Ask on autotrader if they sell basses whilst you're at it .

I downloaded the Warwick Customshop price list the other day.. somewhat mystifying as to how they can justify it.. [url="http://www.warwick.de/media/prices/Warwick_Instr_UK.pdf"]http://www.warwick.de/media/prices/Warwick_Instr_UK.pdf[/url]

A couple here too.. Squier Bronco (First bass) Stagg BC305 (POS) Eastcoast MB300 (Reasonable) Vintage V940FL Spector Q6 Pro Yamaha BB614 1980 Ibanez Musician MC900

Crazy.. but cool that he was immune to GAS. I know i'll always want something else.. And I sold my first bass... it was a crappy Squier Bronco. I'm glad I don't have it anymore because it sucked .

If the price is decent then they will shift, they aren't THAT bad instruments so I expect someone may give it a shot.

I have a guitar too, same one I bought 6 when I first started learning 6 years ago. Went through a phase of buying guitars but they all sound the same .

You can hardly see any drill holes with the item removed as long as you don't bodge it..

I will record it when my review is complete, watch this space etc..

Changing the preamp first would be easier, since it may be hard to find pickups that will fit without further modification to the bass.

I think they're horrendously expensive.. i'd love one on my Stingray but can't justify £45 for a machine head that saves me about 5 seconds.

Hmm a 4 and a 5 string, both fretted ? Might be worth defretting one neck..

It's a grey area. There's either baritone guitars tuned to E (same as bass) or B (an octave above a 5 string low B[b][/b]). The manufacturers don't always differentiate between them too well, and it's easy to get confused. It depends what you want really... Tuned to E: Fender Bass VI (Jaguar lookalike) Schecter Hellcat Baritone (Formerly available at Sound Control but now discontinued) Tuned to B: OLP MM5 Ibanez Mike Mushok Sig Epiphone Les Paul Standard Baritone Yamaha AES520D6 EDIT: dlloyd beat me to it by a matter of seconds... hmph

Not too shabby.. I expected about 0.2mm at that price !

How thick is the top ?

£289 here: [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/rb-7/69001"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/rb-7/69001[/url] For a little more than that you could also consider an Ashdown MAG210-300 (I bet you never thought i'd suggest that ?!)

[quote name='Ghost Rider' post='154941' date='Mar 10 2008, 10:17 PM']Now all I have to is decide on a cab...??? 2 x 10's is what I'm after so any cab info would be mint![/quote] Might as well go for an Ashdown cab to match it . Whats your budget for the cab ? £150 will get you a MAG210 [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-MAG-210-T~ID~2053.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...0-T~ID~2053.asp[/url] £270 will get you an ABM210 [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown---ABM-210T-Compact~ID~2047.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...act~ID~2047.asp[/url] I make no apologies for my blatant bias to Ashdown

It'll be pretty solid being a Laney, but don't really have a fantastic reputation for bass amplification. The Laney head/cab I used to use at rehearsal wasn't too bad, but was a bit muddy. What's your budget ? We may be able to throw a few options for you to consider.

I find the prawn cocktail quavers the nicest.
