    Nobody in the North West up for a decent budget bass?

    I keep coming back to look at this lovely bass, it really flicks my switch having the rosewood board. It looks a really nice example.

    For sale is my immaculate G&L JB-2, theres not a mark on it! I bought this off the bay a while ago as a back up bass but I never got back into a gigging band so Its spent most of its time here in a gig bag. I owned one of these years back and used it as a main bass which I used at many gigs, this being the reason why I bought another. Only selling as I could do with the cash. Not interested in any trades thanks and the price is firm. Collection from St Helens only as I don't have a hard case for it, just a gig bag. I now have suitable packaging to ship this. I should be able to put the bass in a couple of gig bags for protection and box it up. I'll do this for £245 posted.

    No love for Dewalt? Or is that not fashionable anymore? I'm getting too old 😩

    That is absolutely stunning!

    I really cannot believe that this hasn't been snapped up. I'd have to sell my cabs to be able to buy this BUT if this can't sell mine have no chance!

    It's dawned on my that it's been 24 years since I've been. Jeez. I've just had a look who's playing. So how much were the tickets then?

    I've net been there for a while but I remember it being a great little shop, I used to call in regularly. I've bought a couple of basses from there many years ago, a Aria SB1000 and a 1979 Precision. Both were reasonably priced. He's had some pretty good second hand amps as well. I drove through Newtown a couple of months ago and I was delighted to see that the shop was still there as the owner is a really nice bloke. I hope he's doing well.

    Having played this bass I can confirm that its Warwick at its best, one of the nicest Streamer I've played and I've owned a number of vintage Warwicks, Streamers and Thumbs. I'm amazed that this is still available and due to my unemployment it's the only reason it is!

    Back in 1988 I paid £90 for my first bass, a Westone Thunder Jet. God knows how I got that much money together, I didn't even have a paper round! Also, we had one of these Thunder 1's in the school music room and as the only 'bass player' I had first dibs on it. Happy days. If I had a spare ton I'd have this 😍

    Bought Dave's Markbass cab. Went to the trouble of sending it by courier as it was way too far to collect. Really appreciate it! Top bloke, excellent communications and didn't hang around shipping it. Cheers! Paul

    Darn it. Its for collection only.

    I had one of these amps. I'm certainly no expert when it comes to electronics but I can remember how 'old school' it looked inside. Nothing like modern amps. I'd find it really hard to believe that it couldn't be repaired. The OP says he can't find anybody in the north west to look at it. I know a guy down in Telford who used to service and fix my amps. I've not seen him for a good while now bit I'm pretty sure he'd be able to sort it.

    Too far away 😥

    Thomann have a B-stock Tribute for £380, it would be very tempting if I weren't skint. If they (and they will be) are as good as my JB-2 Tribby it will be a fantastic bass. It's certainly on my wish list. I've had a US L2000, L2000 Tribute, M2000 Tribute, and my current JB-2. All excellent basses.

    There was a job advertised on Indeed for Dawsons Warrington today. Web developer or something like that. https://www.indeed.co.uk/jobs?q=dawsons &l=Warrington%2C Cheshire&radius=0&sort=date&vjk=59663fa43e54b6ea

    DR Strings

    bigthumb replied to a topic in General Discussion

    I just bought a set of Black Beauties from the US, I used them many moons ago and liked them so I thought I'd give them a whirl on my Thumb bass. But my preferred string is the Lo-Rider and as mentioned above they're a great price on Amazon. I'll be ordering a set pretty soon.

    I'm pretty sure that the prices will come down in line with the 2x12. I really fancy trying one myself now.... You're right, it never ends!
  24. bigthumb
    Theres a used 2x10 on ebay thats not too far from you.
  25. bigthumb
    Nice bass but I'd have to change that knob.
