A chilled Sunday BUMP

[quote name='funkypenguin' post='963954' date='Sep 21 2010, 11:21 PM']Im stunned that you're selling this mate! have a bump on me![/quote] Yeah me too bud, bud I have really bad GAS for 2 amazing Dingwall basses and no matter how much I try and dismiss them, I can't. There is a part of me that is screaming no to this but every time I see the Dingwall's I just crumble. Hope you're well and speak to you soon. Take care and thanks

I am very, very reluctantly selling my treasured Yamaha TRB6p series 1 (2 truss rod version) bass - the original and best in my honest opinion. The only reason for this sale is that I have been having a clear out of all my gear in order to buy a Dingwall 6 string bass. I have found 2 that I am totally in love with and have raised a good amount of money but not all of it, therefore this has to go to finance my Dingwall purchase. Anyway, this is in absolutely beautiful condition. It has been set up professionally and has a neck and ebony board to die for. It is a Translucent Blue colour which are getting harder and harder to locate and has a sound that caters for all styles. Through my Sansamp and Hartke rig, this bass ROCKS!!! It comes with it's original, brown Yamaha case and is currently strung with LaBella Supersteps. The string spacing is 19mm and the scale length is 34" and weighs in at around 10lbs. It currently has strap locks on that I will include. I am looking for around £1000.00 for this beauty and will consider delivery but would prefer collection or a meet to hand over the bass. I am not looking for trades please. I have my heart set on a Dingwall bass. If you want to try it, then obviously not a problem. Thanks for your time and hopefully hear from someone soon. Grab a rare, beautiful bargain while you can. Take care. Cheers, Matt P.S. Here are the tech specs directly from Yamaha - Construction Neck-thru-Body Scale Length 33-7/8" (860mm) Neck Maple/ Mahogany Fingerboard Ebony Nut Width 2-3/16" (56mm) Radius 39" (1000mm) Frets 24 Body Figured Maple/ Rose/ Maple Bridge BPZ-6 (with Piezo) Pickups Single Coil x 2, Piezo Pickup Pickup Switch 2 Balancer Controls 5-Control System Hardware Gold Color Translucent Blue [u]Piezo Pickups in Solid Brass Bridge[/u] The piezo pickups used on the TRB models use individual bimorphous piezo elements for each string, all built into a specially designed bridge which is machined from solid brass. [u] Figured Maple Body with Thru-neck Construction[/u] The TRB-series basses feature figured maple bodies that offer the requisite tone as well as outstanding visual appeal. [u]Neck-thru Models[/u] Because piezo pickups directly pick up the resonance of the instrument body, the body itself must be made from the finest woods and designed to deliver rich, deep tone. The neck-thru design of theses basses affords the best possible foundation for this amazing sound.

Bump for a great bass and a great bloke. I still can't believe this is here at this price. Good luck Ben

Thank you for your comments and input, appreciated I agree with the inlay bit for sure. Not sure how the colour would really matter and yes, 6 strings are not to everyone's taste but eitehr way this is a stunning instrument. I am going to get the inlay changed next month and then sell it again. In the mean time, any mods reading this, could you delete this thread please as the bass is now withdrawn from sale. Thanks

/\ || || || || || || In other words - BUMP for a lovely Saturday Come on folks, grab a bargain while you can. Only £900.00 for all of this. It's a steal....... Please don't make me put it on Evil Bay. This bass has to go and it needs a new home now. Please help it

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. It is a lot of bass and will make someone very happy, so what are you all waiting for PM me please and buy this beauty

OK, this is the deal. I have found something I really want and therefore, prepared to let this go for an incredibly ridiculous price. How does £900.00 sound to you. This retails for well over £1600.00 and this bass I have is the original with Simms side LEDs. Do me and yourselves a favour and grab a bargain now. Go on, you know you want to

And BUMP again...... Enjoy your Bank Holiday folks.

