  1. From a fellow Stage II owner I can confirm this bass in a league above any other Warwicks, or any other bass I own or have owned, including a Warwick Jazzman, Musicman stingray, status basses, and others. The quality of sound is so good I've been known to record without a pre-amp. The bass is solid as a rock, never goes out of tune, and always looks good as the wood is so hard that it doesn't pick up dinks and scratches. Well worth the money if you can afford it - even if you have to sell off the rest of your bass collection!

    Best of luck with the sale Markus!

  2. [quote name='elsharko' post='521947' date='Jun 23 2009, 06:21 PM']serial number is T0453/381/101[/quote]

    Made in the first quarter of 2001 then.

    In my opinion better than the modern stuff, particularly the power section which is less noisy and more reliable than the modern Trace gear. The compressor works better as well.

    Good to hear you enjoyed the newer stuff. I'm enjoying my new series 1048H. :)[/quote]

    The 4x8 (4808) was originally manufactured as the extension cab to the 4808 V-type 4x8 combo in their 1996 - 1999 range. The July 1996 lists the price of these as £425, so get yourselves a bargain folks (and save on a lifetimes chiropractor fees!) :-)

    Best not to use this cab with another one then. If you connect this and an 8 Ohm cab you'll have a combined 2.67 Ohms! Or with another 4 ohm cab it'll be 2 Ohms! The Trace heads don't like anything below 4 Ohms as it'll overheat the power section, eventually leading to failure. Just letting people know in case they're planning on it! Only ever use a 4 Ohm cab with another if the head can take it, or you're in series (almost all bass cabs are wired parallel!)
