Love it! Got to love a bit of Jarvis. The coolest uncool musician out there. -
I could have saved you the bother of removing the lid. I've got the MOSFET version and it still has a red glow, so I was never under any illusion that it came from valves. It sure looks purdy though.

Can someone please explain Warwick pricing?
Newfoundfreedom replied to Newfoundfreedom's topic in General Discussion
Yes I was talking about second hand prices. Thanks Nige. -

Newfoundfreedom replied to Newfoundfreedom's topic in General Discussion
Nice one. Thanks Nige. That covers the model changes, but still doesn't explain the massive varience in prices. -
I had a Double Humbucker Warwick Thumb many moons ago, which if I remember correctly, I paid about £1200 for new. Now I'm seeing Warwick's at all kinds of prices, at both ends of the spectrum. Can someone please explain to me the range and pricing structure? I've figured that the Rockbass is kind of the equivalent of Squire to Fender, i.e the mass produced in the far East somewhere range. But what's going on with the others? I've seen Corvette's go from two to three hundred quid, to well over a grand. What's that all about? Obviously, condition will reflect value, but all things being equal. I quite fancy another Warwick, but I've no idea what the lower value ones are like.

I don't mind depping it, as long as they cover my travel expenses. 😂 (I live in Bulgaria)

Oh that's just too sweet! If that were me, the Facebook page would be a tribute to midget porn before the first carol singers of the season came knocking.

Never heard of them. I shall give it a watch and educate myself. -
Being a relatively new " born again bassist " I've only ever left one band. Actually, half a band as some of us are still together. It got to the point where it became obvious that the band was pulling in different directions, I didn't want to fall out with anybody, so I messaged the rest of the band to say that I would honour the gigs we'd already got booked ( even though there was one in particular I really didn't want to do ) then I was out. Which I thought was fair enough. I didn't want to leave anyone in the lurch. So we then went out separate ways. Two of the guitarists went off on their own, and have since been advertising for a bass player, " no previous experience necessary, full training provided ". Just goes to show how much my role in the band was valued and appreciated. After all. Any idiot can play bass.

Quitting band etiquette. Shout "fx#@ you guys. I'm done" at the top of your voice, then stomp to the door and slam it as loudly as possible behind you. Come back five minutes later and spend an awkward half an hour sheepishly packing up your gear whilst trying not to make eye contact with anybody.

It's an ice-cream cone in Northern Ireland.

We used to play this, and the conclusion was, there are so many different variations of the song, due in part to Chuck using different session musicians rather than his own backing band, that there really was no such thing as an "original" way to play it. I used to play it as straight 12 bar, and it sounded fine to me.

Cheap does not necessarily equal bad quality. I've played some superb budget basses. I've also played some expensive ones that are absolute sh1te!

Ugly, even for a Wishbass

It looks like it was conjured as opposed to built. -

Must have taken him all day. At £8 an hour. That's at least forty quids worth of work. Too rich for my blood!

Wonderful, not weird at all
Newfoundfreedom replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
It's nice enough. But I never really got the vintage instrument thing. I'd rather have something shiney and new. Maybe I'm just a heathen. -
Nice that the kids still see our chosen instrument as cool
Newfoundfreedom replied to Mook's topic in General Discussion
Oh God No! That's just noise! Maybe (thankfully) my mind is only capable of comprehending kindergarten jazz. -

Musically it's fine. Quite a catchy little ditty. Reminiscent of some of the early 90's Indy stuff. I just hate bad lyrics. I'm surprised by the recent thread on the very subject, how many people don't care about, or even listen to lyrics. Bad, forced, meaningless lyrics are a deal breaker for me.
