  1. [quote name='The Burpster' post='1062709' date='Dec 18 2010, 06:06 PM']From this post I can only assume that you are not really after a back up at all and have GAS for something different. Surely if you are using Warwicks and you want a [u]back up[/u], I'm wondering why you would be looking anywhere else.....? If had a main 'stage axe' (which incidently WOULD be a Warwick) then I'd want another set up pretty damn similar as a back up - not something completely different. [/quote] I do love my wicks but I just want a different sound for my work band as its all covers and fairly mainstream I want a pretty mainstream sounding bass like a P or J. Because it's just for the work band thats why I'm setting myself a fairly low budget.
  2. black man - I play a warwick corvette and fortress at the min and have owned a rockbass. Great basses but not really what I'm after this time. chris b - that was my back up plan
  3. I need to buy a back up bass for my function band. Ideally I'd like the DJ Lakland or something similar but I need something for under £300 if possible as money is tight at the minute! I'm thinking about the Squier Deluxe Jazz V [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-deluxe-jazz-bass-v-active-black/31221"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-deluxe-jazz...ive-black/31221[/url] Has anybody had any experience with this bass? I've played one unplugged in a shop a long time ago and remember being quite impressed with the neck played but can't comment on the sound. Also any other suggestions at basses to look at? Must be 5 string, fretted, jazz/p type sound, hopefully <£300 Thanks!
  4. Hey everyone, I stay pretty quiet on the forums (usually skulking around the basses/FX for sale) but I thought you might like to hear our new EP, Cogs. It's up for free download at www.eighthdayarmy.bandcamp.com We got a little feature on the Warwick website too, hope you enjoy!
  5. OIRO £1300!
  6. I'm selling this for a friend, if I had the money it wouldn't have made it onto the forums! Here we have my beautiful Fender P-Bass - an eighteenth birthday present which I’m ashamed to say has been often admired but little played to its full capability. This is the special edition version. It uses a split-coil pickup with white covers and a 2-band EQ with an active/passive toggle switch to give it an incredibly dynamic sound. With a simple flick of the switch, you can change the entire range of your sound making it one of the most flexible and versatile bass guitars around. It keeps itself in tune very nicely and rarely requires attention aside from the odd battery change for the active pickups! Manufactured in the United States, it’s dated between 1979-1981 (as per the serial number), but being special edition I’d suggest we’re looking 1980. Beautifully finished in an Ocean Turquoise colour, it has a fast, easy maple fretboard. It’s in really good condition overall with no major blemishes or scars despite its 30 years history. Included with the sale is its own Fender hard case lined with rich red velvet. I’d have to say that this is one of the finest musical instruments I’ve ever played and I sorely regret having to put it on sale, but redundancy is on the cards and it’s a stunning luxury that I can no longer afford to keep.. Produced in the best location, during one of the greatest decades for Fender bass guitars, it really is true to say that they don’t make them like this anymore. If you want any further information, or have any questions, please feel free to ask.]
  7. yup it's wenge and now its mine! I've just recorded our new ep with it, just waiting for the mastering to get done but I will post a link to it when it's finished if anyones interested to hear how she sounds??
  8. Thanks for the replies, I'm not working for gear4music but fishbrain and lobematt are both me! just thought I might get better answers on the UK forum. Looks like I've got some saving too do either way, no doubt i'll post again before I take the plunge! Thanks
  9. Hi there I've been playing electric bass for 10 years and want to move into upright bass as well. I've decided to go acoustic over electric (which I was toying with for a while...) and I don't have a very big budget. Probably less than £500. As far as I'm aware there aren't any shops stocking upright basses by me so don't really have a chance to try out any basses but I have found this bass/case/bow deal on the internet and was wondering if anybody could tell me if it's worth getting this one or hanging on for something else? [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Woodwind-B...s-and-Case/1O1"]http://www.gear4music.com/Woodwind-B...s-and-Case/1O1[/url] Thanks!
