  4. I have had this bass for a couple of years now and i am thinking about moving her on and having a change. It is a Warwick Thumb NT from the golden age of Warwick, handbuilt in West Germany, gorgeous Bubinga Body with 7 piece Wenge/Bubinga neck, in fantastic condition, couple marks here and there but nothing worth noting. The battery compartment cover is a little loose but nothing to lose sleep over. Neck is the best neck i have played, lovely feel and low action. I have had a 2000 Streamer LX and Corvette Proline 2006 and they were in a completely different league to this bass, trust me the old ones really are as good as people say they are. Specs are as follows:- Bass: Thumb NT 4 string Bass Serial Number: E-****-90 Year: 1990 Month: May Number: 2301 Neck Wood: 7 pcs. Wenge Wood with Bubinga Stripes Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut I Brass Version Neck construction: NeckThrough Construction Body: 2 pcs. Bubinga solid wood Surface: Oil Finish Pickups: JJ MEC Pickups Active Electronic: MEC 2-Band electronics Hardware: Warwick Black Hardware Weight: 10lb 6 oz The bass will come in what i believe was the original Warwick gigbag (but don't hold me to that) with a used tin of Beeswax to keep her fresh. I have polished this bass with liberal amounts of the wax at least once a month since i have owned her, and the wood looks fantastic for it. I value the bass at no less that £SOLD. I am willing to listen to most trades. I am not interested in any Precision bass and nothing made by Fender, nor am i interested in another Warwick as quite simply i don't think there will be one better. Rickenbackers have interested me recently, namely the 4004 models, but wouldn't rule any out. Always been curious about Dingwall and Roscoe basses, would love to try one. I can add up to £300 for the right bass. Let me know if you are interested!

  5. [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1369907592' post='2094195'] The "Era" knob seems way too subtle... but then with that combo everything was a subtly different shade of brown, sh*t-brown. [/quote] Tis interesting, as the era knob seems quite the opposite of subtle in the sound samples i have heard. Mine should hopefully be with me next week so we shall see! I envisage running the Vintage into the B7K could bring about some rather desirable results.
  6. [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1369936588' post='2094747'] I'd say DHA VT1. Might be slightly bigger footprint than you're after but it's WELL worth the size. They're the canine's testicles! I think they a use 500mA supply, but the 1spot delivers 1700mA, so that shouldn't be a problem. Newer ones use centre negative, but the older ones use centre positive, this one should see you right... [url="http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page55aa.html"]http://www.davehalla...k/page55aa.html[/url] [/quote] I havn't checked the link, but given it's a valve pedal i would assume it still uses an AC power supply, rather than DC? If so, you couldn't power this from a One Spot. EDIT - Checked the link, turns out it does accept DC power which is a first for me, however it prefers 12v to 9v, so would still recommend a separate isolated 12v power supply to power such a pedal.

    3-4 week build time but once received I shall report back. Until then, I shall wait very impatiently!

    I can't remember having this much GAS over something i have never played with nor even heard samples of. I really hope he has got this right.
  10. [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1369818018' post='2092963'] I repaired a green Russian Muff for a friend which had more than one bad solder joint, so it's definitely a weak spot on these. Actually I was surprised how shonky the insides looked for something which is considered such a holy grail of fuzz! It did sound good though... [/quote] If you remember how cheap these were when they were sold new, you probably wouldn't be surprised at all!
  11. Bump
  12. I went for a Gigrig system, just seems to be the most powerful and flexible system out there
  13. Just when i though i had bought all the Iron Ether pedals i could want... [url="http://ironether.com/pedals/subterranea/"]http://ironether.com/pedals/subterranea/[/url] This things sounds fantastic and nothing like anything else out there at the moment, fairly typical design from Taylor then! No sound samples yet, other than the sound sample on the Xerograph Deluxe page which clearly involves this. Want.
  14. I usually have at least some dirt on, the Pwnzor really fattens things out, just struggling to figure out whether I like it near the beginning or end of he chain.
  15. Withdrawn for now, I don't think I'm quite ready to let this go!
  16. I'm happy with my gigrig setup, generator has 5000ma to play with, and you can buy all sorts of modular add-ons to accommodate any DC pedal. Voodoo labs would be another option, possibly more suited to a smaller setup.
  17. Up for sale I have my 3Leaf Wonderlove pedal. In excellent condition with a couple of marks on one side and Velcro on bottom,, bought new from bass direct for £215 earlier this year, in the now discontinued purple etched finish, stunning pedal! Just find myself preferring my Xerograph and can't justify having 2 filters, much as I would like to! Very customisable filter with loads if options, basically an upgraded groove regulator. £Sold shipped in the UK, no offers please [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/2F05E676_zps7d8720da.jpg.html"][/url]
  18. If a bit if warmth is all you need, have a look at the Phat Phuk B
  19. We are victims!
  20. Ah, fair enough I may have ordered a vintage following that post anyway...
  21. Can I be the second to know? A Vintage is really tempting me!
  22. I thought Diago was George L rebranded...
  23. Thanks guys. The Phat phuk is great, I leave it on, drives all the pedals really well, even the OC-2 sounds fatter and seems to track better with it on before it, great stuff

[URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/d2162639-c54f-4d2a-b59d-e3d46b7eb2de_zpsccccd1fa.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/Snapbucket/d2162639-c54f-4d2a-b59d-e3d46b7eb2de_zpsccccd1fa.jpg[/IMG][/URL] My latest board, on a PT2 powered by Gigrig and cables with George L and a couple of neutrik/vandamme cables. Wonderlove (Phat Phuk > OC-2 > Oxide) > Xerograph (controlled by EP-2) > Polytope > Nimbus > B7K Loving it, and should be adding a Microtubes vintage in the near future!
  25. Some quality stuff there mate, have you considered upgrading your patch leads? You will be surprised at the difference some quality cables can make to your tone!
