Loud G string and 'wah' type sound on a '51RI P-bass
warwickhunt replied to Clarky's topic in Repairs and Technical
[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1317152680' post='1387464'] Did you manage to solve it in the end, WH ... or just sell the bass?!!! [/quote] I tried EQing it, using a different amp/cab, adjusting the pup and action, tightened neck bolts, different string gauge and makes... all to no avail. It annoyed me to the point where I sold the bass. -
Loud G string and 'wah' type sound on a '51RI P-bass
warwickhunt replied to Clarky's topic in Repairs and Technical
Strange you should have this issue even with a replacement pup as I had a very similar issue with a 'Sting' sig Tele/P bass and replacing the pup didn't sort that (I also tried tilting the pup etc to no avail and changing between flats and rounds)! -
[quote name='LemonCello' timestamp='1317146199' post='1387366']If you caught OGWT 70's Gold edition on the TV the last weekend nearly every band on had a Fender bass in it, what you've been brought up with??[/quote] Exactly! Back in the 70's there was a lot less choice and Fender basically dominated the market, so kids watching the OGWT saw their hero playing a Fender and it was thus a self propagating circle.

If you trust the other party and aren't worried about needing the security of paypal protection, then a gift will work. -
[quote name='shantijoe' timestamp='1316786460' post='1382909'] Hiya Have a bump on this! this link [url="http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkte/produkt.php?submenuID=17072&katID=22954&cl=EN"]http://www.warwickba...tID=22954&cl=EN[/url] shows the STD Bubinga as a Korean bass. They don't appear in the German section. Perhaps wise SILDDX can clarify as this issues had come up before... ta, joe [/quote] The 'Pro' series is a new designation for Warwick, though the Corvette range goes back to the early 90's (fairly sure that they weren't even called 'Standards' back then) and were made in Germany. However... as well versed in all things Warwick that I am, I'm mainly interested in the early years of Warwick production (up till the mid 90's) and the multitude of BO and various lines lost interest for me, especially with production from places other than Germany, so I can't be sure when the 'std' range came out and when they started being made in Korea. A quick line on the Warwick site might get a response to tell when production was moved and clarity as to where this bass was made; though does it matter so long as it is a good un?

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1317054995' post='1386090']I'm surprised to that this amp has no overheat protection that I can see. I've never even seen mention of amps that have some kind of voltage protection when they have this switcharoo on.[/quote] Not a lot to do with 'overheating' tbh! Simple case of applying wrong voltage and it'll be fried I'd have thought. I've no doubt it'll be fixable but not under any warranty that I'm aware of (unless it was sold with the correct modification done to it so that it can be used in the UK). It's often the first thing that folks mention when there is a topic on grey imports... "what if something goes wrong?".

Sadowsky RV4 Jazz on ebay 2hrs left no bids, £1000
warwickhunt replied to Quatschmacher's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1317029167' post='1385519'] That's a bit below the belt mate. I thought this forum was commenting on items for sale not sellers. [/quote] Fair game in the ebay section! As much as anything it opens the eyes of the unwary and can highlight issues than some novices may not have considered or patterns of dodgy previous sales that appear regularly on ebay. -
Warwick experts.... tell me a bit about this one.

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1317026396' post='1385482'] What's the pickup config / colour of the streamer? [/quote] 'Red' is... red and has the MEC PJ config The Ltd Ed is natural (birds eye maple) and has Bartolini Soap Bars [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1317027555' post='1385496'] stick em up at the price you'ld get on ebay. if people want them great. otherwise ebay they go. daft putting them up for less, it just deflates all the prices including the ones on ebay in the long term. You have very nice warwicks from good eras. [/quote] I had typed up (and subsequently deleted) lots of pros and cons for BC v ebay but I suppose ultimately I should just pick a price and then fcuk those people who will unfortunately point out that someone heard of someone buying one for £400... ooops that happened on this thread; you get the point! -

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1316991098' post='1385319'] the red one and..... ? or a different two? [/quote] 'Red' and a Ltd Ed Streamer [quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1317021166' post='1385430'] Warwick hunt.... I had a quick look but I can't find your for sale threads! [/quote] Nothing put up yet as I want to have some decent pics and I'm undecided as to whether to just put them on ebay... I've advertised Warwick basses on here in the past and unfortunately there is more love for Warwick in the wider world (i.e. I sold 2 Warwicks a couple of months ago and got £500 MORE on ebay than I had them advertised on here!). -

