    [quote name='bigthumb' timestamp='1395170800' post='2399459'] One of the nicest playing Warwicks I've ever owned. Only sold to Josh as I was out of work and if funds permitted I'd have it back NOW without question. [/quote] I'm in no major rush to move them on Paul so you never know [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1395185575' post='2399672'] £300 for a TRB1005 is an absolute bargain. Great basses. [/quote] Indeed, I bought it from Andy for £350 which in itself was a great price.

    SOLD.

    Evening all, I've actually be able to abstain from moving any basses on for quite some time but now I really feel like a change and would be happy to trade these both for something different. Both are great basses and have seen some good action but are both still working perfectly fine. [u][b]Warwick Streamer LX: SOLD[/b][/u] I got this from Bigthumb almost a year ago now and has been my main bass alongside my Squier. It is a 1997 model and has an all wenge neck and brass JAN, it also has recessed strap locks. For a bass that is now 17 years old, it has got a fair knocks and dings and some buckle rash, none of which affect the playability or adjustably of the bass. [u][b]Yamaha TRB 1005: SOLD[/b][/u] I bought this one from Phsycoandy about 5 months ago now. I had always been curious about the TRB's as they have a worthy reputation for being solid and reliable instruments which sound great in any musical setting. I've used it for some recent recordings and it sits perfectly in any mix and the playability of the bass is brilliant as well. As mentioned above, it has seen some action and as such there are a minor dings but again nothing serious and do not affect the playability or adjustability. (I hope Andy won't mind me using his pics temporarily until I get it back from the studio) [u][b]Trade bait:[/b][/u] Warwick Thumb BO/NT 4/5 string Warwick Streamer S1 4/5 string Fender Deluxe Jazz/Precision 4/5 string Fender USA Jazz 4/5 string Lakland JO 4/5 string Lakland 44/55-02 Spector Euro 4/5 string Fender Marcus Miller [u][b]Price:[/b][/u] Ideally I would like to trade both basses for one, I can also add money on top for the right deal as well. But if there isn't any interest in a trade then: Warwick - [b]SOLD[/b] Yamaha - [b]SOLD[/b] Collection would be preferred but I can post as well. I can provide some audio clips and more pics if required Thanks guys, Josh.
  4. The film is ridiculous, the concert side of it was alright but it is essentially a rehash of Cunning Stunts with the snake pit added and some fancy live effects like the electric chair and tesla coils for Ride The Lightning. The set list is pretty underwhelming when compared to other shows they played on the same tour. I would much rather watch CS because at least at that time they still sounded good live and Lars was still capable of staying in time and playing the songs 80% correctly. As for the Jason vs. Rob argument, Rob is the superior bassist but Jason commanded the audience a lot better and was great at backing vocals. Watching the videos of him playing with Metallica at their 30th anniversary really reaffirmed the difference Jason made to the band. Robs been with them for about 11 years now and it still doesn't feel like he's really in the band. I do find it odd that he seemingly must play a different bass on every song in the set.

    New Bass!

    For the money they are one of the best budget 5 strings out there. I had to put some classic control knobs and tort pick guard on mine though:
  6. I was the original owner of this bass I changed the stock high-mass bridge for a Hipshot B Style bridge for mainly aesthetic reasons but also for better adjustability. I still have the stock HM bridge if anyone would prefer it to the Hipshot. I think it aqquired that ding from being put on the over head rack on my train, it's nothing serious at all though and other than that it was in great condition when I moved it on to Duncan. This is a great bass and I'm sure whoever buys it next will be quite happy with it
  7. Depending on where and when this would be I would be quite interested to come along
  8. I had an American Special jazz, unfortunately the best thing about the bass was the neck which I eventually put on my Squier CV. The tone was quite underwhelming, it lacked warmth and punch which I attribute to the grease bucket tone control. Unlike a normal jazz with a tone control in which you're much more able to find a sweet spot for whatever tone you might need, the GB seems to give the tone a constant trebly zing which can't be cut fully. The playability was ok, the bridge is the same as the standard BBOT bridges on all MIM basses. Also, the truss rod adjustment is at the heel of the neck so that got annoying rather quickly whilst trying to set it up comfortably. Overall I found it to be a pretty uninspiring bass, compared to my Squier it really was disappointing and IMHO not worth it's price tag (£750-£800 new) which I unfortunately paid in full. Of course that's just my experience, I'm certain there are many others who really enjoy the American Special and have nothing but praise for them.
  9. Kev you are absolutely flying through Warwicks lately, I'm both jealous and in shock
  10. Don't mess with my old bass Compared to my other Squier CV with Wizard 64's there was very little in it, and I only added the hipshot bridge for aesthetics, I've still got the original HM bridge if you'd like to have it for completion.
  11. I recently bought Geoff's Digitech Digidelay pedal which unfortunately had developed a fault which was caused during postage, but he happily refunded me the money. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Geoff again though as he's very prompt with delivery and is a great chap to talk to
  12. It was definitely a P-Bass on the original recording.
  13. After quite sometime of being curious of TRB's, I found one for a great price and I must say I'm quite impressed:
  14. I must be in the minority of those who these guys do absolutely nothing for. Polished technique and slick production and arranging, but it's just too much for me to enjoy both as a musician and general listener.

