  1. Ooooh a 'Lawsuit' bass... they are my favourites; there are more of them than there are 'none lawsuit' basses.
  2. Except it isn't NT unless NT stands for 'natural'.
  3. £1500 for a BO when you can get a good period 1990 NT for £1350... no brainer. https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/730734742041357/?media_id=0&ref=share_attachment
  4. No,the opposite. It delivers the exact same power into either a 4 or 8 ohm load.
  5. I've got the 4 string version of this and it's fabulous... but mine has turned into a case queen. LOL BTW does your truss rod work the opposite way to a regular truss rod right/loose - left/tight?
  6. The body made of 'black hole' wood should counter even a fiver! LOL
  7. Strange that folk say the NT doesn't 'balance'. I've had more than a few of the 4 strings and every single one was perfectly balanced... the first fret was in a different post code if you wore your strap high but certainly never unbalanced!
  8. 1 button in is parallel is it not? 1 button in sounds different to 3 buttons in which in turn is different to 4 buttons in.
  9. So what setting is '3 buttons in'?
  10. I asked about the 3 / 4 buttons in, over on TB and it was totally inconclusive as to which is what setting but you get 2 different sounds... at least on my bass you do!
  11. All in 3 buttons or all in 4 buttons?
  12. Well that's certainly a different slant! Warwick licensed the 'Ned Steinberger' design from Stuart Spector until he sold the company, the license was challenged due to design changes (weak to say the least but it worked for them). The Streamer however is simply a ripped off Ned Steinberger, no doubt at all! Where the heck the scrubbing of Fender decals and selling Fenders comes from I have no idea... that's a new one on me!
  13. Are you after a 4 or 5 string Streamer/Thumb? If it is a 4 string and you have to have JJ pups you'll be looking at a Streamer Stage II which is more expensive and significantly harder to find than a Streamer Stage I (PJ).
  14. Small body, short top horn... 1st fret is further away than many have encountered on any other bass, which means a big 'NO' for many. "I understand the wenge neck gives that characteristic burp that the Thumb has." - You'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between the neck woods; it's the combination of many things that give that burp.
  15. That looks like an ebony board which indicates it's always been fretless or had a replacement board. If it is 1990 you'll get a reply from W telling you basic info that anyone could give, they didn't keep detailed records back then so I could type up the W reply for you. I'd have a close examination of how good the lines are installed; do they 'look' factory?
  16. Contact Dave Hills at Trillians, Newcastle; if he is interested you'll still not get a gig till 2024 as he is booked virtually every day of the week till then. I have to say there are more bands chasing fewer good gigs/venues, which is an issue!
  17. Thanks for the info @rushbo However... unless I can find a playable TP 12 string it will be 'sound-a-like'!
  18. If you know of venues that put on tributes in your area, please by all means message me and I'll see if I can sort something.
  19. The YI200 was quite a size as I recall, will the physical 'box' be significantly smaller than that?
  20. Stonking gig at Trillians last night. Not blowing our trumpet but it was packed and I had a hard time believing that when I saw my teenage heroes 'ANGEL' there a couple of years ago there were less fans in than we had... mad (but great)! Folks were singing along to nearly every song. Our guitarist knows he needs to up his game!
  21. Looks like stunning build quality for budget Fender money... in fact you have a message!
