    In a big shock, a conversation about 4 Vs 5 is getting heated... Don't make things personal, play nice, show us that you all can have civilised conversation on this. If we get many more reports on this, you know how it ends 👍🏻

    I've been on strictly 4's only for over 4 years now and I've never looked back. I play original metal in Drop B tuning BF#BE, which does everything I need. I rarely use a "G" string as I don't like the timbre of the notes on the thinner wire, so I don't miss it at all, and my hands prefer the narrower neck. Also, in drop B tuning on a double octave neck, I have every note a 21 fret 5 string in regular tuning has

    Oof Last time GAS went that suddenly, Putin began his special military operation 💀

    Have to say, if you're going to charge postage rather than build it into your prices, £2 is far too cheap these days. Non-commercial it must cost at least £3.50-£4.00 these days for a tracked delivery of something like strings, so £5 isn't terrible and is in line with other music retailers.

    They did try and attach a file to the sales post but it wasn't an image file, so assume it was an error and the intention was there!

    Absolutely, I loved Iron Ether gear but now its just eyewateringly expensive compared to what it used to be when he distributed to US stores. I guess he has his reasons for reducing production to the extent he has, but man its frustrating! I really wanted the Subterragraph but even new he's asking some $800 for it now, and after import and shipping that stings something fierce! Would love this xerograph, nicest box he's done for it as well.

    I'd be more concerned about the buyer than Reverb, unless he knows a trick to scam sellers on Reverb and eBay have already figured him out?? I've never had an issue with Reverb. I haven't heard horror stories about them favouring the buyer in dispute like eBay does, so I wouldn't worry about that. But yeah, i'd definitely want to know more about that buyer before selling to him!

    Beautiful thing, SCREAMING for a matte black pickguard!
  10. Kev
    Well I feel silly now!! Haha sorry I didn't recognise the username bud, glad that bass is still with you! Still can't get over the grain on it

    This your first Masterbuilt Warwick? If so you're in for a treat, they're phenomenal instruments and, in my most humble opinion, completely put to bed the idea that the old ones are the best! Only thing I don't like is the rechargeable preamp, but thankfully there should be a regular 9v adapter in the kit pack so you can change it if you want. Beautiful bass, congrats!

    Beautiful, best example of his work I think I've seen. What are the body wings made from?
  13. Kev
    Honestly the coolest basses, would absolutely love one of these!
  14. Kev
    Oh just watched the videos, its much more gloss than the promo shots make out! That's a shame, I thought the matte look really set it off...
  15. Kev
    Really like the aesthetics of the purple, how much are these coming in at?
  16. Kev
    Can I hire out the wall for bass photoshoots please? But in all seriousness, this bass looks like such a cracking bit of kit for tiny money these days. I'd have had it weeks ago if didn't have to pay for bread and stuff. Someone snap this up!

    I've used Drop B tuning (BF#BE) on 4 stringers for 4 years to great effect. I always avoid using a G string wherever possible as I hate the timbre of the note so I don't miss it at all. In Drop B tuning, I also have every note a 5 string 21 fret bass would have available. Much prefer to playing a fiver, don't enjoy having to buy custom string sets to suit the tuning properly...

    Congrats, what a beast!

    Realise it's on hold now, but this is a screenshot of the Ad (price redacted) The Google translate isn't great but, assuming this must be the same bass, can you expand on the preamp issue and whether this has been repaired?
  20. Kev
    So cool! Love the finish, always fancied an old Vigier! The black area covering the neck pickup mod, can't make out what it is? Some kind of vinyl sticker or routed plastic/wood? Also, I think on Google I found a recent Ad for this, in Spanish but I think it suggests the preamp may have a fault??
  21. Kev
    Lovely instrument! Appreciate it's just for trade but we do need you to include a trade value/guide price for the bass in the thread title or post, assuming it isn't £12,345? Cheers, and best of luck with the trade!
  22. Kev
    When I looked at it I just figured it was a launch day offer for ones he's already built, and custom orders wouldn't work that way?
  23. Kev
    Yeah in fairness, that's only 6 basses worth in many cases now. Not a huge investment if you're building enough, which one assumes you would be if you're considering CNC.
  24. Kev
    I can't believe they charge that much for CNC. Sickening.
  25. Kev
    At least they added the handbuilt feel with the neck bolt arrangement...
