    [quote name='Marcus' post='661091' date='Nov 21 2009, 03:29 PM']ha ha.....very shakepearian !! Tennis is going great...... lost 3 stone !!! made the tennis easier - LOL ATB Mark[/quote] Is that 3 stone or 3 'stones' as in half bricks in your pockets? Either way that's some going mate, good on ya! Watch it though, when you get down to racing snake size like me you'll be needing lightweight gear. Catch you around soon.

    [quote name='eubassix' post='659991' date='Nov 20 2009, 11:23 AM']Further update (see post #4 above) - received a message from OP/seller to say that it was genuine mistake on his part adn that the string/refund would be posted 4th October during a Uni lunch break ........ guess what (... and I'm still waiting, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah....)...45 day since the last promise and about 5.5 months since I paid.[/quote] Tw4ts trick that Dave! If I don't source a single G string soon, I've got a brand new (never on a bass) E A & D string from a LaBella Deep Talkin set you can have for a tenner if they are any good to you (long story but I snapped the G string... twice!).

    Looking at the way he's constantly flexing his fingers/hand, he's either suffering from over playing or over egging the fact he's about to play fast. Not big and not clever to be that uncomfortable!

    [quote name='Johngh' post='660677' date='Nov 21 2009, 12:06 AM']Lets face it, down at the Dog and Duck on a Saturday night with all the bladdered punters shouting and balling over the band you would never be able to tell the difference in sound between this one and a stock MM Jazz.[/quote] Lets be honest most of the punters down the local couldn't tell the difference (audible or visual) between a Fender and a Gibson, never mind a Masterbuild and an off the shelf MM.

    [quote name='Sibob' post='660522' date='Nov 20 2009, 08:29 PM']Surely this also includes similar 'builders' such as Lakland that, although using great woods, are just mass produced bodies being 'screwed together' And if we assume that master builders at Fender are making the basses by hand then 'screwing them together', then guys like Coppola are charging the same amount of money for the same prank . Si[/quote] Agreed!

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='660383' date='Nov 20 2009, 05:35 PM']i wonder how good a jazz bass mr shuker or some other respected luthier would be able to make for that much?[/quote] Problem is that the best bass that a very good/brilliant luthier could make would still cost a lot less than this and they'd not be able to justify a higher price tag. HOWEVER because this 'is' Fender Masterbuild then they can charge wtf they like. Truth be told Fender couldn't possibly justify that price tag for the component parts, even inc' the wages for a Master [s]Screwer-together[/s] I mean builder. but as long as there is demand there will be supply at these prices.

    [quote name='thedonutman' post='659777' date='Nov 19 2009, 11:45 PM']... although the preamp didn't seem to do a huge amount.[/quote] I don't know the new range, especially the BO models very well but do they have the active/passive, push/pull pot on the volume control? If so, try giving it a push/pull just to ensure it isn't in passive mode whereby the tone controls do nowt! Oh and a big +1 to what 'tnit' ^ said.

    [quote name='Brother Jones' post='659543' date='Nov 19 2009, 07:29 PM']Before I managed to find a Sonus on here a couple of years ago, I asked the Gallery for a quote on a new one with exactly the same spec as this. The quoted price was getting on for £2,500. Can't recommend these enough. The necks are amazing - the graphite means the action can get vanishingly low. They're very light and balance really well. They're also very 'unclicky' for a graphite necked bass with a very rich, woody sound. Believe me John, if I had the cash...[/quote] Thanks for the plaudits and I have to agree if you've been put off by graphite necks in the past because they are too 'lively', then this is the bass to convert you. [quote name='Schnozzalee' post='659554' date='Nov 19 2009, 07:38 PM']Thats a cracking price! Oh no way, thats you!! I thought it was Mark Wahlberg with long hair haha (no offence intended). This should be gone very soon.[/quote] Must research M Wahlberg and hereby reserve the right to thank you or call you a twazzer! Oh and if the bass isn't gone very soon I may decide I'm in no hurry to let it go... especially as my Sadowsky is now all but sold!

    [quote name='XB26354' post='659515' date='Nov 19 2009, 07:01 PM']You'd also have to ask what happened to the bass to get that kind of damage...[/quote] Likely as not propped against a table/chair/amp and then a slow languid fall sideways whilst owner only has time to think "Argh F*CK! Why didn't I spend £15 on a guitar stand'!

    Looks a shabby repair to me (and would the tattoo have been reapplied i.e. non-original) and as I know HJ is looking for an unmolested version... possibly not the best idea. HJ'd end up hating this as it will significantly affect it's long term value as an investment piece! Just my take.

    [quote name='JTUK' post='658883' date='Nov 19 2009, 08:52 AM']I am looking forward to pairing up two Ag12's if they sound significantly better that a single. I am happy enough sound-wise with just the one but the gains of having two seems a win-win...plus they both go in my car boot...so a win again..!!![/quote] Honestly you'll be amazed at the difference; greater than the sum of the parts. I'm sure Alex, Bill et al will be able to give the science behind it!

