hello from lincs!!

hi all!!

just wanted to say hi as I've been watching the forum from afar and also PMing a couple of people regarding basses for sale. i'm looking to upgrade my setup which i have had for a couple of years. been playing a 5-string ibanez sr recently on loan and i've been bitten by the 5 string bug! which helps as i'm a rock/metal bassist!!

i currently run a limited edition cort c4 (mahogany body, wenge neck) through som EHX effects (and others) into a hartke ha3000/vx410 rig. it's a cool setup but i need a bit more flexibility from my head and the hartke cab feels like it is made from cardboard! and as i said i want to upgrade to a 5 string. i'd love a warwick corvette (standard or $$) as i've wanted one for about 10 years, once i have one i'll be happy but i also like the sandberg jm5, euro spectors, a stingray 5 possibly, high end ibanez soundgears

open to suggestions for similar basses. willing to trade my cort if wanted. got about £800 to spend.

anyway i'm sure i'll catch some of you in the for sale and wanted sections. nice to meet you all!!

cheers

thanks. been a bit tentative about introducing myself as you guys really know your stuff! i'm not all that knowledgable on high end basses or anything, i just love to play, which i guess is the most important thing at the end of the day! i have a couple of bands, one pop/indie covers band Miss Havisham (we do a lot of wedding receptions etc) and one metal covers band The Forever Test (we do a lot of sweaty pub gigs which i much prefer!!). itching to get writing though!
