  1. Or Michael Angelo? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhpAmlL86gY&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhpAmlL86gY...feature=related[/url]
  2. £60 postage? I sent a bass to Poland for £47!
  3. I am now definitely selling/trading this. It's gorgeous, sounds awesome, plays beautifully. Basically i sholud like it much more than i do but i think i'm more a Warwick guy. I can't get away from the fact that i play a lot better on my Warwick than i do on this so it has to go i'm afraid. It's an Iceni Zoot Deluxe Custom, through neck is 7 piece maple and walnut seperated by ebony and maple stringers. 25 fret ebony fingerboard and a brass nut. Macassar ebony top and back with claro walnut core and maple veneers. Hipshot bridge and tuners with the D-Tuner on the E string. Schaller straplocks. Aero humbuckers with an Aguilar OPB 3 Pre (18v). It has an active/passive switch and a lo-pass filter switch (to cut the treble, instant dub on any setting) The only things i would mention is a bit of checking in the finish of the neck around the nut, purely cosmetic. It has also been a bit noisy stood close to my amp, something which i think could be easily sorted. Otherwise it is in fantastic condition and as you can see, looks the absolute tits. Comes in a Warwick Rockcase Flightcase. Used to belong to BCer Alanbass (think that was his name) who bought it from new. Would cost around £1700-£1800 if bought today going off the Zootbass website I am looking for a replacement as my main bass, a very nice Warwick would be preferred. I like thru necks, nice woods, the usual. My preferred models are Thumb, Infinity and maybe a Dolphin. Would also consider nice Corvettes plus maybe a bit of cash If i get no offers then no worries, i'm not in a mad rush to get rid of it. Cheers Steve
  4. Aye i thought it was the Zoot shape like mine, the one shared by the Chaser, Performer et al. A quick look on the site and Mike has all their production basses under the Zoot banner including the Fendery one. The Boudica was just called the Iceni Boudica though i think Confusing stuff!
  5. [quote name='AM1' post='489418' date='May 16 2009, 12:01 AM']I've got everything they've released and a few more besides! First album is an acquired taste, but some of the best albums are "growers!" You clearly haven't heard The Uplift Mofo Party Plan![/quote] Got all their albums, have RHCP and Uplift Mofo Party Plan on tape somewhere in the attic. I think Skinny Sweaty Man and Behind the Sun are the only ones i liked on TUMPP
  6. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='489776' date='May 16 2009, 01:22 PM']I thought it was £21,000 ?[/quote] It was, i quite clearly wrote that in my post Wayne. Tch tch!
  7. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48893"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48893[/url] EDIT as it's sold, but this is the sort of thing you should be looking at. Really good heads, try the Ashdowns and Peaveys too as they're really good bang for buck
  8. Looks like he's stuck chewing gum to the body then held a lighter under the headstock. Oh dear...
  9. An old Jazz (in showroom condition) with a supposed history going for £21,000 He had bought all the parts in the last month or so, all clearly visible in his feedback I sent him a message explaining how hilarious it was!
  10. That first one actually looks like a good buy. Of course it's likely to be a dog but that's really cheap
  11. You ever heard their first album? Utter tosh! Mothers Milk, BSSM and for me One Hot Minute are their best. One Hot Minute gets the vote purely for Aeroplane, Coffee Shop and Shallow be Thy Name, very underrated album Back OT, i'd like to thank the OP for reminding me what an ace band these guys are, dug their CDs out and gave em a good listen tonight. Used to cover Twisted many moons ago
  12. That's nonsense! One for gigging, one for backup, one for home practice, one for rehearsal!
  13. He's got a £2000 bass for half that, course he's the winner!
  14. Didn't intend to sound like a d1ck but hey, it's getting late for me!
  15. Lesson no.4 in the Basschat Buyers' Guide: "4. If you have a problem with the price of an item on the forum, stating it in an aggressive way on the thread undermines the sellers listing. Often however feedback on fair pricing is useful and constructive. Bear this in mind and be considerate and vigilant. If anyone is seen being aggressive or SERIOUSLY overpricing an item them you are best off sending a PM to the member and to a moderator. The best policy is that if you do not like the price, move on. The seller won’t sell and you avoid any arguments. " Whether you agree or disagree with this guy's price (FWIW i have no problem with it) prob best to PM. I've had someone post on one of my for sale threads telling everyone what the item was worth (and they were pretty wide of the mark) so know how annoying it can be
  16. Aye i used to cart a full stack about. The more PA gear we acquired the less bass gear i wanted to carry! I can carry my bass, amp, cab and lead bag in one go now
  17. I'm only 27 but have done the same, mainly out of pure laziness!
  18. 80kgs? Made my back hurt just reading it!
  19. Excellent basses these, has the added bonus of looking rather smart too! Bubinga ones were more expensive as well
  20. Haha! Every time i get a bass delivered to work i spend half the day playing it! Very nice looking bass too, i've never seen a bad looking fortress though
  21. This is looking great now, very entertaining build diary as well!
  22. Some people think they can be on par (or better) than USA Fenders, some experience bad ones that er, aren't! I tried a few and they were all well below par for a £400+ bass, i ended up buying a Squier because it was a far better bass. However there are extremely good ones, some folk on here swear by them
  23. Billy Gould - Faith No More Larry Graham - Sly & Family Stone, Solo Geezer Butler - Black Sabbath Verdine White - Earth Wind & Fire A good way to cop some ace basslines is just to get the generic Disco/Motown/Funk boxsets that go cheap in HMV etc. You can get the 3 CD sets for around a fiver, loads of top tunes on them. I bought a few a while ago and there's Chaka Kahn, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Rick James..... you get the picture! Plus introduces you to stuff you wouldn't have heard otherwise
  24. Good stuff! I'm regretting not bagging the one on eBay now! It's my favourite Warwick shape How much if you don't mind me asking?
