Sold my Templeboard to Nash, great guy to deal with, smooth sale. Thanks mate!

Adam just bought a pedalboard from me, easy deal, top bloke!

Alan bought my Harley Benton Shorty from me, absolute pleasure to deal with, thanks!

Oh that is wonderful! Congrats!

Thanks again everyone, had a rehearsal Wednesday, it really does sounds, play and feel great, fair play to Warwick this is one hell of an instrument and yeah that neck is wonderful. Kev - Will do but i'm a wee bit smitten, don't think this one will be going anywhere mate! Just about to load the Van and Head to Sound Check for tonight's show, first proper outing!

Thanks again guys. New strings on and tweaked the set up a little, about a quarter turn tighter on the truss rod, taken about .6mm out of the action and dropped the pickups to match, il let that settle in over night but i think we are going to be very happy together. Right i'm off, Studio with the guys, looking forward to this!

[quote name='djaxup' timestamp='1501083700' post='3342365'] please report after the first gig with it [/quote] Will do [quote name='gingerfish' timestamp='1501083735' post='3342366'] That really is a beautiful bass. A five string version might be my dream bass. Whats the USB cable in the user kit for? Battery charging? [/quote] Yeah the 5's are stunning! Thats right,the little hole on the cover on the back is to charge the preamp,there's a tiny little LED next to the hole to show its charging.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1501074046' post='3342268'] Have to confess to being a Warwick fan, but this did have me say "oh, wow!" That bass is seriously nice. How well does it hang on the strap? What does it weigh? [/quote] Thanks! I'ts 4.6kg on my digital bathroom scales. Its sits quite nice on the strap actually, you know you are wearing something thats for sure! The rear pin is in a slightly different position to my 93 with recessed and i like how that feels, theres a little pull towards the head, hardly anything but with a less grippy strap i can imagine it might feel a touch more noticeable. Its a very satisfying bass to wear i have to say. Minor issue, one of the 2 strap locks is not working, its stuck in the release position which i luckily noticed before i stood up, i have to be honest ive been a Dunlop guy since forever and having a problem with these straight off the bat is making me think i will be putting some Dunlops on this in time for Fridays show. EDIT - Saying that i have managed to unstick it and its moving freely but still jamming in the release position once every half a dozen tries, not sure i want to take the chance with it, we will see i guess.

Cheers guys

I don't usually do these but i feel like i really should for this.. This arrived this morning, ordered only 5 weeks ago so was expecting to wait another 5 weeks for it so a nice surprise particularly as i have a few hours in the rehearsal studio tonight before 2 shows this weekend so this will be getting thorough work out. Its a fairly standard spec Thumb, Bubinga Body, Wenge Neck with a Tiger Stripe Ebony board, the new wood tuning pegs and truss rod cover to match the neck, its got a brass bridge with the latest MEC 3 band pre (the one with the USB charger witch i very much like!) In fact the only thing that makes if different is i had it set up BEAD, so it has a custom cut Just A Nut lll to accommodate the necessary string gauges. The first thing that has struck me is the craftsmanship is frankly astonishing, i don't think ive ever held anything this well made in my hands, its flawless (and heavy which i like, never liked a bass thats too light) I feel ive lucked out a little with the woods, this particular piece of Bubinga is to my eyes stunning and the Wenge is just how i like it, plus the Tiger Stripe Ebony is just the right amount of subtle, couldn't be happier really. The set up is really good, a little high for my taste and i don't like the strings, i'l be getting my preferred choice on shortly and having a little tweak of the set up to get it just right for me. Only had it on my rig at home but so far it sounds every bit as good as i hoped and expected. Couldn't be happier, had to move a lot of basses on to justify this order but i definitely made the right choice.
