lol cause this is what AAAA quilted maple looks like? [url="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/celtiknihilist/warwickvampyreLTD1.jpg"]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/celtiknihilist/warwickvampyreLTD1.jpg[/url] -*- kidding aside, i do notice the pattern isn't as heavily quilted as the vampyre LTDs and NTs ive seen ... and oh, i also read that there are some Vampyre LTDs that have Flamed Maple tops... -

i have replied VL01 -*- and yes, Chris, that was me the vampyre LTD (who was originally from marcbass) is still with me. i wonder if the guy who ripped me off still frequents the forums?

SOLD and will be on its way to Singapore -*- hey guys, i have a very nice Ken Smith BSR5MS here, and it is a bit too nice that i am not fully able to use its potential. its a 2009 model and the condition is very very very good, from the frets to the electronics ... the only cosmetic flaw i can think of are some buckle marks from behind, and they are difficult to photograph. you may not notice them unless you really look for them. i will be shipping it along with a TKL Hardcase it came with. and oh, i am from the Philippines and the reason why i have a Basschat account was that because a few years back, some guy from the UK scammed me of a Warwick Vampyre LTD ... it is with the help of this forum and great contribution from Shockwave, that i was able to get the bass (they even set a Paypal donation account to have my best shipped to me). Rest assured, i am very honest, and there is no way in the world i will misrepresent or flat-out, scam anyone. [color=#FF0000][b]selling it for: 2,150 Euros[/b][/color] + [i]shipped![/i] shipping is usually a b*tch ... that is why i will split the cost with you. i'll do my best to come up with a favorable deal. -*- as for trades: i really want a trade plus cash deal for a 5 string Warwick Infinity NT, or a Vampyre LTD - but if your wicks are really really nice, then i just might go for a straight trade, despite the fact that wicks have terrible resale value. i am looking to DOWNGRADE, so please run any 5 stringer with me ... i'd avoid trades that require me to add cash. as much as i'd like a Ritter or even a Wal ... i really have no money. enough of that, and on to the pics (the pics were from the guy i got it from, i pretty much kept it the same way): -*- and finally, here's a clip of me, playing it wrong: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeZMIUO5On4[/media]

-
oh... i thought the torzal is the same as fanned frets... oh well...
-
i also added fanned frets... i realized it actually helps me big time when i go into higher notes ... i guess im going with it for the comfort more than the added tension.... i also noticed this bass doesnt have a mono bridge system: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLi8pOa6zYk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLi8pOa6zYk[/url] so im thinking itll be fine with a Kahler
-
ive decided and i have sent my request to the luthier... so here are the specs: -34" neck 4 string -wenge neck and fretboard -bubinga body -hipshot ultralite tuners -KAHLER TREMOLO (*lol*) -EMG P/J active PUPs -Seymour Duncan Pre-amp -carved top -chinese character abalone "Teh" inlays with side dots -ritter bolt system not much of a unique custom... but oh well, the unique customs really are expensive with not much tonal differences from "simple" wood... its really too bad i dont have that luxury
-
i see... so that Fodera ddnt have Bubinga in it at all? ... whats the difference between a seymour duncan and EMG pups? ... believe it or not, i havent tried em...
-
i see... so that is really Bubinga on that Fodera? ... cause i realized it could also be Afzelia.... the owner doesnt seem to reply to msgs (must be quite a busy guy).... and one more thing... alder body + wenge neck-fretboard + SD PUP and preamp = could sound as punchy and growly as that Fodera? im thinking that when it boils down to it... i would prefer tone over aesthetics and color combination.... although, i really dont want anything black *lol*
-
im liking this tone so much... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PORjKLlfqgg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PORjKLlfqgg[/url] im thinking thats probably bubinga on that? -*- i see.... ill take note of that wot. glad the trem is getting a lil love now *lol*

[quote name='caruso' post='473419' date='Apr 27 2009, 03:27 PM']Fanned frets I don't feel necessary for a 4 string e-string sounds good on most 34scale basses. A Kahler may be fine but how often are you going to use it in a song? And it is very heavy adding to the overall weight. Birdseye maple for neck and fretboard: ok, go for the fretboard only, neck made from rock maple will be fine. I don't undestand the realtion between the Pope and the Snakewood thing. All regarding the ... on a budget... situation. Just my thoughts after reading your post. Cheers.[/quote] i see... what good preamp/pup can you recommend for metal and funk stuff? ... and when you say "cutting" ... doesnt it depend on the amp and the EQ? i dont mind the weight since i play warwicks *lol* but you are right about that kahler being a "fun" thing more than a functional one since i probably can only use it in song endings and such.... as for the pope, well i dont mind spending for it if its really THAT worth it (my fusion and jazz chops suck terribly though, so the pope might not be so good - how about Nordstrand?) ... and snakewood... well, ive loved it the first time i saw it on a website, so i could really put off the custom until i can afford snake wood (is it really that expensive?) -*- thanks for sharing pete... Fanned = good for 5 string (ill keep that in mind since i havent owned a 5 string that made me happy, i always end up selling em).
-
i agree peted, thats why i stated it in "problem nos 2" ... fanned frets and kahler trem, dont play together... so if it were you, which option would you choose and why? thanx

