[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1504179333' post='3363179'] I read it as "the first fretless manufactured by Indie", rather than a claim to being the first fretless manufactured by anyone. [/quote] yeah that is what the "certificate" states...

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1502915725' post='3354409'] Yeah ace - will attack with aplomb Tomorrow. Will talk to my mate who's a yammy dealer - don't know why I didn't think to ask him. [/quote] Yamaha have excellent supplies of spares for instruments of all ages. If you contact them directly they will put you in touch with a stockist but be warned they aren't cheap. Think my replacement battery case with lie for my TRB5II was about £25.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1502725552' post='3353131'] Another suggestion would be a[b] Warwick Stage 1 Streamer Broad Neck...[/b] [/quote] I concur, but then again I may be a little biased!

The other option is to shot-blast it to remove the gold hardware. I've done it with the gold hardware of my old Streamer and it looks so much better and cost me nothing as I can do it myself at work!

Yeah, clearly they made a mistake with the serial number and you are far better off believing the info on the neck plate because there is no way anyone could have swapped that...

If it is any help, [quote name='Dudgeman' timestamp='1498957901' post='3328259'] Hi all I recently bought an old Streamer std German made Warwick with a pair of MEC vintage style HB PUs. I was looking for a double buck but this came up super cheap so i have refinished and done some work on it. Pics will come at some point!! Each PU has a red/green/white/black and braid wires. My intention is to fit an EMG preamp (old BTS) that i have knocking around. So if all is well i will end up with vol/vol/bass/treble. So questions. Can I add 2 3 pole switches like the double buck and wire the same so i can expand the tone by running PU's in series /parallel/etc?? If so can anyone supply me with a double buck wiring diagram as I am struggling to find one. If this can't be done can someone give me a wiring diagram for wiring it straight to the preamp wiring. I have found a wiring diagram from EMG.. (it is the old BTS system with a small board)..i understand how to solder the BTS to a JP config ( that's what I had before) but with so many wires coming from the PU's...i am finding it a bit confusing as to which wire would go where... I hope this makes sense and is achievable.. . I am hoping as always that someone here can help. Cheers all. [/quote] If it is any help I recently did excatly the same thing(I have added two DPDT (on-on-on) switches) with my '93 Streamer broadneck. Mine has bart soapbars but the wiring scheme and low output sounds much the same as your situation. You may find the info in the pdf below useful in terms of switiching/wiring option - starts on page 2. https://www.bartolini.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/4-Conductor-Wiring-Diagram.pdf

Close to owning my first ever Fender but missed out with 2 seconds to go dammit!

I cant believe Jaydee havent had a letter from Alembic's lawyers!

Hope you know a good chiropractor!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-Twin-Neck-Thumb-Bass-/263120657711?hash=item3d43369d2f:g:2rkAAOSw6KVZgfz5

this is why I use steel wool when cleaning frets, no need to mask the fretboard off as it cleans the fretboard as well - you do need to mask the pups off though.

Fine steel wool will also do a good job. 00 or finer grade.

Uniross NiMh for me

Well the guy that built it is named [i][b]Junk[/b][/i] Montague so that probably explains a lot, including his understanding of intonation, or lack there of...

Would be interested to see some photos. The pups on my Aria Super Bass looked sealed but it was just a metal plate glued in place which was removed with a little care. Underneath were two jazz coils and i was able to extract them to effect a repair.
