ape Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi, I thought it was about time I came in here and said hello after me posting lol. I've been playing bass now for about 10years ish and currently playing in a pop/rock/acousticy type band I think would be the best explanation. I've currently got a Warwick Streamer Jazzman, a Ibanez SR800 currently in bits and a Kramer XL9 thats for sale in the sale section to make way for a 6 string ESP 6 string. Oh and I play through a Mark Bass mini cmd121p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 ..and if you want a Warwick 5er, you need heap big hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ape Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'd been wanting a warwick for ages, well that and a stingray I was a bit torn lol. I came to trying a few warwicks, a stingray and the Billy Sheehan signature but went with the Warwick jazzman. Your time will come for one lol, took me years to get one. You don't need that big hands for a Warwick 5 string I dont think, mind you I think the ESP 6 string I want next is alright lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I could have any bass though and had the money it would have to be a Wal, I'd sooo love one or even the chance to just pay one to satisfy my curiosity as they sound pronominal.

Z x[/quote] Ah what colour would you have it in?, no I know what you mean when lookint at the prices of some of the custom shop warwicks they're scary, infact when I went to buy mine there was another one the same as mine other than body shape and a fancy top but was twice the price of mine, it did look very nice but I'm not paying twice as much for a bass that does the same thing just because its got a pretty top lol. Would definately have to be a Wal for me I think, I quite like the look of status bass's as well but never had the chance to play one of those either or hear what they sound like.

ape Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Lol now that would be a good idea, or just buy and buy and buy without the selling bit. You never did say what colour you'd have a Japanese precision in if you could? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ape Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 White's a nice colour, think the tortoise shell would look better, I nearly brought a orangish coloured Japanese Precision as my first bass but ended up buying a Ibanez instead. Think if I was going to have a fender bass it would either after to be sonic blue or white lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ape Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Lol I never really took to the Thunderbird Basses, although I do think white is a nice colour, I prefered the SG style basses EB's I think, now one of those in white would look seriously nice me thinks.
