[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='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... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEAVEY-PRO410-BASS-CABINET_W0QQitemZ260283544776QQihZ016QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEAVEY-PRO410-BASS-C...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

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

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.

[quote name='gareth' post='279906' date='Sep 8 2008, 06:42 PM']Look like i've under-priced this then! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20328"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20328[/url][/quote] Unfortunately if no-one coughs up £1500 then under-priced or not it still sits there looking pretty! In fact looking at how long it has sat on Basschat, you might be better off sticking it on eBay. There are several documented cases of basses going on eBay for a lot more than they were offered on here

My rig, which I like to think is a bit like me... small and perfectly formed (you could equally say 'looking like some sad 70's throwback' )

[quote name='stinson' post='278690' date='Sep 6 2008, 04:22 PM']Here's a crap pic of the new rig [attachment=13045:P1010046.JPG][/quote] Just out of interest do you intend firing the other driver toward the floor or your head. I'm not having a dig I just wondered if you'd just set up that way randomly or if you had a genuine reason for the tweeter being low and the driver firing down over

With regard to what it is worth, I wouldn't expect to be getting the mortgage paid off with the funds An old guy that lives down from me knows I play bass etc and brought by this guitar which he'd been told by someone in a guitar shop was worth (and I quote) "a small fortune". The poor old sod genuinely expected to realise 4 or possibly even 5 figure sums; unfortunately it was a tatty unloved example (neck was twisted, fingerboard lifting and it had no pup or electrics) of an obscure Italian make that research revealed might be worth £300-£600 if it was in mint condition. He left me muttering about going to see an expert in London, tried to explain that the guitar sale wouldn't cover the cost of a sandwich on the train never mind his train fare. I'm not trying to urinate on your bonfire but 'sometimes' people get very excited by rare and unusual finds and expect the kind of figures that get bandied about in the press for *star's* guitars. Saying that, I'd certainly expect you to get a couple hundred quid for it but then again... I'm no expert
