You're a star. Made him an offer. It's a 2+ hour drive for me lol. Yikes -
Yeah I’ve not tried to reach those subsonic limits. 😂

I bought a black one of these at the weekend locally from FB marketplace. Got it for a good price and it`s minty. They are cracking basses, enjoy yours!

I recently bought back this stunning 99 streamer LX after having pined for it back for 15 years!! But … my circumstances have suddenly and unexpectedly changed and Im gutted to say that I need to move it on again The good: It’s stunning!! It’s set up well and plays beautifully, I’ve owned several Warwicks and this one is special - there’s just something about it. It’s snarls and pops and slaps and bites and it’s just so comfy to play. It has songs in it. There’s a hipshot extender and Schaller straplocks and brand new EMG pickups with an EMG preamp - a month ago! New barrel jack fitted too. Everything works as it should. Including the truss rod. The neck is beautifully figured with a lovely holographic depth to it. But I can’t capture it in a photo. The No so good - and the reason for the cheap price! It’s had a knock - meaning the top is cracked around the knobs. See the pics. It’s visible up close, but it’s totally sound. You can’t move it or push it etc. it’s still perfectly solid and sound and seems to require no repair etc. it’s fine. It just looks alarming up close. There’s buckle rash on the back - hard to picture though Hence im selling this gorgeous, we’ll set up bass with brand new insides at £750 collected only from Cheltenham.

Mine was NOS, 2006 bass bought new in 2018 or so. Not quite sure how a warranty claim would have played out. Have owned my 1989 G&L SB-1 since about 1991, faultless.
-
To be fair to G&L, there is a 10 year guarantee on their instruments. They sent me a brand new neck from the US at their expense without even flinching.

Bloody thieves. The van was probably in a container being loaded up on to a ship in Tilbury before anyone noticed it was gone.

I've started on the bracing. The blanks I've got are very oversized, so by cutting some off at the line I can end up with a brace which is almost perfectly quarter sawn: Putting it onto the platform, I use a biro sticking through a Gibson selector switch washer to mark out the shape of the top onto the blank. You can chose either Rhythm or Treble depending on whether you want thundering lows or blistering highs.....It also means you can get a pretty much exact contour. Because the top is arched in both directions I mark both sides of the blank. With a spokeshave I then carve down to the line... ... My makeshift 'go-bar deck' is ugly but very effective. I find myself using it all the time either for gluing or just holding stuff down. Here I'm using it for both. The brace get's held in position on top of a piece of sandpaper (150G). You can adjust the go-bars very quickly so they apply just the right amount of pressure so the brace is held in place but you can still slide the sandpaper back and forth to get good fit. Finally the brace can be glued down in the same way. I use West System epoxy. I use the Ken Parker method (as usual). Which is wet the brace, put it onto the top, then remove it so you have an imprint: The idea is to let the epoxy soak into the wood as much as possible. I've got a silicone brush which I use to go back and add more epoxy to any parts that soaked it up. Finally, clamping in the go bar deck. One of the (many) good things about epoxy is that it needs very little clamping pressure, just enough to stop anything moving. Squeeze out I clean up with a cotton bud soaked in acetone. Tomorrow, brace number 2...

Buying from the Bass Gallery online
Mediocre Polymath replied to Pow_22's topic in General Discussion
Just adding to the general consensus here, I think, but here's my two cents. I've bought two basses from them in the past (pretty distant past now) and sold one on commission through them as well. They're good blokes to deal with, but because I'm in London I've only ever used their website for idle window shopping. All my actual dealings with them have been in person. I get the impression that they don't put a whole lot of effort into the website itself, with most of their online activity (social media etc.) focused on luring people down to the physical store. The thing I find particularly strange, given the unusual and valuable nature of a lot of their stock, is how sparse their product descriptions are. Like, they'll have some esoteric 1980s custom bass made out of gold and walrus ivory or something, and with, say, eight knobs and four switches and a bullet-hole in the body and the description will just say "4-string, details to come". -

