    What about the trus rod? Should I worry about it? I think I have read some bad things about early Warwicks and broken rods...or maybe not. The purchase would be on-line so I cannot check it out myself.

    Thanks for the input guys. Would you then recommend the buy then? The price is around 400 pounds... Can I expect a better/equal/worse bass than, let´s say, a modern german made Corvette?

    Hi everybody! I have spotted a nice Fortress One bass from 1994. Does it have the slimmer neck of the early Warwicks or at that time they did sport the (as some people call them) "baseball bat" neck. Thanks for the info

    [quote name='PURPOLARIS' timestamp='1338466644' post='1674974'] Seems quite extreme to me. Would you be restringing it to a lefty or showing off by being ambidextrous [/quote] I would restring and change the nut. The mono rail bridge would work fine as it is.

    I have been tinking about buying an Ibanez bass for a while now. I have small hands and short fingers and their slim necks are very tempting. The problem is that there are only a few lefty models available and the best one right now is the SR605. They retail for about 520 pounds. I have found in a local store a SR1205 prestige model that I really like. It is made in Korea, comes with better hardware that the 605 and comes with "real" Bartolini pickups. Neck through body, maple/bubinga neck...I like it better than the SR605. They are selling it for 760 pounds. The "only" problem is that it is right handed. As I am not playing in any band now and I would only play it at home and in sitting position, I was thinking maybe it is not such a crazy idea to buy it. Anyways, my first couple of basses were right handed and I got over it. What do you think about this crazy idea of mine? Would yo buy or no way? Is the SR1205 so much better than the SR605 to justify the extra cost and the fact that it is right handed? Please chime in

    It´s a medium scale and lefty. I am a lefty and want a short/medium scale bass. If the controls don´t bother me while playing I am buying one for sure. Any idea about the price?

    Hi there, I want to sell my Maruszcyzk Elwood 4 string bass. I bought it a couple of months ago, brand new, and has never left home. No gigs, nothing. I bought it after selling my one and only 5 string and buying a couple of another 4 strings so now I feel like I want a 5 string again. I am asking 800€ with the upgraded EMG active pups or 650€ if you prefer the stock passive ones. The bass is in Spain and for shipping costs I would only charge (if shipped to the UK) the difference between shipping to the EU and to the UK. Thanks

    That´s absolutely false. I sent one last mail offering the 1.450 pounds you were asking for. Maybe you deleted it [b]accidentally[/b] or it did not get to you for whatever reason, but I sent it. Not my fault either. Yes, the shipping costs were a little expensive and that´s the only thing I wanted to discuss about. I am still behind my words and now here on the board for everyone to see I am still offering you the 1.300 pounds you want plus shipping to Madrid. I am open to start from zero...how about you?

    [quote name='JPWebb' post='1200339' date='Apr 15 2011, 11:00 AM']I've just found out what a tyre kicker is.. and this feller is one of those [/quote] I don´t exactly know what a "tyre kicker" is (English is not my native language), but is seems to me that nothing good at all. My only crime was to pm this nice guy and make him an offer which he considered the most repugnant, humiliating and despicable on earth. Ok, maybe it was a little low, but not so low that after 4 days and 5 e-mails of apologies and offers of buying for what he was asking for, [b]the only[/b] response was this: "This item is post to UK only. Please read the description before asking. Thanks. Bye Bye." That was the only response after 5 e-mails. And yes, at first he told me he would ship to Spain. How would you call that? Are you 12 years old or something? We have a saying in Spain that goes "arrieritos somos y en el camino nos encontraremos". It more or less means (talking about basses) that maybe in the near future I could have a bass that you may want, and then we will see each other faces again.... I honestly wish that this never happens to anyone else cause it hurts. Hasta luego amigos By the way, the bass is now on Ebay 150 pounds cheaper than the first time, even closer to my repugnant first offer.
