    Sue Ryder Bass Arrived

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted · Edited by Evil Undead

    Woo! Mine has arrived (thanks Tom), neck traded (thanks Ste), pick guard fablon-ed, pickup covers changed, and that's it!

    I personally think it looks great. Sounds and plays ok... I can't give it much more than an ok, but for the price, definite bargain.

    Edit: Ah crap I just broke a string. Never done that before.

    Obligatory picture...

    Are there any real benefits to buying a bass brand new?

The colour/fretboard combinations are always planned to tempt you into buying USA versions, The only rw boards I have are on my acoustic and Squier Jazz I would always go for maple if it's on offer.[/quote]

    Would you say that for example a Squier CV is better quality than a MIM Fender?

    Buying from a shop that's had it on display for 6 months & has been played by 473 people doesn't count as new :)[/quote]


    I agree. But my local music shop keep bugger all basses in stock, so they order in what you want :lol:

    I have major gas for that Matt Freeman signature Squier, and pretty sure I won't be finding one of those used yet! But don't wanna just throw money at something brand new when there's awesome stuff to be had on the used market

    Haha! I'll fight you to the death for it man :)

    [quote name='TheFear' post='1223922' date='May 8 2011, 09:39 AM']Why is this not selling??????? I must reiterate this bass has been well looked after and near to mint condition as you would expect, its only 3 years old, is my price to high?[/quote]


    I don't think your price is too high.

    I'm very interested, but trying to raise the cash :) think it's just a sign of the times.

    SOLD - Warwick Fortress One

    in Basses For Sale

    1994 Warwick Fortress One for sale.

    This is a stunning bass with the very desirable all wenge neck. Made in Germany.

    Neck, truss rod, frets, electronics, hardware all good. Strap locks included.

    Easy on the shoulder as it weighs in at just under 9lbs, and has the best balance of any bass I've ever played.

    It's a little "roadworn" as you can see in the pictures. But for a 17 year old bass that's been much played and loved, I think it's looking awesome.

    [s]£500[/s] £400 including a gig bag.

    Would prefer collection but if interested, we can discuss postage/courier.

    Please note, the bass is strung BEAD at the moment but can be changed if required for the price of a G string (£6 in my local music shop)

    Keep or trade? (Warwick)

    You're right of course. But my problem is that I want a Fender P, and have a strict one in one out policy. I have another Warwick which is never going anywhere so... there's my problem :)

    Opinions please! (Caution, contains bass porn)

    this may amuse you :lol:

    You certainly do :) and it was your photo that made me want a maple fretboard! Plus Matt Freeman of course.

    I've already decided on maple (and have in fact got a neck trade lined up with another basschatter) but just thought it would be fun to see what everyone else likes!

    I don't know if you'll be interested in this but I've done it before with good results.

    Instead of a lot of work replacing the pick guard, buy some fablon in the colour that you want, put it on the table sticky side up and place the pick guard on it. Then use a very sharp craft knife to cut round the top of the pickguard. That's how I made this one

    GAS audit!

    I'm gassing big time for a 70's Fender P - olympic white, maple neck, maple board, black pickguard, PJ pickups

    Mmmmmmm..... if only they didn't cost so much!
