[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1356965619' post='1915725'] imo.. some basses are worth more to keep them than the selling price... [/quote] True words! and thanks to all for thanks advice and comments -
I instantly fell for my P fretless. I wasn't even sure it was what I wanted but the seller offered it to me after I mentioned I was looking for for a fretless on basschat. He had owned it for 16 years because he felt it was *sonically right". I agree and he had it set up right too. Definitely exceeded my expectations. Thanks m8 if your reading this.

Last bump for a while, I have a trade offer I'm interested in and I have been playing and enjoying this bass again so may keep it it that doesn't work out. Would I be happier with its replacement? Probably not Thanks for the interest.
-
Thanks, last bump. It adds some sounds to my armory and it plays smoothly so I'm now thinking I should count my blessings and keep it.
-
Still up for sale/trade? just been playing it, it's awesome!

Still up for sale/trade

Some worthy trade options so far but bumping again in the hope of a dream bass.

Anyone get any nice bass related items from Santa ?

Not exactly bass related but I got an Alesis qx25 midi keyboard. to help me record stuff. -
Open to more trade options due to an impending deal on my other guitar.

[quote name='Dr M' timestamp='1356109580' post='1907048'] Fair point with Rickenbacker, Gibson, Gretsch, but I thought basically all Warwicks and Sandbergs were active? Sandberg's website certainly only seems to list one or two models that don't have a preamp. [/quote] Sandbergs come in loads of options or custom builds. Most active Sandbergs have an active/passive switch and I know there are passive only Panthers and Californias-the Umbo is a passive.

[quote name='dougal' timestamp='1356105345' post='1906950'] Ahh, this did, indeed, used to be mine. Lovely bass. Bought new from the USA, imported when I moved back and traded on here. It's got the asymmetrical neck, piezo, stacked humbucker, excellent pre-amp. [/quote] AAh Dougal, the man who put it it on the Carvin Museum, nice to communicate. Yes lots of nice sound with loads nice of options. Having said that the controls are simple in practise based around a 3 band EQ. I soon found my sound on it. I moved over to 3 5 stringers earlier in the year. The others were TRB1005 and a Spector, this is the one I kept in case I decided to go with 5 but now moving back to 4 strings. I figure I need to learn how to play 4 better rather than switching around.
-
ooh I should have said, it comes with a nice Carvin fitted case. Thanks for comments.

offers?

[quote name='Captain Rumble' timestamp='1355782137' post='1902783'] Do I understand you have given the UMBO a coat of paint ? [/quote] No only joking! I think its perrrfect the way it is.
-
Thanks Dudi, It is a very nice one. It hasn't left my house since it arrived and I have been recording with it. I'm very lucky to have some really nice basses and tend to play the Umbo as it is equally as nice. you can buy it back if you wish Do you have any pictures you can post as I have lost the lead to my camera? Note: your now making me think I should keep it

[quote name='Captain Rumble' timestamp='1355781570' post='1902764'] You just play the ropey old one now then [/quote] That's the problem I can only play one at a time and the old one old one a coat of paint before I sell it. This link is to pics of the old one. The one for sale is in much better nick http://basschat.co.uk/topic/191745-happy-bassday-to-me/page__p__1866604__hl__new%20bassday__fromsearch__1#entry1866604

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Here we have 1 Carvin XB75p. Great sounding 5 stringer with lots of sound options. A fantastic sounding bass but I have gone back to playing 4 strings so it isn't used. Great wood grain with a Koa top and ebony fret board. This is the guitar featured as "Dougals" on the Carvin Museum site. [url="http://www.carvinmuseum.com/playersgallery/xb75.html"]http://www.carvinmus...llery/xb75.html[/url] It's a long shot but ideally I would like a 4 string Carvin of similar spec. Estimated trade value is £XXX with cash either way. Thanks for looking[/font][/size]
