  1. Played a late cancellation gig at a local pub. Had to do it with one less band member (keys/sax) as he had something pre-booked, but we pulled it off with bass, guitar drums and vocals. Went down well, the ladies dancing straight from the off, even a few blokes towards the end! Pub boss loved it and said we were first-call band if more cancellations happen and when he opens the diary in October, we'll get half dozen gigs in 2014. £55 each so can't be bad and I did the whole thing with a leg in plaster and on heavy duty painkillers (another story!) At least I didn't have to move any gear!
  2. 4 piece pop/rock covers with female lead vocals
  3. Had mine about a month or so and something has blown in it and gone back for repair! Not good.
  4. Weekend bump! I travel frequently so may be able to deliver in person.
  5. Forgot to add that it comes with the Warwick strap locks too... And other pics I forgot to upload.
  6. Hi Looking to sell this as I have recently bought I modified Lakland that I love and can only have one fretted and one fretless at any one time according to the wife! It was made in Germany in 2005 and is the passive model with MEC Dynamic Correction pickups and bell bass frets. I've been using it in both a Soul/RnB 8-piece and a pop/rock 5 piece and it covers the bases sound-wise for me. Currently strung with flat-wounds. Comes with original Warwick user manual, adjustment tool and finish polish, (still plenty left) Bass is in decent condition for its age. I've tried my best to photograph the marks on top of head stock, slight nick in back of the neck (which does not affect play-ability), and the inevitable indentations on the front thumb resting. Cash on collection please, I travel regularly so may be able to meet. I have a worn out and ripped ibanez gig bag that I will put it in for you to get it home. Any questions just ask. I have sold a bass on here before a couple of years ago (Fender CIJ '51 reissue precision in butterscotch) and my ebay feedback is 100% (haysy2010) if that helps. Here is the detail from the Warwick site: [font=Verdana,][b]Serial number:[/b] j-117336-05[/font] [font=Verdana,][b]Article number:[/b] 1244730000CPASHOWW [/font] [font=Verdana,][b]produced:[/b] 2005-09-05[/font] [font=Verdana,][b]Description:[/b] Corvette Standard, 4-string Natural Oil finish Swamp Ash body Ovangkol neck Chrome hardware[/font]

  8. [quote name='danonthebass' post='1268799' date='Jun 14 2011, 03:57 PM']I'm just gonna go for ups service, then. I can transfer you the 460 pounds with paypal by tomorrow in the late morning (around 12am). If you can ship the package by tomorrow in the afternoon (as previously said before 16pm), then everything's settled.[/quote] That's great Dan, I will provide my paypal details by email when I get home from work. Still need a shipping address....
  9. [quote name='danonthebass' post='1268231' date='Jun 14 2011, 09:02 AM']I guess this only works for someone who has a merchant account registered on paypal...my account is only personal so i don't have all these options. It's really messy how they explain options on paypal. I've read somewhere that if I send you money for buying goods from you outside a bargain, there's the possibility to ship the object inside paypal, which uses other services like ups to do so. [url="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/ship/center-outside"]https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p.../center-outside[/url][/quote] Dan I've just gone on the parcel2go website. On the first page there is a quick quote facility. You enter the country of collection and destination, package weight and dimensions in cm. They then give you several choices depending on how fast you want delivery and then you can specify insurance. Try it, it's easy and I do not have any type of account. Or we could just use the UPS option we discussed earlier... Let me know what you want to do. Otherwise it's heading for Ebay... Regards C
  10. [quote name='danonthebass' post='1267844' date='Jun 13 2011, 08:36 PM']Listen, I actually discovered that there is a shipping service directly on paypal that covers ups international shipping. It says also you can print from there the shipping labels to put on the package and stuff, but i really don't understand where to start to. Do you know anything about it?! Dan[/quote] Dan I found this solution on the Paypal site - it's called parcel2go and offers a range of couriers - see what's best for you in Italy: [url="https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/general/ValueAddedSolutions-outside"]https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cm...lutions-outside[/url] Regards C
  11. [quote name='danonthebass' post='1267690' date='Jun 13 2011, 06:43 PM']I understand your reasonings, I must say you're a perfectionist seller! I have my address and card registered on paypal, i've also got an account on ebay with 100% positive feedback ( "nguccio" ). I'm gonna check on paypal about this option, but i guess the fact that you mentioned this thing supports you as a serious seller. About the shipping: I checked ups for times and costs. It gives me the opportunity to book a shipping from here, thus you should bring either the package to the nearest ups point in time of last recollection in the day which is at 16:00 pm, or tell me your address so they can recollect the package at your house. If you don't want to write it here i can give you my email address and send me all your credentials there: [email protected] So you should tell me which day of the week you're free to complete the shipping. Meanwhile I'm gonna check about the hold on payment possibility with paypal, and tell you about it asap. Dan[/quote] Hi Dan My nearest UPS drop-off and shipping point is only 10km away! Here is the address to pick up from: UPS Customer Centre NON REVENUE - DEESIDE UNIT 111, TENTH AVENUE, ZONE 3 DEESIDE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE DEESIDE, CH5 2UA UNITED KINGDOM TEL: 00448457877877 I can take it there on Wednesday morning this week. Let me know your address so that I can make up a label. My email is: [email protected] Let me know about the paypal thing when you find out the information. Regards Chris