[quote name='XB26354' post='939400' date='Aug 29 2010, 03:24 PM']I own an identical one of these in nirvana black. I sold it, regretted it straight away and when the chance came to buy it back I snapped it up. Nothing else had quite the punch or woodiness, even other Warwicks. A superb bass, even from top to bottom. Highly recommended.[/quote] It is a wonderful bass and for years it has been my mainstay. Like you, I have tried many other Warwick's and nothing compared to the sound of this. I have been through Corvettes, Thumb B.O. & NTs, Stage I and yet nothing beat this LX. I will be sad to see it go but for sentimental reasons and that is not enough reason, for me, to keep it. Thanks the post and recommendation to all who read this. Take care. Cheers, Matt

Sunday afternoon bump

All PM's replied to. Keep the offers coming guys and gals, I really appreciate them all. Take care. Cheers, Matt

No interest at all? I'll give it a Saturday Bump if you don't mind, but if there is no interest by Tuesday, I will withdraw this. Make me an offer folks. Have a good one

[quote name='claude' post='938262' date='Aug 27 2010, 05:01 PM']Thanks for your offer but I'm not a 6 or a five strings player[/quote] Fair enough Good luck with the sale, a beautiful bass.

A beautiful bass and I miss the one I had. Would you be up for a swap for a 1997 Warwick Streamer LX6 with Simms side LEDs? Always worth a try [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100278"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100278[/url]

Would anybody be interested in possible trades? I am looking for a great quality 7 string guitar (Ooops sorry!) and I would also be up for trading this with a Dingwall 6 string bass plus cash adjustment on my part or an Apple G5, Powermac etc. Thought I would put it out there

Bank Holiday Week-End Bump It's a stunning bass that really does need a new home that will use it to its fullest potential again

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' post='937336' date='Aug 26 2010, 05:13 PM']I really need to limit the amount of time I come on here and get tempted by all this porn!!! Are you sure you want to sell that Matt? Brendan[/quote] Hi Brendan, I know what you mean sir With regards this bass, yes I do. I have been weighing it up for the past 8 months to be honest but I just don't use this bass and rather than it just being sat there, I would rather it went to a home where it would be played and enjoyed as much as I used to love playing it. It is too good a bass to be just sat there and I know I am not going to use it again. A pity, but reality. Anyway, want it? It's very lovely Speak soon and take care. Cheers, Matt

OK, as promised, I have added a load of pictures for you that show what a wonderful bass this is. I have tried to capture the LEDs and they seem to have come out all right. If you have any questions, please PM me and I will do all I can to help. Hopefully speak to someone soon and give this bass the home it deserves Take care. Cheers, Matt

Pictures will be coming later this morning and I have dropped the price after doing a little more research. Also, I am open to offers. Hopefully someone will want this little beauty. Hit me with your PM's folks and take care.

I am definitely selling my trusty Warwick Streamer LX6 with Simms side LEDs. I have owned this bass from new (1997) and it has travelled far and wide with me, in fact all around the world. It is in absolutely beautiful condition with just a few dings that can only been seen if you really look for them. Honestly, it is in amazing condition for a 13 year old bass. This bass just sits in a case since I bought my Yamaha basses which have become my main live and recording basses. This is therefore, unfortunately, surplus to requirements. The only thing that you might want to change is that it has my name on the 24 fret but I have spoken to Simms directly and they can replace it with anything at all at a not significant cost - around £100.00. The bass comes with the Warwick gig bag and trust rod adjuster. It was set up by my tech about 4 months ago as I was thinking of selling it then and decided against it at the last minute, so the bass is set-up beautifully. I think that is all for now except price, so how does this sound - £900.00 The bass has a Wenge neck and board, a flamed maple body (green tinted), it's a 34" scale length and has the Just-a-Nut 1 brass bridge with gold hardware. It is currently strung with LaBella Super Steps and plays like a dream with that beautiful, full Warwick tone. The string spacing is 16.5mm and hence why I don't use it anymore. I prefer the Yamaha 19mm string spacing. I will get some proper photos done tomorrow but in the mean time, here are some pictures of it in my hands at a rehearsal and on a video shoot. Thanks for your time and please feel free to contact me with any questions. If you want to try it, then not a problem, I live in Cardiff. If you decide you want it, then I would prefer you pick it up please but depending on location, I might travel to meet or deliver. Thanks again and take care. Cheers, Matt

This is absolutely stunning. I have an LX6 from '97 with SIMMS side LEDs and was thinking of selling it and then I saw this and thought of buying yours They sound so amazing. I would still be playing mine if the Yamaha's hadn't come along and stolen my bass players heart instead. Good luck with the sale sir, this bass will make someone very happy indeed
