    [quote name='NancyJohnson' post='654873' date='Nov 14 2009, 10:37 PM']I do remember Q-Tips and I do remember they did a lot of gigs. Credit to them. That said, it means nothing. How many people here can name one song The Q-Tips recorded? Who can name one member of The Q-Tips whose name [i]isn't[/i] Paul Young? No cheating now! P[/quote] I use to go to see Q Tips at The Venue in victoria (greay place to pull "west end girls" by the way). They were a brilliant live act, Paul Young was a great frontman. I didn't like his solo stuff though and I notice he's back to fronting a band again (Cajun stuff I think). I was a huge Mark King fan, still an admirer, thought Level42 were brilliant muso's,ultra tight,excellent production, etc but thought their songs sucked in content tbh (very few would sound ok on an acoustic guitar, which kinda shows a song for what it is). But they cornered a market, got people dancing during a pretty crap time politically and got Joe public interested in bass guitar. And hey, MK and the band are famous and probably got a few quid, and here I am trying to learn Hysteria for the next function on saturday (not a Muse fan, but punters like it)....so I hats off to them, we're till talking about them 25 years on!

    OK, so I need to raise some cash so am offloading my Fortress Masterman 5 string. I've already got a corvette 5'er and have just bought status groove bass (been after one for about 3 years), so the masterman is a bit too similar to both. I don't want an outright sale, but need to raise bout £200 cash. So I'm after another 5 string + 200 smackers. If I sold this outright I'd look at about £500-600 if that helps in guesstimating value of bass. Would like a fretless 5 preferably, but will consider right bass for a defret. Hope this makes sense??? Pics to follow. But has a beautiful flame maple two piece body, ovangkol neck, wenge fingerboard, scale length: 34" (long scale), 24 brass frets, gold hardware and justanut 1. Active MEC MM pickup, active MEC 2-way electronics, natural oil finish. It's in excellent condition, looks beautiful. The pickup has two separate pickups inside, each of which can be panned between and has its own treble and bass control. Comes with warwick gig bag. So...you have my bass, I have yours and some cash. Until I upload some piccies, here's a link to the warwick site with spec on the original Fortress series.

    Forgot I had this, unused Warwick 3.3 ProFet head. Boxed, warranty from Bassmerchant July 09. Bought for back up, but didn't need it. Boxed new condition. Could post or deliver/meet up to 25 miles from North Dorset. I know they're "entry" level heads, but i think they have a great warm tone for a FET amp. Anyway might suit someone after a back up or first venture into "seperates".

    Hi Pete, welcome mate from a relatively newbie myself. Great site, just don't visit the for sale section, it's addictive. Anyway, I liked your bass playing story, bit like mine. Stopped playing for 15 years, after band broke up then got fed up with dealing with dodgy promoters, flouncy singers and not seeing the kids. Got back into it a few years ago, with encouragement from mates, now playing again, with teaching, full time. Best of luck with the band Pete, enjoy it and welcome to the 5 string club! John
