Thanks guys,will Alex send me a Meerkat too ? I thought long & hard before ordering my cab,I really like my GB cab but I have a long standing knee injury which makes it awkward for me to carry it. said GB cab will be in the for sale section once the BB2 arrives.

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1416392366' post='2609621'] I wouldn't worry , it's all part of the suspense & excitement ....It's all carefully planed I reckon [/quote] Ah now I see

Thanks for the replies guys I appreciate it,you have put my mind at rest looking forward to trying out my Big Baby 2 once it arrives.

Yesterday morning I ordered a cab from Barefaced & paid my deposit. I got a confirmation email from PayPal but haven't heard anything from Barefaced,no email,nothing. I have emailed & sent a Facebook message,still no reply. should I be worried or is this normal.

You Could always buy my Pro Series Corvette 4 string in the for sale section (Shameless plug)

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1415801922' post='2603925'] given you had none when I popped up to buy your old amp with my warwick.... am I partly responsible for this? :-D [/quote] Lol you maybe are Luke 😊 But I have always liked Warwicks & have owned some in the past,guess I forgot just how much I like them.

Lol the streamer is definitely the more versatile bass of the two but the thumb is just so damn punchy. I reckon you need both.

my little collection of Warwick Pro Series basses [URL=http://s88.photobucket.com/user/artisan1967/media/IMAG0024_zps564ba60d.jpg.html][IMG]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k161/artisan1967/IMAG0024_zps564ba60d.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='alexpea' timestamp='1415531869' post='2601151'] Have you gigged the bass much yet? How's it doing? Are you able to get plenty of volume and good tone? [/quote] Yes it's done 4 gigs so far,has a lovely deep tone & is very feedback resresistant. I've never had so much volume so easily & it is so much easier to play than my Strunal was. I couldn't be happier.

[quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1415530049' post='2601134'] well done! Didnt see any naturals just black. Like tge look of the neck throughs. whats the difference between the sreamer lx and the stage 1 nt with pj pups? Apart from NT and about £100 of course [/quote] cheers the Stage One NT should be a very nice bass too,i think the only difference is just that it is a neck through instead of a bolt on,get it bought

[quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1415453427' post='2600489'] Really interested in these now. But thumb v streamer that's the question. Love a PJ but thumb seems to be the quintessential Warwick. Are they murder for neckdive on a strap? Andy Irvine seems to play them on his left leg when seated which I don't think I'd like [/quote] I actually have 3 of them now as I bought the last natural finish streamer LX4 that thomann had 😁 the streamer is definitely more versatile than the thumb & has a more mellow traditional sound but I love all 3 of my basses. all of Them balance on the strap perfectly fine,I haven't noticed any neck dive at all,although I use a fairly wide strap.

here's some fat bloke slapping his poor Duke bass [URL=http://s88.photobucket.com/user/artisan1967/media/P1000403_zps27532eb4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k161/artisan1967/P1000403_zps27532eb4.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1415226109' post='2598255'] That's about 35 minutes away if ya want me to have a look at it I've gigs on Thursday & Friday nights but the weekend is free There's also an instrument repairer in Harrogate who did Artisan's sound post a few weeks ago, I've forgotten his name [/quote] Andrew's Violins

this is the little blighter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200613316399?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT very simple but very effective tail piece mounting too.

So I bought a cheapo J Tone pickup off eBay just as an emergency backup,it arrived yesterday so I put on my bass,through my fdeck to try it out. what a suprise,although the output is lower than my usual pickup it gave a really nice warm,mellow tone,kind of my bass but louder,I kid you not. I honestly expected it to sound sh*te instead it sounds very good indeed & for the measly sum of £28

Had the same thing when my Duke arrived,luckily my local luthier sorted it out straight away for me.

I do like a nice curvy blonde
