  2. [quote name='Gust0o' post='1199751' date='Apr 14 2011, 06:48 PM']Any trades? Would swap for like Jazz; always a fan of the unusual; not averse to putting a little cash towards it... but not a massive amount. I'm having a crown reset this month, so my dentists demands all my money [/quote] What you need, is an Ibanez GWB-35.
  3. PM's replied to thanks.
  4. Erm....I forget who sold it to me...oh....Paddy McBride it was. Not sure if it's the same one Hagguy had originally, but it was pretty pricey when imported by all accounts.
  5. Yeah it really plays itself, very comfortable because the big cutaway on the back, beautiful fretboard too. I'm really not sure about this. I'll see if anything pops up then I think I'll just keep it. I also have a feeling it's an 80's rather than 90's bass. Others I've seen pictures of from the early 90's have higher serial numbers than this one. 80's....90's whatever it really doesn't matter, but it's a beautiful thing, and I'm talking myself out of selling it to be honest.
  6. GAS free? Me? Never! Ever! No.
  7. Cheers all for the nice comments. It's neck through..... Any marks you can see are reflections. The only marks on the back are very light ones that the camera wouldn't pick up. Edit: I'm interested in Warwick, Musicman and Spector 5ers, amongst other things, and I'd be happy to pitch both my basses together, this one and the Ibanez GWB-35 I also have for sale for a straight trade for the right bass, although there's no case with the Ibanez. I'm also interested in Fender Jazz if you have one.

  9. Don't assume this beauty is a rock bass alone, it isn't, I've played everything from jazz to metal and everything in between. Awesome slap tone too. I think the picture behind me was one that fell off the wall during the gig.
  10. Thanks for the offer mate, but not quite what I'm after.
  11. Why thank you sir, it sure is.
  12. Ibanez GWB-35. Superb fretless, in lovely condition, with only one small mark just under the pickup. I can't find another mark on it. Beautiful neck, great tone, it really is a fantastic instrument, I just don't need it at this point, and I'm saving for another purchase. No case though. TRADED
  13. FS/FT is my ESP Horizon. Made in Japan in the early 90's, this bass is not to be confused with the cheaper Ltd range, this thing is pure quality. EMGs, 34" scale, beautiful Ebony board, low action, utterly fab bass, powerful, clean highs, gut wrenching lows, so much so that pictures fell of the wall during our last gig. Rarer than rocking horse s***, and complete with it's ESP case, I traded out my Spector Euro 4LX to get it, so I'm after [b]£600[/b] or a trade for something interesting, 5 strings prefered. I am after a Schecter Model T if anyone has one, plus cash my way, or a Precision or Jazz (4 or 5) Genuinely reluctant to sell it, so I may just keep it, depending on interest. NOW GONE.
  14. I've ummed and aahhd about this bass for a couple of weeks, someone put me out of my misery and buy it. Bump.
  15. Prosebass/Lakland 5, Ibanez GWB-35, ESP Horizon 5.
  16. Broadcaster no, Thunderjet yes. It was a work of art to look at, really beautiful, nicely built, and if I could've hung it on my wall to look at I'd still have it now, but I just didn't like it at all to play. Tonewise it was pretty dull and unexciting, and no matter what I did, I couldn't find a tone I liked at all, but I guess it's horses for courses, what didn't suit me would float someone elses boat I'm sure.
  17. First bass owned: Columbus Jazz Go To bass: ESP Horizon Your bass: Fender Jazz

    [quote name='proy900' post='1183701' date='Mar 31 2011, 07:02 PM']It is a beautiful bass. Why don't you come up and give it a bash? I play it through a VBA400 & VBC810 I lived in Macc nearly all my life untill i moved to congleton with the missus. Lived on the Weston. Feel like i've seen you around. Do you get in the swan with two necks?[/quote] I haven't been in there no, but I should, we're after somewhere else to play other than the Ship Inn on Beech Lane. I'll have a think about money, it might be out my reach having just moved into my own gaff, but it's gorgeous bass that.

    Sold!

    ....and you're just up the road from me......gahh.........tempting.
  20. Have you got any pictures of the bass as it looks now Li?
  21. Good choice in music!! Good start!! It really does depend how much you want to spend. As always, you get what you pay for, but for a couple of hundred quid or more you can get a great bass. I'm a big fan Ibanez and Yamaha, you can't go too far wrong there in my opinion, but Warwicks are great basses, and as said above, the Rockbass stuff which is the budget end of the range if you like can be really good too. However you can pick up second hand Warwick Standard basses for 300-400 quid, it depends how much you've got. It's difficult if your local place has half a dozen pieces of crap and not much else, but if you can, take your time looking, and get to a couple of decent music stores if you can, it'll be worth the effort. The Yamaha BB basses are really good, don't know about the weight, but the range of tones really is killer for the money, and again, Ibanez don't make many duffers, at least, I've never come across one. Good advice to get some help from someone who knows about basses and get them to go with you too.
  22. Depends a lot on what you want mate. Are you a rocker, or a funk machine, a pop player etc etc. [b]Golden rule number 1[/b], go and try some basses in as many shops as you can get to. Find one you like the look of, and sound of, and feel of, and that is within your budget and start from there. PLEASE don't just buy one from ebay if you don't know what you're looking for. Yamaha BB basses (BB414 for example) are great, Ibanez RBX basses (RBX170 for example) are great value, and Squier classic vibe basses too, but you really must go and try some out to get a feel for what you like, that's so very important. Go and try as many as you can before you do anything else!!
  23. Tried to sell mine for 225 quid recently ha ha....obviously a bit on the steep side I guess. 120 is a good price though, I still use my Fleabass for gigs and rehearsals, sounds great, plays great and always draws a crowd in the pub.
  24. [quote name='Clarky' post='1179682' date='Mar 28 2011, 04:14 PM']+1 and happy birthday you old fart![/quote] Cheers Geezer, I'm preparing cake and crisps as we speak.
