[quote name='Josh' date='May 15 2008, 06:37 PM' post='199811' Unfortunatley for me my experience with the bass wasn't the best, after the initial reaction of it being my first Warwick I soon found that it didn't have that trademark Warwick Growl which was what I was hoping for, I also couldn't get on with the pick up placement, I play prodominantly on the bridge pick up and on the $$ the bridge P'up is actually a considerable distance away from the bridge as opposed to my Thumb, which is also essential to the tone. I changed the action many times but couldn't get it anywhere near comfortable. And in the end I just found the all the tones available were pretty bland and really didn't stand out well in a mix and I was left puzzled to why they are seen as such an amazing bass. [/quote] +1 i didn't like mine at all,in fact i would have been better buying a corvette std.

i know what you mean Andy,my visa card wants me to buy a US '57 P bass but the wife will kill me if i do. but the MIM sounds like a good buy so i think i'll order one tomorrow. thanks for all your help.

thats what i was hoping to hear thanks guys,looks like the credit card will be getting a moderate hammering then.

If you like it go for it....[/quote] cheers bud. no shops near me stock these so i'll have to order it from the good old 'net & hope for the best.

[quote name='Marcus' post='200099' date='May 16 2008, 08:05 AM']Might be wrong here but arn't they made from Basswood ?[/quote] according to Fender's website they both have alder bodies. just looked on harmony central & both get very good reviews.

thinking of buying one of the above & just wondered if anyone has one & if so what do you reckon ? cheers.

you lucky bast*rd that is bloody lurvley.

damn good post & a damn nice set of basses-i especially love the antigua jazz,i'd sell my left nut to buy one of those.

i've had a few over the years but- by far the best sounding rig is my current one SVT3PRO & B410 HLF prettiest amp was a Hughes & Kettner Bassbass 600 & Ashdown ABM500 1X15 (sounded ace for about 6 years then went tits up) worsts rig (prepares to duck) Trace Elliot head (GP7SM graphic,can't remember the model-250 ish watts) & T.E. 4X10 & T.E.1X15 i just could not get a usable sound out of it try as i did. rig i trusted the least GK1001RB-11 & GK115SBX-11 sounded great but the speaker sh*t its pants quite easily.

if you can find a used one i reckon an Ampeg SVT3PRO is a good option,i sold my GK 1001RB to get the Ampeg. i find it has bags more punch than the GK ever had,well at least for the blues/rock stuff i play.

i bought one of the bay last year for £250,mind it was pink & a bit battered but played nice.

hi Phil,i owned one for about a week (don't ask) & it played really nice,good tone & punchy as hell.

A J makes me feel slightly better about myself.[/quote] ah now its clear if you play a Jazz you're only a wee man if you play a Precision you're hung like a stallion

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='190607' date='May 2 2008, 04:11 PM']I'd rather be plucking a Fender than f*cking a bender. p.s. Vote J.[/quote] pure genius-- i applaud you sir

just kidding couldn't help meself.

now this should be interesting--you little devil you. ok here goes P bass are best so there-cos i play one J basses are crap

Lemmy now i reckon he is extremely over rated (in my own personal opinion of course) mind would you class him as a bass player or just a noisey b*stard

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='188481' date='Apr 29 2008, 11:18 PM']sorry its taken so long to say this but..... great deal! great bass! i'd be more than happy to do my next deal with Neil! cheers for the mint jazz! [/quote] just spotted this,cheers buddy
