[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1389076999' post='2329557'] I know that Thomann were selling off the Warwick pro series MiK Star basses for around that sort of money earlier in the year. This however, looks like the full on German model. I think you're right to be very cautious. [/quote] They didn't do the Bubinga wood in the Pro Series so it is 100% being advertised as a German one, and it is silly cheap for what it is. Wish I knew someone in Indonesia...

Anyone come across this shop? [url="http://nadamusik.net/"]http://nadamusik.net/[/url] I stumbled across the site and came across a Warwick Star Bass II (list price over 4000 Euros) available for £856: [url="http://nadamusik.net/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=551"]http://nadamusik.net/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=551[/url] Too good to be true? Maybe, as a quick google search revealed this: [url="http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/821672-nadamusik-net-anyone-have-experience.html"]http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/821672-nadamusik-net-anyone-have-experience.html[/url] What do people think? This is a silly deal for a very expensive Warwick. The Specs also suggest it is a 2013 model, which in itself is a little suspicious as I cannot imagine Warwick send many top-end basses to Indonesia (I don't think they send any here at all!). I assume it is too good to be true, but thought it worth posting to see what people thought.

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1388851785' post='2326875'] Nothing 'ltd' about that bass at all! I recently saw a SSI advertised similarly as a 2002 'Anniversary' model (i.e. 20 years after they started) but it was NOT in any way limited... it was simply produced 20 years after their first one! [/quote] I saw that and chuckled to myself! This is indeed a standard FNA Jazzman, perhaps he meant discontinued? Edit: Oops, just read the rest of the description, he is just wrong Maybe he thinks Jazzmans are normal and FNA Jazzmans are LTD? Who knows!

The Aurora strings? They sound like steel, but I was looking for that before I bought and didn't see that they specify.

8 days left? Nothing to get excited about yet. If it does stay under £1200 or so it will be a good deal. Otherwise, for a single pickup pro, not so much I wonder how much Wal would charge to fit a bridge pickup and a filter pre, as it is a lovely example.

Took delivery of a new B7K today, missed mine so much I had to order another! Got a nice surprise too, as Doug/Spencer have revised the design a little. Looks very slick, EQ is in the right order and they have added an additional Attack setting so it is now a 3 way switch. [i]very[/i] welcome addition to me as I always felt it was a bit too bright on the old Attack boost setting, the new settings are cool! Can now either have it set flat, boost the lower treble range or boost the presence. Footswitch seems even quieter, if that is possible! Works so well with Intertia

Have you tried EQ'ing your amp to get that mid control you need? Like Luke, I would be a little surprised if changing the preamp on the bass would help on stage if changing your backline didn't.

And another http://basschat.co.uk/topic/225946-fs-digitech-bass-whammy-rare/page__pid__2324403#entry2324403 When is the bass whammy due to be out, any word?

I had the generic response of using beeswax or lemon oil, neither of which would give the sheen it has. I think it has a finish on it that will probably wear off over time, rather than it be something you can keep applying regularly. No other experience with post 2010 Warwicks for comparison. I should probably ask on the Warwick forum I guess.

Any more info on this?

If I say it is The Bottom Line, do I get a prize?
