Insane price. Used warwick prices do favor the buyer. I wonder if/when the used prices will rise..

Re: NBD: 1990 Warwick Thumb NT 5

Absolutely beautiful! Gotta love those early warwicks. Dotted fretboard and all. Can you post some picks from the back side too? :)

Its funny cause just literally now Im playing my thumb nt5 after some truss rod tweaking.

Congrats for your new bass!

Re: Fender Mustang Bass Lefty

Been looking for one for some time too. I remember Arni had a red one with the racing stripe. I wonder if he sold that one.

I tried a lefty -78(?) mustang bass at bass gallery london few years back. Black one with maple board. I kinda liked it but didnt buy it right away. Couple of days later it ...

Re: 1982 set neck Carvin LB-50 body and neck project

To me that kind of serious crack in the neck seems like a serious force has hit that neck. Maybe it has been thrown off stage by someone? :shock: If you look closely at the headstock photo there is a crack there too?

Re: MIM Fender Jazz in Sage Green or Agave Blue

Holy shit. $900 for an MIM??

Yea that's pretty steep for a MIM, although the seller is open to offers.
New Player MIM's have had at least 3 price increases since they were first introduced at $599.
and now retail for $749.

I've noticed that prices for both new and used basses have risen fairly ...

Re: ¿¿ Lefty Guild Starfire I bass ??

Looks good to me!

Good price too. Short scale, p bass pickup. I bet it sounds great with flats!

A couple of options like that on the market (schecter banshee, mike watt signature) but this is a hollow body.

Not sure if I like the bridge though.

Would be nice to get to try one when it hits the ...

I left that to a professional. He got the fretboard off with heat, a wedge, and a lot of patience. Came out great, though.


Sure looks great!

Re: Worth having a cheap bass for travel?

In the past I have used my Danelectro long horn when I needed to fly. It has a 30 inch scale and it fits into a guitar gig bag. Used just to carry it into the plane.

(Now I would propably just buy any decent (used) 34 inch bolt on neck bass and screw the neck off before flight, fold the gig bag to ...

Re: Fender Japan JB Fretless

I have played one just like that. There wasnt really nothing special about it. Pretty much same quality as my long gone basswood fender japan jazz. (Not saying this bass is not worth checking out) What makes it a custom shop? Fender japan used to make all kinds of basses in the 90s and early 2000s ...
