    Yes, lower gauge rounds is going to be my next job (when I get paid ) I normally use light 40 - 100 but its currently strung with 45 - 105 on.

    [quote name='Jerry_B' timestamp='1317110331' post='1386715'] Maybe try some flatwounds...? [/quote] Really not a fan of flatwoulds. The bass came with a set of La Bella Deep Talkin flats and it sounded horrible and I have tried other flats on other basses and they just sound and feel horrible to my ears

    Will, do, thank you.
  4. Linus27
    Yes, about the same as when plugged it.

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1317079733' post='1386589'] Take it to the Gallery. They are Warwick Service people and they will do a cracking job. There is no mount on the JAN, just carefully remove the old JAN with a Stanley knife blade as a lever, and sand off any glue residue, then a couple of small drops of superglue on the new one and it should fit perfectly. I have done this a couple of times. There's a guide on the warwick site somewhere on how to fit a new JAN. [/quote] Thanks Nigel, you are a top fella. Will give that a go this week. Thanks to everyone else for the help.

    I am the proud owner on a Warwick Streamer Jazzman and at some point I would like to get it set up and some work done to it. The Just-A-Nut edge clips that hold the nut in place have snapped off and so I have a new Just-A-Nut III which needs fitting. It looks as though the existing Just-A-Nut mouting is different to the new Just-A-Nut III mounting. Rather than take it to any old local guitar shop to fit, I would sooner take it to a recommended or approve Warwick specialist if one exists. Does ayone know of any good Warwick Service Specilaists in or around London/Surrey/Hampshire/Berkshire etc?

    Bump

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1317076693' post='1386563'] Fairly sure it was early 2010 when the Corvette Standard went to Korea. [/quote] Yes it was, April 2010 I think was about the time. So if it is 2009 then it will be German for sure.

    Yes, as far as it will go I think. I might have another look at it all again just to double check. The neck does look quite flat now so its just at the bridge end which could do with lowering so the strings are lower up at the high end of the neck.
  10. Linus27
    Well I managed to lower the strings and it did improve the fretless mwah a little. However, I would like the strings to be even lower but I have lowered the nut and bridge as much as possible and straighted the neck as much as possible and I personally can't get the strings any lower. So for me, the next step is take it to an expert.

    All PM's replied to. Thanks for the various trade offers but I am only after a Warwick Streamer I'm afraid or a sale.
  12. Linus27
    Hey Matt, really sorry but I just can't part with the Stingray. It was a 40th birthday present from my wife and replaces the one I bought when I got my first record deal and sold when I was skint. Your Streamer however is just so perfect
  13. Linus27
    Hey Tom, no the teal Stingray is a keeper for sure. Are you wanting it back then? Thanks, this great is great and in the best colour ever.
  14. Linus27
    Sunday morning bump. I would take £800 for this but no less. Any one??
  15. Linus27
    To be honest I used to get this and still do very occasionally. The reason I got it was I use to play with a plectrum. After 23 years of doing that, I decided to move to fingers which was ok but I found that if I played anything fast or aggresive, my plucking hand just started to freeze and go numb. Thankfully I am aware of it and have tought myself to player softer, not dig in so hard and just relax. I don't reallt get it that much now, occasionally on the odd fast aggresive song. So maybe you were just digging in too hard and playing with too much enthusiasm.
  16. Linus27
    Weekend bump and now available for sale as well as trade.
  17. Linus27
    Wow, an SS1 for £430. Thats amazing although I got my Streamer LX Jazzman for £500 which is a bargain. An SS1 though is just crazy.

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1316691661' post='1381453'] No love for a 30th Anni Ray...? Fit in nicely with the Teal, just need a natural to make a traffic light. [/quote] HEHE I am afraid not, its Warwick all the way from now on

    [b]NOW WITHDRAWN - May consider new trades in the future.[/b] Up for trade or sale is my mint condition MIA Fender Jazz in Olympic white with rosewood neck and tort scratchplate. I bought it brand new from Bass Merchant in May this year so it is in mint condition. I have only used it once at an acoustic gig and the rest at home. It comes complete with the Fender hardcase, tools, tags, owners manual, strap, lead, cloth etc. In fact the accessories bag has not even been opened. The reason I am parting with it is I simply have no use for it as I play my Precision these days. As for trade I am looking for a Warwick Streamer SS1 in natural, a Warwick Streamer LX Jazzman, a Warwick Streamer LX in natural plus cash my way or possibly a Musicman Stingray in natural with maple neck. Let me know what you have and we can go from there. If for sale, then I have been told that around £850 would be about right so something around there would suit me. I am in Surrey so any trial/inspection is welcome. Please find below some pictures. If you require any others then just ask.

    [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1316684709' post='1381285'] Yes I have to agree , I love this combo but why the crap handle it really gets on my nerves , when all their other cabs have those inset handles .. [/quote] Yep have to agree also. In fact, the rubber on mine has started to split and crack which is very poor considering it less than a year old. I hope the rubber bit is just covering a more stable strap inside. Otherwise, if it snaps then I could be in for a bit of bother and pain if it falls on my foot or something.
  21. Linus27
    Yep, pictures and price please.

    [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1316676331' post='1381156'] I'd say put an a trade ad up and go for a SS1. The LX is nice, but really get an SS1 if you can. Trust me on this [/quote] HAHA ok, thank you
  23. Linus27
    [quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1316645931' post='1381026'] Yeah, that's about it. You wanna get it low enough for a *slight* buzz, but not enough to choke the string off. [/quote] Excellent, thank you. I will have a play tomorrow and report back. Cheers for the help everyone.

    [quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1316645660' post='1381020'] Hey guys! Aren't you worried (what, with all the threads on the subject) that, with all this chopping and changing basses, [b]you[/b] won't sound like ...[b]you[/b]? Cos it's a well known fact that yer sound comes from yer bass. So, it stands to reason that if you change yer bass, then, [b]you[/b] won't sound like[b] you[/b] any more. Actually, I have a favourite that I keep coming back to, a 1985 Warwick Streamer that Warwick have recently reworked and given a new lease of life. A couple of instruments haven't seen the light of day for 5 or 6 years. [/quote] Not overly worried as I have a couple of workhorses (Precision and Fretless Jazz) that still sounds like me as the tone is in the fingers or so I am told My other basses are just my bit of fun at home or when I want a bit of variety. Also, nothing wrong with changing your tone from time to time. I am going down the Warwick route at the moment and it compliments by normal tone. Still sounds like me just a bit different I guess or not as the case may be
  25. Linus27
    Ah ok, thank you. I was under the impression that the higher the action, the less mwah and sustain. Am I right that if you go too low, the string can become choked and lose sustain?
