Wonder how many BCers have already been on the phone tonight?

[quote name='P_bass_1983' timestamp='1449600561' post='2925070'] ...can anyone recommend somewhere (preferably south uk) that would give me good trade in prices or better still, do a 4 for 1 straight swap. [/quote] I doubt you'd find anywhere that would do you that deal. Shops have overheads and tax to pay on sales, hence any price offered would be minus tax and the cost for them to have it hanging on the wall (+ the headache if a used bass had an issue when sold). You can generally expect to be offered 25-50% of an instruments worth as a trade in (average used value), you'd get much more selling private!

Southern heathens!

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1449531601' post='2924497'] Yay, someone clarified which NE they're talking about in the title of a thread. Thank you, you've made my night [/quote] ...but it is NOT the NE of anywhere!

When was S Yorks/Hull declared NE?

[quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1449413048' post='2923291'] I have heard good things from the tone pump, just not sure whats best as I never experiment with preamps. Maybe I should! [/quote] If you are buying the likes of the Tonepump used for that price, you can afford to experiment.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1449396904' post='2923082'] Have you already tried to contact the makers with your issues..? Could they not help..? [/quote] Yes Warwick will defo help... they'll sell him a brand new MEC pre circa £250. EMG pups will work with pretty much any active preamp; MEC EMG SD Aguilar... personal taste as to which to go for. Look on the BC sales section, I'm fairly sure there is a Spector Tonepump going for less than £50.

I'd sell the bass... patently at a MASSIVELY reduced price; I'll take it off your hands, as a favour. A replacement MEC can turn up but EMG and Aguilar have worked well for me in the past.

Feedback is your first stop, then you make the call on payment. Paypal is best for you but some (inc' me) don't like it/won't use it. However, if the user is long term with loads of feedback then I'd not be unhappy with bank transfer. Insurance on delivery is dependent on courier; some (parcelforce) don't even give insurance, Interparcel/UPS might cost a nadge more (not always) but you are covered.

Lots of small lightweight bass cabs now available and not withstanding that I've not heard these, I'd say they are pricey when compared to the likes of TKS.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1446310863' post='2898532'] No it isn't [/quote] Correct! LOL Even when I went back and looked it still looked wrong initially.

Rarer than a rare thing... especially as it is LH!

Replacing pups wouldn't in and by itself guarantee you an aggressive modern tone, the tone of a bass is the same of the parts; is your MiM ash, whereas the JV Alder, weight/density/resonance all affect tone.
