Can I post the first gripe with these..... Changed the strings on my White one for some Rotosound Black Nylons. Looks and sounds fantastic, but the Ball Ends are too small to fit into the things on the back of the body, so they all are sticking out What a shame, but I still think it's a great Bass. btw, I took all the plastic protective covering of the pick guard and discovered it was a 3 ply jobby.... White/Black/White - really nice touch for a bass of this value, so I doubt if I will change it as you will also lose the 'R' cut out on the guard

My White P was waiting for me when I got home today and was out the box like a shot ! What a great little bass for the money. Had I paid 3 times the price, I dont think I would have been dissapointed. This one does need a decent set up. The string height is terrible. I think some Black Nylons would look just great against the white body & scratch plate. If anyone finds a replacement scratch plate that fits without mods, please let me know. A nice Tort would look so good. Sound wise, no complaints through the Hartke Kickback 12. Will pump it through the Markbass rig tomorrow. If anyone is dithering about getting one of these.... STOP, go get one

I have one of the early German Built Aliens, built in 1991. No 009. Have never seen another German one in the 9 yrs I've owned mine. It's a cracking Bass & a joy to play. The neck profile is the same as the Thru neck Thumb bass I used to own. Mine has got Lakewood Electronics fitted. Used Korean ones do come up every so often on 'world wide e-bay' around the £800 mark. Not seen a Rock Bass one yet second hand. I also have a Takamine EG512, which although nice, is like comparing a Vintage Fender to a new Squire ( thats bound to up-set someone!!)

Thanks Guys for all your advise etc. It's a tough one ! Warwick Hunt raises a some very valid points. I have also searched past 'for sale' threads with no luck. I can find sales of the Korean made basses, but not a German one. I expect that, any that may still exist are in collectors hands. Dont really know what to do with it. It's wasted in my hands and rarely played. It's not the sort of guitar I'm ever going to gig with and I have a Takamine as well, should the band suddenly turn round and say we are going to put in an acoustic slot. so, 1) out of curiosity & 2) maybe I will sell it. It would be good to know a ball park figure

The Hohner Cricket Bat has now gone to a new home & the Fender is 'pending'. Just the Epi White SE EB3 left.. Offers ?? -
[attachment=69875:DSCF0003.JPG]Any idea's where I can get a true valuation on a old & rare Warwick Alien Acoustic ? I say rare, as this is one of the Original German hand built ones from around 1990.

Great sound and player. Used mostly for the occasional Local Jam. Ser No is 8859750 if that helps anyone. Passive ! Condition wise, a very clean tidy bass for it’s age with only polishing swirling to be seen.

My first experiance of YES was in 1970, was told to go and see them by a music shop owner in Leyton, East London. Saw them at Barking Tech, Tony Kaye on keys. The Yes album had just been released and we rushed out to by it the next day. Could not believe a band could sound so good live ! Been hooked ever since. Probably seen them in excess of 50 times in the last 40 yrs ! Always dreamed of owning a Rickie, and got my first in 1972, a 1963 dot model, twin pick up Mono 4000. I so wish I kept it !! now have a 78. Have got my tickets for them in 2011, although I miss Jon & Rick, saw them a few weeks back in Southend. Rick made a comment that went over Jon's head, then Jon relised what Rick had said and cracked up mid song and had to stop to compose himself... a great night Chris is & will always be my hero, dispite the fact they he kicked Jon out of the band
