bump

Nice bit of 'wick history there, not too many BO (non LX) Streamers about

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1407878764' post='2525069'] It's turning into a sort of discussion about HPW's skills and know-how... certainly out of topic and not very interesting for me The bass is still available, though. Several offers but it's still here. [/quote] I agree and apologise for derailing, I should know better If I don't end up being the buyer, GLWTS!

Okay, he certainly built early Warwicks bud, why do you think otherwise, out of interest? Perhaps a conversation for a different thread, but I am curious Hope John doesn't mind, but here is an extract of email sent to him from Hans about Thumb 6 #27...

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1407875524' post='2525014'] As I said, no chance Hans Wilfer had something to do with the build of this bass. He's a businessman, not a luthier by any means. But yeah, I think this is a nice collectors item (and of course a very nice sounding and playing instrument). [/quote] Not true, that one. It is quite possible he was involved in making this. He built the other 88 thumb 6 that was sold on here a while ago, had an email from the man himself saying so

9v standard boss type. I believe both drive circuits are fitted with an 18v voltage doubler inside for extra headroom

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1407696587' post='2523130'] It's H007 88. [/quote] ahhh, birth year thumb alert! There is a chance a bass purchase may fall through, if it does I could well be getting in touch about this!

Lovely bass! But let's keep trade offers to pm only please, folks

Another pedal I have literally just picked up, however my Darkglass pedals give me the drive sounds I need and, as amazing as this is, it is overkill for me! You know what this is, guys on Talkbass love it and rave about its versatility. Basically the swiss army knife of drive pedals. Two drive circuits, bass signal is split depending on the frequency set with the crossover control, so allows you to distort the low and high end completely separately. Almost any drive sound can be emulated with this thing, including Darkglass B3K/B7K sounds and wonderful valve type overdrive. http://youtu.be/xItfn5_gxr4 In mint condition and comes with box, manual and some setting examples. He is only selling these direct at the moment AFAIK, you are looking at $299.99 plus ~$30 shipping and another $70-$80 in customs fees, however I am only looking for the bargainous price I paid, £180 shipped in the UK.

As if this is back to haunt me! I can't play fretless, I can't play fretless......

That is a superb price!

[quote name='dodge_bass' timestamp='1407681752' post='2522926'] Any interest in any of those items I listed above? [/quote] Keep trade offers to pm please Best overdrive pedal ever made, superb. And by a company run by excellent people too

Bought this on a whim only last week to give it a whirl, however I prefer my WMD filter so this will now have to go! Good condition and works perfectly, comes in a MXR Line Driver box, if that sort of thing bothers you! Looking to get back what I paid, so £SOLD shipped in the UK Cheers!

Bump for an awesome instrument

[quote name='aj5string' timestamp='1407255659' post='2518856'] 2nd on the MXR if Kev doesn't have it? [/quote] I'll let you know if I don't get on with it mate

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1407244895' post='2518697'] Great price on the MXR, my fave filter!! Si [/quote] Indeedio
