    [quote name='molan' post='917913' date='Aug 7 2010, 12:45 PM']I used to have a Streamer really similar to that fretted one. Sold it for stupid money years ago because I simply didn't know any better - the good old web has made us all so much better informed now, lol. Bet this one sounds great, those earlier Streamers had a great growly tone from what I remember [/quote] Oddly enough Barrie there's suddenly renewed interest in these basses (Warwick forum, Talkbass and here) and the fretted is 'likely' going to a fellow BCer, we just need to finalise a couple of things. I know what you mean about the 'growl', Warwick's infamous "Sound of wood" slogan certainly rings true with the early Streamers and I've never gotten that sound with the sister Spector NS bass, despite having owned USA and Euro models.

    You don't see them in that finish very often, nice!

    [quote name='molan' post='917217' date='Aug 6 2010, 05:45 PM']It never ceases to amaze me what a fickly bunch we are Since listing this last night there's been quite a few people looking but no comments or enquiries. Meanwhile a Sadowsky that I haven't even put up for sale yet has generated three PM's about it. As an owner of both Sadowsky and Performance Guitar basses I'm happy to say that I think this P bass is easily the match of both of the US Sadowskys I've owned in terms of build quality and core tone.[/quote] Fickle... FICKLE... Oh I we are aren't we!

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='915922' date='Aug 5 2010, 01:27 PM']Was talking about ribbon mics with [b][u]Garcia[/u][/b] recently (rock and roll). Very delicate and can break if something blows into them, like a person or a kick drum hole. But they make fantastic room mics, and he is after some, so shoot him a PM.[/quote] We are talking joegarcia, yes?

    Argh pants! I have GAS funds from a sale (or possibly 2) but no where near enough for a couple of basses that have come up... what else have I got kicking around?

    [quote name='GremlinAndy' post='915538' date='Aug 5 2010, 01:47 AM'][color="#4169E1"]5th August... Still no sign of my hyperbass. Very (I mean *VERY*) dissapointed with the whole affair. I expected a higher level of professionalism from a manufacturer of high end basses. However I'm also becoming increasingly aware that what we're dealing with here is more like a work of art. The Sistene chapel was ready when it was ready. Not before. I dunno if Leo Da-v or Michelangelo quoted realistically but Joe sure doesn't bless him... He's a lovely disarming guy when he speaks to you... and promises the world... but top and bottom it's now well overdue, and I still don't have my bass. damn.[/color][/quote] You've the patience of a Saint, Andy! Not sure that I could be so philosophical about it... saying that I own a Sonus and it is a chuffin fabulous piece of work, so I can only imagine what your bass will be like!

    [quote name='ahpook' post='915318' date='Aug 4 2010, 08:11 PM']monstrously overpriced imho. they may be ribbon mics, but they're no coles 4308[/quote] A man who knows his stuff... so what should I be checking with these and where might I get a lead to try them with (want to ensure they are working before I sell them; even at 50% of that eBay price )? Cheers.

    [quote name='crez5150' post='915299' date='Aug 4 2010, 07:39 PM']Let me know i what you want for them... I have a pair of these already and need another set. Are the ribbons intact? do you have the cables and transformers? Jay[/quote] No idea about ribbons, how do I check? Certainly no cables or transformers.

    [quote name='chrisd24' post='915287' date='Aug 4 2010, 07:30 PM']looks like this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RESLO-VINTAGE-RIBBON-MIC-MICROPHONE-RESLOSOUND-/360285194431?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Music_Instruments_Microphones_MJ&hash=item53e2abc8bf"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RESLO-VINTAGE-RIBBON...=item53e2abc8bf[/url] Give you a tenner for the pair?! [/quote] Crikey moses! I usually check eBay before asking about values but just assumed these would be too obscure/old! Heck if I can get that for the pair I'd be chuffed! Off to Google the brand etc. but if anyone has some first hand experience of these things it'd be appreciated!

    Going through 'stuff' and I'm clearing out when I found these... Had these for yonks and I'm going to sell them but have no idea of worth... if they have any (came to me 20+years ago with a load of stuff I bought and they've been at the back of the draw ever since)! Info on casing plate; Ribbon Mirophone 30/50 ohms Made in England Reslosound Ltd They have 3 pin fittings but a normal XLR won't fit. I've no further info so if anyone can give me some guidance it'd be appreciated.

    [quote name='bigthumb' post='914338' date='Aug 3 2010, 09:52 PM']Stunning! What is the body wood?[/quote] Production SSI basses were only ever made with Cherry (earliest basses) then later, Maple bodies; changing during the late 80's. I'd say that this bass certainly looks from these pics to be Cherry.

    If anyone has the 'Specsavers' type earplugs with the inserted filters and needs a set of ER15 filters then I'll have a 'brand new' set for sale in the very near future. Basically, Specsavers messed me about with my plugs and have ordered a spare set of ER15 filters for me as compensation.

    [quote name='Thornybank' post='910611' date='Jul 30 2010, 08:06 PM']Well, it arrived. [u][b]Old crap black paint job - not mentioned in the description....[/b][/u] Ports full of spider webs and dust. Grill not torn, but no Logo plate nor "EV Loaded" plate. So I guess the condition rating goes: Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, [u][b]Good[/b][/u], Poor Speaker seems OK, though haven't pushed it. Shoulda waited for pics - but been looking for an extension to put under the combo, so pounced. Not stage worthy as-is, but maybe a good sand a repaint will help...?[/quote] Ouch! Original description does say Mahogany, so I suppose I'd expected (as you did) that it didn't mean Mahogany 'painted black'. Shame as on face value it looked a good deal.

    There was another thread recently where folks were stating that a 4 string 'cricket bat' Hohner was easily worth more than £200 so based on that £250 seems about right/cheap... though that may not be my view! Oddly enough Eude is looking for a 6 stringer, I'll point him in that direction, especially as it looks to have upgraded hipshot tuners!

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='907845' date='Jul 28 2010, 08:59 AM']Nah.. I found that in a skip a while ago.[/quote] Yeh I threw it in there as it was getting a bit shabby and I fancied a new one! Must catch up and have a cuppa as I'd like to hear this litle thing.

    A lot more versatile than they initially look as the dual coil pup does some clever stuff... bugg3red if I can recall what though! This'll get snagged sharpish; at least I hope it will otherwise my username forces me to make a daft offer!

    I used to have one of these.

    [quote name='norwood-1' post='897884' date='Jul 18 2010, 11:20 AM']The bass is like new.[/quote] How can you tell... It had to be said!

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='906191' date='Jul 26 2010, 06:51 PM']Sensible sized voice coil says not some silly rated car sub.[/quote] Due to some of the spurious specs quoted I've always steered well clear of any name that I'm not immediately familiar with. However if that is a decent pair of drivers then someone has just scored a bargain then!
  23. warwickhunt
    £26.05 - not bad BUT are they specific bass drivers i.e. not some silly rated car sub driver!
