    Yep it is what it says. Also has a replacement nut, extra pot (+ existing pot-hole filled) added poss for 3 band EQ (this would likely have been 2 band EQ in 1990), is it a top mounted output or is it a snapped off pot shaft? I'd ask about the line/potential crack from the 6th tuner. Pups may well be original as Barts were an option and the routing looks correct. Fingerboard is ebony as opposed to usual wenge but this could be a custom order bass due to it being an early sixer.

    Has there ever been damage to the neck/headstock joint (Not all suffer but a known weak point)?

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1458860394' post='3011734'] Beautiful! Just FYI, this bass is a Steamer bass, SSI and SSII did not come in until much later [/quote] LOL While I was typing!
  4. warwickhunt
    Nice bass but it's a Streamer not a SSII which is a similar shape but very different bass. Aside from a refret and new nut is the rest of the hardware replacement?
  5. warwickhunt
    Nice. I've been looking for a SSII for a while... unfortunately I'm after an 80's one or I'd have been messaging you! GLWTS

    I've heard some truly awful, thin/boxy sounding 12's and some thunderous, deep 12's (inc' in that are 2x12's as well). Likewise I've heard flabby 15's and 15's that could shatter glass... and as for TENs! I have to agree that it is pointless generalising because there are as many exceptions to the rule (10's toppy, 15's bottom, 12's middy) as there are obey the rule. It's good fun trying them all out though to come to this conclusion.

    TBH there have 'probably' been more grumblings about the reliability of the Ampeg PF500 amps as opposed to the Hartke amps, that would have me having 2nd thoughts about the Ampeg as an amp choice! However, you pays your money...
  8. warwickhunt
    Same period and my old 4 string Pro I also had 20mm string spacing (44mm nut width), I was never into slap but when slappers tried it they loved the separation. Oddly it never felt a handful as it was quite shallow in depth.

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1458062529' post='3004334'] Same here [/quote] Ditto.
  10. warwickhunt
    Superb amps and a decent price. Where are you based?
  11. warwickhunt
    Rather than start a new thread I thought that I'd add to this. Demeter > TC RS210 cabs working well and made to measure (sorry for the shoyte image)! I have been messing about with EQ settings and tbh as an after thought threw the Leland Sklar shape in... yep that works. I tweaked a bit more treble/presence than his setting as I was liking the 'dark' setting but this may be my default and subsequent tweaks made from there. I have to say it is still a wrench coming away from the Thunderfunk.

    Guessing this will be gone but I'll throw my hat in the ring as interested (my first bass was one of these... though I don't recall the headstock like that )

    [quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1457712743' post='3001266'] I would expect a reasonable discount to buy a bass without the original bag or case... [/quote] Conversely some folks make low ball offers for a bass that you might agree to but 'without' the case; leaving you to sell the case to recoup the difference! I've had it happen several times where buyers have said that they use x/y/z brand of case/gigbag and don't want the case that is with the bass, so would I knock off £20-£50 or whatever. Consequently I've got several branded cases off past basses, which have proved useful... for when I buy said brand of bass without a case!
  14. warwickhunt
    Love the use of big rubber feet/pads on the back; other manufacturers take note!
  15. warwickhunt
    2-Tek bridges real quality but rare as!
  16. warwickhunt
    Yes I've played a few M[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]aruszczyk basses in the last year and they range from 'helium filled' to very light! [/font][/color]
  17. warwickhunt
    I know Dave Wilson personally and his work is second to none! Do you have an accurate weight (I'll be the first of the 'weight challenged' shoulder injured bassists to ask)?
  18. warwickhunt
    Surely it's the 1000th bass made... shouldn't #1 be B000001

    My Sonus 'Lightwave' [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/Zon%20L2_zpsadjoxmcm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/Zon%20L2_zpsadjoxmcm.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  20. warwickhunt
    I got myself another John but its a Lightwave model and the system fitted doesn't suit my playing style (lots of palm muting). GLWTS
  21. warwickhunt
    You always have some cracking basses!

    [quote name='largo' timestamp='1457281531' post='2997005'] It's the main reason I have a 2 cab rig. [/quote] This ^ A pair of 2x10's means if one dies I still have monitor. + I keep a small active Preamp/DI in my leads case

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1457174389' post='2995969'] This is a steal! I'm meeting Tom on Tuesday. IF ANYBODY from the north west or north east wants this cab PAY ATTENTION I can get it to Wigan for any guys in the NW. We can make arrangements from that point. I can get it to the North East, on Saturday 12th March, as I am gigging at Steph's in Consett. On that Saturday I can go up the west as far as Penrith, or alternatively go M62/A1 and meet up along that route. Or you can come down to Consett and collect from there. Please though, I will be on a tight-ish schedule on that Saturday. You will have no courier charge, you won't have to wait in for a courier to chuck it over the fence You will, however, have to sort out paying Tom, I want nowt to do with the loot I had a Schro 410BMF, best cab I've ever had, but circs changed and I had to go smaller. Good luck Tom, cracking cab. [/quote] Very generous offer, well done that man.

    [quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1457178211' post='2996032'] I've taken a rough average of £700 for estimation purposes. [/quote] Only 4 basses a week still seems low, I'd have thought 4 a DAY!
  25. warwickhunt
    I'm surprised your figure is as low as £3000 a week... I'd have expected more!
