  1. [quote name='Byo' timestamp='1435230835' post='2806707'] Does anyone know if Warwick sell replacement necks? This could make a great bitsa at an affordable price (if Warwick's necks are affordable). [/quote] Enquiry made with Warwick. Somehow I've got my doubts about this being affordable against buying a used Corvette.
  2. Fact 2 is also true of Overwaters, so I heard. I have heard that someone working there did it on one occasion.
  3. I don't generally go as far up as Daventry. But I'm happy to meet up.
  4. If the guitar related stuff was simply moved out from the "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Other Musically Related Items" section that would be a major improvement IMHO.[/font][/color]
  5. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1434988736' post='2804456'] Perhaps you should have tried a Warwick then. [/quote] You're right. It would at least I would have found out if their Streamer sounded anything like my own Streamer.
  6. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1434921395' post='2803919'] Try and dig out the link to the Bass Bash last week Rich - unless you think my playing of your bass will put people off that is Seriously though, this is a very nice bass to play, and has a very nice sound to it. [/quote] Thanks Lozz, but that will never do. Someone might actually buy it!!
  7. [quote name='sellisnba' timestamp='1434917675' post='2803871'] Dam Rich, Selling your P bass and quarter pounder pickups. That's the perfect combo. [/quote] Maybe. But the pup in the Precision is really good. It's got a great growl to it. I'm only selling as I'm making a choice between this and a Westone Thunder. I've decided I possibly prefer the Westone. The problem I have is too many basses, then I don't really develop an intimate connection with any single bass. I read threads where folk talk about that "one special bass". I don't have a "single bass"connection, but if I I'm to develop one then I need to cut down. Maybe I'm stoopid. Maybe I'm chasing rainbows. I've got some great basses. But the world is full of great basses and I can't own them all.
  8. Hi there, Here is a rather nice Precision. It's in great condition and has the metal tag on the headstock for the 60th Anniversary. In the pics this has flats. I'm changing these for rounds for the sale - still good strings. There's no buckle-rash, just 3-4 small scratches near the jack-socket - see pics. This bass was one of those in Lozz's neck comparison test at the Herts Bass Bash. I'm happy to ship this and can add in a gig-bag in the deal. I'l be sorry to see this go really. I'm based in Bishops Stortford, Herts, but travel a fair bit, so may be able to deliver. I'm happy to send this anywhere by courier at the cost of the courier.

Thanks for looking Rich
  9. I was in there yesterday. It was my first visit. I played 3 or 4 Fender basses. All I can say is to me they all sounded rather "samey" and that was similar to the sound in the video; rather "metallic" to my hearing. I was looking for a more Warwick-like growl. I know this is probably down to the string selection. The young guy there told me they change the strings on all the basses they take in. I guess if they use the same strings and those have a strong metallic rasp to the sound they will sound all the same to some extent. This is one I rather do like the sound of though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8wErLFNuNk
  10. Hi there, You're looking at my black Fender Jazz Deluxe MIM. It's in great condition, with one small ding near the jack socket - see pics. The controls are Vol, Blend, Bass/Treble, Mids. It's got a new battery and good strings. The tone is deep and meaningful and it's comfortable to play. The weight is 4.3Kg, or 9.5lb I'm in East Herts, but I can send by courier for the cost of shipping. [b]Now I've added a Hard case too... not great, but it's robust with metal corners.[/b] For more pics: [url="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Grangur/slideshow/BC-pics/Basses%20for%20sale/FJD-black?sort=3"]http://s1175.photobu...JD-black?sort=3[/url] The ding in the bottom left corner looks a lot worse in the pic than real life. Thanks for looking

  14. Hi there, I recently bought this from another BCer, but after fitting I've decided to sell the bass even though this gave a massive improvement over the existing, so this is surplus to requirements. This model has the shaped response. It also comes with the battery clip connected and fly-leads attached for connection to the pups. It comes with the connection instructions as well. The bass I've fitted it in was a Fender Deluxe Jazz, but it was designed for a Lakland. Here's what East have to say about it: [url="http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/j-retro/dj-retro.html"]http://www.east-uk.c...o/dj-retro.html[/url] [b]Dropped to £125 posted[/b] For more pics: [url="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Grangur/slideshow/BC-pics/East?sort=3"]http://s1175.photobu...ics/East?sort=3[/url] Thanks for looking and feel free to checkout my feedback.
  15. I just had the pleasure of meeting with Gareth when buying his Thumb. (A Warwick. He's not yet into selling limbs, no matter how samll). It was a nice easy transaction. The bass was just as desribed. fairly priced and a good cuppa provided when we got there. Many thanks Gareth PS: Since this I'm now a bit P@@@@d off as he sold it as Bubinga - it's not, it's ovankol!!
