    PM'd regarding this (with respect if the above bass chatters don't want it) I wish I had the skills for this job, however I don't, luckily my dad does though lol.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='263106' date='Aug 15 2008, 02:32 PM']I touched a raw nerve when i asked if she would mind posting her response to my question about the bass "So you would appreciate me posting the fact that IN YOUR OPINION the bass is not a Fender. This wouldn't be so you can bid on it and get it at a fraction of it's worth would it? I have described the bass as accurately as possible and included large close up pictures so that those interested in it can bid what it is worth to them. My son bought it about 20 years ago in its present condition for about £500 but never got it restored. I trust this answers your questions" It didn't actually answer my question as it happens, as I never said it wasn't a Fender but I guess the fact that it was pulled did answer a few questions![/quote] Lol the needless abrupt/aggressive mentality here would alone have confirmed it as dodgy to me. I wonder if this piece of sh!t will resurface within the next few days/weeks.

    Got less & less nervous as the gigs went by. Then when I was at college the nerves completely dissappeared. Now after a 3 year break the whole process has started again.

    Ah damn it's looking that way yeah. I could probably learn to love this bass though so looks like I will be holding on to it for a while.

    "This Squire Bass is in my opinion as good as any USA made Precision " ....& is therefore priced accordingly. "it has been professionally set up and plays very well" Ah that explains it then

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='262983' date='Aug 15 2008, 11:37 AM']That's [i]precisely[/i] why I have no sympathy for any idiots who might be placing genuine bids on this - I have no duty to protect greedy & ignorant opportunists from themselves. Yes - let them learn the hard way.[/quote] +1 on this. The description etc is clearly trying to create a picture of some one wanting to get rid of some thing no longer used that they know nothing about, resulting in people jumping in ready to take advantage.

    "my son said he bought it off some guy he met on his travels in America, said his name was Jaco P?" Clever advert, I guess there are several idiots bidding thinking "OMG this woman should have done her research, I'm gonna pick up a vintage Fender for a fraction of the cost, idiot!!"

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='262210' date='Aug 14 2008, 10:07 AM']you'll have to decide on a price mate, or you'll have limited interest. how much did you pay for it?[/quote] That's a good point Kev. I paid about £800 for it including shipping etc. Not interested in trying to make a profit. I'd ideally like say £750 for it.

    Morning rjb. Well what's your price range? I don't really want to lose much money on this.

    Sorry guys was a bit misleading when I said theres paint off the bridge, its just off the screws on the saddles.

    [quote name='Galilee' post='261722' date='Aug 13 2008, 04:55 PM']Hmmm, even £650 might be a bit full, I've seen them go for £450 on Ebay. I think they're intrinsically worth more than they're making at the moment, so I'd be inclined to hang onto it if you can.[/quote] Ouch [url="http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p1308081824zx9.jpg"][/url]

    [quote name='rjb' post='261578' date='Aug 13 2008, 02:43 PM']Registering my interest. I'll PM when the pics and price are up...[/quote] Thank you mate. Will take photos tonight & get them up. If I deff do decide to sell hopefully the members of this forum can help me decide a price based on the info given.

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='261540' date='Aug 13 2008, 01:47 PM']£600-£650 in the current market i reckon, could be wrong though... pics would help [/quote] Ohh dear OK will get some pics up later.

    Hey guys I've recently acquired a thumb bass, however tbh I'm not too sure if it is the bass for me. After a good session on my MIM jazz bass last night it got me thinking if I should have held on to my cash & upgraded the jazz instead. So here for now is just a feeler for this Warwick... It's a 2003 BO Thumb 5 string. Ovangkol neck & body, 2 band EQ, 24 brass frets etc etc. However if I do sell it it will go with a Just A Nut 3 instead of JAN2. The bass is in good condition with only a couple of small dings, it could benefit from a decent set up though. There is some fret wear (if marks on the frets count?) the MEC logos on the pickups have rubbed off a bit & a little bit of paint has come off the bridge. Therefore guys I was also just wondering if anyone would be willing to give an approx value for this bass as I do not want to slap a price tag on it parallell to a completely clean example. I bought this bass having been told it was in "near mint condition." Near mint condition - No Good condition? Yes. So help with pricing etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Joe

    Just had a look, your right!! That's insane!! The sparkle finish looks crap imo, it's not a finish that I would personally associate with a bass from that era either so I don't think I would quite be feeling the vintage vibe. Would be beautiful in black or sunburst.
  24. joe_bass
    Any idea what material you want to replace with?
  25. joe_bass
    Declared at a much lower price??
