  1. Helloes. How does one go about earning a 'Member Title' as per the below?
  2. Is that the 5- or 6-incher?
  3. Do you mean second-hand or new? Second-hand, you pay more (£1,000+) for early models, custom shop and anything neck-through. Early- to mid-noughties models with chunky necks tend to be less sought-after. They still aren't trendy items second-hand, partly I guess because right now passive Fenders are what 'the kids' are into and partly because the oil finishes can look icky if not properly cared for. Some models are probably more popular than others but it's in the eye of the beholder, really. Chinese and Korean instruments can be found for not much moolah. New, you pay sky-high dollars for Custom Shop basses, £1,500 upwards for 'German Pro Series' (parts sourced from various luthiers and assembled on the German production line) and anything up to £1,000 for Chinese Rockbasses. Hope it's helpful and reasonably accurate.

  5. Love it! Just needs a whammy bar or two
  6. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202814579937 A 17-string broadneck. Love it!
  7. Decorative? Nah, you could take out a mammoth with one well-placed swing of that.
  8. My 9-year-old listens to Parry Gripp. That is all. (But he’s still into Cardiacs, bless him)
  9. And welcome to do so 👍
  10. Still available for non-decorative purposes ...
  11. Will bump this now and then until I lose the will to live ... I have for sale the original, used-once 9v 2-band, four-pot electronic innards from a Warwick Rockbass Streamer NT. NB: This came from a bass with active pickups. There's one used with passive pickups below. I can't discern any physical difference, but hey. The part number is SP - RB125 and normally sells for a snadge over £50 plus postage from Germany. Details here: https://shop.warwick.de/en/pickups/accessories-parts/bass-electronics/21366/active-electronic-for-passive-pus-vol-balmn250k-treble-bass No longer available? Controls are volume, pup blend, bass and treble. Knobs available should you need them. Pots marked as follows (wire wraps are labelled): Volume Alpha A25kΩ; pup blend (M?)N250K; Treble B 50K; Bass none found, presumed covered in solder! Everything was removed by a proper luthier, not me. Electronics mystify me. So on the off-chance you have a Rockbass with four holes, and a broken preamp, this is your replacement. It's vaguely possible you might think of another use for it but I can't, and I won't hold my breath waiting for suggestions. Price includes delivery. Fill your bootses.

  13. Don’t know about neck screws but the ones for the strap buttons are def thicker than the norm
  14. Why thank you! It is very spot on, but a vanity thing for me really -- I don't play it often (not even mad on the P-bass sound 😲), just like having a beautiful thing around. And given I've got more basses than pounds, here we are ... Mind you, it's a mistake to ignore those heartstrings I reckon ... 😉
  15. What if that's me? What if the sound I hear in my head isn't the same as what everyone else hears? What if everyone is laughing at me when I think I'm laying down a well sick groove carpet?
  16. This has made me want to stop playing forever 😭
  17. Have we had bowelburst yet?
  18. Which seems to have started life as a 12-string
  19. I bought Alin's Warwick bass -- twas exactly as described and a pleasure doing business.
