Tandro

Only bought a small item from Stuart (a book), but its like perfect as new condition. Easy transaction. Thanks Stuart!

Easy peasy deal. Bought a gig bag from Sam...a few messages back and forth, met up just a few hours later and boom, deal done! Buy with confidence people, I'll definitely not hesitate doing transactions with Sam in the future. Thanks for the gig bag!

I bought Paul's Streamer Jazzman. It was exactly as described and he went out of his way to ensure the bass got to me in proper condition. Great communications and a really nice guy to deal with. The bass is absolutely wonderful (oh yes!) and I would not hesitate buying from him again.

[/quote] hehehe...a friend showed me this video and it was hilarious when I saw it (my friend by the way has perfect pitch, darn it). I still have'nt transcribed a song end to end but people have time (and ears) to transcribe this...man...

OK, this is just for a bit of fun and there are no ground breaking techniques to be discussed. You may have seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og97jAm8DsU I'm having trouble transcribing a 'song', let alone something like this.

It really sucks, but I was coming and I'm unable to make it anymore I hope it goes well, or maybe there'll be some video from the show on Janek's site or something.

[quote name='Mog' timestamp='1316694454' post='1381542'] Yep, its a buyers market at the mo. Having said that it wasn't in great condition, but its nothing a few months wont sort out. Edit: To add to the point, JCM 800's are selling for about 250-300 euro in places, those are like gold dust 'round here. [/quote] What the...!? An SS1 for about £430. I need to get out of London...

Well guys, I thought about it all today and I won't go for my dream bass in 5 strings. Not that I don't want to or that I have anything against 5 (actually, I'm a bit more interested now to try it), but for more practical reasons. I could scrape together the money, but I would indeed be scraping it together and it just won't be the responsible thing to do, especially with recent events. As ppl have been wondering, the 5er I am SERIOUSLY GAS'ing for is the the Stage II in the for sale section. I know, I know, Warwicks are'nt for everybody...but I want a stage II so bad!!! If its one bass I need to own at some time, its that.Truth be said, three different 4 string versions did come up this year and they were about the price of this 5 or about £100 more I think (one was a definite no go though). But those were non UK sellers and maybe I just thought it would be more hassle(?)...no offence to the non UK sellers, plus I did not have the money This same 5 stringer has all the case candy etc. and has come up 3 times this year alone also! (Fate maybe for me to buy it? I wish). If I sell my current basses I could afford one, but I just really don't want to sell what I have, heh. I'll just stop watching the for sale section untill I _know_ I can comfortably buy what I want instead of freaking agonising over it every single time. Thanks for the comments guys. When I get that Stage II (4 or 5 string) everybody will know

Thanks guys for the replies. Don't get me wrong, I do eventually want a 5 string...but I had nothing carded to get it now. My sole motivation 'at this point in time' to even think about getting this _particular_ 5 string is because...well...I can't seem to get it in 4 string cheaper! The 4 string version of this was/is my dream bass. Really speaking, if there was a 4 string version of this bass right now at a price I could afford I would snap it up. Maybe that answers my own question. If I had a choice between the 4 or 5 of _this_ bass, I would buy the 4. Now mind you, if I could afford the 4 AND 5 in it I'd be happier than a pig in mud (I would naturally want to play the 4 normally and have the 5 there for when I needed it ) Having a 5 in the arsenal is a good thing. But having the overriding motivation to get the 5 'because I can't get it in 4 affordably' irks me somehow, like I'm just coping out. Like I feel I should bide my time and wait for the money and right bass to be there before spending. Or has been suggested, just get the 5 for that really long thumb rest

You guys are gonna laugh at me for this, but I've been wanting a particular bass for some time now. I had the money once, but don't anymore, Anyways, I've seen a couple times the 5 string version come up at a 'reasonable' price and been disappointed. But then I started actually thinking, I could buy the 5 string instead! Do I want to try 5 strings, sure. Did I really want to buy a 5 string anytime soon or have this great need to play them, no. I've never even tried a 5 string. I mean, I'd get a low B that must come in handy some time So really, I should not even consider spending a whole load of money to buy it, even if it is my dream bass. I must be ridiculous to even consider buying for this reason, right?
