[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1406557074' post='2512393'] Thanks, much appreciated. I've now touched it up as best as I can and I'm going to stop fiddling, it'll never be perfect but it's been a nice, simple and cheap upgrade. So finally..... [IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/488cb0b0c876534467fbbfbb91caa50d_zpsa8656627.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/46b5a5350fd454ecaf613df5a820ecae_zpsdea83790.jpg[/IMG] [/quote] looks pretty damn nice. I'm contemplating sanding the Warwick I'll be getting (hopefully) tomorrow but have no real clue of there's anything I should keep in mind while doing it. any words of wisdom would be appreciated as you done a great job on the Ibanez!

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1406503510' post='2512035'] It worries me the Warwick I want will be too difficult for me to obtain. I have had my head turned a little by the Sterling Ray 34 today, I must admit. I always loved Stingray slap tones but had doubts over the fingerstyle sound being a little clunky. This Ray 34, though, seems a bit smoother. It seems like quite an instrument for the money, too. Must play one and see. [/quote] used to have one of the Sterling Ray 34's. great basses and I seriously miss having that stingrays sound however I found the neck to be insanely uncomfortable to play for long periods of time. In the end I'm sticking to Warwick at the moment, at least until I get my hands on my ACG.

The one that got away and the one best shut of...

1. I got a cheap Ibanez Sr605 not too long ago that I wish I held onto. 2. had an OLP musicman that was Defretted badly. played and sounded horrible. sold it on gumtree to one of the rudest men I've ever had the misfortune to meet. -

Didn't Ben Stiller play drums with Tenacious D at one point?

To cut a long story short I love my Warwick Corvette and wish to keep it however my shoulder doesn't agree! The bass comes in at 6kilos! I've been considering getting a mono strap to help with the weight issue But at the moment I'm unemployed and the £36 is quite a bit of an expense but if it saves my shoulder from getting buggered. basically my question is "Are Mono straps worth the money?"

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1406162364' post='2509003'] No, this trick is for kidnappers who wish to prove that their hostage is (was..?) still alive at such-and-such a date, usually recent. Anyone can take a picture of an [i]old [/i]newspaper, well after its publication date. It doesn't show ownership at the original date of the paper. Stems from watching too many Yankee films, I wouldn't wonder. Just sayin'; the rest is pukka stuff. [/quote] Failing that. Post a picture on tinterwebs of you with the serial number. Date will always be the same on that? But yes, if you don't want gear stolen, buy a Hofner.

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1406113940' post='2508403'] Such an awesome bass for the price. A German piece of Warwick win for £370 is a bargain. The fill is purely cosmetic. The neck is really straight and it has a brand new Warwick dual action truss rod which the luthier fitted when repairing and planing. [/quote] Agreed Chas. I'm not actually bothered if this goes or not (a little unsure if I want to keep it up here tbh!) but as it's my only bass the weight is an issue. But I will have the ACG in the not overly distant future so once that's here the weight won't be an issue!

Bought this bass not too long ago and it sounds amazing but as I don't drive and have to carry it everywhere, the weight is a slight issue for me. (Curses of being unbelievably weak!) From the previous owner - "It came to me with a broken truss rod. After taking it to a guy who thought he knew what he was doing, I discovered the neck was twisted too. Anyway the guy took the fretboard off and planed a little too much. The area you see in the photos was filled with the dust from the Ovangkol neck, and wood glue+filler." Despite the previous issue the bass plays fantastic (although could use a setup if you like a real low action) and has been my main bass since I got it. One of the screws on the nut (plastic not brass Just a nut) of the bass doesn't appear to work but there is currently a little bit of paper under that side of the nut to prop it up (treble side). Again, this doesn't affect playability and I haven't had a problem with it. I am also using the previous owners pictures (just until I can take some of my of my own but the bass is in the same nick as it was when I got it and has recently been waxed. Comes with the Warwick handbook. Ideally looking for a trade however I'm not exactly sure of what I want a trade for! Preferably a 5/6 string but I'm not overly fussy (just nothing with a Precision pickup). Can also add up to about £200 towards the right trade. 34" scale length Bubinga Body, Ovankal neck, wenge fretboard 2 band preamp (active passive toggle) MEC J pickups Weight - just under 6 Kg Happy to post at buyers expense but I don't have a box or a gig bag for it at the moment which may be an issue... Any questions just ask as I've probably missed out some info Cameron

Not what a well dressed bass wears.

That headstock made me vomit a little. -
My main tip for bass playing is don't take advice on bass playing from me.

Time to revive this thread perhaps? Other night I realised I had basically became worse at bass than I was 3 years ago (been playing 4 years) so deciding to learn songs that challenge me, starting with this one by Tesseract. Couldn't get the tone right [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccrQewW1Fp8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccrQewW1Fp8[/url]

Headstock string reminders , what a great idea !!!!!
Cameronj279 replied to Ktmman's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Maybe need to do that just so guitarists don't get confused when trying to find out what I'm playing on the 5 string... -

[quote name='dc2009' timestamp='1405295017' post='2500577'] Anyone got any idea what a Warwick flight case is worth? The basses I can price vaguely but really not sure on the case. [/quote] Can't quite remember what I sold mine for but I think it was about £70.
