    I know, I have had Pro 1’s and just never got on with them, but the Pro2 is so nice to play, so light, ergonomic and I think punchy. In its own right the Pro2 is a great bass.

    For many years I use to play and love a Warwick Dolphin Pro2, it served me very well. I know they have an interesting heritage, best summed up as ‘The bastard child of Warwick’ (coined by someone else), I sold it on here years ago. Fast forward to now, I found locally on Farcebook marketplace a pretty much identical model, slightly different colour scheme but same vintage. Picked it up last night from a lovely chap at a reasonable price, so brought it home. Fair to say, I could see the potential but it obviously hadn’t had a lot of love over the years. I fully stripped it back removed all hardware, and deep cleaned it, polished the frets (which were not worn too much at all, result) oiled the fretboard, several times. Checked truss rod moved. Tightened up all the machine heads, which were loose. Adjusted the nut as it had a bit of card under the G string. The jack socket needed replacement too, again, luckily I had one in my spares cupboard. Luckily I had a new replacement bridge in my spares as the original was very manky and all the saddles were corroded. I then put a new set if Warwick red label strings on it and did a full Warwick set up, stage by stage, ( forgot how much I enjoyed setting up Warwicks). All in all, 4 hours work, a new bridge, set of strings, a replacement jack socket and a lot of lemon oil and cleaners and duraglit later, and I have a sensational bass to show for my troubles, it has come out better than expected. Very pleased with the result, a really playable bass, and a world apart from what I started with.

    Hi All, Now withdrawn. I bought this brand new and installed a Stinger77 pre amp in it, which is such a good mod. It is in as new condition, plays and sounds great. Trouble is I only play 5’s now, had thought it would be fun to have a four again, but basically don’t use it. priced to sell, can post, have packaging etc at cost. Cheers Stuart

    First gig back with new singer, 3 months work to get a set together, and a Boxing Day Gig at Herefords premier live music venue. All the hard work paid off and we pulled it off, landlord happy, punters had good time, was good to get back out there!

    Hi All, Whilst sorting out some stuff in the loft I came across a box of NOS miniature bass guitar models, great ornaments, I just never got around to using them, so thought they might be good fun for Christmas! Each one comes in it's own box, complete with stand. I was thinking £14.50 each inc P&P to mainland UK or make me an offer for the lot? I have: Sting Bass SOLD Flea Modulus Jones Alembic (this one has a missing tuner so £12.00 posted?) Trujillo Bass Sixx Ovation (this one has two missing tuners so £10.00 posted?) Yin & Yang Bass B Collins Bass Geddy Lee Bass Phil Lynott Bass Unkown Bass (Silver with Blue Flame) Forgive my rubbish photography, they are lovely looking curios.

    Hi All, I am doing more backing vocals but just cant hear myself with the onstage monitors. I was wondering is there an IEM solution for this? Only issue is that it is only vocals going through the pA

    Hi guys, I have acquired a lovely 2004 US Stingray but some of the grub screws in the saddles are a little chewed and I need to replace them. I have googled t a lot and cannot find the correct size anywhere! I have emailed strings and things but had no response. I bought some 3mm screws but these are too small, I am guessing it must be an imperial size/ Help!

    Now £225.00! I have way too many Rays, and I have just bought a US Stingray 5 so need to sell one to recoup some funds and make space in the rack. I bought this from 40hz on this very forum, and it is a really nice bass to play, and what a colour! Here is 40Hz original sale thread: I have put a new set of EB strings on and replaced the missing grub screw, all set up well and intones properly. Selling it for what I paid, but wont be heartbroken to keep it either (but alas, would be loft bound as my music room is out of room!)
  17. vmaxblues
    Where did you get the replacement bridge from?
  18. vmaxblues
    No, they sound fab, what I mean is will it work with two pickups?
  19. vmaxblues
    As the title, I have installed these incredible pre amps before in the standard single pickup Rays, not sure how they will work in a HH bass?
  20. vmaxblues
    Did a trade today with Kier, all went very smoothly, great guy to deal with, top gear, well looked after.
  21. vmaxblues

  22. vmaxblues
    I know! Would post at cost if you wanted?
  23. vmaxblues
    Silly price reduction!
  24. vmaxblues
    Final price reduction to £300
