    [quote name='WarPig' post='284399' date='Sep 15 2008, 05:52 PM']They are the same bass to an extent, just people call them either 1 or One, Fender use 'One'. When the highway one first came out [b]it had a nitro paintjob,[/b] standard fender bridge ect ect, but they released an upgraded version a few years ago, which has the same nitro finish but come with a BAII bridge and 70's logo as standard. No HW-1's are thru-body. On my GAS list currently, well have been for a few years.[/quote] [quote name='GЯДИК' post='284410' date='Sep 15 2008, 06:08 PM']the originals weren't nitro they were [b]catalyzed lacquer[/b] - a kind of acrylic I believe[/quote] Come on guys I want absolutes here

    Can someone give me the [u]definitive[/u] answer as to what features each bass has and when they are/were in production. I really like the nitro finish (which I'm certain both have) and I have a deep dislike for the 'pointy/stabbing' bridge saddles that Fenders have, so would only consider one with a BA (again confusion is it a BA or BA II and I'm certain none are thru-body strung) but I've seen loads of basses here and eBay that appear to be described as [i][b]one[/b][/i] or [i][b]1[/b][/i] and they have either been retro fitted with BA or there's a rabbit away somewhere with the descriptions. Colour me confused Cheers

    The fact that there wasn't a single bit of interest when it was on ebay @ £1000 gives you some fair indication that if the seller was prepared to let it go for £1000 minus any eBay seller or Paypal fees (which would be clocking on toward £80) indicates that they expected/hoped to net about £920 absolute top whack. I'd agree that a no hassle sale of £800 shouldn't be too wide of the mark so I'd be silly and offer £750... though don't try that with me Good luck

    [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

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='283818' date='Sep 14 2008, 06:41 PM']My '87 Warwick Streamer has a cherry body and sounds very nice. Cherry appears to have fallen out of favour as a tonewood because its relatively expensive and doesn't look fancy but that doesn't mean it isn't a good body wood. It isn't the lightest of woods, so bear that in mind with body shapes / chambering. Alex[/quote] As Alex says, the earliest Warwick Streamer Stage Is were Cherry bodied then they changed to Maple. I have to say that the early Cherry bodied models are still some of my favourites Warwick pretty much came up with their slogan 'The sound of wood' based upon these Cherry Streamers.

    Class The Jam were/are one of my all time fav bands; some of the first lines I tried to learn were Foxton's. I can't believe you actually continued to rehearse though, I'd have just pulled a chair up and sat and listened (even if it was out of sight/in the corridor/in another room)

    Why not just ask for a pic of the bass with the scratchplate off, it would be glaringly obvious if this was an aftermarket job. Saying that I doubt Fender would have tooled up the CNC machine to route for such a limited number basses, they may well have just taken a bunch of P basses and routed them by hand Surely there must be a fender site somewhere that documents this bass if it is a ltd run!

    [quote name='tonybassplayer' post='282965' date='Sep 12 2008, 11:00 PM']I have one of these sat up in the wardrobe. Think I need to put a new battery in it and play it at tomorrows gig !! [attachment=13284:IMG_0002.JPG][/quote] I likee the look of these but does the TRBII have the piezo or would that be the TRBII(p)... might sound obvious but the Yamaha range is confusing to simpletons

    Hello there! A brief introduction in the forum 'Introductions' section (original eh ) and a few pics of the bass, will go a long way toward a positive response. Best of luck.

    [quote name='bass_ferret' post='282838' date='Sep 12 2008, 06:49 PM']£799 in GAK! Get an EBS one for that price - nearly.[/quote] I do rate Peavey gear and the TX range gives a hell of a lot of bang for the buck but £799 for a cab labelled as Peavey is just asking to lose 75% of the value when you 'wheel' (couldn't carry) the cab out of the shop.

    I know the 'PRO' range are better spec but this still seems a bit much for a Peavey cab...

    I liberated Mark of his OBP1 and he was a top chap as usual and even got to see him dep with The RHCP (that's The [b]Reet[/b] Hot Chilli Peppers). Must be about the 3rd or 4th time I've dealt with Mark and all seamless and pain free

    Just out of interest how much bigger is the SKB body over the LG (is it several cm wider/longer/deeper or are we talking mm) and is it a different shape, it doesn't look dissimilar on the Roscoe site.
  24. warwickhunt
    I agree, if the feedback reflects what happened, leave it! Unusual for you to get a refund before even returning the item. Are you returning it at your cost or is the seller paying you for the carriage; it seems a bit much that you should get a full refund then have to pay to return the bass. You'd be out of pocket to the tune of the carriage fee.

    There wouldn't be any Sirius basses going like a budgie... . . . ...cheep
