    Those are my initials! Still not tempted though.

    The bass is fitted with the Warwick 3d bridge. The manual suggests that the saddles can be moved sideways.

    - bass ranges that don’t have a passive option. - single ply pick guards. - putting a Fender decal on a non-Fender bass.

    I would say 16.5cm.

    To me, getting this bass felt like moving from a moped to a super sports motorcycle. Possibly a sale I’ll live to regret, but there you go!

    I am looking to sell my 2021 Warwick Streamer LX5 Ltd edition (69/100) Pro Series, Team built made in Germany. It was bought on this forum in 2022. Body wood is Korina, neck wood is roasted flamed maple with Ekanga stripes. Fingerboard is Pau Ferro. Pickups are Bartolinis. The bass comes with the original Warwick RockBag and all accessories. It is a great bass in excellent condition, and super light at 3.7kg. There are just a couple of small marks on the bottom side of the body near the strap button and jack socket. Price is £1,350. Collection is preferred. However, I would be happy to meet up within a reasonable distance (I am based in North Essex). Not looking for trades. Sorry! My feedback thread is here:

    Me and my friends started a band at school. I couldn’t play anything, but had a Casio keyboard that had drum patterns on it. It was nearly 2 years later I bought a bass to secure my place in the band! I would advise anyone to join a band as soon as possible. It’s a great way to learn.

    In 1985 I was mostly listening to Iron Maiden. I had Saxon’s Crusader album on cassette, and the first two Marillion albums, but that was about it.

    Saw him at the Albert Hall about 20 years ago. At the time a big deal was made of him still going at 75. Not so uncommon now! That gig also included one of the best drum solos I have ever seen, played on just a snare with brushes.

    The best solution the last band I was in had was some large, heavy duty metal pegs that clipped the backdrop onto whatever was available. Stands always take up space and regularly collapse!

    Hi All I have owned a number of American Fenders over the years. I switched from 4 to 5 string basses as a lockdown project, but have recently joined a punk band and am looking to get a 4 string Precision for that gig. I admit to being a bit of a gear snob in the past, but am now wondering what the extra grand the American pro costs over the Mexican Player series will actually deliver in practise. Any thoughts? Also, if I do go for the Player series, should it be the Precision or the Jag. Or in other words - Dirnt or Hoppus? Cheers!

    I’ve always thought that there is a positive correlation between the quality of Bond theme tunes and the film itself.

    As you have a keyboard player, hopefully you can progress without either guitarist. You may find that you don’t even need one!

    Great vid. I wish I’d seen that years ago. The importance of the plucking hand is understated in a lot of teaching.

    John Deacon!?!

    The flip side of this is that if people aren’t dancing it’s all our fault!

    Absolutely. Have seen numerous bands where they saved the greatest hits for the encore, which to me seems arrogant/contrived. For me, an encore should be something unexpected.

    I put the bass down for three years when doing my accountancy studies. As soon as they were complete, and I was looking forward to getting back into playing bass, I accidentally slammed a car door on to the index and middle fingers of my right hand. This stalled the big comeback by a few more weeks.

    Bought a Warwick bass from Jason. He replied very promptly to my questions, with loads of pictures which was really helpful. Top seller! I’m a very happy boy! Many thanks Jason.

    Hi All A few months ago I purchased an American Jazz Bass 5-string. It's great apart from there being a notable drop in volume when both volume pots are full on. I have had a number of jazz basses in the past and this has never been an issue. I recently put in a new wiring loom with a VBT configuration (personal preference), but the issue is still the same with the balance pot in the centre notch. Any movement to either side and the signal strength returns. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Cheers

    The guitarist hates him. Looks like he’s thinking “here he goes. Every bloody night…”
