bob I'm a bass player, and put it through a little practice amp, I don't know. Actually when I was thinking about selling this before I went around the shops and played a load of guitars, it seemed to me that you would have to go over a grand for similar quality which is why I chose to keep it. I was most like the gibson les pauls, with a skinnier neck. Sound wise.... er humbucker type tone... .I don't know the differences! It sounds really nice on single coil mode too, a bit like a slightly fatter sounding tele on the bridge- again I'm a bass player so I have no confidence describing electric guitar comparisons. It sounds good though. [/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So what do you want for it?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I dunno, they don't come up for sale often. High end SG's go for thousands, the low end and tiwanese ones for a couple of hundred. How does £450 sound?[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]What about trades?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Try me - a nice bass of some kind? I have no money to throw in but have my Jazz bass (based on a Squier japan silver series body/alder body refinished by yours [/font][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]truly) as possible addition for the "right bass"- not jus' any ol' crap ken. [/font] [color=#008000][b][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Sounds good! Where is it?[/font][/b][/color] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]It's in leeds. Due to my crappy amp it may be easiest if I bring it to you and your amp locally.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]What if I don't live locally?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Live near a train station? Pay for my train ticket (return), I'll bring it to your door.... (within reason) [/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][b][color=#008000]Any other photos... [/color][/b][/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]yeah I'll stick them in the next post[/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][b][color=#008000]Are you going to bump your thread every hour?[/color][/b][/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]No, that would be unfair on everyone else wouldn't it- It's better to wait the requested 36 hours before bumping in order to keep Ped happy and give other folk a chance. I mean there are some great other basses on here - Gareth has a nice JV jazz, Greenking has a rathernice Yamaha TRB 4 string amongst others and Ashford1985 has a feeler out on a rather nice looking ACG, that I would like myself if I thought I could pull off a singlecut. [/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][b][color=#008000]But I'm impatient! I have this bass I want to sell. I don't have TIM to wait! [/color][/b][/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Well you should. It's just nicer that way.

I swear by these JVs mate, but I don't need another. I haven't broken a string in 4 years so no need for a backup! Good luck with the sale, your detailed post needs to go into the "how-to" section of basschat. All the best.[/color][/b] [/quote][/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Thanks again. I havn't broken a string since that unfortunate time I was using an electronic tuner and not thinking. E string went 'Ping' - luckily it wasn't this bass so no damage was done. Feel free to PM to say Hi even if you are resisting. It's always nice to talk to new people.[/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1355345735' post='1897306'] [size=4][b][color=#008000]Would never sell that baby, but then again Im clueless about Warwicks [/color][/b][/size] [/quote][/font] [font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]I am not sure if you are referring to the bass as 'baby' or me. Either way you may be right- maybe I will end up regretting selling this.
