    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!
  3. 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?

    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!
  7. Kev
    Honestly the coolest basses, would absolutely love one of these!
  8. 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...

    Really like the aesthetics of the purple, how much are these coming in at?

    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?
  13. 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??
  14. 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!

    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?
  16. 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.
  17. Kev
    I can't believe they charge that much for CNC. Sickening.
  18. Kev
    At least they added the handbuilt feel with the neck bolt arrangement...

    Bluetooth isn't usable in a live music environment, latency is too high sadly.
  20. Kev
    There is absolutely nothing wrong with using CNC, gear snobbery beyond any kind of sense. What if a luthier used a drill to screw parts in and instead of using a screwdriver? Time for a boycott? I think people do get this mixed up with mass produced production line, which of course use CNC but its not the CNC bit that cheapens or otherwise reduces quality of the final product.

    The John Taylor model was a significant markup from a regular NG/Combustion, whereas the Status doesn't seem to be any markup at all. Must be somewhere in the region of £1,500 for a 2 pickup 4 string model. In the current market its not a bad pricing model for UK built basses, but I just don't recall the graphite models being much more?
  22. Kev
    0db should be unity so I'd check its set to that and compare levels cables and wireless. Guess it depends what preamp you're running it into but I've never experienced it causing anything to clip.
  23. Kev
    I can't unsee this unfortunately, even the finishes in these pictures don't look spectacular (though they aren't great pictures). It just looks all a little budget, yet not budget priced.
  24. Kev
    How so? Uninformed as I am, I would have assumed woodworking would be more a risk to health, inhaling sawdust etc.
  25. Kev
    Nice to see you on the forum Cici It's not all grumpy old men on here, we promise!