    [quote name='AREA' timestamp='1382127843' post='2248538'] Why that? I received a few Basses from GB, here from Basschat Members. No Problem at all. Was fast and secure with Parcelforce. [/quote] It's not that at all mate, I've sold many basses to guys around Europe including Germany and I'm more than happy to do so again, it's just at current I don't have a hard case to ship the bass in and I would have to factor that in to the price as well as the postage and insurance.

    SOLD.

    [quote name='AREA' timestamp='1382124907' post='2248484'] Oh, I wish this would be available on the End of Nov. when I get my X-Mas Gratification. Would buy this in a Second.... [/quote] It may very well be here until then, but posting it to Europe might be a problem.
  18. [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1381755944' post='2243168'] I love St Anger... Seriously. One day, it will be understood. [/quote] St Anger is a tricky one, but it does actually boast some of Metallica's fastest songs and I can respect it for what it was and going by some of the demo songs that didn't make it on to the album it could've been far worse. I'll just say quickly that I'm a big fan and I genuinely enjoy each album in some way or another, but Master of Puppets is THE quintessential album. Although Lulu and Beyond Magnetic are painful and inexcusable.
  19. [quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1381561227' post='2240601'] I asked for people's opinion on a bass not to be slagged off. [/quote] You don't help yourself really though. My opinion is you've already said in the Warwick Love/Hate thread that you don't get on with the necks so I'd say save the hassle and save your money and buy your second/third King bass. Plus for the price you could find a proper Warwick Corvette secondhand.
  20. I'm biased as I have one (97 model as well) but I would recommend the Streamer LX. Having a PJ configuration you have all of the essential tones you may require, but infused with that classic Warwick growl and snap. From an aesthetic point of view the Streamer is more easier on the eye as well. If you're in a position to try both then I would serverely recommend you try both and decide for yourself.

    Hey guys, I've had this bass for a few months now and have really been quite impressed with it overall. For one of the projects I'm currently involved with, I've been using this bass primarily I have found that I need an active bass and I now have my eyes set on one the new TRBX's so the sale of this bass would go towards one. I bought it brand new from PMT Bristol and fortunately I have been able to keep it practically pristine aside from a few light surface scratches in the truss rod access. It came standard with chrome knobs and a black scratch plate, I changed the black plate for a custom BassDoc tort plate and I swapped the chrome knobs for some vintage jazz controls. Both the stock plate and knobs will be included in the sale.

  23. Love 'em! I must've had in the vicinity of 12 Warwicks, all of which were amazing basses. Besides a Corvette $$, they've all been either a Thumb or Streamer and have been from all different periods. As many have said, I think Warwick make some of the ugliest basses (Adam Clayton & Stuart Zender sigs anyone?) but will all still in some way produce that classic Warwick growl which I will always love. If I could I would have another NT Thumb bass, everything about the Thumb is just right for me, the aesthetics and that mid range snarl just work together perfectly. I blame Ryan Martinie for my years of striving after a Thumb. I would love another SS2 in time when I can find one that isn't over £1400, I had one briefly but never put it to its paces.
