Dazed

I couldn’t tell you specifics but there a quite a few Warwick buzzards around from different years of production, 4 and 5 string versions. The earlier ones I believe have the beaky headstock and later ones have the Warwick style. I think I've got a bass mag somewhere from the 90’s with an article about the design of the buzzard with JE and Warwick.

I’ve been looking into shorter scales for a while now, a recent obsession after stumbling across Callowhill on Talkbass. He built quite a few 30” 5 and 6 strings. I couldn’t find a bad review and no issues with scale length, playability. Back to plotting.

Cracking little box. Small enough to lose.... true story

Sad to hear this.

Good to see you back here. Nice, is it a Chronos?

Interesting and a change from the usual. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323788432243

How did you get on with this?

Did you find anything suitable?

Over the past 10 years I’ve used an SWR Redhead ( overkill 😂) left over from my gigging days years ago. Then a small Ashdown, not a fan but it was very cheap and my reintroduction to bass after 10 years away. At some point I had amp GAS and although not gigging fancied something that could be gigged if the need arose and I went for a Markbass CMD 121. A brilliant little combo and very happy with it. Not long after I needed to travel more and wanted a tiny combo I could take with me. I’ve never really settled on using headphones when playing so despite investing in some decent cans I rarely use them . After some research I came across PJB and I’ve been happily using a Phil Jones DoubleFour for several years now. No issues whatsoever. It’s basically the sound of whatever you plug into it. Clean and transparent. As small as you like, so very portable. I was without an amp at some point and found myself buying a tiny all valve RAT modified guitar combo 10 or 20 Watts max. I replaced the 8” speaker with something bass friendly and although it isn’t perfect it does me ok for home noodling. A) it was cheap (ish) should’ve done my homework but bought randomly on a whim. B) can’t get anywhere near it in size or price with something bass oriented. C) Valve tone is TOTALLY different and I’m kinda sold on it, luckily I don’t need a bigger giggable rig. Im thinking of getting one of the tiny Roland combos as I may need another little amp I can leave somewhere and use when I need.

The above post was brought to you today by the Basschat P.C. translator 😂

Just a minor pink torpedo up! 🤯

No it wasn’t that. I didn’t see that.

It isn’t showing in either search. I’ll have to assume it’s been deleted.

Thanks @ped @jrixn1 I’ve seen older threads that have been updated with ‘please delete’ but didn’t realise they got deleted. The particular thread I was looking at last week, but by Saturday, couldn’t find. I’ll take a look at your searches and reply here.

Looking for a for sale thread in the Basses section. Can’t find it scrolling through or using the search function. It was for a Warwick Streamer. Can’t recall the seller either. It was definitely there and my memory hasn’t completely failed 😂

Screw that! Must be a factory production line version i saw. Yeah it was a Korean Pro series.

Do you mean the iroquai design? Or the later Zender signature? ‭Not sure I like the sig that much personally, Warwick seem to do these short lived sig models which are quickly discontinued. I can see the slight Rickenbacker similarity loosely in the shape, from a Streamer/Infinity looking body. Is it standard streamer pickups and preamp? No idea of the value? Probably £2k ish new? Used - who knows, Warwick’s second hand values are all over.

Looks good. Hope you enjoy it. Love my Limelight.

Funnily enough the same thought crossed my mind earlier. How do ( and I apologise as this is probably a thread of its own) Spectors and Warwicks compare? ..............heading off to create a new thread

I didn’t look to see if you had a budget in mind but there must be lots of pj basses about used. I was lucky when I had a precision itch and found a Limelight on here that had a jazz neck fitted. Perfect for me. Although I am a Warwick fan too I’ve been considering a Stage 1 or earlier if it can do the “P” bass thing properly. Not common on the ground to try though........

There is a place in Germany if I recall that make proper tort guards too. Damned if I can remember the name 😂 if that memory returns I’ll post a link up

Like the concept, not a shape I could settle with.
