[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1413583499' post='2579983'] My poor attempt at a tribute is here: [/quote] If that is your 'poor' attempt... I'd hate to see a good one! [size=4] [/size]

You'd never confuse the tone of a Thumb with that of a P or J bass. [size=4]You'd never confuse the look of a Thumb with that of a Fender derivative bass. [/size] [size=4]You'd never confuse the build quality of a Thumb with that of a Fender bass. [/size] [size=4]Those three aspects alone will polarise opinion and those that like them 'love' them, those that don't... generally hate them! [/size] I've owned a few NT Thumbs and never had neck dive and I think the sound suits some music superbly, do I own one now.... no. I find the small body/top horn means that the first position is just too much of a stretch 'with my strap length'. Some folks never have the same problem as me.

Lovely bass John (shame about the colour... just for me mind)! Oddly enough I've just made the connection that I heard (not saw as I was seated around the corner in the bar) you a month or two back in Beadnell. Cracking musicianship and harmonies, wish I'd popped my head around and said 'Hello'! -
For sale: SADOWSKY NYC 4-string - 3.7Kg - WITHDRAWN
warwickhunt replied to Apothem's topic in Basses For Sale
It's just an unbiased observation/piece of advise but if were you I'd pull it off ebay. At £1700 on ebay if someone places a single bid and wins it you'll pay a minimum of £170 fees (new min 10% fee) and if they pay via paypal it'll hit you for those fees as well (is it 5% or similar?). Not trying to haggle or knock you down, that is just a simple observation, just in case you weren't aware of the new fee structure. -
You're comparing NT German models with BO Korean jobbies... no justification for the original silly price but this isn't one of the neck-thru basees!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1412706068' post='2571210'] One brand of bass I've never owned... and now I've got Warwick GAS!! Which one would you recommend for beefy, bouncy rocky, hard-playing with a picky, hefty loudy soundy in a three-piece bandy? [/quote] Stage I Streamer!

What makes you say it is an '81 JV bass?

No, in fact I used it with a Godin SA guitar (nylon string), however it is the same unit as used for bass (you can switch between guitar/bass by holding down two buttons on start up).

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1409266595' post='2538243'] sign you're getting old John! [/quote] I was old when this was new... still the same old sh*t! [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1409264862' post='2538237'] Yeah, I have noticed an airier, hollower, and sometimes boomier tone when using very lightweight neo driven cabs. I thought it was just in my head. [/quote] BEWARE... the experts assure us there is no difference [size=4] [/size][size=4] but 'some of us' think there is a conspiracy! [/size]

Bump and reduced to £150

Is your cab so precious/rare that it needs to be retired... if it is a cab you are used to and like the tone then why change? You will be able to find quite a few cheaper, lighter cabs but the tone 'will' be noticeably different to what you are used to; in particular the variation in tone if going to Neo loaded cabs!

Martin bought and paid for my Zoom 'handy-recorder' nice and promptly. No probs here!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1409057325' post='2535855'] I've got Schaller or Schaller clones on all my basses and guitars. Never had a problem. They're all positioned so that the strap buttons sit in the cups, so the retaining button has no stress on it, it just keeps the button in the load-bearing cup. The only thing I have to do every now and again is a little nut tightening, though most of the clone straplocks have two nuts on each straplock, so the second one locks the first one. [/quote] Ditto. 25 years using them and the original strap fittings that I have on my strap at present have been transferred between two straps in that time (first one the leather wore through) and no failure as yet. As has been highlighted, I have the button on the bass resting in the cup... can't imagine why you'd do it any other way mind!
