    [quote name='Machines' post='209797' date='May 30 2008, 06:23 PM']Sterling pickups are have a 3rd phantom coil and deeper routing to accommodate it .[/quote] Ahhh! I see. How much deeper are we talking? I only ask because could it not be that if a Sterling pup was mounted in a stingray it 'may' just sit nearer the strings... if we are talking a few mm difference; obviously if it's massively different then no way! My price may not be cheap enough so we'll say £35.

    Strange though it may seem... string tension bowing your neck may not be the case. I always thought that thicker strings equaled more tension but when I voiced this opinion on another website I was directed to the D'Addario website where they list all the relative string tensions. It would appear that according to the statistics there is less tension on a B string than an E! Now whether the mass of the string adds/subtracts from the equation I have no idea but looking simply at the various tensions listed it would appear that thicker gauge strings need not equate to more tension on the neck and hence no greater pull on the headstock. I am more than happy for someone more versed in this to explain why that isn't the case but as it stands the nut dimensions would appear to be the main consideration.

    [quote name='Machines' post='209746' date='May 30 2008, 04:52 PM']It's worth noting that this will only fit a Sterling and not a Stingray. Good price though .[/quote] Ah-ha... didn't know that! Just out of interest what is different, why doesn't it fit the Ray?

    Taken out to be replaced with a Nordstrand and the bass has subsequently been traded so this is surplus to requirements. Ideal to drop back into a Sterling if you want it back to standard (or as a spare) alternatively, pimp your OLP (need to confirm that the dimensions are the same) £40 inc P&P

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='209276' date='May 29 2008, 11:57 PM']soon! Moving house on sunday so after that. i used bluey live on last sunday for the first time. I felt ill so the whole experience was a bit traumatic! Theres something about it that is so musical, i was able to come up with some lovely wee lines. It was so efortless 'feeling' where the note would be that i forgot it was a different bass and a wee run in Bm went very wrong! I love it! And also strangely it also makes me love my fender and what that can do more! [b]Btw what strings are on it?[/b] anyway....[/quote] Don't scoff... they are nickel Hartke strings that I got off ebay. There was a heads up on here about them going cheap. They crop up every few months and someone flogs off bulk orders of packs of 3, this is the 3rd time I've bough a lot. Cost something daft like £12 for 3 packs of 4 strings! Bargain I say. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='209332' date='May 30 2008, 04:24 AM']Really? I never saw him playing anything but P basses. [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E-cQ10A8WY4"]Stefan Lessard[/url] from Dave Matthews Band also used to swing a Dolphin - it's all over their debut album.[/quote] He was plastered all over the Warwick endorsement advertising years back and appeared on the front of Bassist magazine toting a Dolphin and as you say Stefan was/is a long time user. I should have a 50% deposit on this before the end of the day so I'll amend the title as and when it happens. Cheers to all who showed interest

    It would need to be pretty well recessed wouldn't it! That particular image is the one where I thought the finishing looked particularly cr*ppy... but my attention was distracted from the lack of visible socket!

    On hold, potentially going across the pond

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='208554' date='May 29 2008, 12:41 AM']bumpity.... for another lovely bass of Warwickhunts at a nice price. Oh and his first post is wrong too. The unsellable blue bass is not available! [/quote] Cheers Luke I think you need a new Avatar pic to reflect your new found Warwickness

    Very odd! Can't quite formalise what I believe about it at the moment. Initially I wondered if it was a Kubicki but there are several features that are wrong inc' the headstock (IIRC). I also can't EVER recall seeing that bass in a Bass Collection catalogue or advertising; prototype... possibly 'OR' more likely nice bit of salesmanship to get you thinking you'd be getting a rarity and getting the bidding up. The paint is running on the edges and the finishing looks a bit shocking (ignoring the battering it's had) IMHO it's a bitsa put together by a hobbyist a few years ago who couldn't afford the real deal. Not the worst copy I've ever seen but I can't imagine it came out of a factory
  11. warwickhunt
    Hang on... the fingerboard is coming away, the neck is twisted, the headstock is smashed in two places right where the tuners are, the pup is sh*gged, it has non-standard switch and the body is hand finished! It is a basket case 'IF' you wanted to do this up properly with a new neck (a must have), pick-up, refinish etc you'd be looking at more than the cost of a decent/tidy used example. Seriously, unless you have those parts sitting about spare in the house don't bother!

