[quote name='Beedster' post='1277957' date='Jun 21 2011, 11:50 PM']No, I'm one also, and there's many more. Most just wisely avoid these threads [/quote] No, I am one also. I think the only genre I have never enjoyed is blues.

[quote name='Marvin' post='1277417' date='Jun 21 2011, 06:00 PM']This thread has baffled me, I can't work out what on earth is going on.[/quote] I'm with you on this Marvin. To me its all music. You either like it or you don't

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1277381' date='Jun 21 2011, 05:31 PM']Yeah I agree. All musicians are tossers. The only 'pure' form of entertainment is Karaoke. [/quote] Don't you mean, Yeah I agree. All musicians are tossers. The only 'pure' form of entertainment is a tribute band

Thanks everyone for the help and advice. I would sure love that Fender Power Jazz Special thats come up for sale. However, I have just bought a German made Warwick Streamer Jazzman Fretless so this will have to do for now. So for now the all black fretless will have to go on hold until I get GAS again. Probably early to mid next week

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='1276909' date='Jun 21 2011, 12:08 PM']Back up to the top and back for speculartive sale. I just applied to uni for a masters so the money would be nice, or jazz bass plus cash would be nice.[/quote] I have just bought a Warwick Streamer Jazzman Fretless as I seem to be playing fretless more in my current band. However, if I like the Warwick but decide to go back to fretted, then I have a brand new MIA Fender Jazz in Olympic White with rosewood board. As I say it is brand new, only a few weeks old, never out of the house with hardcase, tags, manual etc if you are interested in some kind of trade. It really depends on how I get on with this Warwick Streamer Fretless but let me know if you are interested so I can keep a note. -
[quote name='mybass' post='1275819' date='Jun 20 2011, 12:44 PM']I tried one a few years back (in Italy). If my memory is working well, it was a larger to handle body than it had looked in any photo I had previously seen, well made but I wasn't completely taken on the acoustic sound. However that is one of the main 'problems' when trying out acoustic basses unplugged. I've played an old Washburn fretless AB20 for 15 years so I am more comfortable with this bass anyway.[/quote] Do you still have your Washburn AB20 Fretless?

Good luck Alex, hope you have a great day. I don't think I can make it as its quite a trip for me from Camberley. I must say though, I do want that Lakland Darryl Jones in natural that you have in store

I want that natural Darryl Jones Lakland thats hanging up

So is there anywhere in Europe that sell Warwick's and will ship to the UK? Thomman do but they have quite a small range of Warwick Streamers and no fretless models. Anyone else sell them in Europe?
-
Elites is all I use and have done for 20 years or so. My Warwick did have some Warwick Black labels string on which sounded great. I did try some Rotosounds on my Precision after speaking to Derek Forbes but I hated them and put the Elites back on.

[quote name='Bankai' post='1273071' date='Jun 17 2011, 07:13 PM']I think anybody who would have wanted to, will have read my post by now so I have removed it, for what I hope would be obvious reasons seeing as this page will appear in public and I'm not a spokeperson or something like that. Once again, apologies as I know it is frustrating [/quote] Totally understand Alex. Hope you get your thing sorted and we can have a BC band night somewhere.

[quote name='dc2009' post='1271567' date='Jun 16 2011, 02:43 PM']Ditto. However, the three basschat bands idea sounds good. My band (see my sig) are also keen for many gigs in coming months, so we would happy to join any possible bill at the Barbican venue, that'd make it 4 BC bands! PM me if you're interested![/quote] My band are also up for any gigs. Please note we are an acoustic band, a bit like an MTV Unplugged type thing playing original songs with a sort of catchy Motown feel. Still that would make it 5 BC bands

[quote name='chrisma' post='850282' date='May 28 2010, 01:09 PM']Now on eBay at 700, no reserve. Grab yourself a bargain!

Bassic cables from OBBM here also. Never had a problem with cables I have bought from him and they are still going strong. Dave is also a really nice guy. Highly recommended.

[quote name='NickH' post='1270105' date='Jun 15 2011, 01:53 PM']Well if that's the criteria - Hilary Woods of JJ72 [/quote] OOOOHHHH yes yes yes. Still don't understand why she just turned her back on music.
-
Mine would be Amanda Tannen. No idea what her playing is like but I like the look of her
-
Oh my god, I have never heard anything so terrible. Listen to it again but with your eyes closed. It just sounds like someone bashing some metal. No melody, groove, tune, just lots of metalic clanking sound. Totally pointless and not an ounce of music to be heard. Awful.
-
LukeFRC, did you ever sell your Warwick?

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1268513' date='Jun 14 2011, 12:25 PM']Hmm, not sure why I associate nu-metal with Warwick, but anything slightly metal/small bodied tends to be what I think of when it comes to nu-metal. The only good band from that lot is The Deftones, and they got tarred with the brush of nu-metal when they are in fact just a great melodic metal/rock band who continue to do their own thing. I couldnt/cant stand nu-metal...still makes me cringe now.[/quote] I have no idea what nu metal is

I still want a Streamer LX 4 fretless though but I might have to go second hand which is going to be like finding a needle in a haystack
-
Linkin Park/Dave Farrell uses Stingrays. Usually 4 string but 5 also.
-
Thanks guys, interesting, I wonder why Warwick are going down this route. I can't see the logic in it as they are pushing themselves out of the market.
-
I have asked a couple of supplies, GAK for example to see if they can get me a Warwick Streamer LX4 fretless and they are saying they can no longer get them. I also noticed that a lot of other suppliers, for example Andertons are no longer stocking Warwick's apart from maybe the odd Rockbass. Its becoming harder and harder to find Warwick's in this country. Is this because they are just getting far too expensive for retailers to buy?
