Hello and welcome David.
I was down in Hanwell today at a rather good guitar shop tucked away in the back streets.
I'm just up the road in South Harrow where we have a couple of locals doing open mic nights.
I can put you on to an excellent teacher up in Carpenders Park if your interested.
Pm for a phone number if you want more info.
Enjoy the site

My wife says I can look but not touch.
Seriously its a lovely looking bass and if I wasn't overspent I would love to have it.
Its probably waiting for its Mr Right to come along.
I would add that if it were mine I wouldn't let it go at that price unless I were desperate.
If I were you I'd take it off the market for a few weeks then have another go at selling when possibly theres a bit more money floating around.
Theres been nothing that good looking on ebay for that price.
Good luck with whatever you do.

Too cheap.

I'd have thought 1500 in that condition but what do I know.

Look at www.ampmaker.com

I got a little FenderFrontman its got a 8" speakerabout 10w in good nick £25 if your interested.

There are plenty of leather workers in this country will make you a strap to your design and size.
If you cant find any one pm me and I can put you on to some one local to me who can do you a nice custom job for not a shed load of dosh.
You can even have it engraved with lots of pretty designs as well.
Come to that you could make one for yourself if you wanted quite a plain design.
If you wanted to decorate it,its not to hard to do either.

He very clearly needs help. No point in retribution, I think he is in far greater trouble now.[/quote]


I actually feel sorry for the geezer.
What he did wasn't right but his head had to be in a mess for him to do what he has apparently done.
Still there's nowt as queer as folk.

Totally misread the title of this thread.

Well, I've decided to withdraw this bass. I just can't bring myself to sell it, even though I rarely play it.

Apologies to all those who have expressed an interest.

Best wishes

Well done.
If you had sold it I'm sure you would have regretted it.Is allyou need to do now is fall back in love.Have you considered Relate

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='631574' date='Oct 20 2009, 04:47 PM']I bought the same bass this week & love it. Loads of tone & feels like a tricked out jazz[/quote]


What are you like Tim?
With all that gear you've got,where do you keep the wife?

Lives to bid another day.

Looks like you may have got your pm in before me so that means my wife doesn't have to kill me after all.
Some you win some you don't.

Have a look at this
www.stevesamps.co .uk

That Washburn is lovely and a really good price as well.
If I didn't have a n imminent new arrival I would be very tempted,they have a gorgeous d/b sound to them,at least my mates one does.
Good luck with your sale.

Do you have one of those storage facility places local.
Any shed you have would have to be a good one.
Bear in mind that any thing that goes from cold to warm environment will cause condensation to form,not good for electrics.
Definately wouldn't leave my guitars in a damp shed.

Nice nick but boy it aint pretty.

I want one of they.

There was a Kelly head went on ebay last week.Quite rare,I only took notice because I used to have one35 years ago.£400

I've come into bass playing late in life and I'm enjoying the whole aspect of it,from learning to do new excersises on the instrument thus consolidating the building blocks that will enable me to reach a degree of competence on the instrument to the looking and sometimes indulging in new(old)equipment.
I love old stuff but cant afford the old P's and J's that were around when I was a youngster but I've got a couple of nice sounding guitars that I really enjoy playing.
My latest equipment fetish is to make a retro looking valve combo after the style of the fender TV series.
So its a bit of both for me.

Hate to say "told you so"but .........................."told you so" well done fella.

Oh you lucky lucky sod.
I yearn for the day I'll have learnt enough to step up on the stage at my local,I know it will come and as long as I can make a half decent stab at it I'll be happy.
You'll be among mates,you know what your going to play, just enjoy it.
If you do make a mistake don't worry just keep going.
Every one will be on your side.
Have fun.

Must do really,the mechanics of it remain the same only the method of conversion differs.
Put my last comment down to the musings of a middle aged fart.

I'm learning the notes on the fret board by running through the cycle of fourths and by saying the note as I play it.
I'm doing this one string at a time and varying which note I start on.
Also doing it with a metronome.
Its a bit tedious but if you do it for half an hour a day after a week or so you should have it nailed.
Good luck

Bargain.
Someones going to be a lucky bunny

Wonder what difference if any woods would make to a Lightwave bass.

You can get a thing from Maplins to check the mains.It looks like a plug with leds onthe top.
Just plug it in and the lights will indicate any faults.
Cost about £5.00
