  1. No interest in the bass but can't wait for the pics!
  2. [quote name='Sheldon Dingwall' post='994186' date='Oct 19 2010, 10:28 PM']Who are these guys? I appreciate that even though they based it on one of our designs they put a lot of their own design ideas into it.[/quote] [quote name='Happy Jack' post='994224' date='Oct 19 2010, 11:01 PM']Wind up, or genuine?[/quote] If it is genuinely SD, I claim a free (OK discounted) bass for uncovering this fraud! ... No serious I do.
  3. [quote name='spinynorman' post='992973' date='Oct 18 2010, 11:50 PM']I wonder if anyone thinks they're getting a Squier Vintage Modified Precision?[/quote] The wording of the listing certainly snags anyone looking for that model bass.
  4. [quote name='munkonthehill' post='990799' date='Oct 17 2010, 12:51 AM']Hey chaps,,, if you have read any of my previous threads, I am now a massive bongo fan. Only thing is, I really want the stealth version. Mine is sapphire black 4HS with the pearloid pickguard Does anyone fancy a swap? Im not fussed if its the 5 string or the HH version on offer. Cheers Steven[/quote] You see its Bongo all the way... until someone offers you the next big thing that you hadn't thought of!
  5. [quote name='Chris2112' post='992814' date='Oct 18 2010, 09:47 PM']Yep, I bought it last week? Had you been looking at it? I doubt I'll ever let a Kubicki go again (I've made that mistake before!). It's nice to have a slice of 80's technology sitting around. The Kubicki is just so awesome, nothing else sounds like it and I think I'd miss that sound! If you ever want a go for old time's sake, just PM me. EDIT: Molan, got any pictures of the 80's Monarch?[/quote] I was sorely tempted with that but it was just too radical a departure for me. As for the offer of trying your Kubicki; I may well take you up on that.
  6. [quote name='cameltoe' post='992775' date='Oct 18 2010, 09:17 PM']Been a bit rough on the guy here, don't you think? I mean, eventually he's given the receipts to prove where the parts came from, although he could have been accurate from the very start and possibly saved himself a lot of trouble, but having sold things on a whim before I understand the half-assed approached to selling..... only once people start asking questions do you start digging receipts and stuff out to find out yourself. Some people are more organised than others I guess. Reading through this thread though I was a bit taken a back by some of the comments, especially here on BC. Seemed more like the Ernie Ball forum at times. Good luck, I hope someone tries the bass and loves it.[/quote] I'm not about to applaud or argue with your comments but you should appreciate that the description and OP has been altered and amended numerous times; what you say posted atm is not how it started! Not saying right or wrong but we all live and learn.
  7. [quote name='baronfloyd' post='992767' date='Oct 18 2010, 09:08 PM']I'm lovin this bass - it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllly nice. So it is not going to re-appear for sale/trade anytime soon.[/quote] Got to agree. I can't believe that it wasn't snapped up as soon as it came up for sale, then again you'd have to play it to appreciate it!
  8. [quote name='Chris2112' post='992685' date='Oct 18 2010, 08:05 PM']I might actually have to change my mind from my Kubicki to my ACG Harlot singlecut. It's incredible, absolutely fantastic. Could it be the best bass I've ever had? A review will follow soon...[/quote] So that's where Peter's bass has gone... nice one! If you have no love for the Kubicki, I'll give it a home.
  9. [quote name='davidak' post='991904' date='Oct 18 2010, 06:56 AM']£790?? [u]Every Sterling I can see here on BC has price around £1000[/u], so I don`t understand how`s possible this one is still here.[/quote] You aren't looking hard enough mate!
  10. If you read my original post you'll see that I've not criticised the eBayer in any way; I just find it odd that folk feel that it's worth an extra £100 to have somebody else put a Fender tattoo on a copy bass.
  11. [quote name='pete.young' post='991510' date='Oct 17 2010, 07:41 PM']I'm not entirely sure why the peanut gallery is sniggering at this. Seems like an entirely legitimate listing. It's not a million miles from me - does anyone want me to go and check it out?[/quote] Who's sniggering? It'd be pretty shocking if this turned out to be as good as the real thing... scary thought!
  12. [quote name='BottomEndian' post='991543' date='Oct 17 2010, 08:12 PM']Let me guess... you've got a saved search for local basses on eBay? I also noticed this one coming up again in my daily swathe of eBay search notifications. [/quote] Nope... I have a search saved for 'Sting'. I'm a big Paul Newman fan!
  13. So it sold for £400... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160485798902&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Yet it's back up for £450... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160494788728&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Shill bidding or the bass not what it appeared when the buyer collected?
