Okay, definitely in the wrong place. You should probably - (a) post a "what's this worth" thread in the 'Bass Guitars' forum here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/16-bass-guitars/"]http://basschat.co.u...6-bass-guitars/[/url] - that will give you some idea of the market price. - (b ) have a look and a search in the 'Basses For Sale' forum here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/19-basses-for-sale/"]http://basschat.co.u...asses-for-sale/[/url] - that will also help you to set a price. - (c ) post a For Sale thread, with pics (or a link to them on, say, Photobucket) and a good description (including the actual model - "Warwick" doesn't tell us much . If you set the price too high, then nobody will buy it. So, price high and be prepared to reduce the price till you get takers. Be aware that you MUST post a price - this is not an auction site - and that there is a £20 fee to sell anything valued above £50 (I think). (If you're really not sure what model it is, post pics and ask for help. Someone will be able to tell you.) Good luck with your sale

I think the mods do an excellent job, generally. I've no complaints (apart from the GAS...) and I'll happily stump up the £20 some time soon. Also, I think the existence of this thread is a sign of the general health of the forum.

From what I hear, Mozart was an insufferable tosser.

Points to Voodoosnake, for having brains, manners and courage. Good for you.

I don't like Explorers... or metal. Or green guitars. But that is epic

PMed.

I handled a UK purchase for Javier when the seller refused to deal with anyone outside the UK. Javier has been a gentleman throughout.

Bought Nick's spare copy of Simandl book 1. A nice clean transaction with nothing but good things to say. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Nick

Too weird. Why would you build that? I suppose you could use it as a lap steel, but I don't think there's much market for the bass version...

[quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1365532698' post='2040861'] I had a Synapse a few years ago, and it was just a piece of metal screwed securely into the body at one end, and with a hook at the other end that you hooked your strap onto. Simple enough, and it did work, but it always felt slightly unstable to me. How about a small bag of lead weights hung from the strap button at the bridge end? Cheaper than $39.99 plus shipping and duty from the States for a bit of tungsten steel! [/quote] Thank you. I guessed as much but was never sure. I've wondered about the use of a perspex plate to add mass to the body. Attached to back of body using cover-plate screw and an extended neck screw; should add mass invisibly and reversibly, and without altering the feel of the bass much. Obviously this would work only for flat-backed bodies. I did buy a slab of plastic (when I bought mcnach's Shine ASAT-alike) but never got round to shaping and fitting it.
