    [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)?

    [quote name='H the Bass' timestamp='1316686469' post='1381329'] ha ha nice one i bought it like it is the paisley one so idont know wether things were added or not? as i bought it off Steves gutar tech i wouldn't have thought so but i cant say however it is a fantastic bass and if someone wants it they better be quick cos ive only gigged it at my daughters birthday party who is now going apeshit that i am selling it lol [/quote] I'll be honest and I'm after a Paisley bass but I don't actually want to pay the premium for a 'star' bass, I'd be happier if it was a straight-forward CIJ bass owned by Joe Bloggs. If there was concrete evidence that it was owned by SH then I might have had a punt and the provenance might have future proofed its value and NKR Vintage aren't my idea of 'proof' (not wishing to disparage your contact but NKR haven't got a great track record if you search threads on BC). Likewise the 'CS' matter; the USA 'CS' tatoo on the back of the headstock and the engraved plate are incongrous with the CIJ tatoo on the heel of the neck and something I've neither seen nor heard of in my life... not to say that I haven't seen plenty of CS logos on non-CS basses! If you have a Paisley bass owned by Joe Bloggs I'll be interested.

    I used to have far too many basses as a 'player' but I also considered myself a bit of a collector (so I could never have enough). Sold loads off a few years back and even now, though I have only 6 basses, I've got too many. I will be selling off 3 basses so that I'm down to my regular gigging bass, a back-up and a rare Ltd Ed which I can't bear to part with!

    [quote name='seb' timestamp='1316638616' post='1380905'] So...this is hard to do...but i need to do it. im selling my 88 4 stringed streamer stage I bass and my corvette standard which is handmade in germany, im looking as well for trades (warwicks, especially ss II or anything else, just make me an offer) i ll upload pictures tomorrow, it s hard for me to do this but im a student and to tell you the truth i dont have enough place and money and as well im not sure what i want (i had warwicks for 5 years now) im opened even to trades for amps. sorry but i cant tell you a real price yet [/quote] If you are 'selling' as has been said you need a price. However, if it is only trades then I'd remove the sale option for now and just put up what you are interested in... though some people may still want a ball-park figure of the value to help them decide on a trade price!

    [quote name='H the Bass' timestamp='1316660635' post='1381101'] calm down young man youll' do yourself an injury lol [/quote] So are the stamp and plate after-market add ons?

    I might be a complete divvy... but I've only just seen the pics of the neck plate and the back of the headstock and I wasn't aware there was such a thing as 'Custom Shop Japan'! What's the story?
  7. warwickhunt
    Weight? ...and yes I know that I sold my PRS!
  8. warwickhunt
    Sensible... now there's the thing!
  9. warwickhunt
    I like... but not £1000 worth of like unfortunately!
  10. warwickhunt
    If Luke's is defo not for sale, give me a shout as I have an 89 (or is it 90... confirm when I get home from work) SSI which I'm considering selling.

    If your cabs are both 8ohm it makes no difference to the amp if you connect each cab to the two outputs on the amp OR if you 'daisy chain' the cabs to each other and just have one connected to the amp (either way gives you a 4ohm load).

    [quote name='phsycoandy' timestamp='1316380968' post='1377407'] As far as i know it's original perhaps some Warwick experts could chime in! [/quote] Totally normal for Warwick, no worries on that front!

    [quote name='argm' timestamp='1316365121' post='1376974'] I have to agree. I bought a few bits and bobs about a month ago and the service was excellent. None of the snobbery and general lack of interest for customer's when I went up to Denmark Street! I also heard of the special oening you got last thursday! [b]I was wondering, do GuitarGuitar do price matches?...[/b] [/quote] Just about any and every where will do a price-match these days... you just have to have the nerve to ask.
  14. warwickhunt
    That answers that then.
  15. warwickhunt
    Reputation System... where? what? I have to confess some folk have said they are running/uploading quicker, whereas I am significantly slower (other sites are as per normal, so just when I visit BC)!
  16. warwickhunt
    10lb is just that bit too much for me unfortunately Dave, otherwise I had a Sterling to offer!
  17. warwickhunt
    What's the weight Dave?

    Lovely piece of timber. It must be one of the last Thumbs to have the carved rear headstock as I've tended to note that as the 2 piece bridge came in the carving went out (I've owned couple 89s that didn't have the carving and iirc an 88 that didn't, so I assume this may have sat in storage).

    [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1375068' date='Sep 16 2011, 12:40 AM']Anything over 25 years old is considered vintage.[/quote] Not this... I would imagine that it depends on the age of the company producing the bass. 10 years back anything from the 80's would be 'vintage' and yet the basses would be potentially 20 year old... probably similar situation with the likes of Overwater etc. For me a vintage Fender is NOT going to be an 80's Fender!

    [quote name='Linus27' post='1375031' date='Sep 15 2011, 11:20 PM']Which means different woods for the two necks. Is there any other difference in terms of wood for the body and pre-amps etc or are they exactly the same?[/quote] The old LX were Cherry wood bodies then later maple (as per SSI) and again the preamps and pups were pretty much identical on the earlier basses and I doubt the later ones have changed other than in line with the parallel ranges.

    [quote name='dc2009' post='1374969' date='Sep 15 2011, 10:34 PM']I do like yours [b]What's the difference between an LX and a Stage 1?[/b] If I ever bought a streamer it'd be a tossup between a Jazzman and a $$ methinks.[/quote] LX is bolt-on and Stage I is neck-thru
  22. warwickhunt
    Fender... great big horrible flat planks of wood! That's all.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1373401' date='Sep 14 2011, 04:46 PM']Hmmm... It looks really like a modded MIA that Warwickhunt used to own (and Bottomendian before that, I think)... I really like the newer P's and J's. They look solid.[/quote] It does 'look' like my old one but it isn't as that resides with my keyboard player. Oh and Bottomendian did own it... but I had it before and after him! Oddly enough I advertised that bass on here and I got virtually no interest (I sold it for a LOT less than The Gallery bass) despite the pup installation being done at The Gallery and the bass having Nordstrands in it. If the bass had been a 1/2-1lb lighter I'd have most certainly kept it. Oh and well remembered about the pickguard cut-away Clarky.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='1367639' date='Sep 9 2011, 01:56 PM']If he doesn't turn up PM warwickhunt....[/quote] It was indeed mid 90's when Warwick changed factory location BUT Warwick necks have been subtly different across the ranges and over the years any way! For instance; there's no guarantee that an 89 will be any slimmer than a 91, though I tried a 93 (pre factory move) that was chunkier than my 90. However, saying all of that, the very earliest basses were categorically slimmer (82-86/87 though post 86/87 pre 95/96 basses are not generally big necks) BUT I'm not so sure that the 5 strings were as different in profile as the 4's! I'd certainly say try before you buy if you are thinking of trading and adding cash.

    Hmmm. They may well be nice basses but that's a damn silly way to sell them! The chances of somebody actually wanting a pair of Ray's is limited but to compound it they are Ltd Ed and he is asking top whack hence the outlay is a fair old wedge.
