There's nothing like a Streamer Stage 1 5- or 6-string. Absolutely massive sound and a phenomenal tone from bottom to top. Problem is they're close to £3500 new now, about a grand more than a couple of years ago. For that money you can take your pick of NYC Sadowsky, Modulus, Dingwall, Roscoe, MTD, all of whom appear to be far more highly-regarded in the high-end custom market. Based on what's been said about stock policy, I can't believe Warwick's German operation will survive in its current form. How many Thumb Singlecuts do you think they've sold starting at nearly four grand?

They do - Precision or Jazz!

I used to have a BSR6 and asked for some Smith strings and polishing fluid. He replied a few days later with "We don't ship small orders internationally". I sold the bass not long after. I imagine Smith can't be bothered with their non-US customers as they do enough business inside the states. Guess which brand I will not be buying in the future?

Two interesting interpretations. Personally I'd write it with sixteenths and ties (beginning in 6/4) as there is so much backbeat throughout the track. Good luck doing some of those jumps to runs on a 5. There is a good version of this with the Camilo New York band on YouTube (complete with a minor mess-up!) - Anhony looks like he's reading it but plays most of the runs lower down on the top C string. Having also transcribed his parts on the rest of the album, there is some fabulous playing all round. I think the highlight for me is Caribe as it's just nuts!

Can't beat a Warwick with a wenge neck for growl and punch. That's a bubinga body though unless I'm much mistaken - and a nicely figured grain it has too.

What I want to know is why there are so many basses for sale in the For Sale section.

It basically allows for some flexible routing of one or more instruments to either one or both of the outputs, with 2 channels with independent volume controls.

Still has box and manual, same condition as purchased so I'd like £45 for it. Collection from New Malden or posted at cost.

Is this bass active as well? Is so whats the tone like?[/quote]

It has a fat, punchy P-bass tone, quite passive sounding. The Aguilar pre adds a bit of volume and the eq is pretty transparent, so you get more bottom, middle and top without changing the overall tone of the bass. Being ash and maple it has a nice edge to the note but is much smoother than, say, a Marcus Miller jazz.
