Now reduced by £30 to £269, bargain for someone. Just decided to buy a new bike otherwise I would have bought it this morning!

iIRC they did a steampunk bass a while ago and also a CS rusted metal finish - not for me but at least they do fun and different things just for the sake of it, not many instrument builders do that really.

Here's a custom Fortress they did a while ago, had to stop looking at it and was a little relieved when it sold. They did a few variations on this, all looked beautiful: https://shop.warwick.de/en/Instruments/Electric+Basses/Warwick+Custom+Shop/Fortress+Modelle/Warwick+Custom+Shop+Fortress,+5-String+-+Nirvana+Black+Transparent+Satin+-+16-3210

Yup, 5k Euro. Somebody somewhere will buy it and have a unique (and incredibly ugly) bass, thankfully it will be a collector and the bass will never see a stage so there's zero chance of actually having to look at it in the flesh. Check this out for a better example of the Showroom section: https://shop.warwick.de/en/Instruments/Electric+Basses/Warwick+Showroom/Warwick+Custom+Shop+Streamer+Stage+I,+Lefthand,+4-String+-+Vintage+Sunburst+High+Polish+-+18-3769+_+Showroom+Model

Warwick do regular one-off showcase basses in their Showroom section: https://shop.warwick.de/en/Instruments/Electric+Basses/Warwick+Showroom Most of them are more extravagant versions of standard basses, some are a bit experimental and out there while the odd one (like this) is pretty awful looking. You can buy it if you really want and have 5000 Euros to throw away, I wouldn't recommend it rhough.

Technically my daughter's bass but I have the odd little play on it every now and again, not a great pic but I can't be bothered taking another one! It's a Tanglewood Elfin 30" scale version with My Little Pony decals (Rainbow Dash if anybody is interested), sounds pretty good for what it is and was about £65.

If it was fretless I would have bought it instead of posting it here!

I remember reading a magazine review of those and they stuck in my mind because of the headstock thingy and the distinctive scratchplate. Looks like a nice bass.

Curly cable?

I was just joking pal, I'm sure Jeff has a lot of respect for Phil's 'tache.

Is that an old Wasburn Hammerhead lurking around in the background there, the one with the metal plate in the headstock? Always wondered about those.

I think he said "Phil Lynott had a white man's moustache" or something..............

Korean Spector with EMG pickup and a Fishman piezo bridge, don't come up that often and 5 string too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Guitar-Spectorcore-5-String/192579234297?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49131%26meid%3D544b642e9114468689fa1eb9b9b214d1%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D222745183856%26itm%3D192579234297&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Good to see Jeff pairing the tried and tested jeans & Hi-Tec combination with a rather unorthodox (some might say daring) vest and blazer counterpoint there, I like it when musicians push the boundaries and really stretch themselves.

"You'll have to knock a tenner off if it needs tuning pal"

Seema like a great deal if you're local, less so if you pay the £25 courier fee he wants: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westfield-bass-guitar/302780954729?hash=item467f26b869:g:LbsAAOSwqUdbLYI9

I think that's the one I was looking for, belting performance.

Gail Ann Dorsey is fantastic, brilliant but humble player with a beautiful voice.

It doesn't use an Eminence driver though so that statement is fundamentally wrong. In fact it was only yesterday that someone spotted the driver he used, hence why the thread is still going. As you were.

I like it! Mind you I had one of the gold leaf Curbows and liked that too:

I think most people are just interested in getting an idea of what it sounds like and how it would perform without actually buying one, they look decent and the prices are low enough to make them tempting as an impulse purchase.

Looks like it, they're £27 each online: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QTX-902-509-Replacement-Speaker-Driver-for-QS-Series-Speaker-8-Ohm-Impedance-12-/401109577747?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10 I'm guessing these aren't some miracle driver that outperforms speakers more than double their price then?

Weight listed as 14kg, 1-2kg heavier than a Barefaced 1x12.

Piezo-free version is a tenner cheaper: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DHC-Bass-Lightweight-1x12-Bass-Guitar-Cab-Hand-Made-in-the-UK/323270157922?hash=item4b44672662:g:nAgAAOSwC6da9KLO Well he's already sidestepped the handle issues! Seeing as there's not much in the way of lightweight cheap cabs (maybe the Eden EX at £199?) they might make a good entry point for someone on a budget who wants a compact cab or two. Who's going to take the plunge and order one then? Oh and no speakons = ☹️
