    Off days?? The idea of a top end builder knowingly shipping a bass in that condition after charging $5000 is absolutely crass

    Thanks guys, i've dropped him an email, fingers crossed something will be sorted out. I really dont want to have to pay for a whole new circuit if it can in any way be avoided :S

    Hey guys, Hopefully someone can shed some light. Part of the main circuit board on the U-retro preamp i use has come away, looks like the solder has failed. Ive taped it back in place for the moment, so i can still use my bass till i get back to the UK this weekend but obviously it needs fixing properly. Does anyone know if east offer any kind of warranty (the circuit was installed 13 months ago) or will i have to pay for a whole new circuit? Cheers Ben

    Good gawd Eude, thats one helluva collection you've now got!! Have to say that 6er of yours is my personal favourite but this one is an absolute beauty! Can you post some soundclips of them all soon??

    I'm between cruise contracts at the moment, and while there isnt a no drinking policy with the company i work for, there are strict limits on how much you can drink. Certainly this is so you can play to the required standard, but as a member of the ships company, if there is any form of emergency on board, at any time of night or day, you have to be able to respond and help the guests, which you can't do if you're passed out from drink in your cabin.

    Had a wrong set of patch cables sent as part of a multiple order, was sorted out and got the correct set in the post the next day, big props to Paul for superb customer service. Not going to go anywhere else for my strings and cables

    Bought Matt's TC Nova Repeater. Smooth transaction, great communication, prompt postage. Pleasure doing business with him

    Another black mark against Rickenbacker and their moronic CEO

    Not a problem, i'll take a whole set of detailed photos tomorrow as soon as i get in from rehearsal. there are a couple of scratches on the body and one or two on the fingerboard but thats more or less it. Some of the finish on the ramp has worn away (paint plus roundwound strings....) but this would be a really simple case of respraying. Its all cosmetic, it doesnt affect sound/playability in any way

    End of weekend bump, anyone potentially interested?
  19. funkypenguin
    I have a rosewood ramp fitted to my streamer LX6, I had Jon Shuker make the ramp for me and its fixed to the body with double sided tape. If you want a fixed ramp, the main thing to know is how close do you want the surface of the ramp to the strings

    Good call, i'll get some photos up tonight!
  21. funkypenguin
    Cheers, it sounds great and plays very well. The spacing is ideal if you're looking to have a crack at playing a 6er after playing on 4 strings. BUMP!!
  22. funkypenguin
    Bump!

    I'm playing my warwick pretty much exclusively now, with my P bass filling the other gigs, and i've gotten so used to the tight string spacing on my warwick that this bass isnt getting any playing time, so i'm putting her up for sale. The pickups, preamp and ramp are all aftermarket and cost around £300 to install (all work done by Jon Shuker). Full specs for the bass are as follows... Swamp Ash body - Wenge Accent - Swamp Ash Top (bookmatched) 5 piece Maple/ebony neck Rosewood Fingerboard 34" Scale Length 24 frets Gold Hardware 19mm String Spacing Individual ABM Bridge Units EMG DC45 active pickups EMG BQC 3 band parametric preamp Adjustable Ramp Comes with hard case The bass cost me £600 new, plus £300 worth of upgrades. They don't make this model anymore as i recall. There is some cosmetic damage so Im looking for £500 for the bass. Setup with medium low action and Warwick Black Label Strings. Will ship in Gator hard case at buyers expense, more photos available on request [attachment=135620:post-1539-1248973143.jpg] [attachment=135621:post-1539-1248973181.jpg]

    My dad got me tickets as a surprise for me coming back from my cruise contract in the Caribbean. Can't wait, saw them on the snakes tour and they were brilliant!
