    Hey Matt, really sorry but I just can't part with the Stingray. It was a 40th birthday present from my wife and replaces the one I bought when I got my first record deal and sold when I was skint. Your Streamer however is just so perfect

    Hey Tom, no the teal Stingray is a keeper for sure. Are you wanting it back then? Thanks, this great is great and in the best colour ever.

    Sunday morning bump. I would take £800 for this but no less. Any one??

    To be honest I used to get this and still do very occasionally. The reason I got it was I use to play with a plectrum. After 23 years of doing that, I decided to move to fingers which was ok but I found that if I played anything fast or aggresive, my plucking hand just started to freeze and go numb. Thankfully I am aware of it and have tought myself to player softer, not dig in so hard and just relax. I don't reallt get it that much now, occasionally on the odd fast aggresive song. So maybe you were just digging in too hard and playing with too much enthusiasm.

    Weekend bump and now available for sale as well as trade.

    Wow, an SS1 for £430. Thats amazing although I got my Streamer LX Jazzman for £500 which is a bargain. An SS1 though is just crazy.

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1316691661' post='1381453'] No love for a 30th Anni Ray...? Fit in nicely with the Teal, just need a natural to make a traffic light. [/quote] HEHE I am afraid not, its Warwick all the way from now on

    [b]NOW WITHDRAWN - May consider new trades in the future.[/b] Up for trade or sale is my mint condition MIA Fender Jazz in Olympic white with rosewood neck and tort scratchplate. I bought it brand new from Bass Merchant in May this year so it is in mint condition. I have only used it once at an acoustic gig and the rest at home. It comes complete with the Fender hardcase, tools, tags, owners manual, strap, lead, cloth etc. In fact the accessories bag has not even been opened. The reason I am parting with it is I simply have no use for it as I play my Precision these days. As for trade I am looking for a Warwick Streamer SS1 in natural, a Warwick Streamer LX Jazzman, a Warwick Streamer LX in natural plus cash my way or possibly a Musicman Stingray in natural with maple neck. Let me know what you have and we can go from there. If for sale, then I have been told that around £850 would be about right so something around there would suit me. I am in Surrey so any trial/inspection is welcome. Please find below some pictures. If you require any others then just ask.

    [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1316684709' post='1381285'] Yes I have to agree , I love this combo but why the crap handle it really gets on my nerves , when all their other cabs have those inset handles .. [/quote] Yep have to agree also. In fact, the rubber on mine has started to split and crack which is very poor considering it less than a year old. I hope the rubber bit is just covering a more stable strap inside. Otherwise, if it snaps then I could be in for a bit of bother and pain if it falls on my foot or something.

    Yep, pictures and price please.

    [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1316676331' post='1381156'] I'd say put an a trade ad up and go for a SS1. The LX is nice, but really get an SS1 if you can. Trust me on this [/quote] HAHA ok, thank you

    [quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1316645931' post='1381026'] Yeah, that's about it. You wanna get it low enough for a *slight* buzz, but not enough to choke the string off. [/quote] Excellent, thank you. I will have a play tomorrow and report back. Cheers for the help everyone.

    [quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1316645660' post='1381020'] Hey guys! Aren't you worried (what, with all the threads on the subject) that, with all this chopping and changing basses, [b]you[/b] won't sound like ...[b]you[/b]? Cos it's a well known fact that yer sound comes from yer bass. So, it stands to reason that if you change yer bass, then, [b]you[/b] won't sound like[b] you[/b] any more. Actually, I have a favourite that I keep coming back to, a 1985 Warwick Streamer that Warwick have recently reworked and given a new lease of life. A couple of instruments haven't seen the light of day for 5 or 6 years. [/quote] Not overly worried as I have a couple of workhorses (Precision and Fretless Jazz) that still sounds like me as the tone is in the fingers or so I am told My other basses are just my bit of fun at home or when I want a bit of variety. Also, nothing wrong with changing your tone from time to time. I am going down the Warwick route at the moment and it compliments by normal tone. Still sounds like me just a bit different I guess or not as the case may be
  14. Linus27
    Ah ok, thank you. I was under the impression that the higher the action, the less mwah and sustain. Am I right that if you go too low, the string can become choked and lose sustain?

    I have a brand new 4 string MIA Fender Jazz in olympic white. I have only had it a couple of months and has only been used for 1 acoustic gig and the rest at home so it is in mint condition. It comes with the Fender hardcase, strap, tags, tools, lead and accessories etc. In fact, the accessories bag has never been opened. It was bought brand new from Bass Merchant. What do you think I should get for it if I sell it? I was thinking somewhere between £800 - £900. Is this a fair price? The reason I want to sell it is I have fallen in love with Warwicks and really fancy a Streamer. It seems that the SS1's are going for about £800 - £1000 so that would work out with maybe a little cash from me. However, I do have my heart set on a Streamer LX or Streamer Jazzman which do seem to be a lot less. Any ideas on what sort of value the Streamer LX and Streamer Jazzman seem to be at the moment. I was maybe think somewhere between £450 - £600. Would you say this is about right?

    [quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1316643013' post='1380982'] Is your action high on the Warwick?! [/quote] I would say average really. Maybe a little high. Its certainly not really low.

    I have three fretless basses, an ESP Jazz, a Stingray and now a Warwick Streamer LX Jazzman. All three have roundwound strings and are played pretty much with flat settings. My ESP 400 Series Jazz sounds totally amazing. Tones of mwah, sustain, vibrato and the full fretless thing down to a tee. The Stingray also sounds great and as a fretless should. My Warwick on the other hand has no mwah what so ever but sounds great but just like a fretted bass. Even if I try to accentuate some vibrato, not a lot happens. Sliding up and down to notes is also so very subtle. Don't get me wrong, the bass sounds totally amazing with lots of punch and growl as Warwicks do but it sounds just like a fretted bass, its so very weird. Is this normal for a Warwick or for some fretless basses? Would different strings make a big difference? I could possibly post some sound clips to show the difference.
  18. Linus27
    Yes and only tonight I played all but one of them.

    [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1316629406' post='1380703'] I forgot to say, the stand out talent of Nirvana (IMHO) was Dave Grohl. As I remember he was not with them the first time round on bleach, but at the second gig he was immense. He created a huge, huge sound. I think this elevated them up from others around them. And clearly post Nirvana he is an immensely talented guy. [/quote] Yep, have to agree with this. I also think Kurt was very talented as a singer and songwriter.

    I prefered Pearl Jam over Nirvana and the whole grunge thing. I liked grunge but found it all a bit noisy and messy. Pearl Jam seemed more mature and a bit more detached from the whole grunge thing. There songwritting is far more mature and skilled. They only got labelled grunge because they came from Seattle but in all honesty, Seatle had such a big music scene at the time that any band that came from Seattle at the time got labelled grunge. I nearly recorded my old bands first album at the London Bridge Studio is Seatle with Rick Parashar who produced Pearl Jam's "Ten" album. Despite it being very tempting to go to Seatle for three months to record our the first album, we decided as a band that it would not be wise to send a very green band all the way to a strange country to record their first album. We also wanted to record in the UK and retain an English sound rather than end up sounding very american. I think it was the right decision but looking back it would had been one hell of an experience.

    [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1316594784' post='1380000'] I have long term ambitions to acquire a symbiotic connection with the bass (like gits who are able just to pick up the damn thing and play the hell out of it as naturally as one might brush one's teeth). However, the only bassist I actively compete against is myself. By that logic therefore I am both the best and the worst bassist in this world view [/quote] Best answer so far
