Just been in Soundslive shop Newcastle today and they have a very nice Roadworn P bass in Salmon pink/Fiesta red for £679. Not sure if it's a massive saving but if you're in the market for a new one (is there such a thing for a RW bass?) then it plays very nicely, neck is a bit chunky but I had no issue with it and I normally play basses with skinny necks. Acoustically it felt like a nice bass and seemed well put together even if the action could have been dropped a bit (normal shop procedure not to set them up too low). Just sayin' and I'm in no way affiliated with Soundslive.

They played a theatre near me recently and I was severely tempted to go along... till I realised the ticket price was £17! Not blaming the band/bassist (if he is indeed a BCer) but £17 for a tribute band seemed a bit steep or am I out of touch with ticket prices and/or how good this band are?

[quote name='LawrenceH' post='1029590' date='Nov 19 2010, 04:44 PM']No because the neck on a MM jazz is bound! Also I'd put money on those inlays being stickers. They just don't look quite right.[/quote] Yep, gotcha! It just looks a semi-convincing headstock but agreed that the inlays look a bit 'flat' and no binding!

Is it the correct headstock (ie neck) but with a refinished body? Just looks to me (not that I've seen that many MM Jazz basses) that the headstock decals and MM sig look about right!

Woo Hoo I was in before the lock!

As I see it; the right seller, the right item, the right price with the right buyer looking = sale... simples! If any of the above are missing from the OPers sale thread then you get no sale! Heaven knows I'm sitting with cash burning a hole in my pocket for the right bass (MM/EB Sterling in sunburst in case you were wondering) but unfortunately a Schecter isn't going to float my boat. Take a chill pill and stop shouting.

Something niggling away in my memory banks about this one! Safe to say a truss rod costs next to nowt (even if you get one from Warwick), which begs the question why hasn't one of the previous owners of this bass had it repaired... especially as it is so easy to do! Thinking about it, I'm sure that one of the owners of this bass asked questions about the truss rod over on the Warwick forum and if they haven't had it fixed then safe to say it's stuck and may well need the fingerboard off (or a replacement neck).

Listing pulled!

I'm sure Mark is a thoroughly nice guy but he is a businessman; you bought the item you owe the money, you don't pay the money you get taken to court... simples! There will no doubt be payment protection plans/schemes available but they don't come free.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1026106' date='Nov 16 2010, 05:40 PM']I assume they probably do all that on request.[/quote] I'd 'assume' nothing! Not that I suspect either of us will be buying it.

I replaced both of my aggie DB112 horns in aroun half hour. Cost about six quid from eBay I would check the x-over for dry solder joints as I had the same problem couple of years back[/quote] You had the same problem with Aggie DB112 cabs? Hmmm are we talking common defect?

re. the warranty. Unfortunately I'm the 2nd owner! I'll take the driver out and see if I can find visible evidence and/or see if I can trial a replacement tweeter to trial/test it. Cheers all.

There's only one amp for the Funk... and it starts with a 'T'!

Tweeter has started making some none too pleasant noises (other than the nasty noise I make when I play), is it a case of replacing the whole unit (and do I need an Aguilar part) or are there replaceable components? I'll go off and do a search on t'interweb but wondered if anyone had first hand experience!

I need to source a pair of powered speakers for installation/use in my school, the budget is a max £650. I've decided to go for a pair of active 12's as they are 'probably' better suited to the environment; 10's might be found lacking to fill the Hall (not massive but medium/large) and 15's are likely to be a bit too large/heavy to be lifting off the wall mounts and storing. The cabs may also be required to act as monitors for larger school productions (my RCF system will do the FOH). Looking at Soundslive's site (my local supplier but I'm not tied to have to use them), I've narrowed it down (based on budget and 12" drivers) to the following pairs of cabs. Behringer Eurolive B412 DSP @ £641 DB Cromo 12 @ £600 HK F.A.S.T. 12 @ £649 Wharfedale Titan 12 @ £600 Has anyone any experience of any of these cabs or have I missed an obvious winner that would trump the above? The cabs would need to be purchased new so unfortunately 'used' cabs, no matter how good, are not an option! Many thanks for taking the time to respond.

[quote name='Faithless' post='1015644' date='Nov 7 2010, 08:10 PM']What's the cheapest and the lightest combo out there? (head and cab must have an option of being separated if needed) I want something really portable. (head + lil' cab, something around 1x10) I really dig the Ibanez Promethean thing, but, 600 pounds for new.. Or am I just too naive maybe? [/quote] I think it's a case of choosing any 2 from 3 with 'lightest/cheapest/best sounding' If you want lightest + cheapest you aren't necessarily going to get the best sound available; you could however get lightest + best sounding but it won't be cheap! There is a Tecamp combo for sale on BC @ £600 which will give you a 500w 2x12 Neo that is easily transportable 'with a car' (no good for long distance public transport), I'd think that as far as light/loud/good goes, it's about the best on BC at the moment.
