chuck_stones Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Following a couple of poor financial months, I'm in urgent need of money, so it's with much regret and a heavy heart that I'm offering up my Dragon bass for trade or sale; [u][b]Trades:[/b] [/u] Looking for a 'super' jazz type bass or another M/J pickup setup. Ideal trades would be: Lakland Celinder Mayones Windmill Sadowsky Sandberg Spector Etc... Well, you get the idea. No Fenders please as we don't get along well, but if it looks, plays and sounds good I'll certainly consider it. I'm partial to flamed and quilted maple tops and anything that stands out a bit. 3 band EQ is a definite bonus as is a nice pre-amp. Trade value of around £1600 for my bass, so would consider something of equal or lesser value with cash my way but unfortunately no money with which to trade up.

simon bass Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 by the specs you have stated i believe you should look at a warwick streamer jazzman, it can give you a wide variety of tones even that super jazz bass tone and they are going dirt cheap at the mo for the ovonkol necked versions, i picked mine up for £590 with a very nice case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_stones Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Sadly, the money issue is pretty critical now, so one final bump before this goes to a shop on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
