The shape of the MVP is lovely, and IMO spoiled by a burst finish as it makes those lovely gooey horns less obvious. Its in-your-face looks are great, but more importantly it's had some serious upgrades. I'll be happy for SW when it sells, as it's been on there for ages and he's been pissed about a fair bit, but will also be a bit sad that it's not going to me. [/quote] Well I admit that its not everyones cup of tea, but I wish people would make their mind up before contacting me! I know a deal is not done until its done, but its incredibly frustrating the amount of people who said they would take it, only to turn around a couple of days later, sometimes after i had paid for a courier to say they no longer want it. Lots of people loved the finish when I showed it to them, and said they would love to own it, but those same people are now refusing good trade offers for it. Its amazing how two-faced people have been with me in Pms. Ah well. I have seen something I like so had to reduce the basses price again. And to people who think they would look silly with the finish, it makes you look fun, not silly!

I blame saturation of the marketplace coupled with fashion. Warwicks are not particularly fashionable at the moment and anyone who wants a Warwick probably already has one. If they dont have one there are plenty for sale from people who decide it "Wasnt for them" I would love one, but I have an even more undesirable Pedulla to shift

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1342611674' post='1737809'] Everything points to them being allen key adjustment. Speak to overwater for estimate, tap him up for the cash for fix, means no more hassle his end. [/quote] Claims he has no cash.

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1342611179' post='1737789'] Why would the chap want to pretend it was broken? Not easy to repair. [/quote] Trying to possibly get out of an agreed trade after I spent money for travel to pick the bass up. Any ideas?

Heya guys. Just been sent photos of this Overwater. It looks to me like the nut has just been taken off to make it seem like its broken. But I have no idea if Overwater use a Socket style or nut style truss rod adjuster. The guy claims the nut has been sheared off. [attachment=113453:broken-truss.jpg] Basically Is this broken? If so, how easy would it be to repair?

[quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342573994' post='1737364'] [i]Chances are (And your probably aware) no one has likely played one here. So all we have to go on is specs on the site. And Oli knows what he is talking about. [/i] Ummm that's why I posted about it??? What is wrong with the specs on the site?? [font=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]- 200 watts (class AB)[/font] [font=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]- 3-12AX7, 4 fan-cooled KT88s - SIngle channel with active and passive inputs - Master volume - 3 position midrange tone selector, push-pull bass and brite boost - 4x10 Celestion Truvox 1020 speakers, tuned port enclosure - Head dimensions: 20"W x 10"H x 11 1/2"D; Weight: 50lbs. - Cabinet dimensions: 24"W x 24"H x 19"D; Weight: 78lbs.[/font] I personally would put my live performance with this rig over dry specs, which seem just fine to me, Thanks. Jeesh. And let Oli take his opinions and differences in build philosophy up with the builder, considering he's not heard of/seen Jaguar before, and his recommendation to a "sludge-driven rig" makes me wonder... And Oh BTW- I think Henry Clift knows what he's talking about too. Otherwise, he'd probably be OOB, eh? [/quote] I really cant be bothered to argue with you about this. Oli gave a legitimate opinion based on the description given. You asked for opinions and he gave it. No reason to go ultra defensive and ask him to take it elsewhere, where you yourself invited opinions in the first place. Also Jerome Preston is the bass player for Maceo Parker. Surely must know him considering you posted that video?

[quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342478290' post='1736023'] No affiliation with the Company, had this amp built for me a few years back after meeting/talking with the owner at NAMM: 4xKT88's 4x10 Celestion-loaded cab. Whaddya think? [/quote] [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342549428' post='1736988'] Why not PLAY THROUGH and really examine a rig before you pass some kind of judgement based on a "blurry gut shot" and your interpretation of his build specs. I bet the Builder could chime in here and engage on a technical level; I won't and don't care to. If this rig was/is not to your liking- That is fine. [/quote] Why ask for peoples opinion on something, only to rip into someone who gave their opinion because its slightly negative? Doesn't work like that, going ultra defensive when confronted with legitimate points. Chances are (And your probably aware) no one has likely played one here. So all we have to go on is specs on the site. And Oli knows what he is talking about.
