    Not the longevo unfortunately As UK distributors I would expect them to know where has them in stock though. I prefer the sound and feel of these to the Elixirs so hoping I can still get them for a reasonable price.

    @MSL Prowhere can we buy these from? Did a google search and they don’t seem to be available at UK stockists?

    Mine have started to sound quite dull but no flaking. Just checked and it’s been a year since I put them on!

    Did you compare it to a German/ Japan model? If you like the tone it might be worth paying that bit extra to avoid the faults.
  5. Mrbigstuff
    Well you can’t sell that. Just look at it!

    True. I went from 5 basses and an upright to just a P bass when I moved to London. 1) because of space and 2) to pay for deposits on flats.
  7. Mrbigstuff
    If you’re a P bass fan and love the way the Limelight sounds. Why not commission a Limelight PJ and sell the jazz basses. That way you can have one P with flats and one with roundwounds.

    I had to get the truss rod replaced in the Warwick I had. I think it’s fairly common fault in 2000-2010 German Warwick’s.

    Well yeh, you get paid low income and the only training is on using a till. Their job is to make a sale, expert or not.

    Easy way to wind up my dad is to tell him the Beatles were just a sixties One Direction.

    Or that horrible Facebook recommendations page where there’s a man with his Willy out in a mirrored kettle

    Everyone starts somewhere

    I think a trip to Bass Direct is the best advice. Quality on any Fender is a lottery so make sure you try before buying.

    The essence range is made of the Far East so they’re a bit expensive compared to a Sire V7. They seem to be more popular in US than here, I’ve seen quite a few over on TB.

    I read quite a lot of reviews when I got Fralin P pickups put in my P bass. The only place that stocked them in the Uk then was Chandler’s Experience in Kew. This was over 10 years ago and the thought of changing them has never crossed my mind.

    I tend to agree. I think in this case the black hardware will make it more desirable but not necessarily increase the value.

    Its down to taste but the neck was bowed and the action high, it had a rough finish and the ergonomics didn’t work. The sound didn’t have any character either, complete opposite experience of the J relic which only has a photo here (the natural one) http://dubreuille-guitar.com/bass.html

    Played a reliced J type on Denmark Street and it was stunning - should have bought it. Then played the above bass and it was a dog.

    Idiots spending too much time “learning music”. The silly old man

    Don’t sell the thumb. I had to 9 years ago when I needed money but would now have to pay £1k more than I sold it for to replace it
  22. Mrbigstuff
    Bass direct recently had one at £1249 exl VAT. So s/h your probably looking at £800-£1k depending on condition. https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Warwick_Corvette_6_Natural.html

    I’ve got a Squier VMJ which really isn’t that great, and had an 80’s MIJ Tokai which again wasn’t great (couldn’t cut through any mix). However, I have also had a Sire V7 and would 100% have one again.
  24. Mrbigstuff
    Didn’t think Sire pickups were ever described as noiseless, mine was fairly noisy

    Anyone else check the classifieds to see what they’d missed and then quickly realise there is obviously nothing new?
