  1. Trade Value: £1500 Very recently purchased this and John (Warwickhunt)'s Streamer Stage I with the intention of keeping one and selling the other. Turns out, I love both of them and want to justify keeping both, however the Red suits me more and I think I may let this one go if someone more appreciative wants it! It's a 1984 Warwick Streamer bass. It's in great condition for it's age, bit of discolouration on the bridge, no real dings to mention in the body and the neck is smooth and fault free. Bass has been waxed and cleaned since the pics below, looking lovely . No issues to speak of and plays with a low action, frets have plenty of life, neck is straight and true. It weighs a remarkably light 7lb 9oz, largely owing to its [i]very [/i][size=4]thin cherry body. It's a wonderful piece of history and a great bass. It pre-dates the 'Licensed by Spector' truss and control covers. I believe the year could be 1983 or 1984, but it was sold to me as 84 so that will do . 114th Streamer ever made. All original as far as I know, with exception to pickup screws (replaced as old one were knarled up) and truss rod cover screws (ones in pictures below have now been replaced with period correct gold screws). EMG pickups and preamp, sounds great with no problems whatsoever. Comes in a non-original hardcase.[/size] [size=4]Pictures:[/size] [size=4][url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/11_zps221ab009.jpg.html"][/url][/size] [size=4][url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/18_zps3d52fad8.jpg.html"][/url][/size] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/24_zps22750036.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/23_zps19f73ac2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/17_zps88e9d47f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/16_zps5f0f0feb.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/08_zpsb8ed9758.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/22_zpsb13ee9d3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/21_zpse23f99f8.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/20_zps797753f0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/09_zpsd35f43dc.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/02_zps6adaffc5.jpg.html"][/url] Full album here: [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/slideshow/Warwick%201984%20Streamer"]http://s75.photobuck...1984%20Streamer[/url] Looking for £1250. Trade value probably looking more like £1500. Interested in Warwicks (SSII, Thumb, Dolphin), unlikely to consider anything else but try me. Still a feeler, could be withdrawn by the weekend, but I'd rather be sensible here
  2. Pro shots of the 84 [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/01_zpsb91fbfb7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/Warwick%201984%20Streamer/01_zpsb91fbfb7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/slideshow/Warwick%201984%20Streamer"]http://s75.photobuck...1984%20Streamer[/url]
  3. My new pair [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/E1ABDD47_zps34de00d4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/Snapbucket/E1ABDD47_zps34de00d4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 1984 Warwick Streamer, 113th Warwick bass, predates even the 'Licensed by Spector' truss rod cover. Great condition for its age, and weighs in on my scales at 7lb 9oz . Not sure if I am going to keep hold of it as I fancy a more growly cousin, think SSII, Thumb, Dolphin, but we'll see, early days! Red is 1990 Streamer SSI, bought off John, gorgeous bass and great tone, my new favourite When the sun appears again I will get some decent pictures!
  4. Inertia is complete [url="http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/inertia.php"]http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/inertia.php[/url]
  5. Always tickled my fancy, these. Never played one, but they do look the b******* for the money. I heard amongst other things it can do a decent Ric impression, if one were so inclined?
  6. Just bought a Warwick from John (what else ), cracking bass and kudos to the fella for being patient with me! Delivered when convenient for me and packed well, can't ask for more. Nice one mate
  7. [quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1382967855' post='2258530'] Make a thin "riser" the size of the bottom of the pedal, out of something like those plastic square ice scrapers for car windows for instance, put velcro under your pedal, and velcro on both sides of the riser and hey presto. [/quote] That's what I did with my tlc
  8. Oof, was tempted by this last time, such ridiculous money for the quality of instrument. What happened to the original MECs? And do you have the Wizards?
  9. Wenge neck that mate, far nice than the ovangkol necks in many players opinion, don't sell yourself short!
  10. Try going on their website Still, very curious about them, how bad is the low end loss in reality?
  11. [quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1382627437' post='2254646'] As far as I can tell, Akai don't have any other highly desirable 'leading' pedals or effects out, I just don't understand why they don't reintroduce this pedal to establish a leading product. They could still sell it for £400 and maintain their integrity. I wouldn't be buying one but it seems like a very profitable venture with a cultivated audience. [/quote] Problem is, after a good starting period, no one will want to pay £400 for it. It's value is based on rarity as much as it is sound, take away rarity and your just left with a decent digital mass produced synth pedal.
  12. The Wonderlove is a development of the groove regular 2, which is a development of the groove regulator Edit: Too slow
  13. Let's try and keep this about the bass and not the price
  14. It may help your sale if you explain why the bass wasn't for you? As I recall, you listed it for sale very shortly after you won it on eBay?
  15. Enjoy the Bass, but as this is a sales thread I would recommend you make a thread in the Bass guitars or Gear Porn section, plenty of pictures!
  16. My custom is still being built, but here is a little progress shot [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/IMAG0492_BURST002_zps77faa507.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/IMAG0492_BURST002_zps77faa507.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  17. I'm not looking for straight trades Please make any other offers by pm. Someone is looking at this bass in the week with a view to buy so you all know.
  18. [quote name='itzing' timestamp='1382173210' post='2248841'] Hi the instrument is realy my sweet bass ..and sounds perfect ... it s in very good condition four your history ...and i thinking only straight trades without money .. the bass is 1992 years NT with original EMG pickups and its the same part 89 - 92 !! The price of Warwick catalogue ( not the same ) 4300 euro !! [/quote] I'll pass, thank you
  19. [quote name='ordep' timestamp='1382130979' post='2248593'] @kev, having owned both, how do you compare it to the new iron ether synth pedal? [/quote] They are really far too Incomparable to comment; completely different pedals trying to achieve completely different things . For a most basic comparioson, the Deep Impact is a all-in-one digital synthesizer for cheesy and funky synth sounds, whereas the Subterranea just creates the squarewave/pulsewave and acts as a master oscillator for an effects pedal chain i.e. you will need a fuzz and filter after it to maximise its usage. You'll never get either to get close to each others sound and use.
  20. [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1382085320' post='2247596'] Having owned most synth pedals on the market. The SB-1 is pretty hard to beat. Is it worth £700..... to me yes as there is no other pedal or pedals that can re-create that sound. [/quote] So, to clarify, having owned them and for whatever reason had to sell them, you would buy one again for £700? I always thought it was just fans that made it the stupid price it is, not actually based on the pedal! It was £85 new! Happy to admit i bought mine following a muse obsession, found that there are a million other factors defining Wolstenholmes sound and was completely disappointed. Then it developed a fault whilst I had it and sold it for around £150. 7 years on from selling mine, I would quite like one back, and may even pay in excess of £200 as it is good for the sounds it does, but £700? The cost of a decent second hand synthesizer? Or a second hand Roland setup? Or a pretty decent bass? Or Amp? Or a complete pedal board? I just don't get it, but then again I guess I don't need to, each to their own
  21. [quote name='molan' timestamp='1382031040' post='2246977'] I'd expect to pay about £600 for one as good as the Deep impact [/quote] Buy yourself a boutique analogue fuzz, envelope filter and pitch shifter for the same money and have a hell of a lot more or, if you want the cheesy sounds, buy a synth
  22. Don't get me wrong, I would quite like to own the pedal again, however I wouldn't be prepared to pay more than you would expect to pay for a fairly limited digital effects pedal.
  23. About £85 iirc? It's just getting stupid now. A couple of owners will defend it's value and there isn't really anything out there like it but the kind of money they are demanding is just silly. I had one, thought it was a good synth pedal but nothing exceptional.
