If you are on a budget, take a look at the (active) Wharefdale Titans. I've used a pair as vocal monitors and FOH on smallish gigs (light rock band so should be a breeze for other less full sounding bands) and they do as good a job as more expensive makes; in fact they do a better job when compared to a pair of recent Mackie speakers (not sure if it was the Thumps).

Actually I've just realised that he has potentially been very VERY clever; watchers/bidders of his earlier listing may well come back to bid on this and get severely stung as he doesn't indicate what it is other than the briefest description... how can a buyer claim misrepresentation? Very clever.

[quote name='bassman344' timestamp='1357317189' post='1920960'] Anybody played the modern player tele bass ??? [/quote] If you are looking at the Telebass then you may as well buy my funky 54 reissue and route it for a 2nd pup as per a Jazz!

If you set aside the argument/debate over the aesthetics of the Roadworn series, the Roadworn Jazz is a cracking bass and worthy of consideration!

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1357315218' post='1920900'] ... he doesn't say anywhere that it's an Original bass or give any year. We're all just putting 2+2 together. [/quote] His previous listing for the exact same bass saysl; "[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=1][center]Vintage Fender Precision Bass 1961 pre CBS[/center][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000] [font="Arial"][size="4"][i]Made in USA[/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000] [font="Arial"][size="4"]All original parts, no replacements. "[/size][/font][/color]

Strange that it didn't sell with a reserve @ £2000+ yet it now has no reserve and less details in the listing.

The TOTAL lack of info makes me think that it is a wrong un in some way (if not every way)!

Not ANOTHER feckin Geordie! Welcome Adam, stick around it can be good craic on here and if you need advice it's always worth asking on BC first... Oh unless it's about wimmin, as we are all useless in that respect (hence we frequent a forum with other bassists)! I'm significantly younger than Big Al (3mths) and we may well know your Dad, so don't feel embarrassed, name names or bands!

Typical Warwick woods and construction with a pair of MEC P pups. It was a great sounding bass and not too different to play from a 4 string but the 8 string sound doesn't suit every band/song!

Having just looked back through this whole thread (sad I know but several recent postings have had me craving for Warwick p*rn ), I realised that I said back on page 1 or 2 that I'd post up pics of some of my past Warwicks... and I didn't! So here goes (there me be some overlap/duplication as time went by).

Bargain or not - only the buyer will know! It'll cost about £450 to find out after import costs [/size][/font][/color] [/quote] Is that an E or K at the start of the serial number?

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1356977087' post='1916002'] Do all the JV's have "Fender" in big font then a smaller "Squier"? Curious. [/quote] No, only the very first JVs had the large Fender/small Squier logo (other than the non-export Fender/Squier from that period); JV's 'generally' have the small Fender logo. <edit> Oh and out of principle I wouldn't buy a Squier from someone who couldn't spell it correctly in their title.

...when it is a 1990 Jap Squier! Well the serial number dates it to then any way. If you add on shipping and 20-25% in tax/duty then it isn't such a bargain.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1356960720' post='1915607'] I just got an e-mail from the Hamer forum mods who advise that, 'Hamer brand guitars will no longer be produced after the current round of custom ordes are complete.' I find this a sad day. Hamer may not be to everyone's taste, but they certainly resurrected a handful of dead in the water Gibson designs and introduced some new poop into the market. I'll miss them. P [/quote] Shame as they made some cracking guitars and basses. I'll still own a Hamer 12 one day but it maybe just got a bit harder to find one!

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1356874170' post='1914520'] You what? Fookin ell !!!!!!! Mark Chapman could take lessons from you. [/quote] Yep, 'Hi-Tec' hacking!

What sort of prices are used BadAss bridges going for?

Ah, I see that they have different user ID's and they are in different locations, which would indicate a couple of hacked accounts. Could also be someone using a copy of the image? Looking at the use ID's I'd bet that the plonkers who have been hacked (if that is the case) will have used their username as their password; I say that because I had reservations a couple of years ago about someone selling dodgy bass gear on ebay and the username appeared a bit random. For an experiment I attempted to log in using their username and the same for the password... straight into their account, which I assume the hacker had done. Some folks can be dim!

He's demanding that bidders contact him 'prior' to placing a bid (which isn't allowed under ebay T&C) in order to try and flog that system or possibly multiple identical systems; thus avoiding ebay fees. I've reported him for such but I doubt that they'll do anything... think I'll now place a bid without contacting him first!
