Hi. I have a Streamer double buck and noticed yesterday it will not tune up. On closer investigation I found the Headstock at the top, had started to split on one of the joins, the thinner darker wood. It's not noticeable but definitely moves. Can this be repaired or can I obtain a new neck at a reasonable price. Help appreciated

Hi. I have a Streamer $$ and the output jack (barrel type) is constantly failing. I have had it replaced with a switchcraft, but that has now started to crackle at times. Are there any alternatives. Help appreciated

This problem seems to be pedal related. I am using (in order) Polytune mini - TC Electronics Corona chorus - 3 leaf Pwnzor compressor. These are powered by a 1 spot power supply to a 4 way daisy chain (yep only using 3). On a couple of occasions, approx halfway through a gig, the volume drops considerably. I bypassed the pedals and went direct into the amp and all was fine apart from no effects! I took the Pwnzor out of the equation as it seemed the most likely culprit, last number on Saturday's gig the same thing happened. !! This is only using the chorus and tuner. Could it be the power supply.(rated at 1700 Ma) I am at a loss as to what to try next

LOL I am just in the process of doing so Thanks for the help and fingers crossed. Bassbum

Hi. Thanks for the replies. The pedals are powered by a "1 spot" and daisy chained. But I will be looking into a more substantial system like the gig rig. Or even power them individually. The Pwnzor has internal charge pump circuitry to produce 18 volts of headroom from a standard 9 volt supply for plenty of clean headroom Perhaps it's pulling too much power using all 3 pedals from one supply ?? Cheers

Hi. I am using a Pwnzor compressor and TC Electronics chorus. with a TC Electronics Polytune. Gigging last night and halfway thru a number the volume halves (as if the compressor had turned off). No button clicking just the compressor always on. Checked and all pedals were as they should be. Linked straight from bass to head bypassing the pedals and volume returned so finished gig that way. At the end of the gig. re-connected pedals to test everything and it was fine, This is really confusing me as I have also checked it at home this morning and it's fine. It's making me nervous as what to use for the next gig. It's almost like when something gets hot it cuts out. Then re-connects when cooled. ??? Currently using Tuner - Compressor - Chorus Any ideas REALLY APPRECIATED Bassbum

Any idea of the effects I could use to recreate the sound on the bass for this tune. I do have (luckily) an X3 pro. Have tried various chorus effects but cannot seem to nail it. Help really appreciated

Hi, does anyone know of the Westone Pantera X790 and what it might be worth. I might just be thinking of buying one. Thanks in advance.

Someone I know very well and have done work for at a discount rate (I feel a rage coming on) But I was hoping for a possible £200. Am I being too optimistic?[/quote] Ah well. Managed a measly £160.00 for the old friend. I really wish I could have kept it. Never mind.... a new Warwick Streamer $$ to ease the sorrow.......whoopeeeeee!!!!

Hi. Just got myself a beauty Streamer $$ natural and am looking for some advice on the preferred body treatment (steady now) Claytons Carnauba wax has been suggested but I have never heard of it. Any advice from you guys that have experience with oiling and waxing bodies would be appreciated. :brow: No...this is not a porn hack attempt Thanks in advance.

Its difficult to price and I dont understand how you bought something that was made in 1995 new a couple of years ago - was it hanging on the shop wall for 10 years? The £450 paid above was absolutely top dollar and I would expect to get considerably less unless you are very lucky.[/quote] Yes it was in a shop for that long, so I`m told, unless he bought it in new from somewhere else....in fact I feel ripped because the guy who owns the shop is a ...well kinda like a friend.
