  1. Bump for an oldie but goodie!!
  2. Just bought a Warwick of Graham, very good communication, well packaged (with an old hardcase as a freebie for postage!) and answered any questions I had when I received the bass. Recommended and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again, Thanks. NB: After I had received the bass I noticed a problem that Grahamd hadn't when he owned it, I got a quote to remedy it from a luthier and Graham offered to pay for the cost, which he promptly did. Top marks for a genuine good bloke!!
  3. Yeah, I like the line 'Invest in your bass ability, not your bass collection', just need to get on and do it then!!
  4. I was just wondering if anyone else has gone through loads of basses since they set their eyes on Basschat? I joined in Feb (6 months ago) and just realised I've had really really bad GAS. I have been through a fretless Yamaha TRB 1005, a fretted Yamaha TRB 1005, a Warwick Jazzman 5 string, a Warwick Streamer Pro M 4 string and am currently settled with two different Warwicks. Hopefully these two will be keepers and my GAS will stop, if it doesn't does anyone know the cure??
  5. Props for bass, if you like your 4 strings this is for you!!
  6. That is awsome type of bump! Does remind me of a piece of military equipment though (I'm thinking of some sort of high powered rifle!) The 'bendwell' bit is beautifully done, hope it goes to a good home!!
  7. Yeah, it's got a fairly powerful B string, the harmonics ring nice and clearly, the upper register is very clear and you can get a nice 'burpy' sound from it when you play over the pickup. It hasn't got an overly powerful midrange (compared to a Warwick for example) but is does sound good and plays really easily!!
  8. Hello, I'm selling my Status Groove bass 5 string as I've recently bought another 5 string bass and can only play one at once!! It's definitley been used and has a few marks here and there on it, it's not a minter but it would make a very good gigging bass! It does play very very easily and it is nice and light for a 5 string with very good balance. Those of you who are familiar with Status know that their necks are some of the thinnest and easiest to play, no exception here folks! The sound is even across the strings and the B has some power to it. The bass is active/passive with the active having bass/treble boost/cut. When in passive mode there is only volume, however it is true passive. I'm going to ask for £300 ono, with that you'll also get a used (read a bit battered) Hiscox hard case (there is no branding on it, just nice and plain). You'd be more than welcome to come and try it out (Huddersfield, West Yorkshire), I'd be willing to post but only at the organisation and expense of the buyer. Tell me your thoughts please, James.

  9. PM'd, if it's still available I'll have it please
  10. Up, up and away!!
  11. I play in a church worship group aswell, my main aim is to try and funk it up as best I can though!! On a more serious point I think it's one of the best places you can play at, but I am aware that this thread started advertising a P bass and is not 'who plays at what church' thread. Anyone want to start one?
  12. That is just fantastic!! I really dig that jigsaw style!!
  13. Please remove, no longer for sale.
  14. Yup, looks like a bargin to me!!
  15. bump to the top of the pile and new photos.
  16. Price too high? Or just no-one interested?
  17. Bump to top of the pops!
  18. PLEASE REMOVE AS NOW SOLD AND GONE TO A GOOD HOME!! Hi all, I've been fairly indecisive about selling recently, sorry for that, however I am now sure that this is not going to get played and is [b][u]definitley[/u][/b] up for sale. It's a 1998 Warwick Thumb NT 4 bass with a Hipshot Drop D tuner installed. Included with the sale is a new boxed set of Jonas Hellborg signature strings (40-60-80-100), the original tuner for the E string, and a nearly new Kinsman soft gig bag. It's got the Bubinga and Wenge thru neck design with 18V electronics, the neck is of a no volute design (denotes a removable truss rod) with the nut being a brass just-a-nut 1. I'm asking £850 which is more than the thread I got it from, however I'm including extras that I have added, namely a Hipshot Drop D tuner (eg. £100), Jonas Hellborg strings (eg. £35) and soft gig bag (eg. £25) and at this price I'm still loosing money on it. You're more than welcome to come and try it out (based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire). This is preferred pick up only as I would like the future owner to be sure they're happy with their purchase. At a push I could meet face to face at a reasonable mutual distance, however I would NOT be willing to post it, sorry.
