[quote name='jimbobothy' timestamp='1408185933' post='2527892'] PM'd I think I'll be having this one as it'll go nicely alongside my fretless Thumb BO Broadneck !! Also as far as I know these weren't custom orders, just weren't asked for that much so not many made. If you put in the serial numbers of this LX and my Thumb (F10742604) into the Warwick serial number checker ([url="http://www.warwickbass.com/en/Warwick---Support--Serial-Number.html#current_site_id"]http://www.warwickba...current_site_id[/url]) there is no mention of either of them being a custom version. Also the article numbers, when put into google do come up with references to both the basses being broadnecked versions. Anyhow nice bass either way [/quote] In hindsight, you are probably right in that they were not custom orders as such, just less common that the standard neck width (Broadneck is the standard with SSI's)

Makes more sense nothing more to add really! However the neck/pickups still confuse me, looks like a custom order as I don't ever recall a broadneck (20mm) as a standard option for an LX. Nice bass!

This is interesting....a broadneck Streamer LX with a JAN I from 2010? What is the serial?

Nice bit of 'wick history there, not too many BO (non LX) Streamers about

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1407878764' post='2525069'] It's turning into a sort of discussion about HPW's skills and know-how... certainly out of topic and not very interesting for me The bass is still available, though. Several offers but it's still here. [/quote] I agree and apologise for derailing, I should know better If I don't end up being the buyer, GLWTS!

Okay, he certainly built early Warwicks bud, why do you think otherwise, out of interest? Perhaps a conversation for a different thread, but I am curious Hope John doesn't mind, but here is an extract of email sent to him from Hans about Thumb 6 #27... [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][font=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif][i]...indeed your Bass is one of the first Thumb NT 6 strings I made by my self....

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1407875524' post='2525014'] As I said, no chance Hans Wilfer had something to do with the build of this bass. He's a businessman, not a luthier by any means. But yeah, I think this is a nice collectors item (and of course a very nice sounding and playing instrument). [/quote] Not true, that one. It is quite possible he was involved in making this. He built the other 88 thumb 6 that was sold on here a while ago, had an email from the man himself saying so

9v standard boss type. I believe both drive circuits are fitted with an 18v voltage doubler inside for extra headroom

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1407696587' post='2523130'] It's H007 88. [/quote] ahhh, birth year thumb alert! There is a chance a bass purchase may fall through, if it does I could well be getting in touch about this!

Lovely bass! But let's keep trade offers to pm only please, folks

Another pedal I have literally just picked up, however my Darkglass pedals give me the drive sounds I need and, as amazing as this is, it is overkill for me! You know what this is, guys on Talkbass love it and rave about its versatility. Basically the swiss army knife of drive pedals. Two drive circuits, bass signal is split depending on the frequency set with the crossover control, so allows you to distort the low and high end completely separately. Almost any drive sound can be emulated with this thing, including Darkglass B3K/B7K sounds and wonderful valve type overdrive. http://youtu.be/xItfn5_gxr4 In mint condition and comes with box, manual and some setting examples. He is only selling these direct at the moment AFAIK, you are looking at $299.99 plus ~$30 shipping and another $70-$80 in customs fees, however I am only looking for the bargainous price I paid, £180 shipped in the UK.

As if this is back to haunt me! I can't play fretless, I can't play fretless......

That is a superb price!

[quote name='dodge_bass' timestamp='1407681752' post='2522926'] Any interest in any of those items I listed above? [/quote] Keep trade offers to pm please Best overdrive pedal ever made, superb. And by a company run by excellent people too

Bought this on a whim only last week to give it a whirl, however I prefer my WMD filter so this will now have to go! Good condition and works perfectly, comes in a MXR Line Driver box, if that sort of thing bothers you! Looking to get back what I paid, so £SOLD shipped in the UK Cheers!
