He's not my guitarist anymore, sadly. He did angst over one at a guitar show some years ago. I had to drag him away from it, as it was phenominally expensive.

I think they have done some of these as a Trujillo sig - possiby with an altered spec.

[quote name='Bo0tsy' timestamp='1380985992' post='2233139'] @12stringbassist - I'm loving the Streamer Chrome Tone, is that a custom shop model? [/quote] Hi, They were a listed special limited run item. Quite decent spec / price. Great big sound, superb looking, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMCRv6rPBlw [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On8TrQ-lv08[/media]

I bought this Westfield P bass for £75.00 for other people to use at a jam night that I run. It's so nice to play and feels and sounds just like a fat 70's P. Will have to think again about letting mortals touch it.

I love my two. I didn't always like Warwicks, though. I played one (can't remember what model) at a jam night and thought the neck was like a tree trunk (far too big). However, I came a cross the Streamer Chrome Tone and had to try it because of its utter glam rock-ness. Later on, I came across a one-off custom shop Thumb NT and fell for that, too. Tastes can change. I think some Warwicks are maybe seen as being [i]'of a certain period'[/i] - like Mark King's Jaydees.

I swapped over from a Westfield P to my Ric 4003BB the other night and several vertebrae in my back nearly turned to dust. I actually heard my back creak.

THIS remains my dream....

I once drove all the way from Bolton to Edinburgh to look at a rather derelict Washburn 8-string on the advice of a mate. Not in the market for one now, but it's a nice bass that you have there. I have a similar Aria ZZB deluxe in my collection and would say that would certainly be a keeper for you. All I had to do with mine was raise the pickups slightly and be careful not to bang it on things! An excellent bass. I really would hang on to it.

My wife is very understanding, really. I find 29 basses a really odd number and one of these days, I'm probably going to have to broach the subject of number 30. She knows very well I don't NEED another bass and if I get it, it's because I WANT it. I would never dream of hiding a new bass from her and would 99% certainly tell her I was planning to pull the trigger.

I've just checked it out with the people I always use on http://www.lcn.com/whois/search?s=funkbass&commit= I'd just buy the .org name. Hope that helps.

Oh, that's nice.

Oh that's NIIIIICE. Looking at the earlier pics, I'm quite surprised that the only two I am keen on are the Black P bass w/maple neck and the sunburst Pbass that is missed mourned by its previous owner. They look great. If I had a black P with a maple neck, I'd be happy with a dark tort plate, but would be tempted to go mirror or black at some point.

I have a day job that pays the bills. Gigging for me is about the mental exercise and enjoyment of playing and a little bit of socialising. I happily admit I do expect to be paid enough for an evening's work in a pub and the travel to get there, but at the same time, I have cheerfully given up occasional afternoons or evenings to do things for free for Help The Heroes and such. The playing is sometimes enough for me. Rehearsing should be to get new songs in, or to tidy existing ones up. Not a paid-for evening's socialising. I would not gig regularly for nothing, as I believe that is what people who are out there to be discovered often have to do. I'm not out there to be discovered any longer. Good luck to those who are prepared to invest their time to get ahead, though. Horses for courses.

Active: Warwick Steamer Chrome Tone. Passive: Possibly my Ric 4003 FG...

It's solid, but seems to be chambered. The finish is a bit more green than the first photo suggests. Very thin from front to rear.

New to me today- very pleased with this - classy and a bargain, too. Colour on photo boosted, as it's more green than orig photo suggested.

So if Ric make a bass with a finish defect, they can withdraw the guarantee? John Hall is a genius. I bet he starts chasing the poster of that topic to give him some serious abuse for buying a Ric with a crap finish and then having the affrontery to tell people.

I'd honestly be driven nuts if this happened to me. I don't think you really have any option other than to politely ask about what happened. It can go one of a few ways: It was done without your mate knowing: So you can just say, that even though you like it, you don't want to take the credit for someone else's work. Your mate had it re-done: Say fair enough, you weren't totally happy with what you did anyway and the new part is fine, but you don't want to take the credit for someone else's work. From there, just remember to keep cool as your friendship is more important than the tracks. Or you can go straight to handbags at twenty paces.

My Bison reissue. Sounds more like a Rickenb***er than a Rickenb***er.

I played this little beaut in Accrington last week. I don't take it out as often as I should, but always really enjoy it when I do.

Touch wood.

Last weekend...
