    There is no set rule on what scale length is right for a B string. I have never noticed much of a difference between the 33", 34" and 35" basses I have had. Worst B I have encountered was a Peavey 35". What I don't like is the feel of a D and G (and C on 6 strings) on a 35inch or more scale. For me, Dingwall get it spot on with the multi scale lengths for string balance, but the first position is not the most comfortable at all. Generally, if you discount Fanned frets, for me the best balance comes from 34" and I have chose that scale length for my Alpher build as a result It's all subjective what is best, however to say the longer the better as a general rule is wrong

    Ha. I tried to buy that instrument from Tom for years and he kept finding an excuse not to sell it to me, or just ignoring my emails! How did you get it off him? Give me a shout if you decide it isn't for you!

    Did you still have the Kalium strings? I'll take what you have if so Kev

    Perhaps I am biased, but the Alpher single cut design all the way for me

    Kev replied to Flex's topic in Basses For Sale

    I have just decided that I cannot let mine go. For £1,100, it is just too good. Seriously, ignore where it is made, this bass is equal to the Canadian Afterburner models - in fact for me due to the pickups and preamp config it is better than the standard afterburners. The only Dingwalls I would consider looking at over this is the AB1 5/3, Z2 and Z3 models, and they all start at some way over double the new cost of this bass. Buy it, you won't regret it.

    Passive as indicated in the spec list Something new to me, having never played a passive Warwick before (most Warwicks have active pickups so are never truly passive, despite the active/passive switch!). It really does allow the sound of wood to come out

    Very recently purchased off this here parish on a whim, no idea why as I just don't play 4 string instruments anymore! This is a stunning example of a corvette, really wonderful condition with a lovely bubinga body and figured wenge neck, very slim and fast. A wonderful example that has been really well looked after. Has the added bonus of brand new black Warwick hardware. The Just-a nut II still has its side tabs in tact, which Warwick owners will know is quite an achievement! Those who know me know that I have had previously owned over a dozen Warwicks, most being older NT types, and this more than holds its own. Specs: Bass: Corvette Standard 4 string Bass Serial Number: ******98 Year: 1998 Neck Wood: 3 pcs. Wenge Wood with contrasting figures Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut II Tedur Version Neck construction: Bolt-On Body: 2 pcs. Bubinga Surface: Oil Finish Pickups: EMG Passive Dynamic Correction Electronic: Passive Electronics Hardware: Warwick Black Hardware Comes with a padded Fender gig bag and a Levis strap with the strap locks. Pictures: Looking for £450 collected in Leamington Spa or delivered by me at a reasonable distance. Shipping would be extra and can be quoted as required. No trades please. Cheers!

    No picture updates worth posting at the moment, however she is not far away from completion now. Ziricote Knobs are carved, Nordstrand/Dingwall hybrid electronics are almost ready to be installed and a few more coats of oil and we are there!

    Still available for the moment . Really after cash here folks, and happy to drive to deliver myself, providing you don't live in lands end or John o groats!

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445910630' post='2895363'] The one that really pisses me off "will travel 25 miles radius for petrol money" If somebody want's to sell Kev, IMO, they need to be willing to show a little compromise AND put a big effort into it. Asking for petrol money (especially in that instance, a fivers worth) is (again IMO) putting a barrier up to the sale. Say I live 70 miles away and want to buy something. If I'm happy to drive 45 miles to meet up, the seller really should be prepared to drive 25 miles at no extra charge, to meet up. Of course people can set whatever terms and charges they wish. But it might be an idea for them to look at it from a potential buyers point of view. I'm hoping wholeheartedly I'm finished buying/trying/selling. To achieve that I will need to STOP LOOKING AT BLOODY PICTURES in the "Basses for sale" [/quote] Completely agree about those kind of distances, and agree that if the buyer is travelling too then there should be no contribution expected. However, if a buyer in Scotland wants me to deliver their bass to them ( I am in Warwickshire) as they don't trust couriers and they don't drive themselves , offering to do so for petrol money is imo perfectly acceptable.

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1445900656' post='2895302'] You're right its a proper Ding fest on here just now! Super P's and J's and the combustions! I've been on the Combi III all evening the neck is just sublime! [/quote] Like busses, it seems .

    What a bizarre thread. There are umpteen reasons why the weight of a bass may be very important to people. For me, I have found a bass's tone to be very much linked with its weight, and as such as a general rule I don't like super lightweight basses, so I tend to go as heavy as my back will allow. I have happily played a 13lb Warwick, and have been disappointed with a 7lb Warwick. I am sure there are others who are like me, and equally I am sure there are others who think the opposite and light basses sound 'better'. I am sure there are people who would also say weight has no impact on tone. And of course, there is the most common reason in that people who have issues with their back simply cannot play basses over 9lb. All quite simple really. For me, there is nothing 'baffling' at all about people asking about the weight of an instrument.

    Love these basses Only the fourth I have ever seen for sale, and a fair price too. Interesting about the preamp, I always assumed the push pull was a coil tap ala Dolphin, however if the balance still pans between coils in this mode then that clearly isn't what it does!

    Just purchased a bass from Chris. Despite my attempts at trying to get him lost (managed to give him my address wrong!) he found me and the bass is a corker. Cheers!

    Need to get out there so looking for a cover band to join. I would list what I know but to be honest I am happy to play most stuff and would be able to learn a set pretty quickly Rock band preferably, leaning towards heavier stuff rather than poppy, but generally I will do anything! Ideally my age group (mid-late twenties), but again, happy to try anything. Will have my own gear, have my own transport and happy to assist others. Shoot me a pm!
