    [quote name='Spaced' timestamp='1472830629' post='3124623'] Welcome. Fan of ...AJFA are you? [/quote] Thanks and gee, how did you guess? Actually it's not my fav Metallica album due to the complete lack of bass but it has some cracking tracks and I do love Dyerseve and To Live Is To Die
  2. [quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1472833320' post='3124660'] Yeah, but no one seems interested enough to buy it! [/quote] If I had the money and didnt have 8 basses already, i would be all over it!

    thanks for the warm welcome guys. yeah seems to be a great forum. will try and update with some pics of my bevy of beauties before too long
  4. Up for sale (no trades thank you) is a white Yamaha TRBX305 in excellent condition. I cant see any marks but it is a used instrument so I can hardly call it "mint". This is a great instrument for the money with the on-board EQ and tone shaping providing loads of flexibility as well as Yamahas usual high level of quality and playability. I have upgraded this with Schaller straplocks but will include the originals with the sale. Will come with a soft case. Pickup prefered but can deliver/meetup within a 50 mile radius of DY3 - i am also frequently in the Stoke area. I know I am new here but I have been buying and selling on ebay for 10 years with 100% feedback over 500+ transactions so like to think I am pretty reliable in my descriptions when selling - check out my profile on ebay - [b][i]justmyfourstringsandme[/i][/b] Price dropped to £175
  5. Thanks for the kind words guys. I would like to think I have priced this to sell quickly...
  6. One Of the sexiest basses I have seen and heard!!!
  7. Yeah double P Vantages are very rare and this is the first one I've seen with 2 Ps and a set back. Sadly the bridges in the set necks are totally naff and the rest of the hardware isn't up to much either. However I think they still have the dimarzio pups so shouldn't be terrible. I am lucky enough to have a 1980 Vantage double P but mine is the top of the range model with neck thru, 18v active EQ. I changed the EQ for an Aguilar OPB3 and the pups for SD 1/4lbers, now it is an absolute tone monster!😈
  8. Re. The action, I own an '80 Vantage that had that sort of action with the saddles in the lowest position. I say "had" because I ended up routing a recess for the bridge to sit in so it was then flush with the body and allowed me to get the action low enough for my liking.
  9. Beautiful bass! You don't see many wenge necks. Absolute bargain at this price!!
  10. really surprised this hasnt shifted already. I have the 5 string version and think these are cracking basses for the money! Deal with Ben with confidence - he's a top bloke.
  11. '08 German built Warwick Corvette $$ for sale, upgraded with brass J.A.N III and Schaller straplocks This is a killer and super versatile bass thanks to the coil taps and the active/passive switching and the active preamp. Try before you buy is welcome and recommended, Can deliver for petrol money within 50mile radius of DY3 West Mids. No trades thanks, I am trying to thin the herd! Shipping available within mainland UK – will be shipped in a hardcase with plenty of extra packaging. UK mainland shopping, with insurance will be £25. I know I am new here but I have been buying and selling on ebay for 10 years with 100% feedback over 500+ transactions so like to think I am pretty reliable in my descriptions when selling - check out my profile on ebay - [b][i]justmyfourstringsandme[/i][/b] [b]Features:[/b][list] [*]Select swamp ash body [*]Corvette body shape [*]Ovangkol neck [*]Dual MEC humbuckers [*]3-way coil tap switches for hum cancelling, single coil, or parallel/series pickup operation [*]Bell brass frets [*]High-quality components [/list] [b]The good: [/b][list] [*]It's a German built Warwick Corvette $$! [*]The nut has been upgraded to a brass Warwick Just A Nut III [*]The straplocks have been upgraded to Schaller [*]Fretboard and frets have been cleaned and oiled/polished respectively. [*]All hardware and electronics are original and function perfectly, with the exception of the upgraded straplocks, nut and the volume pot(see below) [*]Excellent cosmetic condition – one or two very minor marks but with a swamp ash body this is almost impossible to avoid [/list] [b]The not so good:[/b] When I bought the bass it wasn't in the best shape cosmetically so I have refinished the bass using the same finish that Warwick use in their factory – they call it "natural oil" but if you read up on this it is actually a melted wax that they use instead of oil. As you can see from the photos, I would like to think I have done a pretty decent job of refinishing it but there are some minor things worth noting(I want to be as honest as possible here as that is how I like to do business):[list] [*]The neck socket is not completely flush with the sides of the neck – doesn't seem to effect sustain at all [*]There is minor discolouration either side of the neck from the refinishing – not always noticeable, certainly not in playing position, but worth mentioning. [*]There are some minor white marks on the plastic cavity cover – ive tried removing them but cant. [*]The cavity cover is not 100% flush with the body – see photo [*]There is some minor discolouration to the black headstock [/list][list] [*]The volume pot has a problem where by it outputs zero volume for a very small range of it's motion – from where 95% volume to 85% volume should be, there is no output at all – in both active and passive modes. Ideally the volume pot needs replacing but Warwick want silly money for one and realistically, if you just leave the volume on max or <85%, you wont have a problem. [/list] [indent=1]So what we've got here is a German built Warwick $$ with some very nice upgrades and in very good nick but with some minor cosmetic issues and a slightly dodgy volume pot.Ive taken all this into account when setting the asking price, which includes a cheap but perfectly serviceable hardcase.[/indent] [url="https://postimg.org/image/c3jx2zlnx/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/o6p8qjwq5/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/52vxa7jvx/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/lrxd64gh9/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/x5jwhbqzx/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/bx67zwcj1/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/jr6tlakbx/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/hb507g299/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/xnf1x6gkt/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/sq62pt3zh/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/gct8iweb1/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/x1uoetawd/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/6uthiusml/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/w24dj3vql/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/vqmx6cfal/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/3rsrfhdnx/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/tomfs3hbh/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/lkebncuwd/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/dsxlosqr1/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/sqao3jtd9/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/ihi6xq5bh/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/c531nw299/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/7x89f50tp/"][/url]

    Howdy folk. My name is Chris and I am a bassaholic. Been playing bass for about 18years now though it's been on and off over that period. Have built up a collection of some nice basses over my time though: Yamaha TRB5II 1990 Warwick Streamer 5 string (neck thru with Barts) '97 Warwick Corvette (German), Wenge neck, Bubinga body Status Series 1 5 String (modded with Aguilar OBP-3) Yamaha TRBX305 Stuart Spector Design NS-94 1980 Vantage VA-900B (modded with SD 1/4lbers and Aguilar OBP-3 running at 18V) 1982 Ibanez Roadster RS824BB Sadly my playing doesnt reflect the amazing basses I own but I just love bass guitars and do enjoy playing each of them when I get the time. I am currently looking to thin down this collection and start devoting more time to my playing inc. getting some lessons. I'm located in Sedgley, West Mids.
