    BUMP for the last few hours - both are going for supercheap prices at the minute!

    Had these up on the for sale. Originally hadn't intended to post the cab but a local delivery bloke offered me a good price so the cab is now being posted too. I had a jam earlier and my mum (I kid you not) walked in and told me I was being stupid to sell them because they sounded massive. She said, "Mat, what a warm and creamy phat bass tone you're getting there..." You know she's right.

Cheers, Mat.

But some later views showed that the frets were there, just with a similar discolouration as the fretboard. I also noticed the economy of effort in the left hand, and wondered if his choice of a six string was to get access to a greater range of notes without fretting a string![/quote] I think some Warwicks come with brass alloy frets - don't quote me on that but I used to have a corvette with darker coloured frets. I love toots; gutted I missed the set!

    good luck mate! don't forget to keep an eye on the piano player, has saved me from a few sketchy codas in the past!

    I do this with a heavy heart... but I have too much bass stuff for a guy that has resigned himself to wedding gigs and a small flat in london. I'll throw in a Peavey Mark III bass head (79-early 80s) if you take the both for £210, collected from Swansea. 210 watts @ 4 ohms, 300 watts @ 2 ohms. this thing is a TANK, the same amp that Steve Harris supposedly used on the first couple of Maiden albums. really nice gritty tone, and a CLASSIC bass combination. a tone so HUGE it warrants capital letters! this is a pic I ripped from the internet but mine is in identical condition. (bearing in mind it's an old machine and has worked perfectly for me over the last 4 years but it might need servicing in the future)

Me likey.[/quote] good call! never heard them before but I'm liking the original sound.. with regards to the Cottle vs. Jaco debate, he learnt from Jaco way back when, which I guess has a lot to do with it. I've heard him play some more chilled stuff and he takes on a completely different character - although still maybe a bit generic. (the whole Cottle family are fantastic, I'm swansea born and raised and Dave Cottle owns the jazz club just down the road from my parents. got to see some wicked gigs, Laurence quite often was the in-house player. particularly remember seeing Bill Bruford come down - that was a cracking gig.) still, hats off to the guy, he toured with Sabbath - not many jazz players can say that

    i'll keep my eyes peeled round and about mate... that's a beautiful bass, i hope things work out!

    Vintage and Rare Guitars, on Denmark Street. The bass collection isn't a pop on the guitar collection, but there's usually a couple of tasty 70s fenders, an old rick and some kind of hollowbody in there. The staff have always been nice to me too.

    I bought a beaten up bad monkey from a mate about 5 years ago. I paid a tenner for it, neither of us expected it would last that long due to having been thrown around a fair bit... amazingly, five years of gigging later it's still in 100% working order. haven't even had to replace a jack! it's definitely not a fuzz - but on the plus side, it leaves your mids in so you get a nice punchy sound that cuts through, without being overly harsh. works very nicely on guitar too as a poor man's tubescreamer.

    i borrowed a flatmates toneport the other day, for the first time. the bass tone was incredible - with some fine tuning and post-processing in ableton with good compression etc, i was actually blown away. such a good ampeg sound! the guitar tone wasn't quite as good as the bass tone but still easily as good as i could have gotten with a mic and a decent marshall. as for the valve debate... I insisted on buying a valve guitar practice amp (peavey nanovalve, FWIW) and stand by that decision.

    £165 bump... don't wanna go lower than this, it's already a lot less than I paid for it, and loads less than its worth.

    [quote name='sjohns' post='851899' date='May 30 2010, 04:20 PM']Good luck with the sale mate, if i could get shot of my 611 i would come down get this from you [/quote] cheers mate!! good luck with your sale too, send me a pm if you sell your cab! I'll price drop bump this to £170 - the RRP is around £500, Thomann selling for £415...

    gonna bump this up again - have been keeping this at my parents house and I think it's time for it to go. I'll take the Trace head out of the description and just sell the cab. looking for £180 ONO, ideally picked up from swansea... might drive as far as cardiff for some petrol money but I'm not willing to post - I don't have the time to pack it. cheers... may also consider trades for some guitar effects pedals (&cash) - a compressor, a nice reverb, maybe a POG or HOG, a volume pedal, whatever.

    I'm playing guitar mostly in a post rock band these days. I still play a lot of bass but I don't really need this pedal anymore, I get to make crazy sounds on guitar instead. what I would like though, would be a combination of money going either way and any of these pedals: an MXR Dynacomp (or similar compressor that works well on guitar!) a Line 6 DL-4 a digital reverb stompbox, preferably boss an EHX micropog/hog/pog a sturdy volume pedal shoot me a pm to negotiate. this multieffects unit comes with a power supply, an extension footswitch pedal, and all in a shiny metal hardcase that the previous buyer had organised. i can get pics of that if there's interest. so here's what it looks like - not my actual unit, but it might as well be: and as I say, any interest and I'll steal my flatmates camera for pics of this actual machine. all in good working condition, no major faults but i'll double check it before it goes anywhere. cosmetically it's good, it's used so there's a couple of scratches but it's been pretty well looked after. meeting would be ideal - i could meet in south wales, or london, or if you want to meet the last weekend of may i could meet on the way (bristol, bath, maybe birmingham etc). ta!

    when my older bro got his first electric guitar i used to pick it up and play along to songs... i was always more interested in picking out the bassline than anything else (especially following stuff like motown, ska, and funk) even though at the time i don't think i knew what a bass even was!
  22. Tech
    I'd love to get some stuff together but I won't have a chance due to exams! have played a few welsh weddings and they are always good fun.

    had one a few years ago, i can't remember what wattage - probably 60 watts with a 12" driver. it was great for the kind of stuff I was doing at the time (small gigs in community halls) and had a nice warm sound to it. i also recall it having a really cool red light on the bottom that was a nice touch. also for what it's worth, they had a load of the little ones (15 or 20 watts?) bought in at my old school and they lasted for a year at least - which, believe me, is very impressive.

    try out a stingray. warwicks have more wooly funk to them IMO but the necks tend to be a bit slower. i've heard good things about spector too but never really played one myself.

    7 years ago I bought a westfield PJ bass, which came with a calsbro 25 watt combo, for the grand total of £70 together (which took me about a year to save up!). it wasn't a squier like I was hoping I could get, but I played the hell out of it! (in retrospect that was a really nice bass as it was! i've still got it but I pulled the frets out about 5 years ago and epoxy'd the fretboard, sanded off half the finish, installed a piezo pickup under the bridge, i even installed a switch to change the capacitor on the tone dial! it's a nice fretless, but i'd love to refret it for nostalgia's sake...) as for the amp - it set on fire. (i kid you not - i usually think people make up stories like this, but it really did - i cacked my pants!!)
