[quote name='FuNkShUi' post='604887' date='Sep 21 2009, 07:35 PM']+1 love to play in a disco/funk band aswell as the one im in already. Cant seem to get one started though [/quote] Thanks for the comments - its nice to know we are doing something right, I run the band and I must say we are really struggling to get bookings at the moment. I guess the issue is how much we charge, half the band are professional musicians that wont go out for less than £150 a night, so it bumps our price up and thus folks cant afford to hire us. Equally the guys have to make a living - catch 22 situation!

Thanks Ped - I will be sad to see this go but my musical needs have changed and the Warwicks just seem to get all the playtime, this is simply too good of a bass to sit on a stand all day looking pretty!

Thanks for the good words guys! Fretmeister - String Spacing wise, its actually fully adjustable to suit your taste (with obvious consideration to the neck profile etc), however I find that as it stands, its not too tight for a bit of slapping but also not so wide your fingers are stretching all over the place when you play fingerstyle. I have got the custom specifications somewhere, just need to dig them out and Ill see if I can get them scanned in, you have a PM anyway!

Hi Mate! I working in Wigan on tuesday, drop me a PM if you fancy meeting up for a beer monday night (travelling up overnight) - ask Mike too!

Hi Guys, Im seriously considering moving on my Vigier Passion Series III 5 string, as I tend to play warwicks so much more than anything else now. Ill only consider letting this go in a trade for a Warwick Streamer Stage 2 5 string, Im not particularly interested in anything else and I would find it hard to let this bass go for anything less as this is an incredible instrument! I may regret this..... I believe this is a 1989 neck thru series 3 which Patrice Vigier doesnt make anymore to my knowledge (Ped will know all about this bass as it was his prior to my ownership!). Its fitted with a set of Elixir Nanowebs that are fairly new, hardly played, and the action is very low - credit card thickness or just under at the 8th fret and there is no buzzing. Its a fast neck and aside from a few very minor cracks in the laquer, this bass looks impeccable for its age. Specs: Serial # - 086 - 23/04/1991 5 string Custom model - Maple/alder/Maple body NECK Neck through body, featuring the 10/90 Neck System™ (10% carbon with 90% naturally dried and aged maple wood).
