    [quote name='lobematt' timestamp='1361029753' post='1980039'] I'm a bit worried about going for a 115, don't want it to sound to muddy! [/quote] Don't let the size of the driver influence your choice. I've known 2x10's that sound like someone has put a foam pad between the drivers and the grill and last weekend at the NE Bass Bash, a certain 'Bass Doctor' nearly pierced the ears of everyone within hearing distance when he played through his 2x15 cab (it was easily the toppiest cab in the room [when used with his GK amp] and not a tweeter anywhere in sight).

[/quote] Nah, not for me that model; added to which I have sold full blown USA Sonus basses for that kind of money!

    Cheeky plug but I've just started a thread with a Zon Sonus case for sale... unless someone wants to sell me their Sonus to put in the case.
  5. warwickhunt
    This is totally unlikely to fit any other bass but a Zon Sonus (my Streamer/Dingwall/Sterling/Sadowsky etc. won't fit). Decent condition but it is probably 15+ years old so not mint (there are various little nicks out of the leather along the spine where you stand it down on the ground); only point of note is that one of the little brass button feet off the 'back' of the case (i.e. not one of the four on the edge where you normally stand it) is missing, this doesn't affect the case use in any way. All of the catches work though I don't have the key to lock it. £85... or I'll buy your Sonus to fit into this case!

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1360702748' post='1975153'] Ebay returned my money from his paypal account in full. I got the bass for free. [/quote] This can and does happen IF the seller refuses to respond to communications from ebay/paypal. Burying one's head in the sand doesn't work as a defence.
  7. warwickhunt
    I've personal experience of buying on ebay and items being 'not as described' which ebay have found in my favour, however... according to ebay/paypal I have had to return the item to the seller 'at my cost' in order to receive a refund of the purchase price + shipping. In the end the seller lost the cost of shipping the item to me and I lost in having to return a misdescribed item; you quickly learn to ask very probing questions BEFORE you buy!

    Is a pink one worth £500+ MORE or is mine too cheap? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Precision-Bass-1954-Paisley-Reissue-CIJ-2002-/330872571195?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d098ac53b

    It seems an obvious comment but be sure to try the neo loaded cabs before you buy. They are/can be significantly lighter in weight but I 'personally' have not found one that I like the tone of over my slightly weightier traditional drivers (I'm talking x2 1x12 cabs).
  10. warwickhunt
    I'm guessing it'll be a Star bass.
  11. warwickhunt
    Picture?
  12. warwickhunt
    I have a main bass... which changes every couple of months!
  13. warwickhunt
    It might help you Dan if you mention where you are based.
  14. warwickhunt
    Welcome Darren... always nice to have a newbie to swell the ranks of the Northern contingent.
  15. warwickhunt
    Massively undervalued basses and a bargain price with the proper MM case.

    [quote name='geoham' timestamp='1360261297' post='1967720'] Warwickhunt / Mark_Bass How long a set would you normally play? [/quote] 2 x 45 but tbh it isn't set in stone and I've no problem playing longer, especially if it is a good gig... I don't consider the 'playing time' as something I get paid for; I get paid for humping the gear in and out of the gig and getting home at silly o'clock (and dealing with all of the other shyte ).
  17. warwickhunt
    Shameless plug but I have the 'Vintage' Seymour Duncan brand new in the box (never fitted) available for about 50% of the new price. Got to be worth a punt and even if you don't like it then you can sell it and get your money back... a free trial essentially!
  18. warwickhunt
    My present covers band charge minimum £250 for a standard pub gig (exception 'possibly' being small pubs when we want to fill up the diary and still minimum £220). Wedding gigs are a minimum of £500 but that is doing the gig with our normal PA and no silly arrive mid-afternoon; anything over and above that is reflected in a price bump.
  19. warwickhunt
    You need to price mate otherwise it'll get pulled!

    [quote name='PJT' timestamp='1360100857' post='1964944'] Thanks guys, for organizing this. Great to meet you all. Good company and my son and I were made to feel very welcome. Jay-James sends his apologies for monopolizing your rig, he lost track of time (typical 14 year old) and I was too busy talking to realise!!! Just give me a shout if you ever want to try the Steinberger [/quote] ...and you joined BC to say that, nice touch.

    [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1360101323' post='1964956'] I wonder why this has had eleven bids up to £122 when the seller clearly states that there is a reserve of £500? [/quote] It'll only get bid up in the increments that ebay sets and if folks are only placing small 'taster' bids then it'll stay fairly low. £550 for the body and neck alone... Hmmm!
  22. warwickhunt
    Seems not a lot of money for what it is.
  23. warwickhunt
    From where I stood I couldn't hear the Aguilar lacking anything that the Walkabout had... BUT that's not to say that it was any better! I think you need to sweet talk Dee into letting you try the Aggie in a gig situation, with your P bass.
  24. warwickhunt
    Final reduction to £450 for the bass; no case/gigbag (it WILL be well packaged if being couriered) no spare pup.
  25. warwickhunt
    He has feedback that indicates that someone in the NE has collected from him and plenty of feedback of people who have posted to and from him so addresses shouldn't be difficult. However, it does seem that he has plenty positives and if there has been talk of divorce etc, then it might be worth trying to get a phone number to speak to him personally and find out what the craic is; there may be a perfectly plausible explanation!
