    [quote name='hillbilly deluxe' timestamp='1318938323' post='1407893'] Bill's bass is owned by Larry Moss,a collector from Memphis,and is currently on loan to Graceland. [/quote] Ok, thank you.

    Hey Clarky, thanks for that. Just been reading up about Bill Black. Never heard of him before and such a shame he died only 39. Really interesting reading. Paul McCartney has his old double bass but I wonder what happened to that 56' Precision.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1318878566' post='1407346'] I'd have thought that the Genz Benz STL9 would also be a good candidate. There's one in the FS section. [/quote] That would be me What I liked about the Shuttle and the reason I bought a Shuttle 6 and then upgraded to a Shuttle 9 is for the fact it does not colour the sound. It is very pure and lets the true sound of the bass come though. They work brilliantly out the box with everything flat but they are also very easy to boost certain frequencies. The only reason I am selling is I play in an acoustic band so only need a combo these days.

    Lovely Sunday evening bump.

    [quote name='risingson' timestamp='1306148789' post='1241405'] However, THIS is the video that's telling me to stop being such an idiot and save up for the Will Lee model. Forget the playing, the tone is just great. [/quote] Blimey that sounds awsome. Never heard one of these basses before but it sounds amazing.

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1318768936' post='1405932'] It's me and Darren at BM doing the lot. Not heard a peep from elsewhere. [/quote] Thats very dissapointing and confirms my thoughts. Very poor show from S & T and EB.

    Must admit, my opinion of EB has dropped since this saga. Never thought something like this would happen with an EB bass and also quite surprised about the lack of urgency EB seem to be putting on this. I could be wrong as I do not fully know whats going on behind the scenes but it does seem like gareth is having to do all the chasing.

    Shockingly beautiful bass and would suit my current band like a dream

    NOW SOLD For sale is my mint condition Genz Benz Shuttle 9 which I purchased brand new from Bass Merchant. It has only been occasionally used at home so is in mint condition, perfect working order without a mark on it. It will come with the original box, manual and power cable. I will also throw in the official Genz Benz Shuttle gig bag that I bought for it. I play in an acoustic group and use my MarkBass combo so I have no use for this anymore and sooner it go to someone who will get some use out of it. I bought this new from Bass Merchant for £699 about 6 months ago but they have since dropped in price to £599 so I would like £450 inc postage. I am in Surrey so any trial or collection is welcome. I may also consider a trade for a NS Wav 4 or NS NXT 4 or a Fender '51 re-issue Precision.

    [quote name='mart' timestamp='1318515315' post='1403177'] Yes, their default neck from 2010 onwards is a much thinner profile, with nicely rounded fingerboard edges. You can still request the chunky neck, but the default is thin. [/quote] Excellent, thank you for confirming.
  12. Linus27
    Am I right in thinking that newer Warwicks don't have such a chunky neck these days? My 2006 Streamer Jazzman which is a bolt on does have a chunky neck but my old 2010 Corvette which is also bolt on has a very nice thin neck. I am sure I read somewhere that Warwick's went back to slimmer necks over the last few years.

    Bad luck Mart. Nothing is selling at the moment. My MIA Jazz had very very little interest and other basses on here are just not selling. I would say it is worse now that a few years ago when we had an official recession.

    [quote name='Mike' timestamp='1318425113' post='1401967'] I have splashed out on a table, and bringing my normally jazz-aloof wife. Big fan of LC, I predict it will be mind-blowing! [/quote] No don't say that, I so wish I could make it. Can't you just lie and say its going to be rubbish, it would make me feel so much better

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1318419290' post='1401826'] No yet, EBMM are aware and are investigating. Problem is, I can't fault it when they are right. I love their basses. [/quote] Lets face it Gareth, what ever bass you get, something along the way will go wrong with it. Its written in the stars

    I wanted to go this this but I can't get the time free to go

    Our drummer was complaining that the bass was too loud and my amp was too loud blah blah. So we tried a song and during it he continued to complain the bass was too loud so I showed him my hands and the fact that I was not actually playing and then pointed to my amp to show him that it was not switched on or even plugged in. It turned out it was the guitar he mean't
  18. Linus27
    Yep, agree with Dave and the others. Get money back and move on.
  19. Linus27
    Gareth, you see, if you bought a Fender in the first place, your expectations would be that the neck pocket would have gaps and there would be other quality issues so if you got a good one it would be party time Set your sights low by buying Fender :) Seriously, never had any problems with any of my Fenders. I do hope you get this sorted soon and at least you got other Stingrays to keep you busy.
  20. Linus27
    When you have been working on a song and written a great bass line that uses harmonics and open strings of a fretless for the songwriter to say they have changed the key so your very cool bass lines does not work anymore and you have to start all over from scratch again gggrrrr
  21. Linus27
    My very first Stingray that I bought from The Bass Centre in Wapping had a dodgy neck. It would not settle or stay in tune. I took it back to the Bass Centre who got in contact with S&T and said if I bring it down they will sort it. So I drove down to see them and they agreed the wood was too soft and changed the neck over there and then and it was fine ever since. So it does seem that a few bad ones can get through but Gareths does seem to be a bit of a howler.
  22. Linus27
    Awsome, thanks Owen. How does his bass sound and any fretless stuff?

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1317846869' post='1395460'] Break after first set. It is proper. [/quote] What?? Is that it???? You can't leave us hanging on What basses is he playing? full band, style of music, more more more

    [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1317843935' post='1395395'] Thread locked Deleted and the OP banned for life [/quote] HAHA beat me to it but good to see we are on the same page

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1317843729' post='1395391'] I wonder what pearls of wisdom Big Poppa would have about it over on the Forum? [/quote] Probably get banned, accused of lying, ear marked as a terrorist, refused entry into the US of A and then throw the worst insult they can at you which is call you a Fender fanboy
