  1. Nice, these are, had the super supreme version, not sure it made much difference. Just on the Chic/Funk thing. I'm nuts into that kinda stuff, can't play it for sh*t, but well I try. You should maybe consider a vintage Aria Pro II SB or RSB series with flatwounds, mighty funk, not slappy, but funky as f%*k. I had an RSB800 with flatwounds, mmmmmmmmmmmm, The GroovyPlucker
  2. [quote name='jon_kemo' post='691034' date='Dec 21 2009, 09:36 PM']Did you get my PM re: Ibanez trade?[/quote] Hi, Yea, sorry I did but didn't get around to replying. I'm not sure it's exactly what I'm after, having said that I'm currently looking at the Doug Wimbish 5 String. Had the 4 string before and thought it was ok, very slim neck. Your Ibanez seems to have a much wider neck, so not so sure about it for now, but if you're very keen on the Corvette get back to me, Cheers The GroovyPlucker
  3. [quote name='Dogz73' post='690899' date='Dec 21 2009, 07:11 PM']Hiya, I think i've been bidding on this on Evil Bay this week but didn't hit the reserve. What are you looking for? Cheers[/quote] Hi, Yeah, had it up there a couple of times, reserve was £600, which for this bass is more than reasonable, let me know if you're interested and maybe we can do a deal. Thanks The GroovyPlucker
  4. [quote name='simon1964' post='690384' date='Dec 21 2009, 08:51 AM']That looks familiar - did you trade this with Budget Bassist? If so, its my old $$. Cracking bass - have a bump on me![/quote] Hi, Tis the same one, yep, decent fella, just get by better with the 5 string, not sure why, but hey there you go, thanks for the bump, almost like a male pregnancy thing going on here, what an interesting concept, not. The GroovyPlucker
  5. This bass was traded with another user on this forum, and having also aquired the same model in a 5 string version, am not overjoyed with the 4 string version, so maybe time to try something else. Open to trades, and looking Yamaha TRB Fender Deluxe Precision [U.S. not MX] High End Ibanez Or just hit me with your ideas, would be willing to sell also. By the way, the Bass is in Nirvana Black.

  6. [quote name='jon_kemo' post='690087' date='Dec 20 2009, 07:49 PM']Only got this in September from BottomEndian but just not getting on with the width of the neck and find my Ibanez SR505 much easier to handle. The bass is in excellent condition and has an extremely versatile 3 band pre-amp to get the best of the Bartolini pickups. Pictures are from the original for sale thread (hope BottomEndian doesn't mind me using them) but the bass is in exactly the same condition as it arrived to me although I have restrung it with Elixirs.

Technical specs from Ibanez cab be seen here: [url="http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-BTB775PB"]http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-BTB775PB[/url][/quote] Hi, I have a 4 & 5 String Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck, of which I'm thinking of trading the 4 string, however, was looking into the possibilty of an Ibanez, was just wondering about the neck width and depth of your Ibanez compared to my corvette 5. The corvette 5's neck is great for me, have had Ibanez before as I know they're necks are generally slim, so was suprised by the corvette's slim neck also. I love my Corvette 5, but hate the 4 string version, so looking a trade, interested? The GroovyPlucker
  7. [quote name='rad-L' post='684370' date='Dec 14 2009, 07:43 PM']Hi I have to sell one of my guitars. I would rather stay with my Yamaha but... we will see. I have couple years old Yamaha TRB 1005. It has some marks. scratches etc. (nothin' major) plays beautifully. One of the besTEST basses i've ever played on. I can send photos on your e-mail if required. Second guitar is approx 3 months old Ibanez SR506. Still have receipt and I still pay the finances for this one. Anyway I have to get rid with one of these guitars ASAP. Offers please. I'm located in Coventry. cheers[/quote] Hi, Can we see some pics, is the TRB Korean? Cheers The GroovyPlucker
  8. Hi, How wide and deep is the neck on the Yamaha, I have a Warwick Corvette Double Buck, which is quite narrow, and not too wide, for a 5 string, does the trb compare? Cheers The GroovyPlucker
  9. Another triumph for distance trading. From the forum Basses for sale thread was contacted by budget bassist for an exchange for my Musicman for his Warwick $$. Made all the nessecary plans re postage times etc, and just as before, we posted the same day, same service and both arrived with a new Bass apiece. Just to reiterate to any sceptics, this idea[L] can and does work, and we're both happy traders with our new toys. Many, many, thanks to Sam for an effortless, and smooth trade, an honourable member of this community. The GroovyPlucker

  13. [quote name='the hand of john curley' post='657574' date='Nov 17 2009, 10:35 PM']Just to put my two penneth worth in!! I traded my $$ 5 string with Mr Plucker for his LE2008 HH Sterling which I love to bits! I can confirm that he is a top bloke to deal with and would recommend without hesitation. Cheers!! Matt[/quote] Hi, Thanks for that Matt, was meaning to get back to you, am loving the 5 string, hence the overwhelming desire for another Warwick, how are you getting on with the Sterling, Cheers The GroovyPlucker

  15. Hi, If I can just cut through the barracades for a moment before we lose the trade thread, I'm now retiring to make my love on wasteland to the dulcite tones of Duran Duran, oh no what have I done now! The GroovyPlucker [spellchecker not present]

  17. [quote name='Chipps' post='657098' date='Nov 17 2009, 03:30 PM']Wow, that's a very sparkly finish isn't it... I've not played a MM - how does it compare to a Warwick neck then?[/quote] Hi, It's probably not as sparkly as the pics suggests, the flash just excentuates it, it looks more matt when you're on stage. The MM.s neck is wider, but about the same depth. I have small hands, but can cope with it ok. The main difference is that the MM is heavier, body wise especially, but not uncomfortably so, just noticibly so. Apart from that there's very little between em. The main diference I find is the MM is more meaty, in a slightly precision way, and the Warwick is more woody and sharp, not sure if that's an accurate description, but it's how I view them, Cheers The GroovyPlucker
  18. Ha, so do I! It's a cracking Bass, but have just fallen in lurve with my Corvette Double Buck 5 String, so looking a 4 string Warwick. Just an additional pointer to anyone considering trade, I'm based in Northern Ireland, and have recently traded a bass with another user, via the post, you can check the details out in the feedback section, again just to put any potential traders minds at rest, unless of course the potential trader resides in Norn Iron. Cheers The GroovyPlucker
