    [quote name='Machines' post='1205702' date='Apr 20 2011, 12:26 PM']Yeah, I want something from 1983 - but what was actually good back then ? It certainly isn't Fenders.[/quote] The first Warwicks? Get them while they're still cheap!

    Strange that Fender only fitted part of the transfer to the headstock, is that normal for painted/matched headstocks?

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1205483' date='Apr 20 2011, 08:26 AM']I probably am a bit anal about my gear, someone else may have been perfectly happy with it.[/quote] I think you did the right thing Al, it's what I'd have done. However, as you say someone else may have been happy with a few marks especially if the price was very keen... maybe someone should phone up and ask if they have any ex-demo PJB gear at a decent knock down price (possibly offering even less than you paid)!

    [quote name='Muzz' post='1205487' date='Apr 20 2011, 08:31 AM']... it'd be nice to see Fender create a bass with the feel of a Roadworn, without the hokey damage. Now that'd sell.[/quote] That begs the question; 'why do Fender sell basses that don't feel as good as the Roadworn'? Shouldn't all Fender basses feel as good and what is it that makes them 'feel' a better bass? Other than the rolled/worn fingerboard edges what is it that makes the Roadworns better than many other Fender models. Ultimately they'd have been screwed together in the same factory by the same workers as all of the other MIM basses.

    [quote name='Ian Savage' post='1204933' date='Apr 19 2011, 04:51 PM']Colour me very interested, whereabouts are you and how much do you think it'd cost to post 'em? EDIT: hang on a minute, is the shape of the cab like this: or like this ?[/quote] This! ...so long as 'this' is Trapezoid shaped! They aren't your usual cuboid/rectangular shape they are wider at the front than back so that when put on their side on the floor they naturally tilt back and fire up.

    I think an amp bought new should be 'new', no debating that. However, it poses an odd dilemma which I've considered a few times... many folk on here wouldn't buy a new bass without trying it first, yet if a shop lets you try all of the various Fender Jazz basses that they have in stock, are those basses not now ex-demo? I'm not talking about something taken out of the box and checked over once by the staff but any new bass out on display is by definition ex-demo yet if you like THAT bass you may not be guaranteed that the bass in the stock room will be nearly as good; do you ask for a discount on the one that you prefer because it is on display? Does that make sense?

    [quote name='endorka' post='1204625' date='Apr 19 2011, 12:03 PM']Is there any structural or functional purpose to a singlecut, or is it just a cosmetic thing? Jennifer[/quote] I believe the theory is that neck/body vibration transmission is enhanced... something like that any way!
  14. warwickhunt
    These have literally never been used, the paper info hasn't even been taken off the grill and they would make an ideal little vocal PA or as a pair of monitors (shape means they can be tipped on the side and angled), any visible marks are just dust or cobwebs, no scuffs, dinks or chunks missing. 300w RMS (each), 16.5kg, Pole Mount, Speak-on connection. £120 +delivery

    This was originally a 2x12 Tech combo with the head section removed (still has the built in space to put a 2U amp or rack effects), the 2nd 12" driver is on an angled baffle board as per the Schroeder cabs (iirc Tech predates the Schroeder). 300w with variable tweeter attenuator which gives different sounds as per the companies newer range (Tecamp... yes same company). Drivers are the original line and aren't showing any signs of being stressed. The cab fur is a bit ratty and there's one cigarette burn (which dates this cab back to before the smoking ban ) and I'm about to get the hot glue gun out and stick back down some of the covering that is starting to lift inside the rack space. It has an extendable speaker lead which is presently fitted with a Speak-on and this can extend to about .5m or more if you sit your amp on the top. I've been using the cab as a rehearsal cab but as I've just bought back my old H&K BC210 cab for that purpose, this is redundant. Dimensions; 54x40x48 Weight 27kg £195 (+delivery) ono

    Scuffed and a bit tatty but structurally solid. However, one of the butterfly catches can twist itself loose but a piece of elastic around it would prevent it. £20 +delivery
  17. warwickhunt
    This was/is used to house a 2x10 H&K bass cab (custom made for it), I'm likely keeping the cab but the flightcase makes the whole thing far too heavy. It is fully foam lined and the dimensions given are the external ones, I can measure the actual cab dimensions when I get back to work but it'll be after the Easter. Obviously it wouldn't take much to pad the interior out with more foam to protect your pride and joy. There are 4 big chunky butterfly clips closing it, all fully functional. It isn't mint condition but neither is it trashed. I'd be able to send it by courier but I'd not box it up, just send as is (£15 delivery). £30 collected / £45 delivered

    I'll take the W bridge assembly off you Howie, be in touch soon re. good day/time to collect.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1204408' date='Apr 19 2011, 08:25 AM']Y'know, looking back through this thread, the haters can say what they like but the truth remains - IMO, these look bloody lovely.[/quote] I agree! It is very odd that the red basses have no channel cut to the neck pup but the sunburst does... am I reading that correct?

    [quote name='REDLAWMAN' post='1188794' date='Apr 5 2011, 11:36 AM']Sorry patpablo, but I'm not and cheers, badboy. I'm not really in any kind of rush to sell, but it's been put away safely for when someone does fancy it. Incidentally, the shop offered £900.[/quote] If the shop offered you £900 that's a cracking offer!

    Wish I was 2 years younger then I could get in on this latest YOB craze! Actually... wish I was 20 years younger and I wouldn't be so wrecked!

    [quote name='AndyTravis' post='1203573' date='Apr 18 2011, 01:37 PM']I've seen stripped Fenders from a similar era with odd joins, but this looks like a factory natural finish...odd choice of join is odd. I'm not sure £1975 is the right price point either.[/quote] You only have to know a bit of previous history with the seller to realise that their take on value can be very different to that of (virtually) everyone else!

    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1203497' date='Apr 18 2011, 12:31 PM']This one should be worth a fortune then. [/quote] I should have clarified '...of the basses that are made from multiple pieces of wood'.
  24. warwickhunt
    This particular bass came up in another thread but on examination I thought it raised a serious question; was this a conscious effort to save wood or was the bass constructed on a Friday afternoon shift? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-1976-American-Jazz-Bass-Guitar-Natural-Ash-M-N-/250766618313?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a62daeec9"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-1976-American...=item3a62daeec9[/url] I have to say that the 70's must have been a rough period for Fender when they don't even joint the wood parallel with the neck. I realise that it shouldn't have any affect to the tone whether it is parallel or offset but every bass (copy or genuine) I've ever encountered in the past has been parallel jointed in roughly regular sections (2-5 pieces depending on manufacturer/period). I could understand if the lower piece was jointed so that the lower offset bout could be added without the need to waste wood but the bottom section actually carries over to the bottom lower horn!