hi everyone, long time no post here ... i wonder if i can still see familiar names help me out on this one. here goes: im planning to have a custom bass made by JCbasses (i dont know when, hopefully next month) ... and i have no experience with it whatsoever, so far i have only the body design, but i am really confused with the wood combination. i want a blonde looking bass so i thought about: -alder body (i wonder if i can get away with cheap alder, or maybe i should have swamp ash instead?) -flamed maple top -bird's eye maple neck and fretboard -mike pope preamp -seymour duncan dual coil PUPs -fanned fret -kahler bridge w/ trem bar -gold or chrome hardware PROBLEMS: 1.) i want an agressive roaring Thumb NT 5 sound (i play metal but occasionally enjoy jamming on funk at home)... so that means wenge neck and fingerboard and bubinga body... but i want a "blonde bass" since all of my basses here have that stereotypical "dark" look (except for the vampyre LTD, but still, it has an ebony fingerboard). any compromise here? 2.) fanned frets .. i havent played nor touched them, but ppl NEVER say a bad thing about it, so i want that... what does it do really? give a B string a tighter sound, and not have much use for a 4 string? make you play faster? it wouldnt have been a problem except its not compatible with a KAHLER trem.... i know fanned frets have a monolithic bridge system. help me choose: fanned frets? or lots of whammy fun with a Kahler Tremolo? 3.) im working on a budget... so i guess i can only have ONE high end option, like a buck-eye top or something *lol* but i dont mind paying extra to get a really unique look (im actually hoping he can get Snakewood) or a significant tone upgrade (which explains the mike pope preamp). thanks everyone!

i did some sort of a video tour about the vampyre LTD 4 ... its really terrible, but well, you might wanna check it out [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INen5A3opXg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INen5A3opXg[/url]

*lol* your comments really cracked me up ... and no no no, i will never sell this bass ... the other vampyres have to go before this (but before those vampyres go, i think ill sell the rest of my gear first, and that will only happen if i declare bankrupcy *lol*). i have been staring and playing this vampyre the whole night, i just got back from work (work today involved putting trash/dirt accumulated in our property in sacks) and my fingers are numb from dragging those heavy things, so all i could do now is look at it. soundwise, i think the LTD is the sound i originally wanted before i got both Darklord and Vampyre SN ... if i got this before those other vampyres, i probably wouldnt have got the others*lol* send me a PM if any of you will be visiting! ... now, im thinking of either a BC Rich Widow or a 5 string dolphin pro 1 *lol* just kidding! i promised myself no amps or expensive basses until dec 2009 ... now, let's see if i can keep that promise

thank you for making me feel welcome again guys i feel like a prodigal member here...

i do not know how to start this ... i was very rude, ungentlemanly and arrogant with my last posts. i had my motivation, i had my reasons and i had my temper. Those things do not excuse me however... and this is no place to discuss it i will not attempt to explain nor justify what i said ... a whole lot of you did not deserve it. i apologize from the deepest corners of my hear... for the things i said, the things i might have implied, and the ppl i hurt. you should know though, that eventhough during those times i was mad ... i never for a second became thankless, that is not my nature. you have done a lot. i know some of your names... but there's a bigger lot of you i do not know that deserves just as much of my gratitude for the support you gave and the things you might have done for me. i do hope you have it in your hearts to forgive me. -*- my vampyre arrived today i ddnt notice it (no one was home) until an hour later. this is one of the best days of my life, and i want to share it to you... you who have sufferred and followed my "saga" ... i do hope you feel the happiness i feel right now. i wont mention names this time because all of you are important - from the bottom of my heart.... thank you. -reuel [attachment=17313:VampyreHome__1_.JPG] [attachment=17314:VampyreHome__3_.JPG] [attachment=17315:VampyreHome__4_.JPG] [attachment=17316:VampyreHome__6_.JPG] [attachment=17317:VampyreHome__8_.JPG]

anyway, this is the last time i will reply on this matter. i will not answer PMs and i will block anyone wanting to make a court case about this. these are the ppl i will be replying to: Greg Warwick Hunt Bass Octopus Florin gman shockwave burpster kiwi steve norris wayne punkdude boo DocB Alexclaber -*- the rest of you ... just have a good time hanging me ... i mean, it was fun what yo did to jake right? so you can do that to me now! -*- and i ddnt say this before, but at least let me get this out of my chest: while the whole thing with jake was going on and the threads were closed ... i just find it amazing how it seemed like some of you were SOOOO MAD at Jake and you wanted to ban him, sue him, hang him, etc... when truth is, you have lost nothing at all. i actually forgave Jake but noooohhhh... you just cant do that now can you? cause you have to be this voice of justice and show everyone what you think justice really is! shame on you. you act like that when you have lost nothing at all ....
-
i have been nothing but thankful ... but finding out that people wanted to REMAIN IN CONTROL of the money they supposedly donated, just does it for me... -*- its really ironic that the ppl who really helped me, ddnt ask for anything... while the ones who did nothing but enjoyed the hanging of jake, are now sooo concerned and sooo mad at how i am acting right now? -*- beedster, thank you sooo much for your donation!!! gratitude enough? and just to be honest, i dont even remember you actually. but oh well, if you donated, you donated and thank you so much for that again ... -*- to some of you: now, i hope you'll get your money back or donate it to some charity ... or wait... maybe you would want your money back after finding out a Red Cross staff will actually use it to buy a toy for his middle income-grown kid? if that's how SOME OF YOU feel about things... please do the world a great favor and DO NOT DONATE.
