    Sold my Warwick to Nick today. Very easy transaction and wouldn’t hesitate to buy from/sell to again. Hope the gig goes well tonight!

    I think you may be slightly mis-reading the text. In other blurb and in interviews with Mr Jackson a single truss rod placed in a proprietary location is mentioned (whatever that means). On a more obvious level, the pics in the first link show a truss rod cover at the headstock end...

    It looks much darker in the flesh. The pics were taken in bright sunlight to show the lovely wood grain. It’s not really a maple top either - it’s at least half the thickness of the body. A great, versatile bass!

    Condition: used, needs a clean. No! Really?

    I should add that £1000 is indicative trade price. As I said, I’d much rather trade for a Streamer Stage 1 5-string, but would accept offers around the £900 mark for a straight sale.

    MM pickup now sold. Just the J at £40 left.

    Now sold.

    Hate to say it but... wrong drummer?

    Er... Alain Caron, years and years ago. More to the point: why would you want to? Personally despite the technical prowess in the link above it sounds awful. Very little musical substance, just fancy technique.

    SOLD I recently picked up this excellent 2011 Custom Shop Warwick Streamer Jazzman LX 5-string. It sounds great and is very versatile, however I've sadly come to the conclusion that I prefer the 20mm spacing on my Stage One 6. Specs are: Swamp Ash body AA Flamed Maple top Ovangkol Neck Ebony Board MEC MM/J pickups with MEC 3-band EQ Black hardware Just A Nut III Brass Rock case flight case Warwick User Kit with manual and Custom Shop Certificate This was in quite a state when I got it, and has had a new bridge and tailpiece, a couple of new tuners (just paint wear, no damage) and I put the original MEC pickups back in and had a full fretstone and setup done with new DR Hi-Beam 45-105. I'd much rather trade this for a Streamer Stage 1 5-string rather than sell as I still want to have a 5-string. I'm not interested in anything else for trade. Given the size and weight when packed in the flightcase, and the lack of reliable shipping insurance for instruments, it will either be collection from Surrey, or I can meet at a main London train station. Thanks for looking!

    £15?
  15. FDC484950
    £75 for both. £40 each.
  16. FDC484950
    I’ve found bass direct pricing so on reflection, revised prices: £90 for both posted or £50 each posted.

    MM sold, just the J left I have for sale two Delano pickups that came from my recently acquired jazzman 5. Delano MC5HE/S-L - EB - bridge MM style 5-string humbucker wired for coiltap parallel/single coil/series with EB cover (makes it a direct replacement on a stingray 5 I believe) Delano JC5HE/D - neck stacked coil 5 string single coil width They’re very nicely made and fully-shielded, so should be quiet. I can’t find a UK selling price for these new but bassparts.de sells the, for €248, so I’d imagine about £215 new. I’ll offer them for £120 posted to mainland UK, or £65 each posted.

    Sold a Warwick to Richard yesterday. Very smooth transaction and nice to meet a fellow Warwick enthusiast!
  19. FDC484950
    Haha brilliant!

    £450 is a very small budget for a 6. The biggest issues are usually poor neck stability, headstock dive and cheap pickups and electronics. The nicest cheap 6 I’ve ever tried was a Cort A6 artisan - maple so quite springy and bright without sounding too modern, neck through with great balance and the build quality and playability were astonishing. If it weren’t for the slightly anonymous electronics it could pass off as a slightly cheaper Ken Smith easily - it’s that good. To put this in context it felt like a much more expensive instrument than either an Ibanez SR or Yamaha TRB (based on having owned an SR506, SR5006 and a TRB6-ii and TRB1006). My advice? £750 buys you a lot better quality 6, so start saving

    Yamaha’s UK headquarters was (is?) in MK so that may explain why. Chappells of Bond St was somewhere I visited a lot for great bass books and sheet music etc back in the day - then they moved to Wardour St. I think tough times and the fact that Yamaha were a fairly big supplier of stock in the new shop meant the takeover was inevitable. Last time I went there (admittedly years ago) they still had the sheet music in the basement.
  23. FDC484950
    Now £20 posted.
  24. FDC484950
    Sold pending collection and payment.
  25. FDC484950
    It isn’t. I think it’s got some glue stuck to it. Never thought to ask the original owner and it doesn’t affect playability or electronics.