  12. [quote name='danonthebass' post='1267240' date='Jun 13 2011, 01:14 PM']not to be too boring but...have you got any particular problem in splitting the two pieces (neck and body)? Don't know how to do it or something else? I'm just telling you because the shipment with the two separate pieces has less risk of damaging the whole instrument. A very long object is more due to flectional damage than a compact object. Moreover, as long as this looks to be a private agreement, which is not subdue to any bargain regulation, do you think you can give me any kind of warranty for the money i'm gonna send you? forgive me for being too careful but, you and i both know how the world goes. sincerely, Dan[/quote] Dan No problem as far as being too careful with money, I was going to ask you the same question! I thought if we both have registered addresses with paypal, then we both have redress if things go wrong. My ebay handle is "haysy2010" and I've got feedback on there (100% 85 score), so at least you know that. Anyway can't we ask paypal to hold the money until you receive the bass and then they release? I thought you could do stuff like that. Not happy about taking the bass apart, I get your logic but once you start unscrewing etc, finishes get damaged and so on. A good courier like UPS shoul;d be safe enough, I imported a Gibson guitar from Florida in 08 and that was flawless. Let me know what you think Chris
  13. [quote name='danonthebass' post='1267047' date='Jun 13 2011, 10:26 AM']now that i think about it, i would need the dimension of the package you're going to use and the average weight of the instrument so to calculate the shipping cost could pack as reference image i'm uploading (just a suggestion), so i would need dimension 'a' and 'b' and weight thanks for your help, Dan[/quote] Sorry Dan I mean I would ship it whole as a complete bass, not broken down into components. So box dimension would be 1320 x 500mm. Weight approx 7.5kg My UK post code is CH62 2BW. Paypal transfer is fine, I will let it go once payment clears.
  14. [quote name='danonthebass' post='1266373' date='Jun 12 2011, 05:55 PM']Hello, I'm very interested in buying the instrument. Could pay you directly the amount of money you're asking. The only problem is I live in Italy: do you offer or consider the idea of international shipping? Maybe you could split the two pieces (neck and body) so to ship it easily and for a cheaper price (nice for me too) Thanks for the attention, Dan[/quote] Hi What payment method are you offering? If you want to organise a courier to pick it up and you pay for the insurance, I will pack it securely for you in a guitar cardboard box with plenty of bubblewrap. Regards Chris
  15. [quote name='spaz91' post='1266382' date='Jun 12 2011, 06:00 PM']Someone ought to snap this up, discontinuing this things was the stupidest mistake Fender ever made. Sounds amazing with some TI Flats.[/quote] Thanks for the positive bump mate!
  16. [quote name='nottswarwick' post='1265799' date='Jun 12 2011, 10:10 AM']nice hows this sound compared with a p with the split pickups?[/quote] Don't really know how it compares, as I've never owned a Precision with a split coil. But think of early Rock and Roll 50's recordings as a guide to the sound. Lots of low end thump, top end is not really defined, at least with heavy flatwounds as I have it!
  17. Ok Had some interest to my feeler question, so it's up for sale at £460. No trades please. Butterscotch, slab body, CIJ in 2005-06, great condition. Comes with a rain cover type gigbag. Would prefer collection or could meet as I travel a lot for work around the Midlands, North and Scotland, so get in touch. I'm based in the North West. I've used it in a Blues/R&B outfit but now need something more versatile so bought a Warwick for that. Currently strung with Fender Stainless Steel Flatwounds 55-105 for a nice low end thump and a low action. Some small (2mm long) indentations on back of neck which I have tried to photograph but don't show up well but hardly noticeable.
  18. [quote name='Stacker' post='1264951' date='Jun 11 2011, 02:31 PM']I'm looking for one of these but still need to shift my Nash JB63 jazz bass relic. Dont suppose u fanc trading up?[/quote] Hi Thanks for the offer but I need to sell for cash, nice piece you've got there!

  20. [quote name='Lozz196' post='1264769' date='Jun 11 2011, 11:35 AM']I think your pricing is spot on. Great basses, am sure it won`t linger in the for sale section too long. Welcome to the forum, btw.[/quote] Thanks for your reply, hopefully it will shift quick, really glad I found Basschat, such a wealth of info/resources!
  21. Hi I'm new to the forum and would like to ask your advice please. I am looking to sell a Fender CIJ 51 Reissue Precision in butterscotch (2005-2006 manufacture using the guitar dating thread on the forum). See pics below. I've added a thumbrest, but everything esle is original. I am selling it because I used to use it in a Blues/R&B outfit, which it was great for, nice thump to it. However a new band needs something more versatile, so I bought a Warwick. I would rather not go down the ebay route if someone on here wants one, but I'm not sure what to ask for. I've seen them on here going from £420 to £500 plus, so if I pitched it in the middle, say £460, would that be about right? It's pretty clean, tried to photograph some small indentations on the back of the neck but they didn't show up that well. It comes with a thin gigbag, more of a rain cover really... Thanks for your help.
  22. [quote name='david101' post='1239675' date='May 21 2011, 08:29 PM']This little pretty is still up for sale. Just saying...[/quote] Hi David New to this board yesterday.is the FNA still yours? I could trade a Fender CIJ Precision 51 Reissue for it.... Chris
