  1. I think done the right thing swapping my thumb with the sei.(Added a picy of my thumb) i had the thumb for 17 yrs!!!!! but had a accident skiing and my shoulder is painfull wichever bas i wear but the sei sits lovely. ta for advice about single cut, i may try and sell my two fours then get some cash together for a decent 4 string the difference between my sei and my other basss is incredible, i think basses are so much more a part of a msician than other instruments as i was told that buying a hand made bass wuldnt be better than buying a standard factory bass!!!(by a giutarist). popycok! im gonna take my sei into the gallery get some new electronics put on it and maybe get martin to re-finish it as its had a few owners i think, i hope he has time for me as im not buying a new one! ill start saving!!! have another bump on me.!!!!
  2. altough looking at the build diares , I should save up and get one made. Whats the benefit of a sigle cut? regards and major bump on me mate!
  3. wow id love to have this i just been to ilse of wight two weeks ago and swapped my thumb six for a sei flamboyant 6 i cant put the bass down!!!!!! geezer are you interested in= a fender jazz bass plus 4 string cort artisan 4 string plus cash adjustment?

  7. [quote name='The Burpster' post='308825' date='Oct 17 2008, 06:12 PM']Yep like he said^^^^^^^ Make sure you loosen the string off or better stil remove it, oh and PLEASE use the correct size spanner/screwdriver/ allen keys as you'll be well annoyed if you make a mess....! remember they are US made so they are AF sizes not metric.[/quote] cheers guys top remarks ziggyboy.
  8. Hi People , recently bought a cort A4, its got hipshot light tuner pegs on it ,but the E and A string tuners rattle when i play the bass, it doesnt come through the amp but its bloody annoying ad iritating when im practising. does any one know how to tighten them up? kindest regards Ziggy.
  9. Just been on the gallerys website and a warwick NT thumb six retails at.. ..... .. ... .£ 3035.00 mmm maybe its worth us all holding on to our babys!!!!

  11. [quote name='littleal' post='307088' date='Oct 15 2008, 01:57 PM']Thats what i,m gonna do, so as i said she's still up for sale my thumb was a 94 so if any of you guy's have one or similer for sale [/quote] its odd all this talk about warwicks. i love my thumb six tone and my new warwick dolphin sntcs is perfectly balanced. to buy new warwicks stil cost you loads ( new thumb £2300.00!)and the older ones are nicer made. my neck profile on my thumb 6 is super slim slimer than my 5 string and nearly as slim as my cort artisan 4 string!!! the bartolnis just kill anything else that ive played, yeah he neck is long but since i got the comfort strap sorted its alright . i think all makes of everything in general is a little bit cheaper at the mo as no ones got any dough!!! I mean check out the back of my thumb its lovely.!! lets hope they come back in fashion!!!!.
  12. [quote name='BassManKev' post='306684' date='Oct 14 2008, 09:35 PM']dude if you dont like the sei, then you dont like it, dont try n force yourself to, i think what me and others are saying is that you would be very silly to trade it for a thumb bass as the sei is worth WAY more at the moment, but if you really want a thumb again, sell the sei, pocket a load of cash AND get a thumb [/quote] mmmmmmmmmm me just waxed my thumb 6 89 neckthrough bartolini bass and cleaned the fret board!!! alwayws wanted a boutiqui basss!!! gonna wax my dolphin sntcs 5 stringier tomorrow ( Peizo brigde and brass nut) mmmmmm any thoughts boys??? im very confused!
  13. [quote name='chris_b' post='298498' date='Oct 3 2008, 12:12 PM']Try and hear some Bartolinis. I don't have experience of the newer pickups but I have the older versions on 2 of my basses and they sound huge, lots of fat bass oomph![/quote] yeah have to agree with you as i got old bartolinis on my thumb six and they blow all my other pickups away. on my cort i got the bartolini mk1s (i know they are a litle sub standard bartolinis ) but i am well mpressed with them. i got mec on my dolphin theyare nice but my lace sensors on my jazz seem a bit weak. ta for comments just bought some lemon oil!!!! zig.
  14. [quote name='clauster' post='298131' date='Oct 2 2008, 11:07 PM']I use lemon oil on my Warwick's neck every time I change strings and in between too if I've had a particularly sweaty session.[/quote] cool dude gather just plain lemon oil on the neck rub it in then clean it off? cheers zig.
  15. hi guys, i wana know if you guys treat youre bass necks with any oil etc, i got two warwicks and fender jazz and cort artisan. any thoughts on neck oil? And i got a fender jazz bass plus with kubiki pre amp /fender lace sensor pck ups, thinking of changing the pick ups to bartolinis? cheers for youre coments. ziggy.
  16. [quote name='markytbass' post='288295' date='Sep 20 2008, 11:11 PM']That looks well nice.[/quote] cheers gu it plays nice too, paid £320.oo for it (bit tad much) but its mint, there was an a6 on ebay that went for £291!!! think theres a A5 n there at moment. the eq is well impressive and hopefully cause i didnt spend too much i may get to keep my two warwicks and my fender jaz!!!! touch.

  18. hey man i had an a6 and it was gorgeous the only trouble was the neck was a tad bent, and the brigde was a nghtmare. the new a6s are fitted with a better brigde, i just bought a a4 off ebay so ill let you know how it plays friday. the cort i had was well balanced and gorgeous looking. the balnce was better than my thumb six. i sold it and the geezer was well chuffed with t as he srted the neck out watch this thread!!!
