    Nice thread TheG, I was looking for a DB for ages Sadly, there's almost no choice of where to buy one in the Cardiff/ South Wales area I got lucky, because a very nice. local BC'er sold me hers and I was very lucky that it turned out to be a nice bass But when I was looking, I found the only sellers were a long way from me, and even a long way from one another all of which made comparing basses a very long process, and usually a long time between trying them out I'm sure someone in the midlands area will find this useful so thanks for taking the time out to compile this list Marc PS. Typically, within weeks of me buying my DB, 2 came up S/H in instrument shops in the same street in Cardiff!

    I can't believe this bass is still here I think you're right about the amount of basses for sale though I also use a facebook page for selling / trading unwanted gear and there's loads & loads of stuff on there EDIT: I meant to say - perhaps we are now seeing the downside of the mass-produced, playable quality musical instrument? i.e. - a glut of S/H gear out there? Again, I've played quite a few Fenders over the years and I wouldn't swap my roadworn Jazz for anything These are fab basses - they get talked up a lot but in my opinion - they really are the business GLWTS clashcityrocker Cheers again Marc PS. Sadly, I [i]am [/i]old enough to have seen the Clash... but to my own regret - I never did

    [attachment=161759:G53_4591.jpg] Me playing my DB, at our wedding just 2 days after Christmas 2013 Yes, my wife wanted me to play at our wedding - it saved our guests from having to watch me dance And no, I don't usually wear a suit when I'm playing music

    Bought one of these off a BC'er a few months back ......and I love it! They're fab basses, they look, feel and sound the biz I played 2 USA Jazzes recently, and they didn't come anywhere near as nice as my roadworn A lot of people talked these up when I was thinking about buying one .... and they were right If you're considering one of these - give this a whirl It's a fair price for one of these beauties too Have a free bump clashcityrocker Great name BTW Marc

    That OLP bass looks great I've heard people say OLP's are brilliant Much better than the SUB series If they really are as good as people say .....I want one

    Hi, Interested in trading for a German Warwick FNA Jazzman?
  9. Marc S
    Hi, I'm interested in this bass Whereabouts are you? - I'd like to give it a whirl....
  10. Marc S
    I've got one of these, and I keep saying it but they are really under-rated The SR500 is a fab bass Good luck selling it Someone is going to get a brilliant bass, worth twice the asking price IMHO

    [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1398187829' post='2431409'] Isn't the Warwick an FNA jazzman? I'm sure the LX is the PJ config [/quote] No, it's definitely not I've got an FNA Jazzman, and it's a Corvette

    C'mon folks £50 is a giveaway - it's pretty much mint condition Bump.....
  13. Marc S
    Underwhelming indeed And priced at 65 quid Much better suggestion BigRedX

    Me too Let us know if it does go, or if available again Marc
  15. Marc S
    Yes - just to be absolutely sure, before you start taking the EUB apart .... you never know Anyhow - let us know what you find and good luck with it Marc

    Firstly, I'd test some other instrument through that amp and check your leads too... Not quite sure how you've plugged the tuners in Don't think I've heard anyone else using 2 tuners before Of course, there might also be a problem there, or possibly some sort of "conflict" in the tuners Check your EUB through another amp too, and double check your leads Good luck with sorting it, and let us know how you get on Marc EDIT: There may be some other friendly BC'er near your area, who'll let you try your bass in their amp? or their bass through your amp? - worth a thought....

    Hi Miguel, It wasn't the wrong decision - it was the right one Welcome to BC, and welcome to the world of bass playing As they say, "Like every other good musician - you're following a bass player!" Cheers Marc

    6 strings? oooo no, I have enough trouble with 4 lol Yes, as long as there's life in the old dog... And if there's beer that needs drinking and basses to play.....

    [quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1397126834' post='2420885'] Why not just get another bass? [/quote]
  20. Marc S
    [b]Bump, and a price drop to £50[/b] I could do with the space, so Come on someone - this is a great case for that money and it's pretty much in mint condition

    Welcome Al, I'm a middle aged BC'er too I started in the 80's and gave up playing after about 4 years 20 odd years later, I started playing again, and haven't looked back I've got a 20+ year old son, who also plays bass and he's pretty damn good, but I wish he'd join a band These days, I play Double Bass too .... and I really love that Keep playing matey and I'm sure you'll meet lots of good folk on here Marc
  22. Marc S
    I have a 4 string version, also with the Ovangkol neck Same colour blue as this one too .... it's a really nice bass too If I was after a 5 string, I'd be lusting after this bass.... ... but sadly, I've got GAS for other stuff at the moment Good luck with the sale
  23. Marc S
    Wish this bass was a bit nearer me (in South Wales) So I could give it a whirl.... On second thoughts, I'm sure I'd buy it if I tried it Can't believe someone hasn't snapped it up Have a free bump
  24. Marc S
    Great stuff
