I'll take the other Badass, the SD QP P pickup and the tort pickguard Chris. How much to post that lot? I can paypal you the money any time, just give me a total and your paypal details. Cheers Ian -
What about the Aguilar Tone Hammer? It seems to be getting a good word over on the other side...

I like this ones Mojo, whether it's real or not - I find new Fenders to be a real turn-off looks wise. They're just designed to look battered! Keep us informed Kev!

Does this mean there'll be another DD for sale soon?

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='306847' date='Oct 15 2008, 09:03 AM']Yeah, i was surprised how nice the finish on my DD was when it arrived. You dont really see the sparkle in the pics but in the flesh its lovely (in a cabaret sort of way :-) I notice there seems to be a lot more JO5's around than DJ5's. Any idea's why?[/quote] The JO5 had a good head start (came out first). Only reason I can think of really! -
Hi Mate, Just to say I've decided to keep the Bongo after a bit of a play last night. Good luck with the sale. Cheers Ian -
Lakland have discontinued quite a few Skyline colours in their time. CAR was available on all skyline 44/55 models once...

[quote name='chris_b' post='306031' date='Oct 14 2008, 09:57 AM']You're trading an Aston Martin for an MX-5!!![/quote] That's stretching it a little! What is it with all the Warwick bashing. They're still cracking basses, which is no doubt why this guy wants one. -
It's FT here as well...

Do you have a £ value in mind?
-
I'll try and get a few pics in the next couple of days. Probably be tomorrow night before I get a chance though.

Would a Bongo 5 HH be of any interest? Not commiting to anything though as I'm not sure if I want to let it go, but LIFO (last in, first out) rules usually apply with me...

Friday night was the second gig with my covers band (same venue as the first disaster!). First set was a blinder. Really enjoyable. Tempos were a bit high but still danceable, which is good. Second set was utter, mistake ridden, pants! No technical difficulties for the singer to hide behind this time so I'm going to rip him a new one at practise this week, although everyone needs a bit of a going over... Brain farts right, left and centre. Not impressed.

Mike (house 123), Do you happen to know which pickup is in this bass, Fralin or Lakland? Do you have a case/gig bag for it? Cheers Ian

[quote name='artisan' post='302183' date='Oct 8 2008, 02:15 PM']if its anywhere neer your £500 budget snap his or her hand off,they're lovely basses.[/quote] That is a nice bass for the money. I'd prefer pearl blocks if it were me. The black looks like somebody's been let loose with a marker... although that's just a personal thing.

I saw Sheryl Crow playing 'favourite mistake' on a black/dark rosewood/black pearl P bass on VH1 years ago and thought it was well classy looking, but the rosewood board needs to be ebony coloured or it looks a bit odd against the brown of the rosewood. I'd go tort for rosewood and black pearl for maple...

[quote name='BassManKev' post='301610' date='Oct 7 2008, 07:03 PM']my my, that is f*** ugly would still love to try it though [/quote] You know what they say... Beauty is in the eye of Noddy Holder... or something like that... -
[quote name='beerdragon' post='301768' date='Oct 7 2008, 10:11 PM']I dont get that [/quote] Are you extracting the urine?

I'm just in from band practise where I was playing my Lakland JO4. Awesome bass. Never played the DJ4 but I believe it's more of a 70's vibe than the JO. I like the UV Sads too , but they couldn't twice as good as what I've already got. Saying that I've never played one... scared to!
-
Pino hasn't played as much fretless since the early 90's. He's a pure 'P-bass with flatwounds' head now. The man's a legend! If I could steal one player's chops it'd be his... Funny this appears now, I just took to listening to all the Pino I have on my iPod yesterday!

[quote name='cheddatom' post='301121' date='Oct 7 2008, 11:07 AM']Ahh - misinterpretation due to my poor technique of having my thumb over the top instead of up the back of the neck.[/quote] You couldn't do that on my 6 string. Aircraft carrier comes to mind, but I love it!
-
[quote name='cheddatom' post='301108' date='Oct 7 2008, 10:48 AM']Surely for a thin neck you need thin/tight string spacing?[/quote] He means thin front to back (depth not width)

Larry Graham... (Sly and the Family Stone, Graham Central Station, Prince) Have a look about for his instructional video. It's a good laugh - the man's totally mad! There's some good instructional stuff on youtube too. Have a look for a user called 'marlowedk'.
