  1. The neck is not too thick more like a Fender Jazz but thinner at the back.
  2. I have this same one in Red and yes they are great basses with loads of tone at you fingertips. very underrated
  3. Hi Mr Noisy, yes it is one of the original models and has been well looked after, it feels and plays as good as it looks.
  4. oops sorry , too many beers last night, courier will do
  5. Hmmm Maybe interested if the price is right, I live in N.Ireland so can you deliver it to me
  6. SOLD SOLD SOLD.... Hi Guys Thanks for dropping by to view my bass for sale. This is a GMR Bassforce that I purchased last year but I need to move it on to finance some gear, it is with great reluctance but I have 6 basses and running out of places to hide them from the missus. There are a few minor dings here and there but too tiny to photograph and the usual fine scratches on the back but nothing too severe, have to look closely to see them. The woods used in this bass are beautiful and you know the quality is there when its held in the hands. GMR have used MEC jazz pickups and all Warwick hardware, I think this model was about £1200 when purchased new. It was a hard choice between the other basses as to which one to let go but they have there own character. It will come with a hard case for transport to ensure safe delivery, this will be about £25-30 depending where you live in the UK. The bass is based in N.Ireland The photos are taken in different light but the one closest is the upright one beside the Sandberg If you need any more pics let me know [attachment=180794:DSC_9954.JPG][attachment=180795:DSC_9940.JPG][attachment=180796:DSC_9755.JPG][attachment=180797:DSC_9941.JPG][attachment=180798:DSC_9944.JPG][attachment=180799:DSC_9950.JPG] [attachment=180970:IMAG1053.jpg] I have added a photo of the side profile of the neck, my thumb is exactly 24mm wide for reference
  7. I bought The mcgregor Bassmate off Brian and a great guy to deal with, well packaged and great comms 10/10 all the way. The combo is in perfect working order and condition, I could not be happier. A wise and knowledgable great guy 12/10, extra 2 points for his great effort in getting the combo to me in good time and shape. Cheers Brian
  8. Hi HowieBass Got myself some nickels today and the difference is much better thou they are a big bright now they will dull down after a few weeks which suits me fine. many thanks for your help guys, great forum.....
  9. Never tried tapewound yet but I will give it a go, thanks zero...
  10. Hi Guys I need some help here, I recently purchased this lovely Bass made By GMR but thou I am happy with the body and neck the pickups are not doing to for me. I have also a Warwick Streamer LX but this has the 3 pickup configuration which gives it more warmth. This is fitted with Warwick hardware and MEC pickups[attachment=178667:DSC_9754.JPG][attachment=178668:DSC_9759.JPG][attachment=178669:DSC_9755.JPG] The bass sounds a wee bit too trebly and I would like more bass oomph. Have a look at the bass and tell me what suggestions you might have. By the way this has a push pull knob for active but it does not have real active circuitry so it misses that big punch. Passive does not bother me anyway so this may give more scope. Many thanks for your replies in advance. Brian
  11. What a great idea, taking a photo of this beauty on the ground as if it has just grown from a tree, shaped, treated with care and there for the taking why oh why do you tempt me so near christmas, can't get the wife to buy this as a prezzie LOL, good luck in the sale as its a beaut. I have a sandberg and they are very well made.
  12. Bump, Damn if only I had the dosh to buy this as its my fav colour.......too near christmas
  13. Hi Davy No worries as I thought the weight and packaging might be a problem, anyway I managed to grab a combo today on this site. Cheers
  14. Hi There Would you be willing to post to N.Ireland Cheers
  15. HI There I live in N.Ireland, would it be possible to have it delivered by courier if I was interested in buying it. Regards Brian
  16. Hi Again I am not very familiar with mcgregor amps but can you give me some info on this combo. 600 watts through a 12 inch speaker sound impressive, what are the dimension of the cabinet and is the sound nice and rich, warm and bassy. Sorry for the questions but I can't seem to get any reviews about this model so I am relying on your good self. I currently have a Ampeg BA115 combo Regards brian
  17. Bought Johns Warwick Streamer LX, exactly as described and good communications all the way. Top guy and he really packaged the bass well. well pleased with my purchase, good luck ya low hangers
  18. Just bought a Warwick streamer LX from John, smooth transaction and he took good care of the packaging, this bass was lovingly looked after. A proper bloke to deal with, good to get people like this on BC, cuts out flea bay and their profits.
  19. I won't haggle over the price but I was sure if the bass was in a hard case then its covered by PF but they don't usually take it if its not in a case. I once has a musician bass delivered to me in a padded guitar bag with no tape or nothing just a postal sticker on it and it arrived in good nick but he was lucky LOL So let me check tomorrow and I will get back to you.
