The oxide I had (2013 build) was very high gain as I recall, as with all the IE units I have had (pretty much all). Either the circuit was revised or you have a faulty unit, ask Taylor the question, the answer would probably help your sale!

Really good buy, this. Can't see what the likes of a Wren &Cuff TFR would have over this, the tonal options are great and it's a really nice build.

Is it this one? http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_alien.htm

Lovely looking bass! Certainly would be the acoustic I would choose!

I'm going to go 89-90. Purely cos if you were taking something to NAMM you would be showing off your latest basses... which wouldn't have dots on the finger board.... that's my logic anyway.

I would be really surprised if it was an eighties bass with the clip on control plate [i]and[/i] MEC pickups rather than EMG, i havn't seen a pre-1991 thumb without screws as i recall. My 1990 thumb definitely did, and i believe your 1992 Streamer definitely doesn't.

With regards to the fretboard dots, i think that is a red herring, what with the block inlay at the bottom and all.

Great muff bump

To echo others, it should still work just fine, but i wouldn't see a benefit in doing it. Have you looked at other power solutions if you want the tidy board i.e. the various bricks? This thing worked great for me before i upgraded to a Gigrig setup [url="http://www.dawsons.co.uk/dr-tone-psu10-power-supply"]http://www.dawsons.co.uk/dr-tone-psu10-power-supply[/url]

moved factory mid 1992 init, lots of changes... You going to go early or late 1992 ? . ....Roon don't mind us, it s all bumps!
[/quote]

Haha, okay, i would say this would be a NAMM piece that followed the move, so winter Namm 1992

A quick hunt on Wikipedia (the well known fountain of all knowledge) states that phONE day where we got the 1 in the area code was 1995, so i'm would guess it is defo pre 95 at least!!!
[/quote]

I love trying to date basses I'm going to plump for the earlier date of my estimation, 1992.

Yes, but good karma will reward you in the future....

Yeah, but good Vindaloo certainly will not...

Unless they send you the money for postage [i]before[/i] you send them back, i wouldn't do it. But fair play for being honest; again i wouldn't have been But i'm a terrible person.

Sadly Warwick are hopeless in dating their own older basses, as there reply would indicate

The compartments mean it is a nineties or later bass, is the preamp 9v or 18v? I suspect 9v, and looking at the neck, i would say it was made sometime between 1992 and 1997.

Pics? Use photo bucket.

I would happily walk to Dusseldorf in flippers and carry that thing back the same way if I had £2200
[/quote]

If i gave you the £2200, would you make a video diary?

Beast of a setup and i certainly did not want to suggest otherwise! Out of interest, what kind of total weight are we talking?

the Phat Phuk B is a great pedal with a great sound, however it does have a serious lack of flexibility compared to other pedals so i saw little use for it in the end really. The Cream Pie's that are for sale at the moment on the forum would be much better choices.

One half of my new Cog custom build (18v Knightfall) should hopefully provide the grit i need!

The MEC pickups would almost certainly make it a 1990 or newer... Is the control plate on the back clipped on or screwed on? Screwed on would indicate it being pre 1991 or so I believe. Battery compartment?

Good luck with the sale, but you know this is a UK forum, right? Collection only may be a problem!!

Bear in mind that fuzz doesn't work well with tweeters/horns. Not to say you can't use fuzz with horns but in my experience the best fuzz sounds I've gotten are from cabs without them.
[/quote]

I certainly agree that fuzzes can sound [i]entirely [/i]different depending on what cab you put them through. I'v not tried a fuzz through my PJB Six Pak yet and i have a Cog Custom being built, so i am excited to see what the 5" speakers do!

That looks very familiar to me...I've seen it advertised before but before 2007.
[/quote]

I think the strap button position would put it a fair bit earlier (is it a just a nut I as well?), but it's always difficult with painted Warwicks!

Anyway, lovely bass, good luck with the sale

If the electronics are standard (not saying that all early 90's would be especially on a NAMM/custom model), it should be 2 band EQ with a vol and pan pot. I've never encountered a Jazz style 2 pup system on a Warwick that would have TWO push pulls (the Dolphin among others has two but one is active/passive and the other is for a coil tap on the rear double/triple coil pup). Do both pots do something or is it a case of someone fitting a push/pull pot because they had nothing else available or they had taken the preamp/pots from another bass?
[/quote]

That's a better way of putting it

Sadly neither have the patience nor conviction for saving. Credit card or finance deals has been the way for me.

2 push pulls? Pass, unless i'm having a dense moment that is a first for me on a Thumb, apart from a ltd i remember that had push pull dual/single coil on the bass/treble pot?

Are you sure about that preamp?? It looks to me like it will be the two band preamp with volume and blend, with push pull EQ on/off (never passive, will always need a battery).

Sold an Aguilar Cab to Matt, really patient guy, couldn't post for a week or so and he had no complaints. Seems happy, great deal!

Grabbed a Polytope off me the same day i listed, paid and sent a day later, no problems at all!

Cheers Bob!

I thought she had a lovely voice.
[/quote]

She wasn't a bad singer, but nothing special. Every year there must be hundreds of girls who can sing in just the same style that don't get through because they just aren't good enough, but a sob story is enough to firstly give her sympathy in the first place, and secondly to add extra apparent emotion to the song/her voice that more thank likely wouldn't have been there or recognised had she not told the story first! The point is, i very much doubt she would have been put through if she would have just turned up and sung. I don't blame her, obviously the producers of the show ask them to tell these stories and the judges are briefed before they come in, it's a criticism of the show.
