simon bass

Hi mate I have been trying to contact you since Sunday, I have a deposit ready and waiting for you for the lot as agreed I just can't seem to get hold of you via mobile. Please contact me so I know what's happening. Cheers mate

Left you a text mate.

Would be something I would have loved to do, I have the pedals very similar to what was originally used in genesis and masses of equipment that would suite the bill nicely, big fan of genesis I saw them in 2007 as I am only 20 this is the only chance I got and am grade 5 standard with lots of gigging experience, but with the distances to practice it would cost way too much in transport

Now sold

This bass was bought for me as a Christmas present 3 years ago. When it was bought it was just a body with the neck, fretboard and frets that was it. I then asked Stuart at Electro Music to make me a even better version of the already top of the range Tanglewood bass, So Stuart fitted me a Seymour Duncan Bass Line active pickup (American) and all British pots I forget which ones but there were not cheap about £45 just for the pots. Then I left Stuart to decide on the tuners and bridge, he put on a really chunky bridge (I’ve never seen one as big or dense on any other bass so far) and the tuners are amazing, extremely smooth and holds tune better than any other guitars I own (which includes a headless status). Then it was finished off with Marshall Knobs and a high quality nut.
Aa fresh Duracell was also put in only a month ago. This bass has been well looked after with regular oiling of the fretboard and body, polishing the neck and regular changing of strings.
There is a slight bit of damage to the bass but is only superficial this does not affect sound quality at all and can be blended back in easily with dark furniture wax or so I have heard.

And this bass is still for sale guys and plays well just needs some well deserved tlc

I saw this bass in person on the 7th of this month, he's a nice guy but he is just in the process of moving house so is pretty hard to get hold of and the house he has moved into is being renovated so best to try and get his number.

pm.....

I got Warwick straplocks on my Jazzman (I had to buy the end pins independently for them as they did not come with the bass and at first seemed hard to fit properly). I have schaller on my other warwick which I was used to and was a bit skeptical myself about the Warwick ones as I was just unaccustomed (I'm sure I saw that same video you did...and the ball bearing thing did not sit right with me) and was gonna change to schallers. But I've not had any problem and I don't feel insecure/worried using them anymore and I'm keeping them on the bass. The centre pin extended keeps the balls protruded so that it secures the strap end to the bass part. If I was still worried, trust me I would have changed them a long time ago. Anyways, bump for an awesome bass
[/quote] cheers for reply mate, I had a set of schallers on my jazz and they jest fell to bits so I didn't want to use them again so I will give the Warwick ones a try and see how I get on with them

does this bass have the warwick straplocks with it, I cant tell from the pictures Also has anybody ever had a problem with them as there is a guitarist on youtube complaining about them saying that his guitar is now damaged due to failure in the staplocks. could be that he didn't install them right but im not sure it sounds very unlike warwick for anything they make to go wrong.

I'm afraid I can't say I will definitely buy it without playing it but I am willing to wait a little while but I am also looking at a fna jazzman which is also on here.

I would love to give it a try as my mum and dad has said they would give me a little extra money towards a new bass as a gift for finishing college and going on to university. Maybe you could visit your parents one day and bring that bass along.

If anybody has a streamer stage 1 near me (rotherham south Yorkshire) I could play I may be able to get the money together for this bass if they play like I remember.

Pm again lol.

I was looking to do this, probably when I leave uni, but have no idea whatsoever being in a cruise ship band involves and do you have to sight read for all of them?

Pm

seems like a nice guy peeps. and the bass will be lovely as well being a old warwick so get your hands in your pockets, if i had the extra money this would have been mine.

i would love a bass like this but cannot afford one atm. i think you may want to get some pics up that would really help. and remind people that if there local they are welcome to play it (if you want them too).

If this was active it would have been in my bass collection by now. Come on all you passive players get your hands in your pockets I've never seen an example better than this for Mexican jazz money.

sounds like you have a very good set-up to me. plus its never about the gear you have its about the person behind it, i have seen some drummers have a top of the line kit, cymbals and hardware but was no better than a grade 4 drummer i would say, my drummer on the other hand has only just recently got a semi pro level gretsch kit equivalent to a pearl export and has just taken his grade 8 and his 5 theory and is going on to Leeds college of music at the age of 17 and is probably the best drummer i have ever played with. the point behind this story is give a beginner a 3000 pound bass and you have noise but give a seasoned pro a 300 pound Bass and as long as its in tune you will have music. and welcome back its nice to see more bassist.

I would love to do something like this but I am starting university soon studying music

Very nice example I have a 1000 myself in red and black truly are a dream to play I would have bought thus one as a backup if I wasn't skint. Good look with the sale

Is it sold if not pm me.
