I've got one - decent for the money and will power the pedal at correct voltages - albeit the isolated output marketing is rather misleading. I think there are two "banks" that may be electrically isolated, but each output definitely is not! It has introduced a bit of a noise floor to my pedals - so eventually I decided to do this properly and bought a One-Spot Pro CS12. It's not terrible but enough to bother my obsessive nature

Definitely not bad to arrange and power a "larger" pedalboard, but you get what you pay for in this case, including a European wal-wart supply in my case. I did end up running a on-off 12v inline switch between the wall adapter and the brick, to be able to switch off the power without having to unplug it each time.

In summary, good stop-gap solution, but one you'll likely want to replace sooner rather than later...

yup someone got a great deal. I sold mine for more than that without the hardcase.

Looks in good nick and at £100 well worth a punt IMO!

Neil had sent me some potentiometers and wire as a freebie from the "recycling" forum - and had even paid postage himself. Many thanks.

Buzzing could be caused by either excessive wear to first fret - i.e. that the F fret is always too low... however, if the neck relief is too far forward, this may also cause the fret to buzz. Measure the relief to decide if this is the case, and *maybe* try a small trussrod adjustment... In my experience, Warwick alloy fretwire holds up quite well... but if you're not sure definitely get a professional to look at it!

1991 Warwick, I guess that means MEC as opposed to EMG? Could be soldering, or knackered pickup..... however if it's a 4 string SS1, then you'll have a P in the neck, which will always sound louder, so to get the two to balance, you may actually need to try lowering the P.

Hope this helps!

the P bass looks amazing! what's the bridge pickup?

the designs look great, looking forward them coming to life

.....must resist.... someone please buy this ASAP... GLWTS

You are aware that, providing they were built in the same revision, the circuits are identical, so a flat EQ B7K in turn would sound just as tight as a B3K? The bells and whistles of the B7K all come after the drive circuit, with the EQ circuit flat they sound identical. This is based on experience and owning a B3K and B7K of the same revision at the same time.

I owned an older B7K and a new B3K. Clearly YMMV

It's a very effective tool, if not very "pretty" sounding, IMO. Good to hear you got an excellent recorded tone!

great pedal

Seriously top-notch work!!

Kept the B3K, sold the B7K. Tighter sound, less knobs, and better EQs out there (IMO).

As much as I love GK stuff, it does seem to be a bit of a confused design - not sure if it's trying to be a desktop or a pedalboard unit....

Looks like a really tidy defret job!

one of the best looking single-cuts I've seen! GLWTS

The picture reminds me of a biscuit tin... probably not a good thing. Maybe it's time for lunch...

killer bass

I would add to this discussion that we don't really know Warwick's cost-base or, "opportunity cost" - what else the same employees can create during the same man-hours. It may genuinely cost them several times more to pull out from a standard manufacturing process to address a non-standard job than it would a smaller, local luthier, whose business consists of such commissions. Warwick may pay their employees more or their carbon-neutral facility may just cost more to run

Ultimately it's a business decision - and, as a business, if you don't really want the work but still have to quote for it, you may decide to price it highly (i'm not saying that's necessarily the case here, though). I think that would reflect the direction of the business and how much the customer really wants the "brand XYZ" experience....

Glad the OP got the bass sorted at a good price.

Picked up 20-years' worth of Sound on Sound magazines that Cliff was very kindly giving away. Really appreciate it, many thanks and all the best!!

... and gone, by the looks of it!

Hughes & Kettner Tubemeisters have "redbox" DI output, which also simulates the speaker..... sounds great! Also has built-in attenuator for quiet stage volume.... but unless you want to drive a cab onstage, a decent multi-FX / modeller should do the same job nicely, at lower cost + less gear-lugging.

looks fixed voltage.

I have a UK voltage REDDI, so at least one such unit exists

Certainly their cab simulation are very very strong, so would expect this to be another high-quality product :-)