    [quote name='giblett123' post='658849' date='Nov 19 2009, 06:33 AM']I've got one & it's the only bass I've kept! a great instrument with top build & it sounds absolutely stunning. This is also a very decent price for one of these, well worth a punt![/quote] Many thanks for the kind (but true) words. I'm waiting to hold a conversation with someone re. buying this... might be better if someone got in quick BEFORE it's replacement is delivered otherwise I might change my mind!

    Some numpties that I flagged up with a wrong image a couple of weeks ago (Musicman & Rickie combo of description and pic). I wonder of they are deliberately putting up shonky listings in the hope they scr5w someone or are they just sh1t at listing stuff. Oh and I also queried if there was a member of staff on BC as the listing got changed sharpish when I flagged it up?

    [quote name='chris_b' post='657966' date='Nov 18 2009, 11:53 AM']Why don't you take the TF and one cab or just the TF? If you're looking for on stage monitoring in conjunction with FOH then this amp and its DI won't be beaten. I recently did some recording and used the TF DI post EQ with my usual flat-ish live setting. The engineer said it was the best bass sound he'd heard coming into the desk for years.[/quote] It's all about portability and compromise. I never gig with just one cab even if I am going to use the PA so it's a case of 2 Aggies and a TF or a combo with the same speaker displacement but the weight of just ONE Aggie cab! Odd though it may seem these Aggie cabs when combined have a resulting tone greater than the individual parts.

    [quote name='alanbass1' post='657787' date='Nov 18 2009, 07:45 AM']This is indeed a nice bass which I traded with Beedster. I purchased this new from the Bass Gallery in April this year so it is only 7 months old from the first purchase.[/quote] Excellent, we now have full provenance!

    [quote name='Oldman' post='657780' date='Nov 18 2009, 07:10 AM']I have an immaculate AER Amp 1 Combo and a Roland Sub would you trade your rig for my Rig? Oldman[/quote] Sorry, as stated above I have a replacement gig rig already in possession.

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='657657' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:36 PM']Very nice bit of kit, good luck. If I didnt own too much Id be interested in the 1x12s. You opting for the Tecamp combo?[/quote] 'If' the Tecamp does it live for me with PA support then yes BUT if it doesn't equal this rig then the Tecamp goes the journey and I stay with this. House and rehearsal volumes the Tecamp is fine but live is where it matters for me. [quote name='uzzell' post='657667' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:51 PM']I appreciate that you would prefere a combined sale but how much would you take for the cabs if you were to split?[/quote] 'If' I split I'd want whatever the going rate is for these cabs in mint condition with covers.

    [quote name='JTUK' post='657748' date='Nov 18 2009, 01:17 AM']P.S. I alway think the passive/active thing on a bass is a get out of jail thing...in that it will still work with the battery flat. This is useful on an active bass, but you wouldn't want to swap around otherwise, IMV[/quote] A popular misconception about Warwick basses! The active/passive push/pull pot only helps in the event of a dead battery on the basses equipped with the $$ system. The active Streamers, Dolphins, Corvettes etc. are not truly passive in 'passive' mode. To test; remove the battery from one of those basses and you get nothing, nada, zilch, they don't work. They require battery juice for the actual pup as well as the preamp EQ.

    [s]Not 'absolutely' certain that this is definitely going but I'm running through a PA with bass bins now so I don't 'need' a rig that can fill a pub room with low end, hence my buying a 300w combo and selling this.[/s] Or NOT as the case may be! I'd kick myself if I got rid of this rig... no matter how much more convenient a 2x12 combo would be. Now if TF did a 2x12 neo combo!

    [quote name='phsycoandy' post='657510' date='Nov 17 2009, 09:33 PM']Me likey, and would if I hadnt just bought one, Great band leading basses. Buy it![/quote] Cheers Andy, glad you got sorted. [quote name='Beedster' post='657514' date='Nov 17 2009, 09:38 PM']This is an awesome bass, really. I sold this to John at a time when I was moving to fretless. I'd considered defretting it and decided against, hence the sale. It's a truly stunning bass and I'm very tempted to buy it back and do the defret. I might be in touch John Chris[/quote] Ditto Chris... I hope I don't regret this! [quote name='captain black' post='657611' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:03 PM']Really tempted to say I'm interested and can afford this so I can come along and have a go. Think it's my ideal bass. Sadly that would just be p@@sing you about. I'd have to selll the kids to afford this. Good luck with the sale.[/quote] Kids... sell one! costs nowt to knock another one out! (I jest of course) [quote name='Musicman20' post='657616' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:08 PM']Stunning...tempted far too much[/quote] Make it quick before people convince me otherwise.
