    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1378842965' post='2205525'] 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. [/quote] my streamer's a 1991 yeah - maybe you're right - I still think it would be pre1992.... can i come play it roon?!

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1378763582' post='2204535'] Haha, okay, i would say this would be a NAMM piece that followed the move, so winter Namm 1992 [/quote] 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.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1378758199' post='2204421'] I love trying to date basses I'm going to plump for the earlier date of my estimation, 1992. [/quote] 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!

    about 5 years back the BBC scotland ran this really low budget program called the music show - it was amazing - everything jools isn't but used to be - a studio, a sound set up a band or two and some cameras - utterly unpretentious, utterly un showbiz and tottally about the music... later, now- has no soul.

    For me... really just an old Thumb bass, the first bass I got to play was a 5 string thumb so they have always been my dream bass. Like most folk I've not much money really to sink in so will rely on selling stuff first, but alas the plan to buy the awesome 1986 JD thumb I had seen fell through months ago when no one wanted anything I was selling ach well - one day, it's my 30th next year and already started priming the wife I may save up for something...... other that that I'm sorted! There is a half curiousity about other amp setup - ideally a Bergantino IP powered cab and some kind of nice preamp/DI to feed into it. That gas is tamed by.... the fact that i never see them up for sale... [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1378647549' post='2202727'] Modulus Flea Bass please! I got the GAS, got the cash, but ain't got the bass [/quote] looking at your sig... all vintage fender and then a jump to a flea bass... bit of a jump in style there! [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1378658243' post='2202870'] A Lake Placid Blue, matching headstock jazz bass with rosewood 'board, pearloid block inlays and cream 'board binding... Lightly relic'd. [/quote] seen the Steed Herbie Hancock bass that molan is selling at Bass Direct? YUM! [quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1378723108' post='2203589'] A fretless!! Recently made a fretless neck for a G&L and it got me hooked on the fretless sound and feel! Now to pick out some woods! [/quote] Dear lord, i need to be prepared for pages and pages of wood porn on the alpher facebook page then! [quote name='ordep' timestamp='1378730640' post='2203775'] Tecamp Puma head and Bergantino cabs. [/quote] cool- which Puma amp would you go for? and the current ones or the powersoft ones?

    [quote name='roonjuice' timestamp='1378675099' post='2203201'] the paint is too thick to make out either way, and is 9v pre luke, if you are in leeds i could bring it over for you to have a look? It does have the "monkey business" sticker on the head stock with a phone number pre "1" in the area dial code, e.g 0904 instead of 01904? Don't know if thats really relevant tho! [/quote] would I be able to find a non visible serial? Nope. Would it help your sale? Prob not, Would I like to have a play.... Yep :-)

    If I were you I would be emailing John East and seeing what custom lovelyness he could make for you.
  13. LukeFRC
    i then to have the problem that my tshirt hangs between bass and belt. The belt is fine but the amount of tiny holes I get in my tshirt drives me mad

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1378672350' post='2203160'] 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. [/quote] they moved the serial in 92 didn't they? Roon, does it look like its been painted over on the end of the headstock or the back in between the tuners?

  16. LukeFRC
    my guess is it's a strat...?
  17. LukeFRC
    unless he's trying to fish out a face to face sale to avoid ebay fees?
  18. LukeFRC
    is it a guitar or a bass, I couldn't work that out.....
  19. LukeFRC
    ... you rent your wife out for what????! .....
  20. LukeFRC
    bottom end of the bottom end warwick made when they were churning out lots. Good price still
  21. LukeFRC
    while a fair bit above my buying power - it's a very pretty bass isn't it?
  22. LukeFRC
    i've often wondered why some british luthier doesn't make a bass totally of native woods.
  23. LukeFRC
    about a year to save up for my ACG preamp in my warwick - kept blowing the money on other things like engagement rings. When I eventually sold enough other stuff to justify buying it I wasn't even sure I wanted it anymore but the stubbon "well I got this far 4 times so I may as well" prevailed. Turned out to be a good move. Getting married was also nice
  24. LukeFRC
    last two digits of the serial is it's birth year. First letter it's month. Often you can't make them out on the painted ones!
  25. LukeFRC
    If I were going to spend 900 on a MIM fender I would for sure want my photos of it instagramed
