  1. Many thanks for the vid dood. Fantastic seeing Lol Creme again. 10cc were just an amazing band to listen to and see in the 70's. I remember them doing Newcastle City Hall. They started "I wanna be a boss", then Lol just pulled the band to a stop. " I've forgotten the ******* words". The place erupted in laughter. Sorry for thread hijack.
  2. Good track, good bass, good luck. Bump.
  3. [quote name='timmchale2009' timestamp='1376310695' post='2171921'] Karl I must insist you cease and desist immediately! Why you have so many nice bass?? [/quote] Sorry Tim Hope the AV62RI is working out for you. Cheers, Karl.
  4. Can't really afford the new ones at the moment Gareth, but the second hand one at £760 was do able. Mind, doesn't mean to say I won't be saving my pennies and asking for a Sea Foam Green in the future Lot of gigs coming up, will need my part of the band account to NOT show a profit
  5. [quote name='lushuk' timestamp='1376328318' post='2172222'] All PM's replied to and thank you for your interest, just awaiting for a response from someone to help out a BC member! Karlfer behave after months of wanting I had just talked myself out of a GL, its like red rag to a bull! [/quote]
  6. [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1376123198' post='2169895'] depends if it is in a fancy shaped mold is it like this? from what i understand the number of nodules around the top can have significant impact on the harmonic overtones whereas a plain round mold will probably give you a bit more of a P sound [/quote]
  7. Rather liked the Bongo to say the least. Loved the video, missed it first time round. Even the slap was quite nice and didn't make me want to put a pitchfork through both my ears.

    We have had discussions about this lovely Fender and a couple hundred sovs for my Bleached Blonde Ltd Thumb. Thing is Tom, the only time I'm on fire now is when Her Who Makes Toast By Breathing On Warburton's gets the little effigy out (NOT a euphemism)
  9. [quote name='lushuk' timestamp='1376262257' post='2171580'] Ok, ill look forward to that, lets hope it goes well! Im looking for close as ive seen tatty ones go for around £650 [/quote] Good thing you are looking for sale only as I was going to offer my Geddy including case, plus £150. Which completely renders useless my attempts to get to two basses Again, don't usually comment on price, but that is a very fair price being asked. GLWTS, Karl.
  10. [quote name='bengovier182' timestamp='1376247315' post='2171321'] I agree it's a very good price, just a bit more than i have at the moment. If it's still here when i can afford it I'll snap it up Always the case; when I've got money, there's no basses, when there's basses, there's no money lol. Ben. [/quote] Amen to that brother, amen to that And to make things worse, my ideal Precision (USA, Maple board, Lake Placid Blue) has just come up on Bumtree. I really MUST stop looking
  11. Thanks for the comments gents. Sorry Ben, no idea. They appear to be the same as on the Japan models, which were made for 14 years. It looks like whatever the blocks are, they appear to be under the fretboard lacquer. You certainly can't feel the blocks. Seems to me the couple of Japan Geddy's that came up a while back at around £450 seem to make this look a bit expensive. I generally don't comment on price, but apart from the infuriating cymbal incident, this is immaculate and only a year old. They were both to say the least a bit mojo'd and neither of them were the more expensive sunburst. So, as against a new "real" price of £760, I think £530, or £560 with Gator hard case is VERY fair. Cheers, Karl.
  12. Or £250 and a Geddy Lee

  14. You have some wonderful basses there sir. The Honey being another one of them GLWTS Bump.
  15. "What's it sound like?" With the Thumb being a lot of Maple with Swamp Ash, it is of course a bit brighter but that chest thumping Thumb noise is in there. Especially bright top end as I have just put some new strings on However, it has typical deep Warwick growl. Volume is push/pull for active/passive. Pup pan with me is nearly always round to the front pup. With bass and treble actives full on it is bloody thunderous. More pissed off P than Jaco, but obviously with amp/eq, most things can be coaxed out of it. Quite nice for chain saw murderer power chords though It is a very light bass and very well balanced, just didn't realise with 24 frets I don't know where I am on the 'board half the time. It is a lot of money, but they don't come up often. Despite the deflated prices of Warwicks on Basschat, it's a purdey thing to have on a stand behind me at gigs in case of a broken string. And I will happily do that rather than lose a lot on it. Cheers, Karl.
  16. BBOT = bent bit of tin, or put another way, standard Fender bridge. In this case off a Mexican re-issue. Not everybody likes BadAss bridges and some remove them and replace with a standard bridge. Then they sell the BadAss for a fortune Bump.
  17. They do look damn good and all the important parts are there. A clue on price wouldn't go amiss, I always think "less is unsurprisingly more"
  18. Great amp, top bloke, fill ya boots!
  19. You may be better off sending him a pm. I very much doubt this is still for sale as he hasn't commented on this thread for over 6 months. Good luck, Karl.
  20. Must resist, must resist, must resist, must resist

    If you are after this you MAY need to get a wriggle on peeps
  22. [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1376074250' post='2169497'] I'm loving this bass. I expect my MTD Bart modified bass will not be of interest though [/quote] Sorry Chris, lovely bass but not really for me I'm afraid. Martyn, pm'd you back. Don't get carried away you Warwick addict you. Cheers, Karl.
  23. Thanks Andy. This years Warwick Limited Edition is also a Thumb bolt on, but no maple board. Thomann have one in for just over £2900. I've not had one offer of trade or to buy. Stunning, superbly made rare bass but seems Warwick are really struggling on BC even the rare ones. Never mind
  24. Presume this has gone Gareth?
