The Heads Up Thread

Interesting. Thomann still has some Adam Clayton Reverso Artist Series basses on stock. Price is ok.

Warwick Thumb Bass NT4 aktiv
I really wanted to get this one! But it would take a few months to get the money together and i guess it will be sold before i have it all together. I want to share this offer with you anyway cause i hope someone else can afford it and will have fun with it.

Please be carefull thou, as offers this good tend to be fake although the seller seems okay (wrote a few messages with him)

Look what Thomann has in stock...

Warwick Fortress in „like new“ condition, looks nice! One of those with the deeper cuttings:

Warwick Fortess One E-Bass Bass Gitarre Made in Germany

 

[Hardy]

Very very early Buzzard in Moscow! It has some major dents, needs attention. Still fair priced at around about 2.650 EUR. Registration to contact the seller requires a russian telephone number as it seems.

That nice Fortress is down to 499 Eur:

Yeah, that was the one for sale a few years ago for 3.5k. People were scoffing at the price then. Haha

I'm not the seller, nor am I affiliated with them in any way, but here is a 1983 Warwick Nobby Meidel bass going for +/- €2200.

Very good price on a wall-destroyer amp combination. Too bad I'm not in need of such a big cab. The price on the head is killer, 399€...hhmmm...

Wow, that is one bass I would like to play!

I'm even left handed, really, but I was "assimilated" when I started violin as a kid (there was no way in hell my instructor was gonna let me play the "wrong" way), so unfortunately I cannot play what would most likely be more natural for me :/

@eyvindwa You're the Rafael Nadal of the bass world

 

[Hardy]

I had the same experience, even when I was 28 years old. My teacher told me that I anyway have to use both hands and that right handed basses are easier to find. This advice cost me a horde of bottle caps since then!

Haha, I had to Google to figure out who that is

Really? That is surprising, I thought the teachers these days were much more open to playing the way it is natural for us (I mean, there is probably a reason why instruments all over the world are made the way they are, even if both hands must be used to play them...).

Anyway, cool that we are in the same boat in this regard; cheers!

And you started playing at 28? If so, impressive to see how far you have come!

 

[DiMarco]

I am both left- and righthanded, but at different tasks.

I drum lefthanded but rightfooted (is that a word?)
I play righthanded guitars
I write lefthanded
I played righthanded badminton and baseball.

My brain is weird. I also can't focus when there is only one thing to work with on my mind - I have to work on several things at the same time to not get bored or nervous.

This is special. Although I doubt it is indeed walnut...
But any Thumb BO is arguably the single best fretless tone money can buy, in my book.
