  1. Good points ! My Washburn status is a bit deceptive though . Whenever anyone sees that they say what a lovely bass , followed by “ that’s heavy !”🙂
  2. This seems to be the best ,and I’m tempted . Of course I don’t know if I’d have a chance due to the shipping costs etc and whether the seller would ship to uk .
  3. Measurements for the fender seats:( each seat ) 48cm tall/ 35 cm across / 31 cm depth ..approximately !
  4. I have a vester custom shop fretless copy of a Warwick thumb . Great bass ,apart from being a little on the heavy side . Great neck and action. A couple of basschatters saw it and were mightily impressed . Never heard any bad comments on bc about vesters .
  5. Thanks for that ! 🙂 I did have a 5 string many moons ago , and hardly used it in rehearsals or a band situation. Of course I as told by all and sundry “ you don’t need a 5 string “😮‍💨 In one of the bands I was in , the 2 guitarists were putting hair bands on my bass for 2 or 3 songs ,giving a capo effect . I assume that if I had a 5 string or was confident enough to go BEAD everything would have been more immediate. On one occasion it was funny when one of the guitarists in one of the other bands heard me playing an open B on my 5 string “ what note is that ?” 😆 All this was in rock cover bands. The good thing I guess by lounging around at home , is that it’s either BEAD or EADG basses whatever mood I’m in 🙂
  6. I’ve seen many of those basses , and had a hohner cricket bat . It’s just that it’s hard to find a fretless version these days .
  7. I have a question for all the beard twitchers out there regarding this subject .. I have one of my basses setup b-e-a d . Would that work with all the other tunings mentioned above ?? with all the variations it can get a bit Lionel messy , so for me ( who is not bothered about bands anymore) it’s either standard tuning or BEAD .
  8. I received an email from gear4 music of sorts yesterday . It was a blank reply to the last conversation I had with them . So I looked on their website and the price is now £674 for the 5 string in green . Trouble now is , I’ve been messing around on my Warwick corvette which I got setup to B-E-A-D a couple of months ago. I’m now thinking that maybe I don’t need a 5 string after all .😮‍💨 I’m loving the feel of the Warwick ,and think I’m too set in my ways for a 5 string now . I think I’ll just be making more Les Dawson impressions if I got the extra string . Although the Warwick I s the weight of the buffalo 🦬 it’s not too bad sitting down . I was gonna sell it and get the Cort ,but it seems better to stick with what I have .
  9. I watched a couple of his YouTube clips a few months ago. While initially not minding , he seems a bit Peter Kay ..everywhere and annoying. I got bored fairly quickly. I might watch one more of his YouTube clips and see if he can be accepted into my YouTube feed. As for Scott Devine ; I watched a lot of his stuff years ago and had a lot of time for him . Unfortunately I can’t be bothered with him anymore. He has those clickbait captions now,which I will not click on ! Lazy and annoying! I even managed to watch a recent one where his voice was dubbed American! Is that an AI thing ?!? I posted that on his comment section and I did get a polite reply . I stopped watching Charles Berthoud’s stuff for a while . Too much slapping all the time imho. I’ll probably watch him again in a few months or so ,to see if much has changed on his channel. That can be an issue with YouTube from time to time , when they put a certain person everywhere who is really annoying like James Corden and you can’t find the remote quick enough without using expletive language and hatred .
  10. I phoned G4M ,and they noticed the difference in price but they said that unfortunately they can’t reduce it and is £749. No problem with the service ,and the chap I spoke to did look to see etc. I told him I’ll wait and see if the price does go down . No biggie worse things in life .
  11. I received a reply to my query from G4M today , stating that while it’s not typical, the costs of paints and finishes differ. It’s not something I desperately need , so I just asked if the price drops again to please let me know . It would’ve been a birthday present to myself in December ,or today being Black Friday etc .The black is nice too , but I’ll see what gives.
  12. These were a big deal in the unplugged era of the ‘90s . Bargain ! Glwts
