    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1379402544' post='2212114'] Why don't you just get a pre-amp with a passive option? Lol [/quote] the bass does according to the op s sale thread. - just the pups are active too.

    [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1379363060' post='2211866'] Well i had a play through my Fishman pro platinum preamp earlier tonight with both my Esh & my old passive Aria & decided that i am maybee a passive bass bloke. After much messing around i realised that i was basically trying to make my active Esh sound like a passive bass which is not going to happen,so i think its time to move the Esh on & get a passive bass instead. [/quote] I was going to say it could be the pups more than the preamp. My warwick used to have active MEC pups (supposedly Warwick's copy of EMG) and I couldn't stand them. But if you love the passive tone you'll possibly not be happy till you get a passive bass.

    [quote name='King Tut' timestamp='1379372777' post='2212012'] Must be the brass nut folks are going for. Interesting that it's got through body stringing. Don't know of any Squiers that have that. [/quote] thats what i was thinking too

    I play like me. I don't a have a problem making a groove - possibly as my first band used a drum machine so I learned that I could create the pulse by pushing and pulling. I'm not good remembering chords if you shout them out to me, I'ld need to write them down.

    ESP is to LTD as Fender is to Squier except with better quality control in japan obv

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1379195356' post='2209813'] 8 days to go, and over £1200 already. [/quote] so not the worst sales technique!

    for the first time ever this week I've wanted a 5 song I normally play needs a G as the lowest note. Fine on a 4 string. Change key and I now need a bottom C# ... which moves everything an octave above where I would ideally play it on the 4 string.... no help at all to the OP there!

    [quote name='jimbobothy' timestamp='1378880212' post='2205812'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]TTT, had a couple of offers for postal sales but I'm still holding out for a collection, at least for the moment anyhow. Again I'm only selling it at this price as I don't like things hanging around. It is truly a high quality British handmade bass at a [/font][/color][i]very[/i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] reasonable price, and I also like to pass on any bargains I've had on here [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. [/font][/color] [/quote] I could collect... but couldn't pay. Unless you wanted an electric guitar i've got hanging around doing bout

    I don't get it.... why? wasn't GB some of the best stuff out there and seems to get a lot of love on here and talkbass..... ????

    My streamer is about [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]3780g - which is about 8lb 5oz. (same as fionn's) I used to have a Peavey T40 - great bass but I remeber realising it was just under twice the weight of the streamer[/font][/color]

    the bass centre (the one that used to be a shop a short walk from Liverpool st station and then went online only) have them on their website. Not sure they have them in stock or even sure if the shop is still in business.... but they are on the website

    [quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1378999858' post='2207590'] Stick a Proenza Schouler label on it and say they are branching out from handbags. [/quote] I don't even know what that is.

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1378881223' post='2205818'] Flush, groan. [/quote]unintentional....

    i like the look of this bass.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1378842965' post='2205525'] I would be really surprised if it was an eighties bass with the clip on control plate [i]and[/i] MEC pickups rather than EMG, i havn't seen a pre-1991 thumb without screws as i recall. My 1990 thumb definitely did, and i believe your 1992 Streamer definitely doesn't. With regards to the fretboard dots, i think that is a red herring, what with the block inlay at the bottom and all. [/quote] my streamer's a 1991 yeah - maybe you're right - I still think it would be pre1992.... can i come play it roon?!

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1378835644' post='2205372'] The sink or one of the shoes? [/quote] i'm feeling flush, everything, and the kitchen sink

    I've just asked if I can collect it...
  23. LukeFRC
    - as if theres a shop with that many basses in leeds!

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1378763582' post='2204535'] Haha, okay, i would say this would be a NAMM piece that followed the move, so winter Namm 1992 [/quote] I'm going to go 89-90. Purely cos if you were taking something to NAMM you would be showing off your latest basses... which wouldn't have dots on the finger board.... that's my logic anyway.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1378758199' post='2204421'] I love trying to date basses I'm going to plump for the earlier date of my estimation, 1992. [/quote] moved factory mid 1992 init, lots of changes... You going to go early or late 1992 ? . ....Roon don't mind us, it s all bumps!
