There's one for sale here: [url="http://www.thelittleguitarshop.com/Bass.html"]http://www.thelittleguitarshop.com/Bass.html[/url] (scroll down half way, black T-40) for £595, he is dreaming and I know he's had it for sale for at least 12 months.

£350-£450 depending on condition. Mine is all original with OHSC and was £450. I was going to sell mine a few months ago in a moment of temporary insanity, it's not going to get sold by me unless the price really goes up. They are in my opinion under priced compared to other basses from the era.

Wouldn't there be an issue with the red silk possibly passing the nut ? Sounds kinky.

I'd heard the similar about stocking a large range too, but that was a fair few years ago. If the above info were the case, i'd expect to see a reasonable range in the bigger shops but last time I saw a new Warwick for sale was Sound Control Salford in 2005. They had about 40 (really), maybe that's why they went under.

I picked it up in WHSmith, flicked through for 15 seconds and put it back. All review items seem to come from the same few places now. Bass Direct, Bass Gear supplied items are very common now.

So they've cut production costs significantly but not passed any savings to the buyer ? Hmmm, don't think I'd pay £1k for a MIM whatever the quality as I'd know how much they're making on it. Still want one though .

Nice mixture there. Love the colour of the 4003.

Email Ashdown tech and ask them: [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/tech/tech_service.asp"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/tech/tech_service.asp[/url]

Maybe ask if they intended for the designs of both the 40/60 to be as versatile as they are. Were they made on purpose to emulate certain other instruments or is it just a side effect of the specification ?

I have 2 guitars and a keyboard for a change of scenery every few weeks. When I come back to bass its like home again.

Me and my BB614 from 2007.

Me and dood are also guitar fans so we'll be involved in the inception and admin side of things.

I think the fundamental is key. If its your 5th fret G you might get it on 10th D but not 15th A.

It'll be your temporary internet files.

I bet if you tune the string a semitone flat the dead spot moves up the board. Its the resonant frequency the wood cancels out. Give it a try.

That's cheered my lunchtime up.

where is your settee ?!

Look at my avatar. That's how I roll.

Failure to comply will result in a very nasty out come for the perp.

I'm afraid I agree with a lot of people here. It doesn't matter if you find something that ticks every box you have, you'll doubtlessly tire of it eventually and sell it to get something else. If it helps - I went through a similar phase where whatever I had I wanted something else, I solved this by downgrading from an expensive custom bass (Overwater Progress III) and bought 2 cheaper, but more diverse basses (G&L L2000 & Peavey T-40). There is nothing that at least one of these cannot do. If I get bored of one I play the other for a while, when I go back to the first it's like a new bass again. I'm happier than I have been for years and have no desire for either of them to be replaced.

Oh my god. I just did a little wee when I saw this...

It took 8 years of playing till I tried one. Then it was through an Ampeg SVT with an 810. Craziness ensued.
