[quote name='ste_m3' post='248398' date='Jul 26 2008, 01:24 PM']In a strange and horrible turn of events, Both of these are now for sale. I want £390 for the markbass and £425 for the schroeder. Im tempted to just get a bass DI box and do a bit of a geddy, moneys going to be hard to come by in the next few months I could be tempted by any trade that would involve a fair bit of cash my way. Maybe high quility small combos - markbass - Ashdown ABM? Cheers guys, and sorry to all those who ive had partial deals with! I believe ive PM'd everyone involved.[/quote] ahh man, if you were quicker to put it up for a cash sale at those prices then i would have had both off you...hope everything is ok though mate.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='248572' date='Jul 26 2008, 06:45 PM']Not a lot of people know this but... The Warwick Thumb was originally designed as a headless bass! Warwick didn't like the aesthetic and put the headstock on.[/quote] I knew that - it kind of backs up the argument that they just don't look 'right'...whatever 'right' may be.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='248578' date='Jul 26 2008, 07:02 PM'] just playing devils advocate [/quote] as always I'd give my 2 pence worth on this if I hadn't already given about a quid fifty's worth to some other threads that are very similar to this one. I’m not getting involved in enclosure design or comb filtering debates again, despite how fun they may be

ahh man! Very impressive for half of £1299. Get it over in the Porn section!

Met up with Paul to buy his Epifani UL310 today. Great guy to deal with and an amazing cab too.

Oh sh*t, I’ve just had a massive déjà vou moment. Not this old debate again…are there not about 10 threads on this already?
-
even if it's not, it looks like a good copy. I don't know how reasonable £300 would be for a good copy though? I'm not up with my Rick' knowledge
-
yeah im waiting to hear what it is as well...and pics!

You’re not going to believe this, but it’s happened again – when I closed my browser and opened a new one. It’s not really that annoying but if it’s an issues with the site then it would be good to get it sorted, but I’m thinking it’s most likely to be something at my end if it’s specifically when I close the browser and open a new one?
-
and i think it just done it again...it seems to be doing it every time i close my browser and open a new one?! There's either something going on at my end or the site/server is being weird tonight

Worth a bit more than £540 me thinks (even with the current market and a few dings and marks)…That’s not just a Thumb, it’s one of the rarer and more sought after JD Thumbs. I’m sure Warwickhunt will be over in a minute… One was sold a couple of months ago at a ridiculous £400 on ebay via the Buy It Now feature, but the seller was either scamming or didn’t have a clue what he had.

fancy chucking it in with the Epifani? just kidding, I've got a nice surround setup anyway

[quote name='Matt_UK' post='247167' date='Jul 24 2008, 06:56 PM']I dont think thats going to put me off, as you said its a rare occurrence and most of them have been fixed by now ! I think im gradually getting swayed by the SSI, its such a beautiful bass and your comments have pretty much firmed up my thoughts . Im glad that with your experience you can only find one or two (quite minor) problems in an otherwise amazing bass thats been around for a long time now ! Another quicke quessie; obviously Just A Nut III's are all the rage now and seem to be a well designed, well thought out bit of kit. I've heard that the JAN II's could get uncomfortable and/or painful if you catch your hands on them and that the JAN I's were subject to a bit of buzzz. Do I need to pick this aspect of the bass carefully and could you tell me which years each JAN was implemented? Thankyou again![/quote] TBH, a lot of people rave about the older brass nuts. I’ve played a couple of older Warwicks with them on and they feel great – no buzz issues that you’ve mentioned. My 3 Warwicks all have the plastic JAN II on them though (I think it’s the II – The youngest has a 2004 serial number and oldest is a 2000), so that’s just what I’ve got used to and I think they’re great – very easy to adjust and set up although they do have sharp plastic edges that do hurt when you accidently grab hold of it. I think aesthetically, the brass nuts look a lot better than the plastic ones and each string is also individually fully adjustable which is an advantage over the plastic ones which are only adjustable in 2 places. I recently got a SSI and it’s great. Really light compared to a lot of Warwicks and it’s fitted with a great sounding and super powerful Aguilar 18V preamp. It feels and growls like a Warwick should

[quote name='ste_m3' post='247206' date='Jul 24 2008, 07:47 PM']I was supposed to just be referring just to the CL in my post, If thats not what i said, thats what i meant to say!![/quote] yeah they both have the same 2ohm or 4ohm output (a very similar power stage circuit as well, so I’ve been lead to believe). I've run my SVT-CL with a single 8ohm cab in the past but I didn’t run it at high levels as i didn’t really know if it would have been causing any damage. I’d definitely not recommend running it with an 8ohm cab at high levels for a prolonged period of time, or in other words, for a gig. Changing those power valves can be very expensive :wacko:

ah damn it, i would have had that scart to s-video if i was 45mins quicker

[quote name='WILD FROG SHOT' post='246788' date='Jul 24 2008, 12:40 PM']I'm looking forward to buying lots of things that I really don't need (& really can't afford) from the Marketplace.[/quote] Yes, GAS is common around these parts and currently destroying my savings/bank account…is that the bailiffs I hear coming? Welcome to BC mate

It looks like a mandolin…I don’t really like it. I think they should stick to what they know best. My guitarist’s AC30CC2X is amazing.
