[quote name='birdy' post='332874' date='Nov 20 2008, 09:49 AM']No one interested in this at all?[/quote] I've been interested in it since your first post, but driving down from Fife isn't an option I have one already but it lives on the continent so another one for my UK gigs may seem like an indulgence in such delicate times! -

[quote name='butlerk02' post='32505' date='Jul 16 2007, 12:48 PM']Hi all, Looking for someone who can teach me at an advanced level if anybody knows of anyone. Also, what kind of rate should i be expected to pay. Used to have clasical guitar lessons years ago and that was £12 an hour? Cheers Keith[/quote] Hi Keith Did you have any luck finding a tutor? One of my students will be moving from Fife down to the Warrington area this summer and will also be on the hunt. we'd all appreciate any recommendations. If it helps, I charge £20 per hour for one-to-one tuition. Students come to me once a fortnight. All the best Lawrie

[quote name='largo' post='174116' date='Apr 10 2008, 06:51 PM']Hi Lawrie, I can't believe Gil has converted you as well. I must admit I have been tempted but the Sadowsky I wanted was quoted at $4600 and I still have duty to pay on that, so £3K for a Jazz bass was just a bit too much. How does Gil pay his mortgage ? Is it 4 or 5 he has now? You should have stuck to your Warwick if you wanted the extra, extra, extra wide spacing ;0)[/quote] Well you [i]did[/i] ask....... I was a Sadowsky convert when Jason Newsted started playing them with Metallica back in the mid-ninties!! Once I'd become aware of the respected players of the bass world and how they also used them, I got Overwater basically to build me a jazz 5 to similar specs. Their third attempt was a beauty, but the weight deformed my neck and back (almost!) and never quite sounded like an old Fender. A friend of mine owns it now. Once I'd visited Sadowsky's shop in Brooklyn back in 2002, it was only a matter of saving up the cash to take the plunge. Gil got his first and he was kind enough to let me use it at Glasgow concert hall for the televised [i]Ealtain[/i] gig. When I saw and heard the broadcast I was blown away by the bottom end and the punch, and I had kept the preamp flat all night! So now I have 2 and I swear by them for the majority of my work - recording and performing. I still have my 2 Streamer Stage Ones because Sadowsky or any jazz bass for that matter simply can't do [i]that[/i] sound. IMHO of course. And regards to string spacing, any less than 19mm to me now feels like a guitar!!! Must be my extra long fingers

[quote name='largo' post='172559' date='Apr 8 2008, 07:05 PM']Yep, I can vouch for the last post by Ewan. Don't know Ewan personally but I certainly know Mr Gilbass ! I've tried my best to talk him out of his Sadowsky fixation for years but he's having none of it. Nice preamps but 19mm spacing ain't all it's cracked up to be, Gil ;-) With the hike in new Sei prices £1300's about right, in my opinion but I never got near that with my last 2 sales. S[/quote] How you doin' S? I feel compelled to say that of course I love my Sadowskys, but they'd have 20mm string spacing if I had my way!!!!!

Worth trying is the Eden 210XST. I find there's more bottom end at lower volumes than two single 12s, although having them is a great option too. The Eden is relatively light for such a top end bass cab and isn't much wider than the DB750 in a rackcase. Happy hunting. I'm quite excited for you :-)

Warwick Collection... what do you want and how much?
lawriemacmillan replied to warwickhunt's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='warwickhunt' post='129814' date='Jan 29 2008, 09:49 AM']I won't be selling every single one, apart from anything else I doubt that there are that many Warwick fans in the World at the moment [/quote] Seems to be the case. I've had LOTS of interest with my Streamer fretless but not the figure that it's worth. Best of luck! -
[quote name='Snarf' post='72723' date='Oct 11 2007, 11:56 AM'] evil! YOU ARE EVIL! That bass is luvverly. Damnit, I really want a fretless 5 too, this would suit me down to the ground. If I can sell my fretless Musicman, would you accept money, a lung, kidney and a leg?[/quote] Snarf, if you really want it you have my blessing to pillage, plunder and self-amputate to your heart's content! I forgot to check your location before posting this reply. Anyone based in Scotland is welcome to come and have a try. My next tour is in November and I've been told there's a Warwick buzz in Germany right now. The word has been spread so we shall see if any buyers turn up to our shows.... L

[size=3][font="Comic Sans MS"]Hi I'm selling two great tickets for The Police at Cardiff Millennium Stadium for October 19th. Ticket face value is £85 per ticket. I've started the bidding at £99 with no reserve. Auction ends this Friday!!! Genuine personal reasons for selling these. Basically, it'd be a bit of a trek for me to go to the concert alone!! The Police were my first favourite band and it's been a lifelong dream to see those three guys onstage together, so major disappointment.