Maybe you need a bit more weight on the body or lighter tuners... or a NT! Just so happens I'm selling two so start saving your pennies. -
Will my amp still work when I tune down...
warwickhunt replied to StevieD_FenderP2009's topic in Repairs and Technical
It's as much about the harmonics of the note as the fundamental. The biggest problem you may have is that poor speaker cabs might not do it justice and may well just flap, added to which your amp will need to work harder to drive out those low notes which will eat up your amp power! -

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1316985650' post='1385261'] It's just under 9lbs. [/quote] Odd that it neck dives, it isn't something I've ever had happen on any of my NT Streamers (and I've had more than a few)! I've presently got Streamer neck-thru basses that are over and under the 9lb mark (sub 8lb, 9lb 2oz,10lb) and none of these dive. -

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1316983621' post='1385230'] Thanks for the suggestion Doctor J. I already use a very wide Comfort strap. Unfortunately, my shoulder is very sensitive to small changes in weight, and as the set I play is so long, I really noticed the way the bass was weighted in a negative way. If I was just playing for an hour a night it wouldn't bother me. After 2 hours however, I'd know all about it! [/quote] What does the bass actually weigh? -

[quote name='seb' timestamp='1316788684' post='1382962'] Ok if rulez are rulez i ll say 2000 pounds for both of them, and im still open for any kind of trades! Pictures soon [/quote] Are they only available as a pair? If singly how do you see the price split between the Streamer and the Corvette? Cheers.

GOLD PAISLEY FENDER PRECISION/TELE BASS
warwickhunt replied to H the Bass's topic in Basses For Sale
Not a problem. I've asked the questions that I've asked because I am after a Paisley P bass and though I'm not about to openly discuss my views on the value of your bass (regardless of what Mods might think, I've reviewed my posts and can't see any direct attack on your price; simply a comment that £1000 was more than I wanted to pay for a CIJ bass... and I even included an emoticon), I wanted to be sure of what was being offered. Unfortunately, items for sale on a forum like this means that folks like me in Northumberland are often as far away from stuff for sale as it is possible to get and questions posted on a sale thread are the only ways to get answers. I even clearly indicated in my earlier post that if there were 'proof' that SH had owned the bass then I'd likely have taken a chance and made an offer on the bass! His connection would mean that if I didn't like the bass then provenance of SH owning the bass might mean that I wouldn't take a whack if I came to sell it. Conversely, me trying to sell a CIJ P bass that I only had second hand anecdotal evidence had previously possibly belonged to SH... well you get the picture. Shame the bass wasn't close enough for me to try as the questions and doubts could have been settled in the flesh! -
GOLD PAISLEY FENDER PRECISION/TELE BASS
warwickhunt replied to H the Bass's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='H the Bass' timestamp='1316707227' post='1381783'] how many times can you answer this guy cloth ears or what i have tried to be as honest as possible and if i dont know the answer thats what ive said does he badger everyone like this? as a guy who is going through the hardest time of his life ie marriage break up after 37 years i dont need this. [/quote] My sympathies re. your marriage break up. In answer to your question, I don't badger anyone! However, I do like to ask lots of questions about instruments that I'm interested in buying and vague answers about 'might have' owners and strange out of place logos, certainly have me asking for definitive answers. Oh and don't get personal with your comments. -
GOLD PAISLEY FENDER PRECISION/TELE BASS
warwickhunt replied to H the Bass's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1316702033' post='1381696'] Any issues with the value of the instrument should be discussed via PM, or, if its just thinking out loud, not at all. Please don't hamper the sellers chance of getting a sale on what is frankly a VERY nice, and not particularly common instrument. You've made a number of comments that are not positive towards the bass, but more importantly earlier on in the thread stated it wasn't for you. I'd suggest therefore that this is left to be a sales thread. Cheers Shep [/quote] I would disagree with your view on my comments re. the bass Shep. I am and have since the start of the thread asked questions to ascertain what exactly this bass is, due to the fact that i am looking for a Paisley bass (search the forum and you'll find I've made several requests for such a bass). I have some knowledge of bass guitars and this model in particular and I have quite frankly never seen a CIJ bass with a 'Custom Shop' logo on the back of the headstock. Surely I have the right to query the seller to ascertain the 'facts' or the authenticity of the bass! If these cannot be answered satisfactorally, you have construed them as not being positive toward the bass...that is hardly my fault. -

[quote name='Mog' timestamp='1316693543' post='1381512'] Ah adverts, where Squiers actually increase in price! If hes a mate push for mates rates. In the last 3 months I picked up a Streamer S1 for 480E, a Streamer Std for 400E and a Rebop 4 Zebrano for 400E. Personally I wouldnt stir above 5 tonne with this. [/quote] Are you saying that you've found and bought a NT Streamer Stage I for 480 Euro (about £430)?
