Mr Cougar

Couple of years older than my Ray, in my opinion a golden era for these instruments (including pre-EBs) I doubt you'll find a better Ray than this era. My only gripe was the 'transition bridges' where they started to put blank bolts in instead of the actual mutes. Nevertheless an excellent bass, if I was looking for a ray I'd look no further.

I've said it a coulpe of times recently, and I'm not sure why but, the market for Warwicks is rock bottom at the moment. Maybe worth hanging onto for the future, they are bound to come back in fashion again and this is a lovely looking bass.

[quote name='Beneath It All' post='149117' date='Feb 29 2008, 06:40 PM'].....You obviously have a different perspective to me on what constitutes 'mint condition'...Lad.......[/quote] Perhaps, perhaps not. We certainly have a different perspective on the way we should behave on a community forum. It's very easy to make your comments on a web forum where you don't have to face the individual whose honesty is in question, as suggested before, if you have a problem; PM the seller, nobody is forcing anyone to buy or sell anything. I'd have no problem with someone publicly exposing a scam after trying the PM route, but in this instance it's plain there is no deception, the photos are there for all to see.

This bass makes me want to cry, I absolutely love sunburst and tort vintage jazzes, it would only be better if it was an early 70s (just for asthetic reasons). The worst part is that I'm 27 now and in 15 years time when I have climbed the greasy poll sufficiently to afford it and buy one of these it'll cost me 3-4 times as much, buying it now would actually save me money in the future. Alas I'm getting married in April 09 and I need to spend the cash on other things. Good luck with the sale Steve, I'll have to go now, the tears are making my keys too wet to type...

By my reckoning about £1100 quid inc VAT, import duty and postage not bad for what looks like a schminty fresh MM 30th, I'd be well jealous if I wasn't planning on snaffling an equally sexy lady soon. Good Luck.

[quote name='Beneath It All' post='149024' date='Feb 29 2008, 04:16 PM']Does a bass with a 'scratched' pickguard pass as mint??[/quote] When did it become common place to do other peoples instruments down in the for sale section, there's a real spate of this at the moment, it's apparent from the pics so he isn't trying to fool us. Also +1 what Machines said about black, it's a total slag for scratching up. I think there is a differrence between a subjective opinion of condition with clear pictures and some of the dealers we get on here trying to rip people off, I'm all for protecting people from scammers but this is a bit picky lad. £460 is a solid price for the bass as described, good instrument one of the best value of the Fender sigs.

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='148404' date='Feb 28 2008, 02:14 PM']i think you could stick it on ebay as a "Fender Jazz Bass" and then list the build in the description. I think you might do quite well out of it[/quote] Either that or one of the influx of tossers on the forum slagging off all the sales threads will report you as a scammer in the 'Ebay Links' For what it's worth that is a great looking bass and I'd leave it a while see if someone fancies it. Incidentally what is that between the bridge PUP in the middle? (Gold Coloured strip???)

Hi guys, since I now run a line 6 Bass Pod pro thingymajig in my set up I have no further use for the V-amp pro, someone please take it off my hands because it ain't getting used, it's not in the original box but I'm sure I can find a suitable container for it, pretty sure I have the manual to. If not I think it's on 'el tinterneto' It was formerly owned by Dan "Dood" Veall and will actually make you play like him* It still bears some of his musk and mystique, which must add considerably to the value. Yours for £40 (£100 new) I'll drop it round the M62 for petrol money and I'm sure postage won't be too expensive anyway.

Stop flirting Richard you tease

[quote name='richardd' post='148494' date='Feb 28 2008, 04:41 PM']Hi Jim. What can I say, you are always welcome,You know you want it.[/quote] Well of course I do, that's the bloody problem, you now own my dream bass....Satan.

You've done it now Steve! I know where he lives! I've been secretly scoping the joint from the inside (should just such an opportunity arise) by using the cunning ruse of driving down to his house and giving him great piles of my not so hard earned cash!!

Tell me you haven't got that Red Sadowsky of Steves? Actually probably best if you don't, you don't want to hear a crash in the middle of the night and find a GAS crazed Cougar tearing apart your home. I've been casting anxious glances at that Olly white Jazz he's selling and hoping the GAS passes.

Ah that's a nice looking bass, last few months the Warwick market has seemed a little lifeless though, might be worth haging on to?

Sensible decision Richard.
