EvilSmile Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) I recently purchased a G&L SB2 bass and over the past 2 weeks its quickly become my main goto bass. So much so that everything i was using this buzzard for i can now do with the SB-2 and do it better! I'd like to down size and while i really love the bass i can't see it getting much play time now so thought i'd pass it on to someone who'd appreciate it and play it! I did experiment with some nordstrand pickups in the bass but i've put the orignal MEC pickups back in it now. The bass required exra shielding with the passive nordstrand pickups and i shielded the pickup cavity with copper tape which i've left on the bass as its doing no harm (i can remove it at buyers request and clean it all up) I also have replaced the JAN II as when i got the bass it was missing the slide flaps so it is now fully functional with no issues. The bass currently has a set of optima gold strings on it. Ands comes with the warwick user kit, gig bag and strap locks. [s]Looking for around £700 for this but i'm open to offers however no trades. Due to the length of the bass shipping is going to be very impractical so this is collection only.[/s] Looking for £600 firm now. Collection is preferred and advised due to the length of the bass but i can arrange courier at buyers cost. I'm located currently near cambridge but am going to and from york every few weeks - so could do drop offs on the way or offer collection from either york or cambridge.

Rayman Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Don't blame you for loving the G&L. Best of luck with the Buzzard, you don't see many of them on here so there should be a lot of interest. Looking forward to the pics.
EvilSmile Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Sorry about the huge wait for pics - needed to borrow a camera - i'm just going round a mates to pick up the camera now so should have them up within the next hour or two. Also i thought i'd offer the option of having the bass come with nordstrand NP4's as well as the MEC's. I can do this for an extra £100 (normally would cost £210 for the pickups!). - I can put either in the bass for you - just to tempt anyone else. I've got the nordys up for sale individually [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=96603&hl=NP4"]here[/url] Anyway pics will be up asap. Edited July 31, 2010 by EvilSmile
EvilSmile Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Pics now up - sorry about the quality light was fading i'll redo them tomorrow - but gives you an idea. Edited July 31, 2010 by EvilSmile
EvilSmile Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 I've made a few clips to give the idea of the sound of this bass with optima golds. I appologies for any mistakes/timing issues these where mostly 1 take clips to give an idea on the sound with no click track. 1 = Both Pickups 2 = Neck Pickup 3 = Bridge Pickup I'll try and get some clips with the nordstrand NP4 pickups in done tomorrow.

EvilSmile Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 Pre-bestival bump Note: I've managed to sell both nordstrand pickups so can no longer offer to add them to the bass.

EvilSmile Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys i've tried/been trying the warwick forum but there hasn't been much interest I'm very much open to sensible offers on this though! Edited September 15, 2010 by EvilSmile
EvilSmile Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Price drop to £600. Edited September 17, 2010 by EvilSmile
Chris2112 Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 You've got to be kidding me! This bass is definitely not my thing, but to think it's going for this price is outrageous! For the right player (IE an Entwistle fan) it's a bass for life!
EvilSmile Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Bump - the buzzard is still available!
EvilSmile Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 Bump! Bit of a price update - £625 including fully insured mainland UK shipping or £600 if you can collect the bass. I'm heading back up to york on the w/e of the 2nd October. If you are interested and are on the way i'm happy to drop the bass off. I'm also happy to consider offers as well, sorry no trades.
