It's meant to sound like an MOT and imply reliability and responsible ownership.

This is as close as I could get but not 35" http://www.warwick.de/en/Warwick---Products--Instruments--Customshop--Basic-Bass-Models--Signature-Models--P-Nut-III-Signature--5-string--Pictures.html

There is no real point of perfection. The fun is in the chase etc. I've recently bought something that filled a gap I created in my own mind and all gaps are filled now, won't stop me thinking of something else I don't need when I listen to a new band etc.

I generally use my B3 as a headphone preamp/drum machine/looper for home practice and had it 3 years. I'll use it for recording too once I sort myself out.

Ok first off I couldn't be bothered to cart them all downstairs. The ATK and RBX wouldn't fit either. My second point is I did not choose the pattern on the linen. That is all. [attachment=224702:IMG_20160726_215243.jpg]

Update - I showed it to my Dad yesterday who is a guitar collector (can't play much now due to arthritis). He asked me how a cheap far east bass could cost so much and no pro players would use one. Then I showed him a pic of Dave Swift playing the exact same model

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1469808793' post='3101261'] Upset you couldn't get one? [/quote] I actually just laughed out loud. I'm not onboard the hype train I'm afraid.

But there are people like this who are real, that's the real tragedy.

I was going to read the T&Cs, then remembered I wrote them lol

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1469798270' post='3101134'] Unapproved the last few comments as we don't allow valuations on the site I'm afraid [/quote] When people sell their basses are they not putting a valuation on it?

fad noun an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived; a craze. "some regard green politics as no more than the latest fad"

[quote name='wishface' timestamp='1469740390' post='3100831'] What? [/quote] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

[quote name='wishface' timestamp='1469733034' post='3100770'] Not sure what you're referring to. The Yamaha bass was local. [/quote] Ok I get it now. You're trolling us.

If you can't get what you want locally then you're going to have to buy online and return if you don't like it. You are entitled to under the Distance Selling Act.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1469688325' post='3100257'] For all you patient souls who have tried and are very obviously becoming frustrated, perhaps it's time to give it up. [/quote] No, I feel morally obliged to advise the OP on his errors.

[quote name='wishface' timestamp='1469659341' post='3100198'] You can't possible guarantee what a bass would sell for second hand so you need to stop with that. You also need to stop with accusations of time wasting. This is getting nasty and I will not tolerate this. Nor will I tolerate questions about my age. If people can't be civil....well, there's the door. [/quote] Wow you're very sensitive aren't you. Where exactly did I query your age ? I can't guarantee anything of course but you asked for opinions. I've been playing 15 years and gone through over 30 basses. I was also a site admin here for 6 years and moderated the For Sale forum, so know very well what will sell again and how much it's worth. P.s. isn't it past your bed time ?!

And now if you don't buy it, based on the fact you liked it AND can get it cheap and be able to sell for the same price if you don't like it - you have been wasting both ours and your own time here.

I've only had to change the batteries maybe 2 or 3 times in 10 years but probably sold most basses before they beeded changing. All other times were out of the thought "it's been a while".

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1469636543' post='3099953'] Who cares if thats what you liked? [/quote] As i said before he is seeking peer confirmation. I don't think you should actually buy anything until you can make a decision for yourself.

The cable creates a circuit.

[quote name='wishface' timestamp='1469623946' post='3099806'] Just been to pmt and the music room on college green. Tried an sr370. Wasn't impressed. The pickups were to big to work with for resting thumb on when plucking and the harmonics wye pretty dead. The tone was decent but overall no deal. It didn't help that the dry up was terrible making a fair assessment impossible. I tried a226 quid Yamaha trbx30 in the music room which seemed is better, but I don't know anything about this bass. That really want much else with posting. I've alresfy tried the sub music man and that was all they had within my passive range. I didn't see the point of wasting time trying a bunch of expensive bases I can't afford [/quote] You can't afford it [i]today[/i], so save up if you find something you like.

It's generally not worth upgrading the pickups on a cheap bass unless you REALLY plan on keeping it, £150 of pickups in a £150 bass won't get you much of a price increase if you sell it, maybe £50 if you are lucky.
