    [quote name='Descendent' timestamp='1377239578' post='2185094'] Cheers for the thought Eude. Exporting this baby to the US seems like it'd be a pretty penny to get it there. $1560 even without shipping, import duties & tax - easily $2000 in the end. Sexy666, I can only sell my LTD for what they seem to be going for! What's the reason for getting rid of yours may I ask? You seem to have a fair few Warwicks in your collection! [/quote] Quite right Descendent. I had my Bleached Blonde 4 string up and had very little (but determined) interest at £1100. I exchanged it for a rather lovely US 75 Jazz RI and a few bob. Market will dictate what they are worth, which is a shame because these particular Warwicks are fabulous basses. GLWTS

    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1377151087' post='2183916'] Karl, I hope you've had the offending cymbal beaten to death? (There's a pun or two in there somewhere?) [/quote] Our drummer will never walk the same again Tom . The Warwick has gone, might put the Glaub up as this is showing no real signs of going anywhere. Guess I'm looking for somebody who wants to buy a new Geddy, but can live with a headstock chip for the sake of saving £200.

    Thanks Martin Now considering trades for something a bit older. Roadworn Fiesta Red jazz or Lakkie Duck Dunn favourites, but feel free to ask. I'm very weak willed

    Hope you get it sorted Chris. I'm a big fan of the freeze stuff, but I know I'm not doing myself any favours.

    [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1376999497' post='2181959'] Perfectly reasonable to ask openly if someone would consider an offer - but all discussions on price should be via PM, hence I've edited a couple of posts above [/quote] And this from a MOD with the R word in his avatar!!!!!!!!!!! Stunning bass. Bermp as Mr Sellers would say.

    Gorgeous bass. Tom, what you doing up at this time of the night lad? You are an early bird Bump.

    Thanks chaps, yes, very good price in my opinion. Very well finished, but still needs to go I'm afraid. Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1376909266' post='2180568'] Mid set action check. [/quote] An explanation of that move is given above the same photo,in my "For Sale " thread for that Geddy. How's that for a completely shameless plug And yes, that is a big shirt. I'm going to change it into a dress, but that's another story

    Loud and proud today. The bass player on before me had his two Ampeg 410's throught the PA. I was not jealous. My tshirt was bigger than his rig (EBAY order after the pub [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/993694_10151873301796328_548257143_n_zpsd8db8729.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/993694_10151873301796328_548257143_n_zpsd8db8729.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    [quote name='davehux' timestamp='1376782550' post='2179177'] Because I had an email saying "Your cab is almost finished, full payment is now due" Followed by silence, then after I chased it, a rather brusque one saying they are short staffed after Alex injured himself on his bike. Just the thousand pounds of my money!!! [/quote] I had similar delays, frustrations and also the same feelings about having to pay up front. I got the feeling at times that Alex's customer skills were similar to that of a stereotypical mad professor (no offense intended Alex). Even worse, after it finally arrived, I didn't like the sound and wanted my Schroeder 410BMF back. Then, after about 4 gigs, it started playing nice and I very much doubt I would go back to anything else. If anybody doesn't like the asthetics, don't buy the bloody things. Me, my back and my fingers are delighted at the 40/50 gigs we do per annum. As are my ears. Expensive, not to everybodies taste, but a great compromise in all areas that count.

    Yes because for instance somebody selling another bass of around the same value, can not say they would seriously consider trading with one of the unmentionables. Sadly as we all know the owners were put in a position where they had little choice, for the benefit of the majority. We need a secret handshake kinda section of Basschat . In the meantime OP, you have suggestions and I'm sure some of us will keep an ear open.

    Gumtree, Preloved, one of the local Faecesbook music gear sale pages. On those sites you can also stipulate if you would accept trades. Bit trickier to stipulate that on FEEBay. It is a shame it went the way it did as I think Basschatters missed out on sales and trades through no fault of their own. Just remember when you see an example of said bass on FEEBay at £1500; 1. It is likely that price to cover about £130 of fees. 2. It is also unlikely to sell. Part ex or lower price may be the order of the day for a quick transaction. Good luck.

    Somebody thought they don't look good. I think mine looked very nice at Milnrow WMC last night. I think it will also look quite nice on a much bigger stage tomorrow at the Rock The Lakes Festival. But I KNOW it will sound great to me, every time I use it [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0281_zpsb9112c12.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0281_zpsb9112c12.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Sorry, bit of a naughty bump, but been thinking about this. In the absence of any really firm offers, going to put this on FEEBay tomorrow night I think. Would strongly conside offers of Jazz or P, with cash possible either way. Or even the bass that has no name It will go on there at a higher cash price to cover costs. Thought I'd take them out just to show they are perfectly giggable. Milnrow WMC last night. Same rig and basses will be used for the Rock The Lakes Festival tomorrow.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1376673695' post='2177883'] Cheers, Karlfer! That gig was at the Sage Gateshead. City Hall was a couple of months later with a different band. It was fun. [/quote] Shows how sober I was at City Hall. I do remember Edgar Broughton there though .
  24. karlfer
    That City Hall vid is just amazing. Be proud dood! Mind, few more musicians than last time I saw them there . Beautiful bass. GLWTS

    I think I'm going to try FEEBay for my Bleached Blonde Warwick. I've had a couple of good tentative offers but they are all relying on selling some of their own gear. I'm not, however, going to put my Geddy on there. With it being almost new, I would have to hike the price to about £630 plus delivery, just to cover my costs. That is only a saving of £130 over new, so unlikely to be worth people having a go. Decisions decisions
