daveski Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I'm selling this beautiful Pangborn Warlord bass, i purchased it off Doctor bass a few months ago but i'm not a 34 scale man as all my other basses are 32 scale.

It has a Flame maple top and is in great condition and comes in a hard case, i'm looking for what i payed which is £1220 + £35 postage. cheers Dave Edited September 14, 2009 by daveski

But you know that already Dave. For everyone else. Dave is a great guy to do business with. Good luck with the sale. I can't bare to watch. Cheers Damon
doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Just to add that this is a very beautiful bass and a great player; it originally belonged to Stevie Stroud, top session player who worked with Bucks Fizz, the Hollies and more recently, Sir Cliff Richard's bassist - I would buy it back right now if finances allowed! Dave is a true gent to deal with. Cheers! Nick
purpleblob Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 I seriously need to stop hanging out around these forums! Yet another wonderful looking and from my limited knowledge of Pangborn, fab. quality bass. Having just seen my Mastercard bill after last months spending on GAS related stuff I need to pay some of this back before I get the GAS taking over again All the best with the sale, she's a beauty.
doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Here's a shot of the Pang as part of the famous `fence' next to my Series I Jaydee and Alembic - the Pang is much smaller body-wise than said neighbours but still retains a classic shape with the omega cutaway! ATB! Nick
lozbass Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I'm not sure it's fair to advertise stuff like this... Just absolutely ******* beautiful
lozbass Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I shouldn't ask but, what are the electronics and pickups in this, and what's the fingerboard?

We discussed the fingerboard and concluded it was Massacar Ebony and it really is quite nicely figured.

If you're reading Nick and can inform us on the electronics, I'd be grateful
molan Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Wow, haven't seen one of these for ages, looks lovely
MB1 Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 MB1. ...Nay...Nay...and Thrice Nay! ....dont you just want to stick its head in the sand.... when the sun goes down?....
wombatboter Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Just say that this is a local pick-up and that you refuse to ship to Belgium !
doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 When I first bought this bass, its active EQ circuit was dead - it only worked passively - on saying that, its passive tone is awesome - like a J bass on steroids! I had a Jaydee 3 band eq fitted and it sounds great with the original Kent Armstrong p/ups - its got a 3 way rotary p/up selector with an off position, master vol, passive treble, active on/off mini toggle switch and then bass, mid and treble pots (centre notched). Like I mentioned, I should really have kept this bass....!!! Its got its own special character - I've still got two other Warlord basses and even though they share some features, they are all unique - the maple one Dave's got here is very warm sounding and yet cuts through very nicely! Very potent!
lozbass Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks to Nick and BeLow for the further details...unfortunately, these just make things worse...
daveski Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 This great bass now has a new owner. Thanks for all your interest guys.
Johngh Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Drat, Drat, Drat, Drat, and thrice more Drat.

scojack Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Missed it ! Betsy !! Waaaaaahhhh! I bought this bass from Steve Stroud and like Nick I should never have parted with it. ...GUTTED!
