Josh Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Since the arrival of my Thumb I've felt absolutley no need to play this bass, which is a shame being a damn good bass but my Thumb is more what I'm after. Anyhoo, pics: This one points out the wear on the back, it's nothing serious, just a sign of a well gigged bass: Everyone know's about these basses by now so theres not too much need of an explanation, but I'll add that having the Bart's instead of the original MEC's (Which I still have) makes a marginal difference in the tone and also the playability, having the poles covered instead of exposed on the MEC's it makes it easier having the pick up's closer to the string for a more of a ramp feel. This bass has previously been owned by Si on here as well and was a great guy to deal with, so if anybody needs any other opinions I'm pretty sure he'd be someone to get in contact with as well. Right for a cash price I thinking £350 or about £325 collected, as I'm not too sure about the coruiers down here in Bridgwater, the ones I have used have all been unpleasent and a general dissapointment service wise, but if we can arrange something that's perfectly cool. Also if anyone has any jazz basses for trade with cash your way then I'm all ears. Thanks All Josh Edited November 5, 2007 by Josh
CHRISDABASS Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 good luck with the sale dude!! glad your still enjoying the thumb!!
JoeS Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 £350? I'm dangerously tempted. And it would go so nicely with my black Corvette Standard...
Sibob Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Its a great bass, and the Barts i dropped in really set it off tonally! The only problem i had with it really was the corvette body size, to small for me Great neck, nice workable preamp, active/passive! And Josh is great to deal with! Good luck Si
grosa Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 mmmmm i really like black warwicks, particulary corvettes. ver ver nice why do i never have 350 buff when it would come in most useful? grr
Josh Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 The body wood is US Swamp Ash man, and the neck for reference is Ovangkol and the finger board is wenge.
King Tut Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I've got one - love it - preffered it to my thumb bo 4 that I traded recently. Free bump!!
spoo_bass Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I must say i am also quite interested, i'll have to look at my financial situation and weather or not i could pick it up, but yeh, i'll let you know soon (if of course it hasn't sold by then)
Josh Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 Just a quick update, quite a bit of interest from assorted folk, but this bass is primarily on a first come first serve basis but if anyone wishes to hold it back then thats perfectly fine also. Also to put inds at rest, the bass comes with a foam hardcase-gig bag which is what I got with the bass, a little worn but does the job fine. Thanks for the interest thus far guys, I'm also thinking about lowering the price to £325 to anyone who can arrange postage and what-not.
Josh Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Right this is now sold to Peety. Thanks to everyone for their interest!
