[quote name='finnbass' post='111507' date='Dec 31 2007, 02:35 PM']Do take sensible precautions, ie stick to reputable stores, check they have the item actually in stock and pay with a credit card that has payment protection. If you are not sure about a dealer, just ask on here. Shops like Thomann are rock-solid however IMO and there have been a number of threads which would support this. Good luck![/quote] Thanks again finnbass, the shop I had a go and specifically looked at was at "guitar works" in Reading, and Dawsons too but they kinda were more detailing to the rockbass. I'll ask if some places are shifty and warn.

[quote name='finnbass' post='111236' date='Dec 31 2007, 12:13 AM']Good idea! Be fair with them, take postage into account, and ask them to price-match. Thomann have it for £519 which includes postage so that would appear to be the price to aim for. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_corvette_std_5_nat.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_corvette_std_5_nat.htm[/url] I've bought literally dozens of basses online and have never experienced any problems. In fact, you are more likely to get a 'factory fresh' bass than some old nail that's been hanging around in the showroom for ages gathering dust and being thrashed by complete d1ckheads. [/quote] Cool! thanks for the heads up! haha...yeah, I don't admire the kids who cant play, trying out the ultimate instruments.. This ones kept in the back, in a warwick hard/soft case, so its not left on show/demo, gathering dust thank god. I'll shop around locally......and online thanks to finnbass! cheers mate. My friend has some EMG bass pickups unused, so if I dont admire the MEC's...I have alts

[quote name='finnbass' post='111200' date='Dec 30 2007, 10:16 PM']It's a stock shot. Can you afford to waste £130? If you can..go ahead.[/quote] Ah ok, I'll have to show this to the shop and try and see if they can lower their price I mean I get all the gubbins and care kit but if they cud go down abit to compensate this online price...I'll be HAPPY!!

[quote name='finnbass' post='111155' date='Dec 30 2007, 09:20 PM']Woah!

I'll accept them in the end I think...maybe Im blaming the settings on the amp in the shop haha! Bassbods EMG circuit interested me and may have to try it sometime in my warwick onwer ship...I've been longing for one! but am thinking of the corvette design too now, as Ive been fully told now about the streamer lx and the stage I and II I may settle with the corvette I had a go on, its a 5 string, ash body £629 Ill get it!

Thanks for all the info and suggestions guys, they have been helpful. My intentions are to get warwick (thumb or streamer as they are best shaped for my preference) work with the MEC's and fiddle about, if they don't match my sound intentions....I'll change them. EMG or seymour duncan are on my mind Just out of interest. I had my mind on a warwick streamer lx (second hand) are they good as the streamer stage 1?
-
Hahaha...Awesome, Totally
-
Are they any good? I keep reading and hearing that people change them, which makes me ponder whether the bass is good, I had a quick go on a 5 string warwick corvette £629 but I felt it sounded dry...is there any warwick you could preference for me with quality sound for jazz? but I dont wanna buy brand new, whats the best second hand that doesnt have a crap re-sale value?

£70.........B-B-B-B-B-Bump!

Bump..is anyone interested?
