Westfield "Small Body" bass *open to offers* - *SOLD*
Richard R replied to Richard R's topic in Basses For Sale
Update: I was able to compare this to a Warwick Thumb at the Midlands Bass Bash, and in fact they are almost exactly the same size. I remember thumbs as being bigger, evidently I was wrong. -
Assuming you are a genius who has some time to invest and isn't costing it 😁 Sadly us mere mortals can only watch in awe from the cabbage fields.

Welcome aboard!
-
Spot on! If I email Spector, will they tell me the date of manufacture?
-
Are we happy to use the same venue for next year?
-
Thanks all. It won't be sold, it's going to get played again now. Churches, as charities, have audited accounts so an idea of asset value is important. Where would I get knobs from?
-
Thanks all! I'll send the ident chart over and see if it's bolt on or set neck, that should settle it, and get the s/n if it is on the headstock. Where can we source new gold knobs, and what's the current value of the bass likely to be?
-
Careful @Frank Blank, you'll end up enjoying yourself! 😉 @Owen - did you get the bass? I forgot to ask.

Turns out the lead guitarist at church used to play bass when he was a yoof, and brought this along this morning. He's borrowed it from his old church, where it's sat unplayed for ages. Can anyone identify the model? Estimate it was purchased about 15 years ago, guess would have been no more than £300 new. The back is nicely chamfered and it's two EMG HiZ pickups. Not sure on what the knobs do, but when I collect it to set it up I will find out.

Sorry again, was that baking powder or bicarb I should use if my nuts dropped too low?
-
Great photos, Pete. Some of the gear would be good as well. I know we've not had the invoice for the hall, but do you have an idea of the the profit on the day to go to Nordorf Robbins?
-
I really should have had a proper look at that. @Marillionred - is that a standard thumb size? The reason for asking is that the Westfield is for sale, and I've stated it is smaller than a thumb. But compared to yours it is almost exactly the same size, so I need to correct the advertisement.
-
Who had the Warwick Thumb that we compared in size to my Westfield? I was surprised, as I thought Thumbs were larger.
-
Having listened to this, I now find I have "Everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears for Fears stuck in my head. This happens a lot, I listen to songs and for some reason they send me off somewhere completely different. No idea why most of the time.
-
@Jabba_the_gut - one of yours I think? I didn't get to see it.
-
Shhhhhh.......

Dude with hat - I know his real name, but not his BC name. Dude booked in by car - RichardD.

Welcome aboard! Lovely bass. Lots of friendly folk on here, talking about basses and other stuff.
-
I managed somehow to not play a single Wal, despite there being lots there. Notable basses for me included @Owen's Overwater 6 (strung F#,B,E,A,D,G) but sounded quite amazing, @floFC's Kramer with the aluminium neck, @emperormingus's 58 Hofner and @Machines's Dingwall D-roc. All very different approaches to making a bass. Having @Andyjr1515go over my bass setup was clearly a highlight, especially as the intonation issue on the B string was solved by raising the string height by 0.5mm. As simple as that! Now I have to do the other basses.
-
Photographs to start the gallery: "Can anyone tell me what this wooden bit is called? Anyone??" Andy' setup guide starts with the basics. Aluminium necked Kramer - really nice to play. And thanks to The Music Inn for supporting us with some raffle prizes.

I think you won three jumbo tubes of orange smarties. Pete has them on someone's behalf. That's because you didn't buy a ticket, isn't it?
-
See you all tomorrow. 👍😎
-
You have my sympathy, cross country from North Wales is a trek. Have you left already, or just planning?
-
Cameras are good, cakes are better! I was hoping my daughter would bake, but she declined due to it being the last week if her uni exams etc. Fair play, I shall purchase something instead.

Does anyone have a spare guitar stand I can borrow for the event?
