Nice 'liitle' trace stack here... if it all works well it' a bit of a bargain! And a rare power amp to boot. https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/classic-trace-elliot-bass-stack/1285063183

I imagine it would! Let's make a pact... if I win the lottery I'll buy us both our dream basses, if you win then the basses are on you!

At the moment I can't justify a £15,000 outlay, but there is no other bass that I have my sights on than this particular custom SC7. There just isn't a suitable alternative to what I want!

I already have a 9 string ACG, to be honest I don't it's possible to build a better ACG than the one I have so I'm covered on the ACG front! It is indeed very specifically a Warwick SC7 I want...

I've not had any issues with contact, had a nice back and forth with Hans P Wilfer, always seems to respond within a few hours. The quote came back from their build master at the custom shop... I died a little when I read the number... €16,093. (£15,000ish) Either I need to sell the vaste majority of my collection (which would of been the idea) or my requested spec needs a re-think! It would be a truly outstanding and totally unique instrument if built...

Which of course makes a single string worth £250 odd.

They did have the option of 'buy 3 and get 5% off the 4th', that changes everything!

Bargain... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F132287421259

Morning all, I'm debating placing and order with Warwick's Custom Shop, has anyone on here ordered a bass directly though Warwick's custom shop? I've had a bit of experiance with Warwick and they always seem very helpful and quick to respond, just interested to know if anyone has had a bass made for them through their custom shop and how they felt the process went. Feel free to share a picture of the bass you ordered too! If it's of interest my order would be for a 7 string Single Cut Thumb with a few extra bells and whistles and some quite fancy exotic woods (got a small handful in mind!). Ta, Russ.

To throw my hat in the ring I would say £800 is overpriced... GAK tend to (again in my opinion) overprice all of their second hand stock. For comparision I just picked up a 2001 German made 6 string bolt on Thumb bass for £860, you would be best having a hunt on the second hand market where you are buying direct from the previous owner and not a shop as a shop will always take a 20% (give or take) cut so you are paying at least that much more. Negotiating with the actual seller is always a better option!

After a discussion with the seller I would agree with Tony. The seller says The Bass Gallery set it up, which at least resulted in the bridge being levelled, but I think this is not one for the pros. If it was advertised for £200-300 I might take a punt but for me £550 is too much.

The bridge has been set up slightly better now it seems. Looks perfectly playable with the current set up, maybe the luither had a brain fact when installing the bridge hence selling it cheap-ish?

Someone wanted a thumb a bit too badly...

No, though I wouldn't be surprised if he owned it at one point!

Afternoon all! I've just acquired this rather lovely but 'pre-ampless' Sei Headless 6 string, looks like it' going to be an awesome bass once up and running... What's the opinion of which pre-amp would be a good addition to this beast? I'm currently thinking a Noll 3 band but open to suggestions and opinions! Cheers, Russ.