No worries, I'm waiting for a new amp to arrive, then I have to sell stuff to buy a cab, so I'm not really ready to buy yet. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/782813433297897/ -
DB ‘con sordini’ mute recommendations
Bloopdad1 replied to TorturedSaints's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Yes, just using the Tourte between the G&D strings does work quite well, but subtle - stand in front of your section with a "standard fit" mute then get them to switch to the top 2 strings and listen to the difference... It's not massive but it does make a bit of a difference. IMO Muting only really works well on seriously good very old English / Italian basses (£££££££). For us mere mortals stick it between the top 2 strings and give it a go. (after being told off for not being muted enough, those of us in the section with 5 stringers borrowed a second Tourte and used 2 - muting the G&D and the B&E strings at the same time ('cos we're badass 😎) .... It got us through a boring slog of Vaughan Williams with wry smiles on our faces!) -
Lenny Kravitz has a terrible song with no bass and Kid Rock has a song with the guitar solo in the wrong key. Train are just terrible but once decided to re-record a Led Zeppelin album in full note for note. That did not need to be done.

That's feasible. Fancy sharing the info? 😬 -
For sale due to an older Jazz Bass having come in and usurped it, this is a lovely player's grade 69 Jazz. Obtained in a trade on Basschat a while ago, I then had a professional nitro refinish done, including some delightful checking on the paintwork. Before I owned it it's had a replacement ebony fretboard with new binding, very professional job. I believe the pots and pickups are original, and pretty sure the bridge is too. Tuners are definitely original and are a little stiff but perfectly functional, they may benefit from some WD40 but not critical. Scratchplate isn't original either. Weighs in at 4.5kg according to my bathroom scales. Comes in a very cool but very heavy 70s/80s semi flight case, and will be very heavy to post so pickup/meet up greatly preferred. Alternatively I can provide a decent old gigbag instead. Can't upload pics here due to hitting my limit, if I can sort it out I'll add one here in a sec. https://ibb.co/WKM8BxV https://ibb.co/gzfGmTw https://ibb.co/44PSKT7 https://ibb.co/8d872QG https://ibb.co/B6Pn3Hd https://ibb.co/qCtqv32 https://ibb.co/5s6h36C https://ibb.co/t8Rcvn9 https://ibb.co/k5bqBGf https://ibb.co/fr99jGk https://ibb.co/7r5Sfjj https://ibb.co/MsYWsNc https://ibb.co/bHdvpz5 https://ibb.co/mhc9MH5 https://ibb.co/vxLR8Hb https://ibb.co/hdcfyqk https://ibb.co/8rwWfkm https://ibb.co/44RMwt4 https://ibb.co/f1c0JwZ https://ibb.co/2vR49PX https://ibb.co/h2KkRgF https://ibb.co/6D5sMcP https://ibb.co/crv8CBG https://ibb.co/JQ3zZSQ https://ibb.co/nkR7XMP https://ibb.co/tzmgST8 https://ibb.co/jfxgxzQ https://ibb.co/rF4yYB0 https://ibb.co/k0LfY7L https://ibb.co/1nd1R75

This is sort of a bass and sort of a guitar... absolutely as new, immaculate and beautiful to play and hear. 27.5 inch scale length, currently has baritone acoustic strings but would be just as happy with baritone electric ones, piezo pickup and sounds immense. Weighs only 3.2 kg according to my bathroom scales. £1750 plus shipping, or can be collected from High Wycombe or Marylebone station. They're about £4k new... https://ibb.co/N7b0Tbf https://ibb.co/Cs7QqHb https://ibb.co/LQRk6Q9 https://ibb.co/yV9KHKL https://ibb.co/yPkmvSB https://ibb.co/5kgxryC https://ibb.co/FsmCyxM https://ibb.co/MhGvxNq https://ibb.co/99gVb0k https://ibb.co/gSJ9Tv3 https://ibb.co/6vM0mJt https://ibb.co/dt2QRBB https://ibb.co/12YBLJ0 https://ibb.co/Jn9QDxN https://ibb.co/NF9H2QF
