Dazed

I can't do it. Players that I listened to growing up and pulled me from guitar to bass Mick Karn Mark King Pino Palladino Paul McCartney Then there's those I heard and been blown away by Flea Doug Wimbush Jaco Stanley Clarke Les Claypool Robert Trujillo Billy Gould And the more I listened to and sought out other players , musical tastes broadened and became more aware of other fantastic players. I simply can't pin it down to five.

I bought an expensive bass from a german gumtree type site. No feedback/rep system. After several emails back and forth we agreed a deal. The seller insisted on sending the bass, and waiting for me to check it over and was happy with it before sending payment to him. The end. Incredible in this day and age. I hope the OP gets this resolved.

I'd like to come along to this if I'm in Wales when it's on

Chris recently bought an amp from me. Excellent deal from start to finish, thoroughly good comms. No issues whatsoever, except it would've been nice if the pub we chose to meet at was open Great fella, deal with in total confidence folks.

Measure what you have against a replacement, don't forget string spacings. That's a really nice looking Warwick! Is the pickup definately faulty ? Can you swap the front and rear to check its the pickup ?

Give em a day or two

It would be worthwhile posting a thread in the warwick forum if you haven't already.

Only my point of view but at a guess anything new from Warwick is going to be mighty expensive. I'd be looking to replace it with something else, non MEC. Keep an eye on the "other" for sale forum here you often see used pre amps for sale.

Sorry another off topic point here also about status strings- not half rounds in this case, but I had a set of rounds replaced 3 times due to a dead e string. Perseverance was required for the replacements!

You've also got The Vault on Wind Street, The Adelphi used to be good but not sure about that any more, and there's a few other places on Wind Street as well. The Singleton pub also have bands, and The Uplands Tavern [/quote] Thanks Chris. I'll have to check them out when I'm feeling less anti social

Hello from a manc in South Wales While I'm here, has anyone fell over any decent live music in the Swansea area?

Just adding some feedback I found for a deal a while back. [quote name='Jonesthebass' timestamp='1409842698' post='2543870'] Top bloke. Dropped into cardiff enroute from Manchester to Swansea. Showed me all the gizmos on the bass and sat patiently whilst I noodled and wrestled with a decision. Hand delivered to the house. Can't say fairer than that! Cheers Daz [/quote]
