    I realise they are not to everyone's taste, but .. [list] [*]They are superb sounding instruments [*]They are built beautifully [*]The finishes are perfect [*]The quality control is second to none [*]The woods are gorgeous and consistent [*]The fret work is outstanding [*]The electronics are excellent [*]The ergonomics and usability design is evolutionary [*]The hardware is exceptionally well designed [*]They balance perfectly [*]They play like a dream [*]They feel wonderful in the hands [*]They are immensely versatile tonally [*]The set up options are better than anything else [*]The customer service and support is superb [*]There is no upcharge for lefties or fretless versions [*]Full user kit, manual and luxury gig bag with every one [*]Loads of great bassists play them [*]They are committed to continual improvement and deeply care about the entire process from inception to customer satisfaction [/list] So why do secondhand premium German Warwicks only seem to command less than a third of the new price, but people appear prepared to pay up to £700 for a secondhand Japan Fender Reissue. Make that nearly a grand with shipping and import duty if they source them from Japan. Fender could probably only manage about three or four of those bullets above. And why the f*** am I selling my superb Corvette $$ that has served me faultlessly live and in the studio for a stupid price (I'm getting even stupider offers too) so I can jump on the awful boring mindless Fender bandwagon?? Eh? Please convince me I am a complete f***ing tool. Thank you.

    I think I am going to have to part with my active German Warwick Corvette Standard fretless to be honest as I am after a decent Fender Jazz. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=109677&hl=DR+Neons"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=DR+Neons[/url] It's a beauty with a tiger-stripe ebony fingerboard. I refinished it in white though, it not a bad finish but not perfect, although it's got a good shine and the wood grain is visible through the paint, as I wanted it to be. Otherwise perfect. I bought it new for £749 from Thomann about 18 months ago, last of the Germans. Plays like a dream and sounds massive, lovely fretless tones. Fender Geddy Lee-like neck. Ash body, Ovankol neck. I'll be sad to see her go but hey, I don't play it much and I am GASing for a Jap Fender. I'll be happy with £350 if you're interested. Cheers, and good luck with your hunt. Nigel

    [quote name='KERMITNT' post='1101867' date='Jan 25 2011, 11:07 AM']Tzatziki is a cucumber yogurt dill sauce that makes a refreshing dip or a topper for gyros and pita sandwiches. The sauce is served chilled or at room temperature. Do use fresh mint or dill. Plan ahead to drain the yogurt overnight. Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: * 1 container (16 ounces) plain lowfat yogurt * 1/2 English (seedless) cucumber, not peeled, seeded and finely chopped plus a few thin slices * 1/1-2 teaspoons salt * 1 to 2 garlic cloves, chopped * 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh mint or dill plus additional sprigs * 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil * 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar so no sugar i am serius you must be as well basschat turned to a cooking site [/quote] Yes i know you, you talk the shits. you says prep time 15 minute then say prepare overnight. you talking the shits again. also, lowflat yougort is not nice you must use the best yougurt. of course the herbs has to be fresh, the dried ones is for people with no proper mouth and tongue tasting. also, i have job, i don't take the gyros from the goverments. why you think i has no job? YOU is the pita not me. at least you say no suger, that is good. The indain people puts suger in the raita which is to sweet for peole like me.

    [quote name='roonjuice' post='1100226' date='Jan 23 2011, 10:20 PM']I can offer you this for trade. as you can see , it oozes mojo from many years wear! I It is made of the FINEST hand carved and aged Coprolite, See wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprolite) for the unique tonal properties of this material combined with a "G"ash toneblock give the bass a truely unique tone. Think of a Sukker bass on diuretics! True noiseless pickups combine to produce discreet lows and subtle mids with complimentary understated highs that will ensure you never suffer from unwanted pre-amp distortion. Let me know![/quote] Yes thank you for this. I had a Copulate bass before and it was rubbis. Like yours.

    [quote name='Macko1968' post='1099847' date='Jan 23 2011, 05:24 PM']Well it's pretty much what it owed me so I wanted to pass the love on. I have my eye on something at the moment so needed to move it & my Lakland on, otherwise I'd have kept it.[/quote] You are clearly a lovely bloke, and I hope the Ricky brings you much, much pleasure! I look forward to seeing the Rick on here for £500 soon, please put my name at the top of your list
  21. xilddx
    Utter madness mate! £500 and it's not even in sh*t condition. Black Black Maple, one of the most desirable colour combos, MIA .. Even a MIJ would probably have fetched £500. Jesus. I wish you'd have left the description stuff up though so we have some reference info. Someone is very very happy!

    Beester. thank you for the offers. i like the 1964 jazz but not with John West retro in. thx again. I am a passive man. And yes I also like david van Day, he is very big here. EDIT: crazykwik, thank you too. I did have a celinder but the handles fell off and it did not propely drain the cabbage any way. But thanks anyway. I hope you get a quick sale.
