  1. I am getting a serious hankering for a vintage Warwick Thumb bass now!!! I really regret selling my 88 thumb bass... (Madness) The sound and build of early Warwick's so much better in my humble opinion..GLWTS of your vintage Warwick's
  2. I agree wholeheartedly about being to cheap for a hen's teeth, rocking horse s**t rare and beautiful bass. Seems to be the going price though!!😀
  3. Hi folks. Rare and in excellent, near pristine condition..This is from 1986 and is in a beautiful and incredibly rare LO finish. Light Oak. I remember wanting one of these top of the range Westone basses, by going into Gordon Simpsons music shop in Stafford street, Edinburgh in 1986!! I made do with my wonderful Thunder 1A instead, but obviously never had the money then for the Super headless. One came up on eBay before Chrimbob and I treated myself. (Sorry I digress) So this is the XK1900 model with the magnaflux V jazz pick ups. 3 way pick up selector switch. Active on/off, phase on/off switches (I think?) volume, tone, bass/treble control knobs. Seven piece maple/walnut neck, 24 fret rosewood neck, frets in excellent condition. Alder body and Light Oak top.Westone tuners and bridge (super precise) Sounds amazing. 18 v Electronics all work perfectly. 1.5 inch nut. 33.75 scale..Very low action and slim playable jazz style neck with the slap contour on the body!! Bar one small mark (see last picture) by bottom strap button it is pristine. Not bad for a 34 year old bass!! Shipping to mainland UK included in the price. This is the going rate for these basses. Should be considerably more in my opinion. I would doubt you will find one in this good a condition. unless new and unearthed out of a time capsule...😀 Any questions please PM me Cheers

  10. Thanks Clarky😀 I was seriously interested in your bass too,when it was up for sale. It was also a stunner!! Cliff certainly builds beautifully crafted basses. Not to many CB basses this side of the pond alas.
  11. The sale fell through unfortunately ☹️ So back up,at a come and buy my price of £950 ono price,which for this quality is a an out and out bargain!!!😀 please message with any questions..Thanks Hi Folks.Having a re-edit on this to hopefully stir up some interest..plus a few corrections..sorry! This is a CB Ball lined fretless bass dating back to 2009. www.cbbasses.com Purchased from www.thelowend.net..you can find more info in Thier sold bass thread under CB basses. It is a 32 inch (medium scale) Ebony nut 1.5 inch.Width at 24th position 2.625 inch and corrected weight 8.2 lbs not as previously stated 12lbs!!!! It features a beautiful Blood wood top and headstock veneer..2 piece mahogany core..stunning walnut back..slim and fast maple and wenge neck..beautiful accent veneers at neck (see photos) and a lined ebony fretless board..in excellent condition..position dots are on the notes....Finished in a tung oil/resin.. It has a hipshot bridge and ultralight tuners..Nordstrand SE's pickups encased in ebony pick up covers..lovely touch this.A removable ebony ramp between pickups..ebony control knobs are volume/pan/tone passive.. For disclosure..the neck had a small shrinkage split by the E string near the nut, that was professionally repaired by Jon Shuker..no movement whatsoever in 7 years..Jon said very common on ebony and maple necks..Was not a problem then and now, and does not affect the integrity of this wonderful bass..There are a few light marks on the upper edge (see photo) but overall in excellent condition... I am selling because This beautiful unique bass needs played..I look at it,and admire it..but in reality I am not a fretless player!! This will make someone very happy I have no doubt..The medium scale makes it a breeze for playing..Oh yes and sounds amazing too!! Can courier.. In terms of build quality.This is comparable to my Sei Flamboyant bass,and that is saying a lot! Wonderful luthier skills in this beauty!!! No trades please.. but open to offers (money) lol.You never know..👊😀

  18. This beautiful bass is a true masterpiece in looks and craftsmanship!!!The fingerboard keeps bringing me back to have a another look..Alas out of funds to buy this! GLWTS
  19. Absolutely stunning basses!!!😀😀 GLWTS
  20. I have been fortunate to own a Vigier Series11 passion bass, and am a current owner for the last ten years of a Vigier passion 111..Both truly wonderful instruments. In my honest opinion. much better than the series IV bolt on Arpege with the all singing and dancing Glockenklang preamp I had briefly.I will hasten to add it took me about 15 years to find the passion 111 bass!!! They don't come up that often and the series 11 basses less.Patrice Vigier made and makes superlative basses and once you dial in your sound you won't look back..On the Warwick front..I have owned a 1990 thumb 4 bass which was a truly fantastic bass (why did I sell it) then bought a 1998 thumb which was total pants!!
  21. I thought this was an out and out bargain at £650 which was a great price! but at £425 you are getting a truly wonderful instrument at a give away price!!! Somebody will be getting an amazing bass here😀😀 GLWTS again..
