    [quote name='bottlebassman' post='766156' date='Mar 6 2010, 03:57 PM']Hiya, im just up the coast from you (well about 30 miles!). I see Colin Moulding is one of your fave players, mine too, cool. [/quote] So is that Alnmouth or Amble? Oh and welcome to our newest Geordie... bout time we organised a little GTG to put names to faces.

    [quote name='basskit_case' post='763809' date='Mar 4 2010, 11:50 AM']Think I would ideally like to go smaller[/quote] Smaller than a Tecamp 1x12... exactly how small would that have to be then? Smaller than 1x12 is essentially 1x10... I take it you don't intend doing any gigging with a drummer!

    [quote name='GremlinAndy' post='763906' date='Mar 4 2010, 01:33 PM']How much would the shipping on this be, to the UK. any idea?[/quote] So when you get it do we get to A/B them? Just to say that I've used General Logistics System (GLS) for delivery from Germany and they are 'very' competitive for courier pricing to the UK!

    [quote name='BigRedX' post='762568' date='Mar 3 2010, 08:48 AM']Probably best that it's over then. On second viewing of the photos I spotted too many other issues with the fit and finish, and if they're visible in the photos, hate to think how bad it would look in real life.[/quote] I agree, some of the outline 'lines' look decidedly squared off and there appears to be more divots than on a golf course!

    [quote name='throwoff' post='761384' date='Mar 2 2010, 12:10 AM']Not being funny but I dont see absolute music trying to rip someone off they far too well known.[/quote] [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='761412' date='Mar 2 2010, 12:46 AM']FWIW I've bought from Absolute in the past and they've been very good. If there is an issue, I'm sure there will be an innocent explanation.[/quote] No one has pointed a finger of blame. I raised the issue that the whole 'prototype' thing looked a bit sus but I'm not doubting that it is a PRS bass. I would however say that being a [i][b]well known[/b][/i] music shop/store doesn't mean that they are mistake/blame free and it isn't an excuse for not following the maxim 'caveat emptor'!

    I'm ready to be corrected on this big style but that looks all the world like one of the standard mkII PRS's with fancy inlays... with the exception of 'someone' writing prototype between the tuners with a permanent marker!

    [quote name='RichardFoggo' post='759979' date='Feb 28 2010, 06:23 PM']would you mind offering up some insight into the Glock please? I am only really familiar with reports on the onboard. Despite not having the chops to cope with hi-fi sound I do love clean.[/quote] I had a Bass Art head (full amp rather than pre) and considering people talk about clarity etc with Glock I found it to be a nice full sound, warm but not mushy/muddy. I would still have it today if it weren't for the fact that iirc it was 300w and at the time that just couldn't cut the mustard live (partially that may have been the cab it was paired with), so it had to go. A higher powered Glock amp is one of the few amps I'd consider trading my Thunderfunk for.

    Do the USA basses weigh less than the Skylines? I've owned a brace of Skylines (DJ and a pair of JO) and they were all pretty weighty beasts.
  11. warwickhunt
    Nothing there that would give me the confidence to bid!

    Is this a case of the 'Emperor's New Clothes'... I see no pics, is it just my PC?
  15. warwickhunt
    Makes interesting reading over on the Warwick forum... oh and the offending picture is removed from this forum also!
  16. warwickhunt
    Not sure that the block and bound fingerboard was available on this model!

    So now that the auction is ended it does make me wonder why most of the images have been removed... Oh no I remember: taken from the previous time it was listed and discussed! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70234"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70234[/url] [quote name='wateroftyne' post='680255' date='Dec 10 2009, 01:59 PM']...but if you're hosting the images yourself, you can include as many as you like in the main description with no charge. Why the seller would go to the effort of typing a description as text, pasting it into an image, saving it out, hosting it and then linking to it is a mystery to me. Unless being able to delete the image after the auction closes, and therefore all record of the text of the auction, is useful to them... [/quote] I'm a skeptical owld git but when stuff like that happens (as predicted) it does make you wonder.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='756507' date='Feb 24 2010, 09:13 PM']The [b][u]identical[/u][/b] wording (copying) of your responses (whether prompted for or not) on the two forums would indicate that English isn't a strong second language for you so I hope you can understand that people may have concerns about the validity of your sale. It was suggested over on the Warwick forum that you possibly get photographs of you, the bass and the receipt or bill of sale for the bass, ideally away from what appears to be a music store, I think that would seem reasonable especially as the Moderators over on the Warwick forum would likely be able to validate the sale of such an expensive bass through the retailers receipts. [/quote] Prospective buyers may wish to refer to this thread (which 'may' well resolve itself in favour of the seller) before parting with any funds!

    I think that it has already been highlighted over on the Warwick forum Nakhon but due to recent incidents where a seller (or sellers) from Thailand have tried to con/scam buyers, folks from outside of Thailand are very cautious with International sales. The [b][u]identical[/u][/b] wording (copying) of your responses (whether prompted for or not) on the two forums would indicate that English isn't a strong second language for you so I hope you can understand that people may have concerns about the validity of your sale.

    His feedback recently showed that he'd also sold a vintage Fender gold sparkle P bass but as it has slipped past the 90 days you can no longer view the link! Considering how rare they must be he's one hell of a lucky guy to have found a matching pair!
  21. warwickhunt
    Has it been established if the neck was genuine late 70's B&B?

    [quote name='The Bass Doc' post='755347' date='Feb 23 2010, 07:26 PM']I have seen necks that clean before - it's the fingerboard pics that convince me it's genuine.[/quote] I agree that it's sooooo hard to 'relic' that look on a fingerboard (I've never ever seen a good copy) and the inlay dots just appear so right with that aged (almost sunken/shrunk) look to the rosewood and I have to confess I'd defer to you with regard to the condition of the neck. I know that the maple neck on my oldest Warwick (the one I got via you Howie) got sealed by DW and it looked as new and shiny when I sold it 15 years (and thousands of hours use) later... I still managed to ding the headstock now and again though!

    First (1979/80): Marshall Superbass 100 + Marshall 4x12 'guitar' cab which I cut the baffle out of and fitted an 18" driver mounted on a new baffle (got the driver free off a mate). footnote - that amp spent more time in the TV repair shop than at gigs; yes, once upon a time people repaired TVs rather than throw them in the skip when they broke... oh and the people that fixed TVs fixed your amps! Last (2010): Thunderfunk 550B + x2 Aguilar 112's footnote - this amp had better not break down but if it does I'm sure that they are made in the same way that they made the old TVs so I'll get it repaired rather than bin it!
  24. warwickhunt
    I have to say the patina on the fingerboard (and the colour of the dots), body, scratchplate etc. all look very period correct; even the rust on the pup slugs BUT in comparison that headstock and rear of the neck look 'quite' new and shiny! My main concern is the number of people involved in taking the last photograph... I spot feet belonging to at least 3 people!

    [quote name='samuraibass' post='754884' date='Feb 23 2010, 12:21 PM']You want to see my bass guitar and two together.[/quote] Yep well that put that one to bed!
