  1. 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 :)

  2. 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

  3. OK, for sale is my Trace 1048H 4x10 Cab

    Its a great sounding piece of gear and has been completely reliable for the last 3 years but since my band has decided to call it a day, the gigs i'm doing now don't require a cab as big or loud as this. Full specs from TE website below. Cab itself has been gigged regularly but is in very good condition, the cover however has seen some battle damage and is frayed at corners. Weight according to TE website is 36 kilograms. Photos available on request

    I'm happy to drive halfway to deliver this. I'm asking a firm £350[list]
    [*]800 Watts RMS, 8 Ohms.
    [*]Four 10" (254mm) specially designed Celestion® speakers.
    [*]High frequency horn with variable attenuation.
    [*]Two Neutrik® Speakon® and two 1/4" (6.35mm) jack connectors.
    [*]Cabinet tuned, with central unobstructed slots, to 40Hz.
    [*]Lightweight poplar plywood construction.
    [*]Original classy black 'pimple' covered.
    [*]Metal handles and protective corners.

  4. you might be better served picking a bass, sticking with it and practising a little more as opposed to spending your time chopping and changing your gear....what will a kingbass enable you to achieve that your current basses wont?

  5. Hey Bilbo, sure not a problem. PM me you email and i'll do my best to email it to you on friday once the ship im on is back in Miami (internet on the ship while at sea is sporadic at best and hardly ever works when i try to connect on my laptop). If i have to stay on the ship then, i'll get it to you ASAP. If anyone else has the same problem of PDF size PM me your email address and i'll email you the PDF ASAP

  6. Happy Christmas from the sunny caribbean!!! :)

    Here is my transcription of John Patitucci's "Heart of the Bass", title track of said same CD. Its one of the most beautiful solo bass pieces ive ever heard, and i've finally finished my transcription of it.

    The improvised solo towards the end of the piece isnt transcribed all exactly in time as per the recording. the phrases are all transcribed as reference points for when the looped figure is playing. Everything else is more or less correct (I think!!)

    Check out the recording of the piece on spotify, its one of the most gorgeous pieces in the bass repertoire.

    Ben
