Love the look and tone of the Thumb bass but can not for the life of me live with the short top horn and subsequent reach to the first position. Like wise I love the idea of a Ric but the big body and lack of forearm contour makes them a no go for me!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1456949832' post='2993995'] It looks more like cocobolo to me. What is the serial? If it is a 2000, the serial checker should have the details:- [url="http://www.warwickbass.com/en/Framus---Support--Serial-Number.html#current_site_id"]http://www.warwickba...current_site_id[/url] [/quote] Agree with the Cocobolo and I bet if you put the serial # in it will throw out the detail further up the thread.

[quote name='moooper' timestamp='1456925074' post='2993570'] Swamp Ash/Bubinga pommele top body Ovangkol neck [/quote] IMHO an office temp at Warwick answers emails... at least I hope it isn't an 'actual' knowledgeable employee! The top could be Bubinga but I have a feeling it is otherwise... but for the sake of argument I'll concede. However, the neck is maple CATEGORICALLY not Ovankol! I've seen plenty of those Warwick email replies and I'd say greater than 50% had a major mistake in them; they generally get the year and month of manufacture right but to be fair I could provide that info (with greater accuracy) as it is part of the serial number you will have provided them with. Nice bass mind.

'girl' in title, youtube clip of someone playing... ah another one!

The neck is glued in... or at least it is supposed to be; whereas this one is decoupling rapidly! Even if you are good with joinery etc. I'd be concerned that there is too much pressure for the neck joint to hold. The proper 'Fly' is a similar shape but a different bass altogether, though I did read about concerns re. the carbon neck/body joints failing (I used to own one).

£2400 seems steep for a modded Jazz. Fair enough, swapping the originals for DiMarzio's is one devaluation but the routing knocks a chunk more off for me.

There isn't the option to reply to wanted ads... ever! Folks have to respond with pm's

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1455924507' post='2983792'] Quite true. You've read the fish pun thread then? Sometimes I don't know what keeps me coming back here. 2 x 10 or 4 x 10? Give me a break! [/quote] Hey! I contributed to that and 10/10/10/10 all vertical makes more sense than 10/10+10/10... that didn't pan out right! :/

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1455924360' post='2983791'] I don't think the fact that you have a new amp is of interest to anybody. Why should it be? Your thoughts once you've tried it out could be though. [/quote] To be fair stevie, there is a thread with 490 THOUSAND BCers showing or discussing what there amp/cab/rig is... now that could be questioned!

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1455923738' post='2983784'] What exactly was the point of that post? [/quote] Highlighting a class D that makes up for what many lack... I need to try one then! You could equally ask what's the point of 90% of the posts on BC?

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1455923721' post='2983783'] Two 2x10s, every time. Simply because I stack them vertically which lets me hear them far better - a 4x10 hits the back of my knees. [/quote] Vertical 4x10 for me as well, makes absolute sense!

I have a feeling you can't refuse to accept paypal... though if it is collection only, that may be an exception. Just don't take a paypal payment then let them collect or to organise their own courier; if having it couriered 'you' need to have the proof it was dispatched. The low bid matter is straightforward - if you have set the start bid at £50 then no bid below £50 will be accepted, any bid above that will be though.

Collection/Delivery - Have you got this nailed down tight? If it is an auction and not a BIN then people can make silly low bids and they will be accepted automatically, likely no decent bids to the last minute (assuming you started the opening bid low). Reserve - If it isn't met, it can be relisted after any tweaks you might want to make.

Lucky to get the return postage paid for! The likes of paypal demand the buyer return the item at their cost before they refund (sadly recent 1st hand experience), even if an item is not as described or damaged!

Ned S worked with John Bolin a few years back and produced what would count as the forerunner to this Radius Wav; light, superb balance and even though it is headed, the 'horn extension' foreshortens the 34" scale neck... even the body shape is a direct take on the Bolin. Ned is a bit of a whizz mind!

Where does it say 11.5lb?
