  1. [quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1343953763' post='1757932'] Blimey, cracking bass and I can't see this being around for long. Good luck with the sale. [/quote] Thanks a really cracking instrument and I hope it takes someone's fancy.
  2. For sale and for trade is my beloved Warwick Thumb BO 4. Due to family finances I am selling quite a large portion of my gear. This a 2006 model (made before the recent Warwick line overhaul) made from Ovangkol both body and Neck. Wenge fingerboard gives it that distinctive sound and is a comfortable playing surface. This bass is totally versatile and has covered pretty much 80% of all my playing up to now. With a mute, this can tackle Motown and Soul and has taken several people by surprise by how "un-warwick" it can sound. Not saying that it can't do what this was made to do: it's a slap machine and an active beast. It's a great surface to tap on and the action is sublime for chordal and harmonic work. Sounds really great when played with a pick, and that's exactly what I used it for last week. The downsides: I wont lie that this bass is in perfect condition. Having this bass as my main for several UK and European tours has taken its toll. There is some thumb rash above the neck pick-up (pictured). The volume pot turns indefinitely and the knob is missing. This was due to a (lazy) crew member packing up equipment after a show. One night it was all there and the next evening when I took it out for sound check it wasn't. I have no idea how it came about other than neglect or rough treatment on his part (not hat I'm bitter at all...) This bass was £1200 new so I'd really like [b]£600[/b] for a straight sale. However I'd prefer an exchange trade as this is my last four string. I'd quite like a MIM Jazz (or similar build , such as parts basses) plus[b] £300[/b], which I don't think is too unreasonable. I will listen to all offers, however I do have to take into consideration the money side of things... Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks EDIT!: I am based in Norwich, Norfolk but also travel to London quite a fair bit for work. I can arrange collection at either of these places, but if you would like to arrange your own courier that's fine. Postage wise, I do have a hardcase to throw in but we'll have to negotiate price.
  3. [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1339949206' post='1696631'] Me too! Swedish band Komeda ring a bell? I lurv them to death. [/quote] No, I'll check them out for sure! And hey, gotta sign off somehow right? Although these kisses has made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Shucks you guys
  4. Hey everyone. So I've been a member for a while now, but never got round to saying hello or giving myself any kind of introduction! My name is Marcus, and I'm a freelance session bass player/song writer originally from Norwich, but now located in London. I absolutely adore motown, soul, listening to exciting and intricate chord progressions buried in pop music, and above all else, live music. I've found this site to be very welcoming and have some great people on here. Very helpful, friendly, just the place to be to chat about all things bass! Currently I play a Warwick Thumb 4 and a Streamer Jazzman 5. I used to have a 62 re-issue precision and a stock american jazz, but after using them for certain projects that are now finished, I have sold them on! Do I regret it? A little, but I am a Warwick man through and through at heart. I spend a lot of time on these forums, but rarely do I post. Looks like that's about to change! x
  5. [quote name='geofio' timestamp='1338076511' post='1669457'] i can vouch for the playability and tone of this bass i owned it before torvic, it was an incredible bass to play, and a fantastic range of tones and not bad looking either. [/quote] Awesome bass, really served me well. Hope you don't mind me using the pictures. But it's time for something else now more specifically a jazz of some kind would be ideal.
