    [quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1428793568' post='2744680'] Is that a replacement wooden nut?? [/quote] Yes, this is a nut custom made by luthier Steve Randall as the original plastic but was wearing down [quote name='Josh' timestamp='1428795453' post='2744692'] Bill kindly lent me this bass for my bands recording and I can personally vouch for how good the bass is and that Bill is a gent to deal with. He's an alright bassist as well. [/quote] Thanks Josh! Hope you're well man! :-)

    Hi Basschat, So for the 3rd time now.. I am selling my 2004 Warwick Thumb Bolt-On (I promise I will let go of her this time!) It's an awesome bass - great tone, great feel and has been taken very good care of (the Ovangkol has aged so well) Reason for sale is that it's only getting used for tuition and not being played on gigs (the 5-string streamers tend to be my gig workhorses) so I really want it to go someone who is going to gig it and play it regularly like it should be! :-) I bought this bass brand new for £1250, and looking for £950 for her! This bass is in excellent condition, apart from a few tiny hardly noticeable dings. Here is a few video link demo: [media]http://youtu.be/vUoFnL9oH5A[/media] Message for further details, more photos on request! Thanks, Bill.

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've been messing around with this metronome idea this afternoon: setting the click to a comfortable tempo where you can hear it on the 3! Gives it a great downbeat vibe and perfect for groove practice. [/font][/color]

    [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1425721347' post='2709992'] That's absolutely stunning!! I need to see the back now go on show us your back [/quote] Cheers all! Sure here is a picture of the back

    [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1425472206' post='2707639'] Nice Bill So do you prefer this to your Thumb now? [/quote] It's a whole different animal.. But yes I do! :-)

    [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1423466398' post='2684975'] Love the contrast between the body and the neck. Congrats! [/quote] Thanks man! Here is a new video of her in action :-) http://youtu.be/NkLYwzlYOS4

    I really enjoy the metronome, more so when it's on a 2 & 4 pulse.. Has helped me improve my playing loads in the last few years, but i do understand it may not suit everyone.. I can still make music from playing with a click.. It's just the way you approach it!
  14. Bill
    forget to mention this is the website i've been using for 12 years as an online metronome: http://www.metronomeonline.com/ anyone use anything different? or recommend any cool apps for your smartphone that are versatile??
  15. Bill
    Another great use I've found for the metronome in practice is having it set to a slow speed such as 60bpm.. And hear the click on the 2 & 4.. Gives it a great pulse for rhythm practice or playing walking lines along with it..

    Hi Basschat, Just wanted to share and discuss metronome opinions, I've recently got back in to using this handy tool for ironing out creases in stuff that I'm working on making more smooth sounding and general speed upping! And the metronome has really been keeping me honest and pushing me closer to my goals: I filmed a practice session yesterday and decided to upload this short clip to YouTube, with myself playing a Minor and Major arpeggio over a 170bpm click to track my progress with using the metronome, in hope that it may inspire people that aren't using a metronome to maybe give it a shot for their progress, and also would like to hear some opinions on people who decide against using it for whatever reasons they have, http://youtu.be/p5MyYonB7QI Bill.

    Thanks guys, new video demo going up soon, showing how tone versatile this bass is :-)
  18. Bill
    Thanks theyellowcar, I had that in mind when choosing the woods, really love the look of that dark and light :-)
  19. Bill
    Cheers guys - the bass came to 7K, but as an endorser of Warwick I did get a slight discount.

    Thanks fellas! Glad you're digging it.

    [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1423125213' post='2680950'] Looks awesome Bill. Love the woods used. How do the pickups compare to your Thumb? Great playing aswell. Im mates with Boosh and he pointed me the way of your IG [/quote] Thanks all! Cheers man, the pickups are miles ahead of my 04 Thumb, the Nordstrands just rinse MEC! The growl is insane, and much more versatile.. Have been using the Nordstrands in my other streamer for 8 years and just had to go with them again, that's cool you know Rich too! Tell him I said hey :-)

    Thanks fellas! :-)

    Cheers all! Totally forgot to attach a vid clip of it Here's a little demo vid I did from earlier today, there are so many tone options it's hard to settle with one to show you, but here it is, doesn't do the tone full justice but you get the idea :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n49iPYbyWB8

    Hi Basschat! here is my new Custom Streamer Stage I from Warwick, I'm absolutely over the moon with how it turned out! I spent hooours going through the woods to choose the ones I liked the most and this one caught my eye - Macassar Ebony! I paired it up with a Birdseye Maple fretboard, a Wenge neck, and a Quilted maple back, then added Nordstrand "Big Splits" to it! Here is the result
