OK folks up for sale is my Warwick Streamer stage 1 NT 5 string. Flamed maple with Akanga stripes, wenge board, MEC humbuckers and active 3 band eq, made 2004 Fantastic bass, does the lot - classic growl, great Zender through your Fenders to a very hifi Ken Smith like modern sound. Pretty much immaculate, no dings, been waxed regularly, new jack socket 19-20mm spacing at the bridge, but fully adjustable, set up really nicely, neck is wide but not deep and really comfortable to play. Weight is about 9lbs and very comfy on the strap Reason for sale is I got this for a project that never got off the ground, and an incoming Sadowsky Fl means I need to generate cash, so not after trades I’m afraid. I’m into this bass for £1k and Thomann are currently asking £2400, so I’m asking £850 firm, which I think is very reasonable. Comes with newish padded Warwick gig bag, some wax, straplocks and truss tool Anyone is welcome to come and try this beauty out in the Bath/Bristol area. Collection preferred but can post at your expense, or meet within reasonable distance thanks for looking Graham -
Think I prefer Zenders too. It's tighter, funkier and more focussed. The album version is more lyrical and flowing but lacks the immediacy and punch of the single, bit too much cheba

Janeks podcasts or 'basscasts' are very good too. Free on iTunes if you like 'that kind of thing'

Thanks for that, really enjoyed it. Nice to see Raven getting some props too

[quote name='voxpop' post='869919' date='Jun 17 2010, 02:34 PM']Its mine too, but i need to free some cash for a nice 5 string Sandberg. This bass has a really warm, woody, organic sound and so easy to play because of its 34" scale and adjustable string spacing.[/quote] sounds tasty, what colour? -
Thank god! This has been driving me mad. Such a bargain, deserves a loving home

[quote name='Clarky' post='852103' date='May 30 2010, 08:37 PM']Bear in mind also that Entwistle had dozens of basses - Jaco had one that recorded all his classic moments and arguably the most ground breaking bass solo album ever - yep, this one, The Bass of Doom Its like saying one of Pete Townsend's countless Les pauls or SG's is worth at least as much as Eric Clapton's Blackie. It ain't. Period[/quote] spot on Clarky, I have a book of Entwistles bass collection, goes on forever. Only one BOD innit

[quote name='Buzz' post='851918' date='May 30 2010, 04:51 PM']I completely disagree with your view of pricing. The reason being is that Entwistle was a member of The Who, who were massive in their heydays and known globally. Pastorius while a very good jazz bassist and did a lot for the instrument, is practically unknown outside of specific music circles. Part of the value of Entwistles' was due to his fame and popularity, Jaco simply doesn't have that and won't command the same price imo.[/quote] and £65 for a happy ending!?!?

[quote name='Davo-London' post='832284' date='May 9 2010, 03:44 PM']I'm a big DR Sunbeams fan. In fact I have the same DR strings on my fretted and fretless basses as I love em so much. For me they have a wonderful flexibility and feel for a start. The tone doesn't fade in the way that stainless steels strings seem to. So they treble-fade much slower and so you don't really notice it. For me, months go past and I suddenly think: Oh Gosh I should be changing strings but the tone is lovely that I'm loathed to. I have a Jaco Fender Jazz fretless with an epoxy'd rosewood board - for me this creates the Jaco tone that I love. It is really melodic and sweet. On my Cliff Bordwell fretted ball bass the Sunbeams get the most out of the Audere pre I have on board. The bass, mids and treble EQ all respond tunefully to the string/pickup/pre system I have. I have Nordstrand big singles PUs. Try them out - I would be surprised if you really didn't like them. Davo[/quote] thanks for that, reckon I'll give them a whirl!

'I want you back' by the Jacksons. Groovy with some fiendish arpeggios later on
-
I can vouch for TI and Labella flats as great singing low tension strings for FL. Been wondering about DR Sunbeams and Lo Riders recently, anyone got an opinion on these or A/B'd them?

Traded basses long distance with Darren, a hassle free and smooth transaction. Recommended

Sounds good, not made one of these yet so it's in the diary! Graham

[quote name='Meenie' post='816565' date='Apr 23 2010, 07:02 PM']Tim Smith of Cardiacs,doubtless genius and it is a true shame that he hasnt got the credit he deserves,one of Englands finest. He is quite ill still after having a heart attack and stroke but on the mend apparently...how on the mend remains to be seen.[/quote] yes! the creative force behind the single most underrated British band of the modern era. genius. zappa yes. miles yes

Both brilliant, both different, neither one trick ponies either. MKs fingerstyle on Chinese Way - Fleas on You Oughtta Know etc
