I've been told that it is unusual in as much as it has a one piece body (they are generally centre-joined 2 piece) and the colour matched headstock was a customer option. This has been owned by me twice and a couple of other BCers and all have had good things to say... odd that we have sold it but there you go! I'm not prepared to haggle on the price (despite there being cheaper Sterlings for sale on Basschat) as this is a cracker and despite downsizing house in the near future, I'd happily hold onto this and flog one of my others! Just been set-up and strung with a fresh set of D'Addario Nickels.

    Manufacturer: Warwick Model: Hellborg Country of origin: Germany The only 'marks' of any kind are very slight mounting bolt scuffs (not visible when rack mounted). I 'really' can't justify having this and my Thunderfunk (downsizing house). I could wax lyrical about the tone but it is all subjective but needless to say if you read the reviews etc. you'll know that this is quality kit and based upon the classic Neve desk preamp.

    Manufacturer: Fender Model: Precision ('54 reissue 'Flower Power') Country of origin: Japan Body: Basswood (...I think!) Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Maple Pick-ups: Original Preamp: N/A Hardware: Original. Bridge - Thrubody. Tuners - reverse Finish: Original Case/Gigbag: N/A but could add 'new' Fender C&G at used cost Extras: N/A Weight: 8lb 10oz Positives: Excellent condition. No worming or dings other than a 2-3mm one near the jack socket. Recessed output socket replaced. Negatives: See above; socket replaced for better quality and non-recessed type. Price: [s]£500[/s] £450 I believe these reissues were only made for a couple of years, so may well be sought after in years to come. I'll include a brand new and boxed Seymour Duncan 'Vintage' pick-up; it wasn't bought for this bass (was to be fitted to a 'Sting' bass) as the pup sounds excellent but it gives you the option if you want to swap around. This model has the more comfortable forearm contouring.

    Manufacturer: Washburn Model: AB30 Country of origin: Japan Body: Flame maple back, front and sides with cream binding inc rear centre Neck: Mahogany gloss lacquer Fingerboard: Rosewood Pick-ups: Original - Bridge piezo + magnetic humbucker Preamp: Original - front mounted Vol/Pan/Bass/Treble controls Hardware: Original - Chrome tuners. Rosewood bridge Finish: Original lacquered Case/Gigbag: Original AB shaped Washburn case Extras: N/A Weight: 6lb 11oz Positives: Excellent condition. No worming or dings other than one small lacquer ding on the side Negatives: Very low output, no idea as to why! Neck strap button moved approx 1" for better strap fitting Price: £250 No idea about the low output; it may be a simple fix, I have no idea, it still works but you need to boost your amp input. It really is a nice bass but I 'must' slim down as we are planning on a house move (downsize).

    Manufacturer: Aria Model: Sinsonidia Country of origin: China Body: Mahogany - tubular, foam covered frame Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Pick-ups: Original - Bridge piezo Preamp: Original - Vol/Tone controls. Enough output to easily drive headphones (not supplied but ANY do) Hardware: Original - Black tuners. Finish: Original Case/Gigbag: N/A Extras: N/A Weight: 4lb 5oz Positives: Excellent condition. Negatives: Depending upon which lead/jack I use the output occasionally drops out unless I tuck the lead up. Battery cover lost but bit of gaffa holds it in fine Price: £160 I've had this a couple of years and it really is an excellent bass with a surprising tonal range; you can go from upright to electric with a tweak of the tone control. I've taken this on holiday on several occasions. The body tubes uncouple and it can be played as a stick bass but the bonus is the headphone drive ability (most active basses don't have enough juice to drive normal headphones).

    [quote name='bw_user_name' timestamp='1349012776' post='1820633'] is yours a japanese one warwick ? [/quote] Yep! [IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/IMG_0877.jpg[/IMG] I've had USA Sadowsky basses before and 'personally' don't think that there is justification in paying almost double for a USA over a Jap Metro.

    Aside from it being fake/genuine, I'd be concerned about that neck fault/crack!
  9. warwickhunt
    £900 is a steal! I'm about to put mine up for sale and I'd not take a penny less than £1250.
  10. warwickhunt
    £1850 is SERIOUSLY extracting the urine! IIRC I sold mine for £700-£800 and that took a while to move.

    Is it specifically the 2002 Ltd you are after? They are a lot less common (and expensive) compared to the standard FNA Jazzman and the only real difference is the fancy body woods on the Ltd... save yourself 50% of the value and get the standard FNA JM.

    This bass is destined to haunt me! Just as I'm considering selling a couple of basses, along comes my old Zon which I'd have back in a jiffy!
  14. warwickhunt
    It never ceases to amaze me how cheap these Sterlings go for! They are a stonking bass and if I didn't already own two I'd have a punt on this one... in fact if this is an uber-light one then I might take this as well.
  15. warwickhunt
    I've owned a few old Warwicks and I've never had a JAN that rattled or buzzed!

    [quote name='surfguy13' timestamp='1347967267' post='1807223'] What is the weight and is it well balanced on a strap? [/quote] I've had one of these USA basses and they are a featherweight and the balance is perfect... no association with the seller!

    Bought a quality speaker cable off Martin; great comms and promptly delivered, top fella.

    Well I'm signed up and waiting for pics... you'll need a price as well mate.

    I just powered up my Thunderfunk and one of my Aguilar 12's in prep for a gig tonight (recent change of band so this is my first gig for a month or more) and I have the dreaded 'speaker distortion/crackling'! First thought was a blown tweeter; turned it off but still apparent. I quickly swapped the TF for my spare amp and it was still there, so not my TF going funny, it must be the cab/driver. Grabbed the other 1x12 and swapped the lead out of the back of the other DB12... distortion still apparent! The chances of either both my amps and/or both my speakers generating the distortion are pretty damn slim so that only leaves one culprit... the Speakon speaker lead that I'd been using to test the amps/cabs! I dug out another couple of speaker leads and hey presto no distortion and one very relieved bunny. Amazing how easy it is to think worst case scenario and assume it is going to be a replacement speaker or amp repair. The scary thing is that I have literally just bought a one of OBBM's speaker leads off another BCer (to upgrade my 'lesser' lead that has just failed) and it should be here Mon/Tues.

    I'd have thought possibly late 90's at the very earliest but a lot more likely 00's. There isn't much to distinguish between years after the late 90's but truss rod covers and nut type is generally a give away... and this has an original JAN, which I'd not have expected at all with that later style truss rod cover. I'd say one or the other has been replaced (possibly both) and I'd put money on the nut being a replacement due to the tendency for the later nuts to snap on the end clips. I do have to love the lack of detail about the bass in the listing text; one line out of ten says anything about the bass and even then it is just to tell you it is a SSI with one or two little dings... not a hard sell as such!
  22. warwickhunt
    The serial number is D 1303 not D 130! It is however one of those nice enigmatic 'transition' basses that retains the early sculpted headstock and tuning post grommets but with the later 2 piece bridge.

    [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1347465310' post='1801236'] Have you just sold it Jon? [/quote] No but I'm sure I recognise it!
  24. warwickhunt
    You've literally just bought this bass... yes?
