[quote name='Cairobill' post='426451' date='Mar 5 2009, 05:02 PM']My God that was quick...
I've ogled from the sidelines with this one including the last time it was sold...I plan one day to get a maple with pearl blocks jazz and this model will be the one. My first bass was a Japanese copy of this type of bass (albeit with black blocks) and I vow one day to have a real one!
Incidentally a while ago I too sold a 1976, rosewood board, pearl blocks and binding Fender J for 400 quid through Andy's. It sounded great but weighed about 2 tonnes so I'm not too regretful...

[quote name='joe_bass' post='424883' date='Mar 4 2009, 11:10 AM']Couldn't agree more, exactly what happened when I sold mine.
Good luck mate that's a decent price! Just a case of waiting for the aforementioned right buyer.[/quote]
Thanks joebass,it is a cracking bass so if it doesnt sell i wont be too distraught! -
[quote name='simon1964' post='421925' date='Feb 28 2009, 07:59 PM']Can't believe this hasn't sold at that price! I love mine - have a bump on me![/quote]

[quote name='mickd' post='419160' date='Feb 25 2009, 12:08 PM']Looking to sell my warwick thumb 4 string bolt on,it is in mint condition (the only blemish on it is a slight flake of paint that has come off one of the tuners).
It is a 1999 model so it has the wenge neck (which most players seem to prefer over the ovangcol ones) and an ovangcol body.
It comes complete with warwick gig,wax and truss rod adjuster.
looking to sell this to finance some GAS! Reduced to £620.
cheers Mick.[/quote]
bump.
still for sale. -

[quote name='Chelios' post='419191' date='Feb 25 2009, 12:43 PM']Rellly nice man, i have a 5 string, Only thing is, looking at the pictures, it looks like, between the strap button and bridge there is a a crack in the wood or a white mark?[/quote]
Its definatly not a crack!
Its like martthebass pointed out its the line where the two halves of the body join. -

[quote name='jacmksoncaddy' post='417153' date='Feb 23 2009, 09:04 AM']Hey Bass Chat Forum,
I bought this bass as I joined a band that needed a bassist (i usually play guitar). The band didn't really take off, and i'm now left with an as new Marcus Miller IV that I have no use for!
It was bought in December from The Guitar Store in Southampton for 699.99 with a receipt to prove.
As new condition, beautiful natural ash grain on the body, sounds really bright and punchy in active mode. So easy to play with a really nice C shape neck. Made in Japan.
Still wearing its factory strings!
Fender Deluxe gigbag, all hang tags and tools included.
Pics to follow...
Price is 500 firm. I'll keep it if it doesn't sell for this.
Located in Southampton
This pic is the exact bass when it was in the shop - more to follow tonight.

[quote name='Rowbee' post='384157' date='Jan 18 2009, 05:07 PM']You might want to consider a Musicman Sterling too. There's a very pretty one on sale in the Bass Marketplace section at the moment - I am in no way affiliated with the seller, by the way. [/quote]
Definately second what Rowbee says,i love my sterling! I used to have a stingray too which was another great bass but prefer the slimmer feel of the sterlings neck. -
[quote name='ped' post='378588' date='Jan 13 2009, 07:23 AM']You would be surprised how the front pickup sounds on this bass, like a mixture of stingray and P bass. Definitely sounds like it is further forward if you catch my drift. Unlike some basses with a similar layout each pickup is very usable on its own.
Cheers

Sold to beneath it all today,thanks for all the positive comments chaps over the last few weeks! Thats a mighty fine bass you've got mike! cheers -
[quote name='Musky' post='378707' date='Jan 13 2009, 10:35 AM']I've got one. They track well and make the usual kinds of synthy and squelchy sounds. Easy enough to use as well. Some people seem to prefer the Deep Impact, though that may or may not be connected with the fact that Chris Wolstenholme uses one - I've not tried one to compare.[/quote]
what does the expression pedal do? How much does the pedal cost as a stand alone item? -
[quote name='BassManKev' post='378705' date='Jan 13 2009, 10:27 AM']theres one for sale in the effects forum too, never tried one but from what iv heard in sound clips its pretty funky[/quote]
Interesting,i might put a bid on the one on ebay it looks mint and its not far from me.cheers kev -
Spotted one of these for sale on ebay just now,anybody ever owned one? If so any good?

[quote name='ped' post='378149' date='Jan 12 2009, 07:40 PM']Madness! I have never seen a better condition series 2 bass. I don't think I ever will, they didn't make many![/quote]

[quote name='BassBunny' post='375056' date='Jan 9 2009, 01:19 PM']Another piece of proposed legislation that will adversely affect live music
in the UK:
It appears that the government wish to consider, (for consider read "implement"), it a legal requirement in the new tax year to introduce laws insisting anyone applying or re-applying for an entertainment license must have a noise control device fitted to the venue. This will be the final NAIL for ALL entertainment in the UK as the level at which these devices CUT you off is dreadfully low and damaging. I read an article about this in November and the proposed level mentioned then was 70Db. About the same as a hair dryer.
Someone has organised a petition on the Government Petition Site. I urge you ALL to sign it. Not only will this law affect musicians but the whole musical instrument industry, fans, venues.......
Just imagine that vast stock of gear you have would become worthless.
PLEASE DON'T DISMISS THIS. Spread the word and get everyone you know who loves live music to sign the petition. Bands, family, pets, venues, fans just get everyone you know to sign it. No one is saying it will make a difference, but if you don't try, you don't know.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION HERE:

Signed,this is a disgrace!!!! -
[quote name='ped' post='376092' date='Jan 10 2009, 01:05 PM']Someone buy it!!! Maybe a sound clip of my own similar bass would help things - or totally kill off any interest!!! [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WILDNiF6k38"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WILDNiF6k38[/url]