  14. [quote name='edstraker123' post='991206' date='Oct 17 2010, 03:37 PM'][size=4][b]Lodestone Primal Artist 4 String bass in Lodestone gig bag. Mint condition in Trans Maple Flame[/b][/size] This is my current main bass and is that good it outlived 3 Shukers an ACG an Overwater Progress Deluxe and a Musicman Bongo -no mean feat ! It looks absolutely gorgeous and plays like a dream with a set of La Bella Deep Talkin' on it. I'm not really playing at all at the moment so I'm selling to fund mountain bike addiction. website blurb. Contoured for comfort, yet making a definitive style statement, the Lodestone Primal Artist Bass combines traditional and modern materials to steer bass development into an exciting new era. Carefully selected tone woods are used in construction – alder for the body, Indian rosewood for the fingerboard and hard rock maple for the slim, narrow and smooth neck, which features a 2-way adjustable truss rod. The contoured body design enables funk players unprecedented access beneath the strings for dramatic pulls, while the body cutaways combine with a sculpted neck joint to provide easy access to every fret. EMG Hyperactive pickups are used in a classic J configuration, and are amplified by Lodestone high-output, low noise active circuit, with controls provided for volume (x2), bass and treble. These are nearly £1200 new [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/3916...trans-red-.html"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/3916...trans-red-.html[/url] so in this condition is an absolute bargain. Collection from Liverpool preferred but can post at buyers expense.[/quote] I may be completely dim/blind but I can't see a price anywhere... which makes it hard to judge how much of a bargain it is and I'm afraid it also conflicts the forum rules.
  15. I've done A/B comparisons with all sorts of cabs over the last couple years and I'm sticking with my pair (it has to be a 'pair') of DB112's. Smooth and full sounding but can be heard across the stage or even as FOH for pub gigs.
  16. I noticed this guy some time back and he's developed quite a market for his 'modified' Squier/Fender basses. Essentially he trawls eBay picking up cheap Fender copies then slaps a Fender logo on them (he has never attempted to pass the copies off as the real thing), changes the scratchplate then puts them back on eBay for substantially more than he paid for them. I'm not saying what he does is wrong... other than putting Fender logos on Squier basses but it amazes me how many he sells and folks don't have the sense to look at his buying/selling history and suss out they could make a massive saving by doing exactly the same thing for themselves.

  17. ... well nearly. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-string-fan-fret-bass-guitar-/260678933104?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cb1acda70"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-string-fan-fret-ba...=item3cb1acda70[/url]
  18. [quote name='Littlebill' post='972728' date='Sep 30 2010, 02:23 PM']Hi Guys, I'm looking to sell my bass below. It has never been gigged (6 months old). I've attached some pictures, hope they come out ok. Serious offers only!! Any takers? Live in Surrey, near Sutton.

[/quote] I'm sure there used to be but there isn't now! The OP will need to decide on one in the near future to stop it being pulled as per the forum rules.
  19. [quote name='dave_bass5' post='991166' date='Oct 17 2010, 03:02 PM']... or a bit of cash your way if you have Neil's old bass that has the upgrades.[/quote] Sorry, that came to me but was heavier than anticipated so has already found a new owner in the Newcastle area... and he's happy with it!
  20. So you're the barsteward who got the Tech cab from under my nose! I had negotiated to buy that cab some time ago, despite my best efforts nothing came of it and my messages went unanswered... now I know why.
  21. [quote name='DaveB' post='990522' date='Oct 16 2010, 07:29 PM']The Warwick Infinity 5 string, love those F holes. One day it will be mine. Touch choice between the flamed maple and birdeye top[/quote] It has to be Birdseye Maple... even though I still own one of these and I'll never let it go (foolishly sold one of them already), it's just not quite as comfortable (especially weight) as my main bass.
  22. I'm going to go against the flow... Play it in E and play the main riff on the bass inc' the horn section!
  23. [quote name='Delberthot' post='990225' date='Oct 16 2010, 02:15 PM']'Want me to show you every riff that I copied off Billy Sheehan? - then call this number'[/quote] Other than the Muse 'riffing' that was virtually note for note direct from the BS/Talas album - Sink your teeth into that!
  24. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='990299' date='Oct 16 2010, 03:35 PM']Phil - yes that's exactly what I was talking about. I haven't tried adjusting the pup heights because tbh it doesn't seem like one string is any louder than another, but I might mess with it and see what it does. Simon - It does indeed seem like an EQ problem but it must be something onboard. I've noticed it through my amp but I recorded direct and got the same effect. I wonder if I should take this to a Warwick forum and see if anyone else has had this before, but I've never heard of Warwick's pups wearing out or whatever. [/quote] Worth posting on the Wick forum BUT as it will likely be guess work and the Warwick forum isn't as busy as here, I think ultimately if it were me I'd see if someone local has a pair of pups that you could drop in and try. I'm not dissing the Wick forum by suggesting that they'd not be able to help but I doubt this is specific to Warwick Thumb basses (not heard of such a thing in the time I've had Warwicks, inc' Thumb basses) and have a feeling that it's likely to be an individual fault (if it has one) that could be found on any bass. This is just a random thought but there isn't a crack in the bass anywhere (neck laminate, fingerboard delamination etc), no loose frets and the nut is flat and secure? I'm just wondering if something physical with the bass might make it leech certain frequencies!
