    I read a magazine interview with Flea in which he stated that among his many influences, McCartney stood out for his melodic basslines and strongly influenced his thinking on many of the Chilli Peppers slower numbers. Interestingly, in the same article he cited Paul Simenon as another[/quote]



    This figures - surely Give It Away is a direct descendent of Come Together :)

    Colin bought an EUB from me. Drove down as promised and paid upfront. Had a cuppa and a good old bass related chinwag. Great guy to deal with, highly recommended!

    Warwick Streamer stage 1 NT 5 string

    OK folks up for sale is my Warwick Streamer stage 1 NT 5 string.

    Flamed maple with Akanga stripes, wenge board, MEC humbuckers and active 3 band eq, made 2004

    Fantastic bass, does the lot - classic growl, great Zender through your Fenders to a very hifi Ken Smith like modern sound. Pretty much immaculate, no dings, been waxed regularly, new jack socket

    19-20mm spacing at the bridge, but fully adjustable, set up really nicely, neck is wide but not deep and really comfortable to play. Weight is about 9lbs and very comfy on the strap

    Reason for sale is I got this for a project that never got off the ground, and an incoming Sadowsky Fl means I need to generate cash, so not after trades I’m afraid.

    I’m into this bass for £1k and Thomann are currently asking £2400, so I’m asking £850 firm, which I think is very reasonable. Comes with newish padded Warwick gig bag, some wax, straplocks and truss tool

    Anyone is welcome to come and try this beauty out in the Bath/Bristol area. Collection preferred but can post at your expense, or meet within reasonable distance

    thanks for looking :)

    This bass has a really warm, woody, organic sound and so easy to play because of its 34" scale and adjustable string spacing.[/quote]

    sounds tasty, what colour?

    Happy ending!

    [quote name='Clarky' post='852103' date='May 30 2010, 08:37 PM']Bear in mind also that Entwistle had dozens of basses - Jaco had one that recorded all his classic moments and arguably the most ground breaking bass solo album ever - yep, this one, The Bass of Doom

    Its like saying one of Pete Townsend's countless Les pauls or SG's is worth at least as much as Eric Clapton's Blackie. It ain't. Period[/quote]

    spot on Clarky, I have a book of Entwistles bass collection, goes on forever. Only one BOD innit

    Happy ending!

    [quote name='Buzz' post='851918' date='May 30 2010, 04:51 PM']I completely disagree with your view of pricing.

    The reason being is that Entwistle was a member of The Who, who were massive in their heydays and known globally. Pastorius while a very good jazz bassist and did a lot for the instrument, is practically unknown outside of specific music circles.

    Part of the value of Entwistles' was due to his fame and popularity, Jaco simply doesn't have that and won't command the same price imo.[/quote]

    and £65 for a happy ending!?!?
