No problem sir! Similar situation here. If I can move it (and some other stuff), I'll come knocking. GLWTS.

You're getting into my Yamaha BB2000 territory now... I could be tempted if you could...

So, I'm confused now. Is the sunburst back up for sale, at the original price, albeit by a new owner, and not on Basschat? Coz I was quite into it.

PMd!

PMd.

When you say 'half decent', if you think £20 is decent does that mean you'll take a tenner? :-) (not actually after any J pups, but if you've got a 70s P Dimarzio or know of the whereabouts of such, I'd have it!)

Bump with the long-awaited pics.

Go on then, any more pics? :-) Love to see a close up of the face of the bass.

Oi is in south Lincolnshire, right on the edge of the Wash. But I work in Pboro, and I'm often out and about (a bit randomly).

Speed bump (or 'fret', as it's also known)

Bank holiday bump. It's sunny out there! How about that!?

Bumpy ride

Now £600 and if no-one wants it, I don't mind. I won't take it personally. Sniff.

Oh, sorry Conan, yes, I'm interested... I thought you were considering parting with the old girl. Can I pm you tomorrow afternoon? I'm in deepest Wales and the mobile signal is a little ropey.

Hi Kev, pm'd. Hi Conan, ah, is it a black one or a burst? Basically, the Corvette is kinda supposed to do a bit of everything, and it's close-ish to most. So with both pups in single coil, you can roll between them from that honky thing on the bridge to the mellow, woody neck sound. Or you can mix up humbuckers in either series or parallel, or mix with either with the other humbucker in single coil. A lot of options. And that's before you start messing with the 2 band eq. Or active/passive push/pull. Both tone controls have a massive effect. Overall, in the studio/bedroom, the sound palette is vast. It slaps like you wouldn't believe. It's always the bass I go to when I'm learning new techniques and riffs because it's so easy to play and sounds so good. The bass has a wonderful feel to the neck, really slick and fast. I have the action on the floor, how I like it, and fingers just float around. The neck is chunkier than a Jazz, with a deeper profile, but it's lovely to play. My problem with the thing is - and this will sound daft - simply too much choice in a live situation for me. I've only been playing live for a couple of years so I'm still at the stage where I can't deal with too much stuff going on live, and the fact is I've found too much choice distracting, especially as we never get a chance to soundcheck. I just have to plug and play and get a decent tone immediately, and you really can't beat a passive precision or jazz or p/j for that. In fact you can't beat P bass full stop. Of course the downside is you're limited tonally and I imagine more adventurous and technically adept players than me would love the variety the $$ has to offer. But I'm just a bit overawed by it. Hope this helps a bit! Simon H

Ah, I'm in South Lincs/Peterborough, but highly mobile! And good with private couriers and packing.

Bumpo again, price drop from £675 to £625. Losing money now :-(. Can't edit trade value either.

Take it off the top. Now [i]there's[/i] a tune. TV on the radio. Falling asleep listening to disastrous continental (or sometimes East Anglian) heavy metal <sigh>. If I'd liked John Peel instead, I might've been more fashionable and pulled more often. But there's a difference between bad taste and no taste at all. No regrets. Now would someone please buy my Warwick? It looks and sounds amazing.

Holy moly, that is stunning. I could actually eat that. Can someone PLEASE buy my $$.
