    Great stuff! I love the playing, the bass tone and the track. I have been listening to loads of music today and this is the best thing I have heard so far.

    Michael Dempsey played bass on Party Fears Two. Great player who did loads of great work for the Associates. There was a rumour that he faded because he couldn't slap!!! Travesty.

    Thanks for all the goodwill guys. I can put you all out of your misery now as the bass has just been sold. I hope the new owner enjoys it. Cheers John

    I have someone coming over on Saturday to look at it and he seems to have his heart set on it. I promise to keep you posted. Funnily enough, after years of buying moderately high-end basses, I suddenly find myself lusting after a nice Jazz or Precision. It must be something to do with old age.

    [quote name='paul, the' post='55674' date='Sep 5 2007, 12:16 AM'] What a price![/quote] I got the bass for a pretty reasonable price and I don't want to attempt to profiteer from my fellow bass players. No doubt I could have asked for a bit more if it was right handed as there would have been a larger market for it. It is now provisionally sold and I have someone coming to look it over. Cheers John

    Spare a thought for us poor left hookers who have to watch all these wonderful righty basses come up for offer every day. I would love to have a Fender JP signature Jazz but they aren't available left-handed. I can always dream of getting the Fender custom shop to do one for me though. I did once seriously consider relearning to play right handed but life is just too short for that. Cheers John

    I am selling this as I haven't really played it much since buying it. I have been retired from playing with bands for over 10 years now and this was a mid-life crisis purchase. I just can't tear myself away from my Wal which I love. I bought it around 18 months ago through a contact I made on the old bulletin board but an impending house move is forcing me to rationalise my kit. Details:[list] [*]Left Handed Warwick Thumb 6 String [*]Custom Shop Built 15th February 2005 [*]AAA Flamed Maple top grain [*]Flamed Maple neck [*]French Violet Stain [*]Fretted Ebony Fingerboard [*]Gold Hardware [*]MEC 3-Way active HB/HB [/list]Comes with case, straplocks, manual and custom shop certificate of authenticity. I would accept £800. I am based in Glasgow and would prefer collection if possible.

    I just wanted to add that I am the happy owner of an all black 1988 model including headstock. It is a thing of beauty indeed.
