Price for sale is £1250, but I'd put a trade value of £1400 on it. Trades considered are Precisions of lower value with a cash adjustment. Moving house means I need to get some cash out of the bass Here are some pictures of it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/105454670@N03/sets/72157646037869528/ Hope Steve doesn't mind me using these, but they are better than anything I could do with my phone. So this is a German built Warwick thumb neck through. Made in 1992. Has a nice slim neck, that is super easy and fast to play. 34" scale Wenge/Bubinga neck, and a Wenge fingerboard. EMG pickups with a passive/active Warwick/MEC 2band EQ. Well balanced, and in excellent condition. This does everything you'd expect. Growly tone, that punches through the mix better than anything I've used before. The truss rod is basically untouched and the frets are also in excellent condition. This is a superb example of a early Thumb. So why am I moving it on? I keep coming back to my streamer. The streamer is a little lighter, and although it doesn't sound the same as the thumb (it can't sound as aggressive without effects) , it's more suited to the sound I want. Anyone who would like to come and try the bass first, to see if it's the sound they are looking for,is welcome to come to my house and have a play on it. It will come with a tweed hard case, and can be couriered, but at the buyers expense and risk! I've never had a problem before, but you never know with couriers!! -
I know it doesn't mean much, but when they performed it live on the US version of "the Voice", the guy played a Precision style bass. I know, i know, it doesn't gaurantee it was on the record, and the performance may have been "mimed", I'm just saying

That you need to buy a palm sander?
-
Congratulations I owned one for a bit, and they are huuuuuuge sounding!!!
-
Nice bass! I know most people love the tort, but i'd stick with the black. Looks great. Happy days
-
EQ set flat except for a small cut on the treble. Then play/fiddle/move the EQ on the bass im using, depending on what song it is. Simples
-
I've never done that before, but it seems like a good idea. Definitely something i will consider doing next time my strings need a change!

I've got a '87 streamer and it's my favourite bass I've ever played. Supremely slim neck, so I'm assuming yours is the same? Cracking bass, at a cracking price type of bump

Ive never really been a fan of flatwounds, so i don't know what is "normal practice". But i didnt think people who used flatwounds would play with a pick? Kind of defeats the point doesn't it? I'm more than happy to accept i'm wrong about this BTW but if you are looking to get no "picky treble or twang", i'd suggest learning to play with fingers (if you cant already?) If you are looking for "pillowy thump", boosting your low mids should help if you have that option

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1420456945' post='2649448'] See how far off you are just by playing what you hear.. and then fill in the gaps. You tube has some good pointers but mostly for the obvious and popular stuff... [/quote] This is what i do. I can get pretty close just listening. I'll have a go, and if any parts are wrong, or not close enough, ill spend 5 minutes working them out. I dont stress if its not 100% correct. 98% will do me and the majority of "Joe Public"

Don't be flash. Concentrate on "sitting in the pocket". I agree with whoever said about showing them your 'tricks' at a later date. Or just before you set down so they have something to remember you by. It would kind of be a bookmark on your audition

Stu bought my Bergantino cab. Everything was straight forward. Paid quickly, communication was easy, alllll good. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with Stu again. Cheers mate

Ashdown has really taken a hammering on this thread hasn't it?! I've never played through one, so can't comment from a players perspective, but a mate plays through an all ashdown rig, and I have to say, I quite like his sound. Really full, warm, bassy tones, and not woolly at all.
-
Worst I've played through is a 10w line6 combo. Still got it though. It does the job for learning new tunes. But make no mistake, it's awful.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1419622923' post='2641412'] Boost the mids on your amp slightly. [/quote] Yup. This would be my suggestion

Higher and higher Sir duke Soul Man Long train running In the midnight hour Superstitious (if you can't already play it) I feel good As ChrisB said, get on YouTube and type in Motown classics. Hours of fun
-
If you are really looking to impress, find out their set, and learn a couple they haven't asked you to learn. And have fun. I think someone who looks to be having fun is going to get the job over someone who looks like they have sand in their pants

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1419786831' post='2642701'] Indeed.... I think it would be hard to get a bad sound and if you did, it wouldn't be those bits of kit at fault.. IMO [/quote] Yeh I agree.
-
This is the exact rig Ill have once my speakers arrive. Glad to hear you're so happy with it. I don't play too much rock stuff, but nice to know it can go there. I'm playing mostly Motown stuff at the minute, so I hope it performs just as well! I think it will

Wow. Didn't think this would be up again anytime soon. Bump for a quality jazz! -
Nice looking bass! Congrats
-
I'm guessing you're the person who actually won it in the auction? So jfader was trying to sell it before he had it? I'm not calling anyone out by the way, I'm just trying to understand the situation.

Looking good!!

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1418937648' post='2635095'] Ah, I so nearly went for that!! I do love my S112. Not even tempted to get another as the one is more than enough for what I need! [/quote] When i tried a few speaker/amp combos in Bassgear yesterday, i was amazed how responsive and loud the S112 was. Just as a side note, Vic and Phil in BassGear were great. Really helpful. Loved the shop!! Top end gear everywhere. I could have stayed the week and still had more stuff to oogle at. Didnt meet Barrie, but had a great day up there! The coffee was top notch aswel

I went for the brown 7w pattern vinyl, with the beige/brown cloth. I like to keep things understated
