Ok..the black Warwick tolex case has been ordered this morning from SoundsLive.co.uk. No idea when delivery will be but I'd hope to have it by the end of next week. I'll post some pics and give a small review once I've used it a few times. Fingers crossed it's a gooden

[quote name='budget bassist' post='184808' date='Apr 24 2008, 08:21 PM']Exactly what i thought, i'd love one just for the vintage look, give it a good drag around on the pavement first (and at £40 i can almost afford to do so... ALMOST haha)[/quote] thinking about it i might just take a gamble on it, how wrong can i go with a £40 warwick hard case? ...famous last words

+ 1 on joining to sell, don't know how I actually found it though. Great community of likeminded people encouraged me to get a bit more involved than using it as a fee free fleabay.

what a find, surely even the gig bag is worth more than £4!

Jamiroquai - Try and learn every song on Emergency On Planet Earth. Zender was 19 when he recorded that album, that just blows my mind for what he comes out with. Such musicality at such a young age, what a player. The reeeaaaallly tricky one is Music Of The Wind - get on it Edit - actually I just learnt it in about 45mins...cant be that tricky but what a choooon

[quote name='Wooks' post='184335' date='Apr 24 2008, 10:06 AM']I spoke to Peavey's service manager who was supposed to sorted me out with a "new" one and it wasn't what I expected or wanted in terms as a replacemnet for my damaged one, hence the reason why I got my refund. So it's a bit too late to complain to somebody any higher, don't you think?? Or is it???? [/quote] Milk it for all it's worth mate. Peavey are a massive guitar company who wouldn’t want rumours about disgraceful customer service and support to be filtered out through forums like this so get in contact with someone higher than a customer service manager if it's possible and ask for an explanation to why they have wasted so much of your time and why they think it’s alright to replace your bass, which they broke, with something that isn’t an acceptable representation of the original and could be considered as 2nd hand. That's what I'd probably do, probably being the key word though because I'm a lazy arse at the best of times

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='184389' date='Apr 24 2008, 11:13 AM']Here's a tip for you if you want to have owned that many... don't have kids and get a day job Bear in mind that I got my first one 20 years ago. Funnily enough my quest for the sound I want is bringing me back to what I had 20 years ago... a Stage I though a solid state amp and 10" speakers. Funny old game bass playing [/quote] that sounds like a reasonable trade off; no kids = more bass

Cheers for all the replies guys. Yeah string change every 2 weeks - I like them fresh . Band practise is around 3 hours once a week then if I've got 2 gigs that week + any playing at home then they get a bit dull. Have to admit that I usually just boil them up then actually put a new set on every couple of months. Very helpful comments in regards to the wax situation. So I don't have to worry that I'm being grossly negligent then?...well that's good to know. Warwickhunt...50 Warwicks?!?!?!?! wow...and 1 tin of wax. Sounds like the sort of maintenance that I could get used to and obviously not worry about the wood deteriorating. Hopefully I will be able to build up a collection like that in the future. I’ll probably end up waxing it once a month then – less time and effort (I’m a lazy student). Cheers again for the info.

Just wondering how bad it is not to wax my natural finished Warwick as amongst other things, I simply can't be arsed to do it the recommended once a week. If I'm honest I'll probably do it at least every 3 weeks but more often than not it will get done every 2 weeks when I'm replacing the strings. Hypothetically...how bad is it to leave it for a month? like on a regular basis that is for instance a year or 2...will this actually lead to the wood drying out? what happens when the wood does dry out? how can i tell when the wood is drying out? etc etc... I'm sure warwickhunt knows a thing or two about this Cheers in advance
