  1. Bass 1 (the Richwood) sounds incredible to me, the warwick trumps it on slap tone but it would being 34" scale as you need the tension. I'm a fingerstyle player and I love that a lot!
  2. I dunno, if the action was low i'd probably be happy to pay £90, i'm sure its mint condition too. I have one exactly the same (although not professionally setup) and I think its fantastic quality for the price and i'd only upgrade for an American Standard and skip everything in between. I've switched to guitar now but when I fill in on bass (after owning 20 odd at anything from £100 to £2600) the Ryder and my Roland Cube30 does everything I want at band practice. Skims £100 off a beginner bass without setup too! EDIT: I understand the scepticism on these basses too as I wasn't convinced by the Squier Classic Vibes being made out of Basswood (even though their massive praise!!) so when these were found out to be Alder I jumped on it.
  3. Best relic i've seen i think
  4. Oof bit pretty! I'm outta luck too Charvel are my number one guitar co.
  5. [quote name='cameltoe' post='1163740' date='Mar 15 2011, 09:33 PM']Dude! That's just unnecessary! I'm off to bleach my eyeballs. Bump.[/quote] Hahaha thought you might like that! BUMP!
  6. Love the thicker necks on these, great for fiddly chords!! I have tiny hands and 50's style bass/guitar necks are so much more comfortable, I've had a jazz bass and an Ibanez Wizard neck and I was forever tripping over my own fingers and getting cramp. I think the bigger necks sustain better but thats only from my experience!
  7. I think they look uuuuuugly!! And not in a good way (I usually go for ugly unusual stuff eg. Kubicki etc) but I don't doubt for a second that they're sh*t-hot on playability/build and tone. I think an entirely chrome one would definately look better, although i do kinda like Big RedX's...Big Red one...
  8. Somebody buy this please, I canni as I only have trade fodder
  9. I hate Matt black anything but the one above looks fine with the Pickguard. I love the sound of Gibson Basses just the balance issues/ 3 point bridge are a hassle to resolve, but I still prefer the tone over a fender - even though i'm a P fan flatwound eb3's are incredible sounding basses second to none (IMO!)
  10. Wow thats beautiful Cocco!! EDIT: Set of Dimarzio Ultra Jazzes!
  11. Marleaux basses, weigh nothing and I always have back problems. I was comfortable with an EB3 and a Kubicki also but the Marleaux was by far the nicest bass i've EVER had
  12. This looks so cool, the neck looks all played in and lovely
  13. [quote name='mcgraham' post='1165618' date='Mar 17 2011, 12:05 PM']Have you checked out the Blackstar 1W series? Ideal for home practice and great tone. Also only around £100, so you could get away with keeping both the guitars.[/quote] Ooo thankyou I hadn't seen one of those!! I'm glad I didn't buy one of those Vox headphone plugins!! I will be getting one of those in the near future and i'm aiming to get an amp towards 30-50w in the distant future for band practice. Unfortunately I was planning to fund myself with a Government Grant on my PGCE teaching course next year but as those have now gone i've gotta push for a sale on both and keep my fingers crossed I can keep my Charvel!
  14. [quote name='mcgraham' post='1163661' date='Mar 15 2011, 08:45 PM']Sweeeeet....[/quote] Thank you , tis indeedy! But I don't have an amplifier to play it through . I've been going to my guitarist friends house to play it through a Fender Champ XD and a Blackstar HT40 and it sounds fab but the reason for the sale is so I can get my own! Neither the G&L or the ESP have any issues - just desperately need an amp!

  16. USA G&L Legacy with Matching Headstock, Branded Gigbag and Certificate of Authenticity signed by Leo Fender's wife Phyllis. (Mint condition). Pictures: [url="http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/Schnozzalee/Music%20Gear/"]http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/S...e/Music%20Gear/[/url] This guitar was imported from the US at the price of £1400, it has a tangerine red finish and a creamy tobacco pickguard, pickups and toggles to give it a real vintage vibe. The guitar has been setup for use without the tremolo thereby adding sustain. The guitar can do the vintage strat sound but it can also do meaty and won't sound as thin/glassy when its clean if you make use of the tone control. I will include a new set of Ernie Ball Regular 10 gauge strings upon sale. Here are a couple of Vids, you can see a left handed version of mine in the rack on the first video: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw0ILsoH-aE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw0ILsoH-aE[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X38MYMD2fiQ&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X38MYMD2fiQ...feature=related[/url] Specifications: PICKUPS 3 G&L vintage style Alnico V single coil pickups BODY WOOD Alder on Standard and all solid finishes, Swamp Ash on all Premier finishes NECK WOOD Hard Rock Maple with Rosewood or Maple fingerboard NECK RADIUS 12" (304.8mm) NECK WIDTH AT NUT 1 5/8" (41.3mm) TUNING KEYS 12:1 ratio, sealed lubrication, adjustable knob tension BRIDGE G&L Dual Fulcrum vibrato with chrome-plated brass saddles CONTROLS 5 position pickup selector, PTB system FINISH Standard finishes included OTHER Chrome Hardware; 3-ply White pickguard; Deluxe Hardshell Tolex Case w/Fitted Interior
  17. Up for sale is my as new polished and lemon oiled ESP PC-2V doublecut, the best of the Xtone series. In a nut shell its a Gibson esque spec ES 335 meets les paul with licensed bigsby bar with the stock pickups from the 'Slash' Gibson Les Paul custom. So anything goes from Jazz to Metal. He's been professionally setup too and has all the shredding capability of an ESPneck with only slightly unorthodox looks and vintage tones. This cost me £950 on the high street (pre-setup) and was the best of 3 I tried Extras are: Schaller Straplocks, Jonathon Edwards Leathercraft Brass Buckle Custom Strap Shubb Capo I could add a Line 6 Tone Core Overdrive pedal which is new if collected, don't think it will fit in the box!!

  19. If this was a four i'd be going crazy for it, its a fantastic bit of quality for the money
  20. PMs replied! Thankyou but I'm not interested in bass trades anymore i'm afraid - cash or Guitar Valve Amplication please
  21. Welcome to come try him out if you bring a mini practice amp, i'm not lying when i say its as good as a Gibson
  22. [quote name='dlloyd' post='1156333' date='Mar 10 2011, 10:27 AM']All of them... but the one that I really, really regret was this one... It's a hand-made Le Voi. I sold it for £1,000 which is a fraction of what it's worth. I've never played anything that could touch it. What a dumb ass.[/quote] !!!Always wanted one of these!!!
