The legendary blue sparkle precision from the live after death video. I think of all the signature models made, I think this is actually the closest to Steve's bass. I got this from Bass direct last year. This is a japanese made P-bass, with seymour duncan pickups and a badass bridge. The machine heads have been upgraded to hipshots. Great condition. I love this bass dearly, and already bought it back after selling it before! But needs must, and I never get a chance to use it live. Flat wounds aren't really useable for most if the stuff i do! In Dundee.

Up for sale is my Clover Avenger 6 string. A truly remarkable bass, but I don't use it nearly enough. Bought from Bass Direct last year. Not used a great deal, and is in excellent condition. Comes with a gig bag, but if posted I would send it a beat up but sturdy hard case. Based near Dundee. I Trades: A high end 5 string might be considered.

Best company for delivery/shipping - Any advice

Thanks guys, UPS it seems! -
Hi there, Just wondering who people would recommend for sending a bass around the country - cost is not too much of an issue, don't mind paying a bit more. I have JayDee Supernatural that needs a re-fret and am thinking of sending it down to JayDee in Birmingham rather than letting the local guy do it. Any suggestions? I know some companies insurance doesn't cover musical instruments. Cheers guys

Hi y'all, Acquired a German made Warwick Streamer STD 5 2PU (the ones that came out before the Rockbass line) - Great playing bass but the pickups sound like crap. Anyone suggest anything that would drop in with the minimal of fuss - I know Bartolini do a replacement but can only find it in 4 string versions. Cheers!

Howdy, I've recently acquired a very nice early 2000s Warwick Corvette at a stupidly cheap price (it's terrible how much these basses depreciate). Great bass, but I'm not overly keen on the pickups or the pre-amp - the treble control seems to be more like upper midrange territory to my ears, 1-2Khz and its just a bit too harsh for me. Any ideas on what pickups would just drop in with the minimum of fuss - I might just leave it as a passive bass. Any suggestions to what would be a good pre-amp? I know it's down to personal preference, but just wondering if any one has tried anything that they think is good. Cheers!

Why is this still here??? This is an amazing price for an amazing bass - these are £2000 new. I paid £800 for a second hand 5 string one a couple of years ago. It's a great bass. Corvettes depreciate a ridiculous amount.

If you ever get the chance to play one of these basses - do! The strings it comes with are MASSIVE 50-110 flat wounds but they give an awesome tone. Bass is recorded with an Eden WDTI pre amp which is quite sweet: Few tracks with it I recorded today ( there's some actual maiden on my youtube channel, thought I'd play something different today) I have a few different playing styles, but I love making a precision clank from time to time [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sxSb1Q2PqI"]https://www.youtube....h?v=3sxSb1Q2PqI[/url] bark at the moon, ozzy [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpKt9OL0aVc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=BpKt9OL0aVc[/url] Immigrant song [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0X84d1gljE"]https://www.youtube....h?v=u0X84d1gljE[/url] Why can't this be love

I've been a massive Steve Harris fan since I was a kid - been trying to figure out how to get his sound for years, though the sound does change through the albums. Definitely more middle going on pre somewhere in time - I think he must have used his Ibanez Roadster on a few of the tracks on Piece of Mind, I'm sure I can hear a jazz pick up there. The bass pod xt has a hiwatt amp on it which I feel does a good job at emulating Steve's sound; Here a few samples, using my precision (with round wounds) Think the treble and high mid were turned to about 2-3 o'clock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9SSR3a6PwA (The Duellists) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWL1EfHqq64 (Caught Somewhere in Time) Using my Steve Harris precision strung with 50-110 rotosound flats and an SWR SM900 amp with quite a bit of boost at 900-1Khz area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMgd4steuzo (Revelations) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E4pTHncymo (Infinite Dreams)

Thought I'd give one of these a bash, but just not the bass for me (the front pick up interferes with popping) and I really need to trim down the collection. £490 - Including delivery to UK. In pretty good condition - a few minor chips here and there, works fine, bit of crackling on the volume pots but everything works as it should. Sounds immense, serious phat passive tones available and a huge variety too thanks to the funky circuitry. Comes in original case which is in not bad nick either. Also comes with the truss rod wrench ( a 5/16 wrench). Had it set up professionally a few weeks ago, so it got fresh strings and is playing nice. I think this bass would sing with a competent pick player (I don't really use a pick much). Trades: Yamaha bb 1024/1025, Fender Jazz (not MIM unless has been upgraded), Based in Newport on Tay , Fife.

PMd you -
Moved on to 6 string, so this is gathering dust. German Made, 2008 [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Swamp Ash body Ovangkol neck[/font][/color] [color=#141823]Natural Oil Finish[/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Plays and sounds amazing, Massive variety of tones available due to being able to turn those humbuckers in to single coils or route them in series and parallel. I've been gigging with it about a year and always get complements on the sound I get from this beast. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]It is somewhat roadworn, it is a gigging bass; I bought it second hand from Kenny's Music in Dunfermline. It was previously owned by a guy in a metal band, he traded 2 of his Warwicks in for a 90s Thumb. From some stage shenanigans, there was some fake blood on the body so the Tech at Kennys stripped the finish back. There are quite a few marks on the body and a small chip on the neck (see pictures) - I don't notice this when I'm playing and I'm all over the neck normally. One of the machine heads is not stock, but seems to be identical to the other ones. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]The input jack can be a little loose depending on what type of lead you use - my planet waves sits as snug as a bug, but other cheaper leads can be a bit loose. [/font][/color] Looking for £750. Trades; -Possibly could be persuaded with a Music Man Stingray 5 -Good quality light weight cabs/head of around £700 quid value; I would be particularly interested in a Markbass combo I live in Fife; not really keen on posting, I've seen some horror stories the past wee while (what on earth do the delivery guys do! Are the actively trying to break stuff!). I could deliver to the north of england for petrol (probably around £60) or meet halfway and split the cost.
