LeftyJ Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I always take pictures of my basses on the wooden floor, but I made an exception for this duo when the light was perfect: Both are early 00's Warwick Streamer LX's. Solid flamed maple body, chunky ovangkol neck with wenge fingerboard, and the stock MEC electronics. The 5-string had its worn gold hardware replaced with black. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineweasel Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I like the fretless. Did you specify it yourself as a custom order? Looks like it has a 3 band EQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US Jazz is lovely too, pictures don't do the colour justice and the neck feels fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patch006 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) After having had many many basses, these are the keepers and the elixir of bass ! Bass 1 ACG custom 5 string, 2nd and 5 owner 🤣. This had really light strings on it the first time I had it and I didn't think of changing them, just didn't get the sound out of it I wanted. Second time round put new thicker gauge on it as soon as I had it back and it was a completely different beast. Blooming love it now. Bass 2 Fender Jazz bitza, 1968 original neck , body unknown if real been messed with a lot. 1976 / 1982 pickups / newish John east pre. Sounds awesome. BITBY those sandbergs are awesome - the fretless is one of the best I've ever played. Basses I would like to have back 1 ) Anaconda 4 string fretless ( owned by BITBY also) 2) mayones Jabba custom 4string ( same as profile pic but lefty) / sold this on Ebay and the guy still has it - he has refused every year since to sell it back to me probably 15 years ago! 🤣. If anyone knows where the Anaconda is please let me know Edited June 6 by patch006 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonin-in-the boneyard Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Yeah the Sandberg fretless is great really happy I've got it back 👍 The Anaconda is on reverb https://reverb.com/uk/item/78699791-anaconda-bass-custom-j-fretless-left-handed-2015-natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patch006 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Wow thanks for that. That is double what I sold it for, I like it but not that much 🤣 It always has been a strange market. Buying from main land Europe is just not a option anymore it seems. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm moving house soon and starting to get scared of all the stuff I need to buy. Might be making some tough decisions on scaling back music gear. The HB was so cheap new it's probably not even worth selling. But the JC might go, and a lot of effects, and my electric guitar... Keeping the dog though.

I tried tapewounds first expecting them to sound great, it came with rounds but I didn't like that...Maruszczyk flats and it's heaven. I've even slapped it a little with those on!
