OK a month has elapsed since I put this on ice after heavy pressure from certain quarters! I haven't played it and have had no desire to play it. I am not a fretless person and likely never will be. It's simply too much money tied up in a beautiful bass that's sat in it's case and I can think of other things I could use the money for. So it's back up for £1500 ono or trade against a quality 5'er (Sadowsky, Alembic) PS Chris before you try and dissuade me again I could always buy another fretless at a later date if I ever needed/wanted one but I really can't see that happening! Edit: as this runs to three pages, the best pics are in post 3 (with new Bass Doc-sourced 70's style tort guard on) and post 1 (the Vintage & Rare pics with its original black guard on - which is safely stored in the case)

Don't suppose you are driving down near London any time soon as I'm quite interested in this as a pair for my new Orange valve amp (AD200B)?

Yay, he's definitely back! The bells were heard ringing from the highest towers in the land PS, nice bass if anyone notices it

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='876645' date='Jun 24 2010, 05:30 PM']No worries, like I say if you don't want to ship it I'll just buy new ones. Cheers[/quote] OK, how about I package up and post to you for 35 plus whatever it costs with a max cost to you of £45 (ie I pay any excess)- sound fair? You can pay me once I have posted, as you are a longstandong BCer, and I will let you know the total. Deal? Cheers Clarky

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='876600' date='Jun 24 2010, 04:58 PM']Maybe a bit overkill but i have a guitar box lying at work you can have if it helps.[/quote] Thanks for the offer Dave. I've got a guitar box already but I was thinking that might mean exorbitant postage charges. I had best check ith PO

Hi, thanks for reply. The thing is I don't have a box shaped even vaguely like this when doubled over, so to post would require some elaborate Heath Robinson type ensemble of bubble wrap. I would rather wait a few days and see if there's anyone willing to meet/collect. If not, then I will go the post route and its yours. Cheers Clarky

For sale: Warwick's premium (30mm padded) Rockbag for a Thunderbird, Buzzard or Beast bass. Hard to find in UK, so cost me £65 including shipping from Thomann in Germany (here's the listing [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockbag_rb20603b_plus_thunderbird_bassgigbag.htm)"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockbag_rb20603b_...bassgigbag.htm)[/url]. Makes a Thunderbird easy to carry to practices/gigs etc, especially when compared to the mightily heavy Gibson hard case. Used once for a rehearsal, at which I decided the Thunderbird sounded great but was not for me due to narrow Jazz-type neck (the bass is now sold pending to a BC'er). Bit awkward to ship due to size/shape, so handover in London would be better. How's about £35 anyone, just over half new price for an immaculate as-new gigbag specially dsigned for your T'bird?

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='875678' date='Jun 23 2010, 06:11 PM']That bass has some serious mojo, I like! But alas, cannot afford. Yet... Any chance of some sound clips?[/quote] Ahead of any reply from faceman, I know from the research I did when buying my old 3000 that this was essentially conceived as a simpler (than the 4000 series, that is) bass and was pitched against the Precision. My old 3000 sounded really quite Precision like as a result of the single coil pickup and its placement
