LLCoolA Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hello all, I must admit I've joined primarily to find a nice new home for my Warwick FNA Jazzman but after reading through some threads I think I might be visiting more frequently. I've played bass since a spot of popping and slapping was considered enormously sexy and have covered a lot of genres on the way. I've now largely swapped speed for scales and find most enjoyment smashing out some pretty obscure jazz along with a few django wannabees. Kit wise, I'm running various basses (Warwick FNA Jazzman, Sundgear SR1200 and an absolutely knackered 88 PBass that I adore more than most of my family members) through a Trace Eliott AH-600 12 band head with either a Markbass 4x10 or homemade 1x12. One thing to note, I can't get enough of spending ridiculous amounts of money on cables. I'm actually moving to New York from London in the next two months so am looking to reduce my freight bill by introducing a couple of things to the sale section. I'm about to put my Warwick on there but after a few reads it wouldn't seem as if there's a huge amount of demand for them. This revelation upsets me a bit as I consider that bass to be the best all round gigging and recording basses I've come across. Can anyone tell me why no one like them anymore? Hope that was enough introduction. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leen2112 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hello A, Welcome to basschat. I hope you stick around, there are lots from the US here, maybe even from where you are going. I like Warwicks, but I'm not in the market for another bass. It'll be like that film..............If you sell It they will come. Cheers Leen.

BassTractor Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi A, Welcome! As Leen says: Stay! Good boy! Yeah, there's a lot of wondering about WW prices these days. I wouldn't know how the market became like that, but nowadays your FNA won't get the price it deserves. The same goes for very much gear. It's buyers' market without buyers, it seems. Anyway, enjoy the site, and remember: "There's no shame in moving back" (old jungle proverb) best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Then the Planet Waves website be the place to be for ye! I love Planet Waves. Nearly sold off all my stuff the other day to fund buying EVERYTHING they have on the website. I even started a thread about AAS, which is Accessories Acquisition Syndrome, which is something i suffer from far more than GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). Anyway, enjoy the site. PS- Bert, i love your member title. Where did you think of such a witty thing to put there? Must have come from some superior mind, eh?
