  1. [quote name='Bassassin' post='999884' date='Oct 25 2010, 12:04 PM']Noel's referring to the fingerboard/fretboard (being a committed member of the Junior Pedants League, I only use the term "fretboard" to refer specifically to a fretted instrument :) ), touchboard isn't a very commonly used term but is correct in this context. It's more commonly used in reference to instruments like the Chapman Stick or Warr, where it's descriptive of the intended playing techniques.

    Aaah! I see now! Wasn't having a go Noel, I was just unaware of what you were refering to :lol:

    But yeah it looks a bit light to me, like it's been sanded down?

    Hmm, in my (limited) experience, the DBs seem to have more of a mid-hump than the GSs... How strange! Love my GS410 though- brilliant piece of kit although I'm adding a 1x15 to get a bit more arse end out of it

  3. I think it comes down to how much versatility you want. If you're willing to fiddle with the controls and you have no issue with the looks (I don't either btw :) ) then I'd say the bongo, if you just want a bass you set once and don't touch the controls again then I'd say the precision. Just my opinion of course :lol:

  4. [quote name='patch006' post='988296' date='Oct 14 2010, 07:04 PM']Hi all,

    Would anybody be interested in a 2006 warwick thumb fretted bass bolt on ( LEFTHANDED) ? Not totally sure of letting it go yet, its a bit of a feeler possible house purchase may force sale.


    Regards

    4 or 5 strings?

  5. [quote name='steve-soar' post='983334' date='Oct 10 2010, 01:47 PM']Don't do it. Pre EB basses are wonderful and super rare in lefty flavour.[/quote]

    I agree completely but I feel like a precision might get more play-time and suit my band more... I want to see what's out there!

  6. [quote name='josh3184' post='968516' date='Sep 26 2010, 04:24 PM']Stingray no longer for sale as my finances have imprived somewhat :)[/quote]

    I've been thinking and I might be interested in trading it for a 70s Fender Precision if anyone fancies it.

  7. [quote name='peted' post='982389' date='Oct 9 2010, 11:04 AM']I GAS'd for a Warwick Thumb for many years before I actually bought my Thumb bolt-on and it was everything I'd wished for. Will take it to my grave.[/quote]

    This, essentially :) It's odd, no other bass has lived up to my expectations as much as the thumb. It balances poorly and it makes my shoulders hurt after I play it for a long time but I honestly couldn't care less; it's fantastic!

  8. [quote name='kentishbass' post='965072' date='Sep 22 2010, 10:30 PM']All I can really do is amend the description accordingly (how I don't know??!)[/quote]

    Hi, you can amend your first post by going to it and clicking the "edit" button at the bottom. "Quick edit" if you want to just change what's said in it and "full edit" if you want to change the title of the thread or use the full editor. Might be a good idea to amend it with the new price too :) Good luck with the sale!
