[quote name='timmyo' post='285101' date='Sep 16 2008, 02:58 PM']If I can't fix the treble pot on mine I don't suppose there's any reason this wouldn't drop in to my Fender P Lyte ? How is it likely to compare quality-wise with the factory controls ? Also (sorry for all the Qs) are the freqs a preamp operates at more fo a personal preference thing, or might one brand actually sound poor with the wrong bass that it wasn't designed for ? ta Tim Tim[/quote] Quality wise it potentially should be streets ahead of the factory job as the preamp alone retails at 200+ euro and I can't imagine a P Lyte would have had as high a spec pre fitted as that... I could be wrong! Either way it would be a matter of taste any way. A preamp should theoretically work with any bass but as you say the frequencies that it operates at may well suit some basses better than others but if you want something different from your P bass then I'd suggest fitting a non-Fender part might be what you want. Loads of people (inc me) have fitted Aguilar/Glock/Audere/Demeter/J East/ACG etc to there basses with no guarantee as to what the results will be but I suppose that the joy of buying used is that it isn't costing you a fraction of the new price and you can always resell it

This is the cavity Is the circuit board usually mounted to a post or anything on Warwicks?[/quote] The board is already prewired to the pots etc. it isn't hard-wired to a pot as such it is just connected by wires from your pots to the board so it would be possible to rejig the board as you see fit... if you have the know how However looking at your bass you have 3 controls rather than the 4 that are needed for the mid control. Of course if you are a dab hand with the soldering iron you should be able to easily resolder this to a stacked pot for the bass and treble... this would give you stacked vol/pan, stacked bass/treble and a mid pot. Alternatively a bit of research and you can do what you like

[quote name='Peaty' post='284187' date='Sep 15 2008, 01:23 PM']Hi warwickhunt Yup I have very seriously considered putting frets in it and keeping it, but I am playing 5 strings much more these days hence the post. If it had been though a harder life I would consider giving it the orange treatment that looks sooo good on your pumkin bass, but as the body is pretty pristine I just could not bring my self to do it. Just out of interest how easy is it to get hold of the warwick bell brass fret wire. Pete[/quote] Warwick supply their fret wire and it's even pre-cut the correct length/width for Warwick necks, not too expensive either! [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='284329' date='Sep 15 2008, 04:06 PM']I love the look of these old "racing stripe" Streamers. [b]Wish they'd had the two-piece bridge on them though.[/b] I'm tempted but I only have another fretless 4 for trade, and currently no gear cash. [/quote] There was a transition period of about a year (88-89ish) where you got the predominantly wenge necks (ie thick wenge and skinny maple stringers) with 2 piece bridges, they take some finding but generally prices on these early Warwick Streamers isn't influenced by what wood and/or whether they had 1 or 2 piece bridges (or pup choice for that matter).

Stick me in the queue to buy it if it isn't already sold Seriously!

Stick some frets in and I'd have it