    [quote name='clagooey' post='208506' date='May 28 2008, 11:15 PM']Well I can still play bass sitting down, so it would be worth it! But you're right; the ones i tried were stupidly light. Too good to be true though unfortunately [b]They've had a call from someone in Newcastle about them though[/b].. I 'spose if you really want them.. Ah well. I think i'll have a look online for some more amp heads. Then I'm gonna go look at my bank statement online, afterwards repeatedly pressing refresh in the hope that I'm gifted with a wodge of money. Damn optimism.[/quote] That was me establishing what they were. Had they been the original version (weighing 100lb or so each) with Speakon connectors I'd have advised you to snap them up asap, as you'd not get similar quality cabs at that price anywhere! As it happens the original versions would be 'WAY' to heavy for me and the later versions are nice budget cabs but not a batch on the 'proper' cabs. Your quest continues.
  13. warwickhunt
    I established that those H&K cabs aren't the original 600watt wizzy driver model, they are the second generation which are half the weight of the originals with standard drivers which sadly lose out in the tone stakes! Had they been the original models at that price you'd have been grinning from ear to ear and pinned to the back wall... saying that you'd also have been going to see a chiropractor

    [quote name='whynot' post='208399' date='May 28 2008, 09:26 PM']Being a fellow Tech cab owner I must give this a bump. These cabs are excellent. If I needed a bigger backline than I use now I would have taken a day out to drive up and buy it. I think Dood should fill up his tank and go for this.[/quote] Cheers mate. Had Dood not already had an Epi 6x10 I've a sneaking suspicion he may well have done Funnily enough I may well be going to Leicester this weekend if anyone wanted to meet!

    [quote name='budget bassist' post='208114' date='May 28 2008, 03:29 PM']I think you'd be getting more interest if you'd kept the original p'ups in there do you still have them by any chance?[/quote] I have to disagree! If the EMGs are pukka ones and not 'selects' then I'd sooner have those installed than the stock pups!

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='207926' date='May 28 2008, 11:32 AM']im not sure id ever buy an expensive bass thru neck tbh, id just be worried about the neck f***in up somehow, and then that would be bye bye bass, you can always replace a bolt on[/quote] You pays your money, you takes your choice! I've used NT basses for the last 20 years and I've not had a problem with a f**ked neck!
  18. warwickhunt
    Regardless of my views of your previous dealings/shennanigans with regard to the price of your bass, I've always thought you'd have been lucky to get £600 for a BO Thumb any way. Just an opinion but I'd consider eating humble pie and offering it to 'weeted' at a discount of at least the cost of his fuel (x2 if he has to come back to collect)!

    You have a PM.

    Is anyone on the forum putting their hand up to bagging this?
  21. warwickhunt
    No interest in the lightest 6x10 available, that will handle pretty much the biggest of amps! Will accept trades on smaller cab(s); Accugroove, Epifani, Glock, Aguilar, Tech etc.
  22. warwickhunt
    Any cash offers or trades for small(ish) cabs? Accugroove, Aguilar, Epifani, Schroeder... if they are pairs of cabs they must be 8ohms each or a single 3x10 type cab @ 4 ohms.
  23. warwickhunt
    FFS the seller either had no idea of the value or was 'seriously' desperate. Had I seen that I'd have thought 'Nah too good to be true'... and may well have missed the bargain of the decade (if it is genuine ) I can see that back up for sale at x2 x3 the purchase price!
  24. warwickhunt
    Nice one. Burst colours are a bit less common on Warwicks so be sure to stick up a couple pics when it arrives.
