  1. Afternoon, all. I have happened across what claims to be a Warwick Streamer STD on my travels. Two MEC humbuckers, VVT passive controls, jack on the front, single-piece bridge - it all seems to tally with what I've been able to find on Google, here and the Warwick site. However, the body appears (to my admittedly untrained eye) to be bubinga. It's that dark reddish brown colour that everyone imagines when you say Thumb or Corvette. Now, it could be a stain, but I can't find details of the colours that were offered on the STD range - any ideas? From my limited researches, the interweb suggests that the Streamer STD is better than a Rockbass, but not as good a Proline. Is this a fair assessment? I had a couple of minutes hands-on with it and it played beatifully, so would quite like to take my interest further, but would like a bit more knowledge before I commit myself!
  2. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  3. Gah, if this was the 115 or 210 I'd be biting your arm off! GLWTS.
  4. Jonathan was a pleasure to deal with in the sale of my Fretless P-bass, and a really nice chap to boot. Enjoy it!
  5. Again with the bumpings. This needs to get gone so open to offers...
  6. Now sold for depressingly little. Cab still available...
  7. I have an GK MB500 and 212 cab (funnily enough, you can view them in the classifieds... ) and although I don't play punk, I've never struggled for volume playing just with back line. I played rock - QOTSA etc. With that cab the MB500 is pushing out 350w at 8ohms, and I've never needed to put it up above about half-way, so I dread to think what would happen if I put another cab in the mix and got the full 500w...
  8. Right, got out the measuring tape and the cab dimensions (corner to corner) are: 53cm wide (i.e. horizontally across the face), 41cm deep (i.e horizontally from front to back) and 65cm high (plus castors). Those measurements seem weird because I did it across the corner bumpers (being their widest points). A pic of the rear plate suggests it's probably not a Neo II, as I presume it would say as much: The manual I have found online [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/manuals/Neo%20OM.pdf.pdf"]suggests weight is 64lbs[/url], though I haven't the facilities to weigh it.
  9. I will have a look tonight. Presumably if it were the newer one it'd say summat like 'Neo II' or some such? I suspect it's not though.
  10. Thanks ET. I put the fretless neck back on it last night and it's a real wrench to see it go- it plays beautifully. I spent at least five minutes just doing slides up and down the neck in the style of many a 70's cop show! The neck is quite shallow front to back so very comfortable to play.
  11. Some interest but nothing firm yet. For the money, this is an absolute steal - not one of the MBE range, but a proper, full-fat, Neo-driver'd 600w beast of a cab!
