  1. I just bought one of these today in black. Should arrive next week - if this had have been black I'd have had it off you.
  2. Nice bass and nice playing on the youtube clip. Reminds me of when I was at school in the early 80s and we had a history teacher who we nicknamed "beanhead" and we used to sing the chorus to Beat It but change the words to "Beanhead". Cruel I know but I've never seen a bloke go into a rage like he did when the whole class used to sing it to him.
  3. I wonder if the Germans pronounce Warwick "Var-Vick" ? Personally I think the Koreans don't make bad guitars at all and there's a lot of snobbishness surrounding country of manufacture when it comes to guitars and basses.
  4. Musicman Sub, Sterling Ray34 + cash from me Possibly a Jazz bass of some description but I'd prefer the Sub or the Ray
  5. Sorry mate, not really my thing to be honest.
  6. Really nice, one of the nicest on a 5-string that I've tried as it goes. Very comfortable indeed.
  7. I'm selling my Spector 5 String Custom Legend in slate grey. specs are: Basswood body with figured maple top Spector NS curved body shape Thru-neck construction 3-piece maple neck 34" scale Rosewood fingerboard 24 frets Black hardware EMG-HZ passive humbuckers Two volume controls EMG 3-band active tone controls Appearance is very similar to this.. Same as the one on the extreme left. Very good condition, it has a slight problem with the jack plug in the there appears to be a loose connection. Sounds fine but appeasrs slightly loose when jack plug is plugged in. I'm looking for £225
  8. Any news on these basses yet ?
  9. [url="http://probass.co.uk/Home.html"]http://probass.co.uk/Home.html[/url] I must admit some of them look top drawer. I"m a bit confused about the set neck construction on some of them though
  10. Its LTD so not really ESP - the real ESPs are made in Japan. This is probably no different to any mid-spec Korean / far-eastern bass
  11. [quote name='Clarky' post='835867' date='May 13 2010, 08:14 AM']Thanks chaps. I was thinking of experimenting with some TI Flats but the neck is not set up for these (and the truss rod adjustment tool I ordered on eBay has not yet arrived) - plus I wasn't sure flats would suit this bass. As Shaggy said, its quite dark sounding so I assume (perhaps incorrectly) rounds would be better.[/quote] You'd be right too. I had a Thunderbird and the only strings that worked for me on it was DR-Hi Beams. Its a dark sounding bass what with the all mahogany construction so the brighter the string the better IMO.
  12. [quote name='lateralus462' post='829153' date='May 5 2010, 11:30 PM']Ideally something les paulish but I'm fairly open to suggestions![/quote] What about something like this... I have a Washbirn Idol similar to this but its a solid black coloured body and the maple neck has got ebony inlays.
  13. What sort of guitar are you looking for ?
  14. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='826486' date='May 3 2010, 02:24 PM']I am being had a go at by a local promoter for raising money for H4H apparently it makes a nazi, who knew?[/quote] Ha ha! I know who you mean. We did a few gigs for H4H and he's tried to get a few of our gigs in Kent pulled too because apparently we're Nazis too. The bloke is a f***ing melt. He's pissed off a lot of people by doing this.
  15. Sounds great. Crap shape.
  16. Bump - £325. Need to offload this ! This is a serious bargain - it may not be mint but for the money you're getting: Nordstrand pickups Audere pre-amp Schaller Strap pins A superbly crafted made in Japan bass.
  17. Another bass of course! Being fit is overrated !!
  18. This bloke right here.....Geezer Butler.
  19. Bump for a soundclip. Funky stuff really isn't my thing but here goes. If anyone wants any metal / punk type clips I'd be happy to oblige.
  20. Just to confirm - this bass has Wizard Thumper pickups installed ? Will you post? If yes to both, I'll have it.
  21. Price drop to £350 - I must be mad. Would rather trade for a decent 4 string though. Would really prefer local collection on this one rather than postage.
  22. I've got 4 basses at the moment, two Trabens a Spector and this Yamaha. This gets the least amount of use since I got the Trabens. As we're doing some recordings in May we need a decent 4 string so I'm offering this Yamaha in part ex (cash either way) for a decent 4 string. Not interested in Fenders, I'm mainly after a Musicman Sub, a Traben Chaos 4-string, a decent Spector or a G&L. The Yamaha is in players condition. I bought this off a session musician who'd made some adjustments to it. Its got some issues which I'll outline here: 1) Some arse of a luthier drilled a hole for a new jack plug in the wrong place so there's a hole (see photos). 2) There's a few screw holes in the body where a thumb rest was fitted. 3) There's what looks like some glue marks on the pickups 4) There's a number of wear marks on the body - around the control knobs and round the heel of the body. 5) There's a small pick-guard that was attached by the previous owner as it helped with slapping according to him. I don't really use it for slap so couldn't tell you if it does or not! Its in player's condition but it does have the added bonus of having Nordstrand pickups and an Audere pre-amp which sounds the nuts. It plays superbly and has a fairly new set of DR Hi-Beams on it. Its also got Schaller Straplocks too. I've used it a few times at gigs, through an Ampeg SVT 5 and 8x10 and through a old H&H rig and it sounded equally as good through both. I'm really looking for trades on this but would be willing to sell for £[s]375[/s] ono £325. Also comes with Yamaha hard case.
  23. I recently bought a Peavey 6505+ head - if I'd have waited I'd have bitten your arm off for this. I've also got the Mk1 5150 Combo and it sounds the nuts. Good luck with the sale.
  24. I'd say that Trace Elliot amp, either valve or SS/vavle hybrid are amps you can just plug into and get a decent sound. I really like the sound of Trace Amps - especailly the older versions (pre-Gibson). I've played through an SVT 5 and Ampeg 8x10 and yes, the sound was huge - but this was an outdoor gig in front of 2000 people. I wouldn't want to be lugging that rig around for the average pub / club gig. Its just complete overkill.
