Fancŷ going spiky??

Its a shame your after a Fender style bass, my spiky Warwick is about as different as its possible to get.

Withdrawn

Stryker??

Mustaine used the Jackson KV with two long points. Anthrax used these RR ones early on but they seem to few and far between. I think Andy Sneap (Sabbat) used one but I think it was a Fernandes, it was a long time ago. I bought for nostalgic reasons and its now just a wall ornament. Not fair on the wood that grew etc etc

Your right. Hammett has done pretty well for himself though, i doubt he worries about these things much ha ha.

He must be the guitar's most famous user?

[color=#333333]Jackson Randy Rhoads 5 Floyd Rose as new and in mint unmarked condition. Fitted Jackson hard case. Thru neck with Seymour Duncan pups and top line original Floyd Rose. Amazing guitar as Kirk Hammett uses, its the top of the Japanese range. It's not being used so looking to trade for :

Gibson SG, LP Studio or Telecaster[/color][color=#333333].

This was £900 new not long ago and is an unused gift :: NOW ONLY £500 [/color]

At the minute every bass I look at is overpriced because I can't afford what I want.
As for fodera I was offered one a while ago before I bought my mike lull but I was hesitant because I didn't know if it was out of my league and I'd look stupid playing a bass like that as badly as I do.
But. I played a fender made in China jaguar at lunchtime today and nearly bought it until I thought about all the impulse buys that crashed and burned in the past. It knocked lumps bumps and spots off the p and j mim hanging beside them at 200 quid more.
All depends on expectation, the setup of the bass, the amp and the sound you want to hear.
Why spend 5000 quid on a bass though to get a p and a j sound when you can spend 1500 quid on two real USA basses. A precision and a jazz.....? I am guilty of this previously so I am merely lamenting my own stupidity here not pickin a fight with anyone.
I'm gonna sell my mike lull tc5 and buy the jaguar. Anybody want a cheap TC5 ?

Trade???

I use these guys for all enhanced insurance. They specialise in cargo insurance and are not too bad cost wise. The guy I speak to is Peter Williams who sort it all very quickly. You can then use you regular courier with some peace of mind that your properly covered. For instance: Ive sent to Hungary / Spain / Greece and USA.

There is an effective process of striping the hardware and electrics, using scotchbrite pads for dirt and swear etc and then a light all over sanding and Wax. I did it to an old streamer of mine ages ago and it worked a treat, the bass looked a million dollars afterwards. Have a search through the repairs section, its there somewhere.

Sorry i can't be more specific.

Good luck

So no trades then, just trying to clarify and save Tim

:-))

Im having random thoughts about how great life would be if I had a Mike Lull 5 string Thunderbird in Black. All my problems would disappear. Mind you, they ( my problems ) promised to do that once i'd bought my first Warwick.

Sounds like he didnt have it set to give out bottom end, if you need bottom end on a Warwick its there. Its German made which should give you an idea how it works. The tools are there but youve got to know how to use them. Never even heard of a W bass without growl n balls n lots of bottom, it may be faulty or programmed wrong.

A huge amount of Love from me.

Ive been a mahoosive fan since I ordered my first Fortress in 97, swiftly followed by matching fretted and fretless Thumbs ( wedding gift) ive been on a 15 yr journey of GAS and always landed a Warwick. I'm pretty sold on my collection now and am toying with exchanging one for a 5 string. As time goes on its getting harder and harder to choose so my little savings pot is being replenished as often as I can.

I cant say enough about MEC as they have given me zero hassles, hardware is rocksolid and the truss works a treat.

A Class Act IMO
Vampyre missing from this pic. I love them all

Wonder if this could be converted to play right handed? That would surely be the weirdest bass in the world.

Not many of these around!!!!

Theres timing, I was just about offer you my Dolphin Pro 1. Never mind ;-)

Ive seen this bass. Its a beauty!!!!
Kev is cool to deal with also! Top man GLWTS

Thats beautiful, I considered this when it was at Bass Direct.
Wish I had the right bass to trade. A class piece of kit.

Thanks for the offers but nothing worked out.
Best start saving for that 5 string

LOL. Lets get back to the Dolphin eh?

Any 5 string traders??

Ive recently had to give up gigging because of health issues and its been very difficult to adjust. Ive tried selling gear but I really dont want anything to go so I decided to hang on to stuff.

Anyway, my point here is that I suffered the old hand issues and also had big problems with Tennis Elbow (outer arm) and Golfers Elbow (inner arm). I was taking anti inflammatories before gigs etc. It was horrible.
After years of suffering and seeking treatments etc my GP suggested Accupuncture. He had just done a course on it and wanted to try it on me. It worked!!! 4 Sessions and I was playing like John Entwistle (he he) but seriously, the arms and hands healed perfectly.

It doesn't hurt and I had 3 needles:
1) Forearm
2) Side of Hands
3) Elbow

Try it. It was a bit of a miracle for me. It may be for you too. There must be practitioners in your area, may be worth giving them a bell and finding out.

Hope it helps.

Thats soo nice!! good luck
