josh3184 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 I thought so! its in remarkably good condition, only one or two surface dings, has the original string mutes too (although they are perished to hell). I've said it before and I'll say it again, the neck is gorgeous!
wildus Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 [quote name='josh3184' post='375553' date='Jan 9 2009, 07:16 PM']success! the lefty thread already reaps dividends after only 3 days! How long have you been trying to get rid of the Rick turner now mate? Would be nice to hear what Wildus thinks of it too of course [/quote] Hi Josh this is a great thread Don't have any lefty's to trade but will be checking this place out to see what come's up The rick turner is a very nice bass the neck is a pleasure to play & has some great tone Metaltime is a top man he has some nice basses & makes great freshly ground coffee
steve-soar Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 The 'Ray is lovely, I bet you couldn't believe it, leaving the Zoot for this. Did you have to put money toward the deal?

Heres an idea why dont we add to a wanted section on the first post. I got the idea from Arnis post. For example i would be interested in getting hold of a thumb 5 string. What do peole think?
josh3184 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) could do but I'm worried of it getting all clogged up to be honest, I'm usually gassing for four or five different things at any one time to be honest Tell you what, I'll add it right at the bottom but if it gets too big i might have to get rid. Sound good? Hows the $$ by the way? Edited January 18, 2009 by josh3184

Did you have to put money toward the deal?[/quote] I didn't actually- to be honest I'd value them both at about the same price but the advantage of the ray is that its only going to increase in price as time goes on- something that sits wonderfully in my money grabbing mind Edited January 18, 2009 by josh3184
Dread Bass Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 [quote name='josh3184' post='384312' date='Jan 18 2009, 08:20 PM']Hows the $$ by the way?[/quote] I havnt got it Biggsy was looking for a replacment and maybe thinking about going for a trade so the deals on hold. I say try it and if it dosnt work then fine. It could be for people who are only in the market to buy rather than something your gassing over. you get me?
Dread Bass Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Also after getting a very nice warwick head from wildus i am probably going to sell my other amp which consists of SVP preamp, ADA 500 watt power amp in a rack. Just a feeler right now but if anyone would like to trade for my amp with a bass with cash either way let me know.
Biggsy Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Sorry to be such a pain with the $$; I was hoping to replace it with something better, and now having given it some thought the only things I would consider are Fenders, Ricks, Custom / High-end Warwicks and Stingrays. Josh's Ray would be first on my list, but on paper it's an equateable bass.. The $$ is actually more flexible so I'd want to A/B the basses next to eachother before making a decision! The jabbering above is irrelivant anyway as sensibility prevailed and I went and bought a new car.. Come the 25th of the month and I should be in the market again though, so I'll edit my original post.
josh3184 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) A $$ will never approach a stingray for the tone a stingray gets with its bridge pickup- and its playability! Never known a more slappable bass and fingerstyle is a dream. Its all about the neck pickup with the $$, its more flexible and does most things to a good extent so I suppose it would be best used if you need to change your tone for each song. Want me to take it off the list in the meantime? Edited January 19, 2009 by josh3184
Dread Bass Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Biggsy dont worry about it mate. I dont blame you i would want to compare basses next to each other. to be honest it makes more sense for me to hold on to a bit of money just now than spend it on another bass.
Biggsy Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks for understanding Andy, next time I respond to a wanted ad I'll give it more consideration! Josh, if you could leave it on the list for now that'd be great, I'd still like to hear some more trade offers. However I don't think yours will be beat! Would you consider a p/x with your new Stingray?!
josh3184 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 yeah, just chuck in about a grand your end and it'll be sorted
Biggsy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 [quote name='josh3184' post='385238' date='Jan 19 2009, 06:33 PM']yeah, just chuck in about a grand your end and it'll be sorted [/quote] I'll give you a car. I really would! 2 seater convertable too, loadsa fun
Biggsy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 It's a '96/7 MGF, British racing green with a lot of miles. Had new clutch & uprated freelander head gasket as well (the expensive bits!) in the last few hundred miles. Relatively cheap insurance for a really fun car! I'll add pictures if you're even mildly interested!
josh3184 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 goin to be honest and say that I wouldn't trust myself with it even if I had a license but its good to know what people will trade for the MM! I'm such an arse sometimes...
Biggsy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) You big tease I'd be the same to be honest, that's definately a keeper you've found! Wisely done. On the other hand, I would like to swap the $$ for your EB Stingray. That's two off the list so plenty of room for some wanted ads - which I reckon's a great idea Andy, there's a lefty Thumb 5 for sale on Talkbass, I've spoken to the guy and he'd ship to the UK as long as you pay for shipping, and he's asking $1000 ONO: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6783709"]Here[/url] Edited January 20, 2009 by Biggsy
josh3184 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) incidentally Andy, rang up the Edinburgh Guitarguitar about the lefty thumb 5 they have they, they said they'd sell it for £950 including a case if you're interested. Bit much for me unfortunately! Edited January 22, 2009 by josh3184
wildus Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 There's a nice lefty warwick thumb on Arnie lefty site
josh3184 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 bloody expensive tho considering the exchange rate
