[quote name='stingraybassman' timestamp='1384616079' post='2278788'] Right folks, last price drop to £580. I'd rather keep it that let it go for any less than that. [/quote] Very fair price, have a free bump -
He was a very fair dealer with me. I seem to recall him saying that the red/white/rosewood precision bass shown used to belong to Musical Youth

[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1384903896' post='2282277'] Plus you get all the fun of dealing with the unknown, unwashed public on ebay ( the good, the bad, and the downright dishonest and ugly!). [/quote] Ebay-wise : I'm on my third timewasting, non-shipping, non-refunding, communciation-challenged seller in a row. Set a decent reserve/sensible start price you muppets, then you wont be disappointed at the final hammer price. Never been stiffed on here.

£7 per listing / £20 per annum is not massively expensive. The owners do have to buy server space, bandwidth etc. I'm pretty sure they're not driving a new Ferrari every day on the back of Basschat profits.

Could we see the "content I follow" button ported over to the mobile version please ?

I'm impressed with the brass frets. No wear after years of use and look lovely after just a little cleaning that took literally two minutes.

Stick with it Doggedness is the trick with eBay

Come up often on eBay and don't sell for much so you could try one cheaply

German made Warwick Corvette standard from 2000. Passive : volume, blend, tone. Light, with a narrow (approx 38mm) & slim neck, which would be perfect for those with smaller hands. Superb condition, it is in a natural finish with an Ovankvol neck . There are a couple of very minor dinks by the jack socket (ie on the lower edge), apart from that its damage-free. Serial number indicates September 2000 and runs between the tuners vertically along the head stock. Frets are polished and smooth with no wear at all I have lemon oiled the board and neck and its been looked after generally.I've put switch cleaner into the pots and they are smooth. I have replaced the jack with a Neutrik version from Maplin (known Warwick weak point apparently) and the plastic "just a nut 2" has lost its side tabs (I still have them, they just broke off due to weak design, so you can glue them on if you wish). Its really not an issue if you change the strings one at a time, and it takes microseconds to slot it back in if you take the strings all off at once . I'm finding the neck a little narrow, so I'm moving it on. I had thought Warwicks had chunky nexks. Preferably collected from near Mansfield. I do get about, in London for first weekend in December, and in Sheffield weekend of 24th November so can deliver/meet. Can be brought to J27 M1 (Annesley). I'm willing to ship this (at cost, no profit), this will however be in a disassembled state (ie neck and body separated/strings, screws, any loose parts in a jiffy bag etc) so please be sure you are confident about reassembling it or know someone who can assist you. Several pics here if you swipe.: [url="http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/geek99/media/Warwick%20Corvette/A2E1FDB5-ED25-41AB-B1F1-599873ADEDAA-3765-0000071E81555E5D_zps1469e745.jpg.html"][/url] BACS, Cash, cleared cheque or PAYPAL (you pay fees please) Yours for £400

As someone who owns a badly insulated conservatory with a radiator connected to the main CH system, I'd think twice before doing that Consult a heating engineer first is my advice

Thanks - so the nut, and the jack socket are a bit rubbish for build quality it seems Anything else I should know ?

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1383904230' post='2270529'] I believe Wilton Felder played Bass on "I want You Back", he also played Sax with the Crusaders. (with the wonderful Pops Popwell on Bass) Also I think there was a demo version knocking around somewhere, with James Jamerson on Bass Pops On Bass here/Wilton Felder on Sax. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqGw7YBFH-A [/quote] Yep -Wilton Felder. Jerry Scheff said so.
