  2. Hi all, After a few inquiries about couriering a bass overseas I've been left a bit confused! Earlier this month I contacted Ishibashi in Japan about importing a bass, and they (very quickly) replied stating that due to new CITES regulations they couldn't ship guitars/basses overseas containing Rosewood, as they had to apply for an export license to cover this. I'm asking because I have some interest from the US about a bass I have in the for sale section at the moment (shameless plug - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/301771-ft-warwick-streamer-jazzman-lx-5-string/page__p__3252685__hl__warwick%20streamer%20jazzman__fromsearch__1#entry3252685 ) and various international couriers have warned me that this bass may contain some woods which fall under CITES regulations - even though it was manufactured long before these came into effect (January this year I believe) and contains no Rosewood. Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues exporting or importing in the last few months, or if you could shed any more light on the matter because it's all getting a bit.... confusing! Starting to remember why I never sell to overseas buyers! Any info would be appreciated guys. Cheers!
  3. ****NOW SOLD**** Just putting the feelers out there. It's a stunning bass, all the Warwick growl you'd expect - just fancy a change (I have these silly ideas now and again!) 5 string, Made in Germany in 2003. Streamer shape swamp ash/AA flamed maple body, nirvana black (dark grey) natural oil finish, ovangkol neck, wenge fretboard, bell brass frets, Warwick 3D 2 piece bridge, Warwick Just-A-Nut 3. MEC humbucker and single coil pickups, MEC 3 band active preamp with series humbucker/ single coil/ parallel humbucker 3-way switch for the bridge pickup. Looks the part, plays and sounds great - cutting through the mix is never an issue! This was my main gigging bass and has a few small dents and marks but nothing major, generally in great condition. Includes Warwick Rockcase hard case, and Warwick User Kit - user manual, cleaning cloth, full pot of wax and all Allen keys included in this. Plus Warwick strap with Schaller strap locks. Also have original tags with serial numbers etc. Located in Bridlington, East Yorkshire but willing to travel within reason. Open to ideas for trades, I'm more of a Spector man than a Warwick one but anything considered really. Try me! Will upload pics when not posting from my phone! EDIT: Added more pics this morning.
  4. Stew bought a Marcus Miller V7 from me before Christmas. Great communications throughout, quick payment, and all in all a lovely chap. A pleasant, easy transaction! Would happily do business with again. Glad "Marcus" has found a good home! Many thanks!
  5. [b][u]NOW SOLD[/u][/b] Regrettably, up for sale is my Sire Marcus Miller V7 5 string. Bought earlier this year (April I think), one of the first run of these - unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to get one of the ones signed by the man himself! This is a great instrument in very good condition, which unfortunately has been mostly sat in it's case since I bought my Warwick. Since my gig schedule is rather lacking at the moment I can't justify owning it as a backup. Only gigged twice and spent it's life in a hard case! Will be posted well packaged in it's original box. Postage is included in the price of [s]£285[/s] [b]£265[/b], and will come well packaged in it's original box. Of course collection would be welcome from Bridlington, East Yorkshire - price [b]£240[/b] without postage. Alder body, 34" scale C shape maple neck, 20 frets. 46mm nut width. The onboard preamp (called the Heritage 3 I believe) on these basses is fantastic. Stacked pots with bass boost/cut, sweepable mid boost/cut and treble boost/cut. Any questions please PM me. Thanks for looking! More pics to follow.

  7. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1427835122' post='2734927'] Is the black one,the only 5er that is in stock at thoman? [/quote] It sure is - didn't fancy waiting for the white blonde to come back in stock. Was a toss up between the 2 anyway!
  8. Great review. In fact I've just ordered a black Alder 5er on the strength of this! Can't wait!

    Top bloke to deal with, fast payment and great communication throughout. Would be happy to deal with again. Thanks mate
  10. Hi, based in Bridlington (East Yorkshire). Would be willing to meet halfway within reason. Yes the Nordstrand does make a big difference, a mate of mine has one with the original pickup in and the difference is very noticeable when A/B'd.
  11. Hi all, I bought this bass off ryancowell25 a few months ago, unfortunately I can't justify a bass as great as this sitting around doing nothing. I'm operating on a last in, first out policy at the moment, plus I aren't gigging anymore and am in need of the money! It's in immaculate condition, last month it had a full set up and I restrung it with a set of DR Hi Beams. The pickup was already upgraded when I bought it with a Nordstrand MM5.2 - which is the closest thing out there to a pre-Ernie Ball Musicman pickup - it sounds great. I'll include the original pickup too and a padded gigbag. Looking for £240 delivered UK. Collection is welcome at £220. Here's a link to the original thread with pics: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227729-tony-levin-olp-another-price-drop-price-drop-l240sold/page__hl__tony%20levin%20olp"]http://basschat.co.u...y%20levin%20olp[/url] Feel free to PM with any questions. Thanks for looking
  12. Bought an Ashdown head off Johnny - great communication and posted the amp straight away. Pleasure doing business with you!
