[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1326561403' post='1498901'] Did you sort a piezo for the Parker Fly, WH? [/quote] The guy sorting it did. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1326561564' post='1498905'] What, as in think you will have to wait till then before the secondhand prices are above that of a new mexican fender? [/quote] [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1326561564' post='1498905'] I'm guessing it's .... must be an infinity unless you sold them both? [/quote] Correct. The 'new' one, 1991 bass that has never been gigged and is in museum quality condition.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1326560967' post='1498892'] Jon! there's as many sterlings there as there are warwicks! (but glad to see old red still there) [/quote] I have another Warwick tucked under the bed as my pension! LOL

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1326559211' post='1498870'] difficult to say...i may drop them a line and let them know. [/quote] That would certainly clarify it for a potential buyer if not for us!

[quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1326559316' post='1498871'] I'm in love with that! What a great sound - [/quote] Cheers but it is literally through a pants camera mic, with the bass going through my Tech 21 guitar combo, the bass sounds better through a proper bass rig and in the flesh.

[quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1326557953' post='1498849'] Looking good. what's the sound of a Bolin like? Any sound clips/youtube links you can point me to? [/quote] I was messing about trying a camera out so there is a small clip here but not truly representative. It sounds great fingerstyle, very open and responsive but it will NOT do slap!

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1326555386' post='1498793'] that's an EMC (european music company ?) pickup... i think tanglewood are part of the EMC stable. edit: looks like an similar pickup on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/73418-tanglewood-warroior-ii-vintage-bass/"]this thread[/url] [/quote] Well spotted but the seller does clearly state 'EMG' in the title and in the listing. An oversight or hoping to catch the unwary/stupid?

[IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/IMG_0071.jpg[/IMG] I sold my Zon Sonus and felt compelled to replace it... with two basses. The 'Jaffa Cake' Bolin is new and delivered from the States last week... 4 years after I bought the green one from the very same guy! The lighter coloured Sterling (white plate) is a return of an old flame; Rita!

Do EMG do a pick-up that has the legend 'EMG ELECTRONIC' stencilled on the outside like this? [b] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190627740564?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1202"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190627740564?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1202[/url][/b] Added to which it looks very crude underneath (just a pair of Jazz pups in a MM casing though the top shows the 4 large pole magnets) and certainly the wiring/soldering looks a tad shoddy for EMG! I could be wrong but it just doesn't seem like an EMG product.

As much power as you can afford with more inputs than you 'think' you need! Try and source a set of Peavey Hisys cabs (the 15" Black Widow equipped should be in your price bracket). We had a set and gigged pubs with them for 15 years without ever blowing a speaker (though a few Hisys had blown horns in the early days they were generally sorted under warranty), sold our cabs last year for £100 to a local DJ and they are still going strong despite being used 5 nights a week since I sold them!

If you want a 34" scale bass then it's worth looking at the Aria Sinsonidia (easily within budget used). With the 'wings' removed it is essentially a stick bass but the 'wings' are easily stored and fitted to make it more conventional for comfort and it has the added bonus of working with headphones (even some active basses don't have enough clout to drive headphones)... and most importantly, they sound bliddy good!

Hmmm! Aside from the unscientific approach to the demo of the 'cab' abilities, I'm just overall not sure of the validity of the demo tbh. We are hearing a £2000+ amp and £3000 bass (with whatever effects/outboard that is adding the reverb; not mentioned in the demo) through the cab so they've ensured that you have a quality input and the fact that when he is playing I can hear the camera mic picking up finger noise... at that kind of volume I'd not expect the drivers to be complaining or farting, so not really a good demo of the cabs ability to handle low end or power!

Contact 'The Bass Doctor' he has some lovely tort guards (look vintage colour not like the horrible salami coloured ones). He has all the appropriate templates so no need to worry about fit!

[quote name='christhammer666' timestamp='1326312074' post='1495398'] hi guys i love playing bass but most theory goes way over my head.4ths 5ths ect leaves my bamboozled. my question is do you really need a vast knowledge of theory to enjoy music my band has a cd out althought not ground breaking i have always just played by ear and play what sounds good to me. I wouldnt know if i was playing bass chords or just playing with myself. i suppose im just insecure in the fact that if i dont know every bit of theory going ill never make it as a decent bass player my 2 favourite bassists are john myung who knows the bass inside out and the other is steve harris who even though is an absolute monster on the bass would admit to not having much knowledge of theory id love to here some of your opinions jamie [/quote] You don't 'need' music theory to enjoy music or to play bass but having some music theory can do you absolutely no harm, so it is a no-brainer not to! To say that Steve Harris hasn't much knowledge of music theory is probably doing him a MASSIVE disservice, I bet he knows a damn sight more than you think. As to learning basic stuff like what 4th and 5ths are, it is literally a 15 minute lesson... so long as you had the 15 minute lesson before that one explaining what major and minor scales were!

Renowned piece of 'chocolate fireguard' design!

I think these were Korean made and retailed on-line by MusicYo but there are a few variations of this bass inc a USA pre-Gibson (a Tobias fan might be able to tell the various models and vintages apart but if it was sold as a Toby Pro 4 then I'd say that's your model) so you'd need to be sure before you started being emphatic about what you were selling because it has a massive impact on value! Use the search facility and you'll find that there are quite a few Toby Pro 4s have been up for sale, though you might need to take a seat when you see the prices especially if you were hoping to make back what your mate paid for it because they tend to be around the £250-£275 mark with one being as cheap as £150.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1326135194' post='1492779'] The workshop [/quote] DOH! Pet hate that, tell him to get some bliddy guitar hangers on the wall or at least invest in some kind of rack or guitar stands!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1326060849' post='1491859'] that get sorted yet? [/quote] I'll simply say that at least dialogue is opened and the bass is with a respected luthier! I've not started naming and shaming because I am well aware that mistakes and circumstances can happen; I'm giving my seller the benefit of the doubt just as he is giving me the benefit of the doubt (somewhere between him selling it and me buying it, these issues have occurred but 'blame' is a difficult thing to pin down)! The measure of a good seller is rectifying or remedying problems after all it doesn't take a great seller to simply take your money and send you a perfect item, a 'good' seller is one who sorts out issues or makes sure that there are no issues by going above and beyond simply putting a bass in a case and posting it.
