[quote name='johnnylager' post='276048' date='Sep 3 2008, 09:48 AM']But Brian Fox plays one. And Scott Thunes. And John McCoy. And Rob Wright. And Steve Harris. Why did I buy a bloody Jazz? Jazzes, that's it - totally over-rated if you ask me.[/quote] Hey Caisley. I particularly like your track 'Chicken'... less said about 'Poo' the better -
[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='275950' date='Sep 3 2008, 12:06 AM']nope - the bass was here in Peterborough! (thats a city 30 miles north of Cambridge in case you're not sure!)[/quote] Ah Peterborough, north of Cambridge you say! That'll be in the South with the pampered people; far away from we Northern savages It's strange but I normally much prefer the natural finish Warwicks but of all the coloured ones that they do, I like the high gloss red ones (closely followed by the tobacco burst) most and never really got into the look of the oiled finishes.

[quote name='geilerbass' post='275177' date='Sep 2 2008, 08:22 AM']That really does look the balls... but then again, slap a couple of Stage I's either side of any rig and it's going to look hot. Or am I just a sucker for anything with 'W' on the headstock... [/quote] 'We' are both suckers for the big 'W' [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='275880' date='Sep 2 2008, 10:54 PM']Hmmm...not bad!!!!! In fact, I nearly had a similar red Streamer back in '92, some other bastard bought it (beating me to it!) from the shop where I used to work at weekends - was really upset as I recall - it had a finish like glass and tons of balls!! The ones that get away eh?![/quote] So long as that shop wasn't located between Newcastle and Bolton it couldn't be this one [quote name='wateroftyne' post='275892' date='Sep 2 2008, 11:05 PM']Niiiice![/quote] Could that be because the rig looks 'old school' and exactly like your Schroeder?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='274821' date='Sep 1 2008, 06:20 PM']Boing, and back up to £2900 again. [/quote] Well that confirms it... the seller has a sense of humour and is indeed a Basschatter

1977 Fender Jazz Bass - Sunburst. SALE PENDING
warwickhunt replied to crookysax's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='PauBass' post='274730' date='Sep 1 2008, 04:51 PM']No, it didn't... I bought this bass and receive it last week but after inspecting it properly turn out not to be an all original '77 Jazz bass. A few bits had been replaced, and a few other things didn't work properly. I was buying this bass planning to keep it and get rid of my all original '78. As it was suposed to be all original, had been owned by Noel Redding and I liked it better than mine I tought it was a good investment but, because of the price and not being all original, I decided not to buy it.. I spoke to the seller about it and he said he didn't know about the parts having been replaced and the other bits not working properly, he was kind enough and understood the situation. I have to say that Chris was a top bloke to deal with, he sent me the bass with no payment upfront and the communication has been really good he even offered me a refund for the shipping I paid. I'm surprise to see it on Ebay, the bass is still sitting in my bedroom he hasn't arrange collection yet.[/quote] Well I hope the guy who paid £2009 for it is as understanding -
I've pretty much settled on my amplification as it is compact and yet powerful enough for my needs... though the basses may change from time to time Amp - Thunderfunk TF550B Cabs - Aguilar DB112 (1 with, 1 without tweeter) Basses - Streamer Stage I (fretted - MEC/MEC and fretless - Bartolini/OBP1)

[quote name='richardd' post='274538' date='Sep 1 2008, 02:10 PM']I think you will find it was sold by Alec at the greedy Gallery a crazy price for a jv even in fiesta red[/quote] Fair does, it's £699 in The Gallery but that's only £49 more than the OP wanted... significantly less than the ebay 'sale' price Whether you consider that a Fender copy from the early 80's is worth anywhere near this value is the matter for another thread altogether

Curly leads (a la Brian May), pick-up/bridge covers, scratchplates and those great big felt picks... in any order you like. Not strictly bass related but plectrum holders... isn't that just a fancy name for your guitarist -
Welcome (back) indeed. However... as an old hand at this Bassworld/Basstalk/Basschat kind of thing you should no better than to open with a statement that includes; "Will be looking to buy some new gear soon"! That's an open invitation for GAS inducing suggestions
