  1. Wow, Masterpiece is a very apt name in this case!😍
  2. **the best upgrade you can ever make to your hifi and you dont even have to pay for it!!! Im moving in 1 week - please dont let these end up in a skip!!!** ** Dimensions are 700w x 1000h x 100d - that is the main panel. The base they sit on adds 400mm of height.** DIY Room Treatment Accoustic Panels - 4 for FREE! These were built by myself and used, very succesfully at Scalford(best HiFi show in the country!) twice and in my living room for the last 7 years to bring out the best in my HiFi. WAF(wife approval factor) is probably somewhere around the zero mark and they will need new cloth as the existing cloth is a little bit manky but the frames and the rockwool are in good order - the "stands" are easily removed from the main frame for transport/maintenance(ie. replacing the cloth). Cost me over £100 in materials to build these and the difference they make is staggering. Only selling due to moving country. Collection only from Dudley, DY3 Further details here from my previous threads on these panels over at hifi wigwam: https://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum/topic/50868-diy-room-accoustic-treatment/?tab=comments#comment-1010480 https://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum/topic/51086-chriss-diy-accoustic-treatment-panels-part-2/?tab=comments#comment-1014221 Pic from my first time exhibiting at Scalford HiFi Show : Pics as they are now:
  3. Lovely bass but @TheGreek isnt it an RS940?
  4. **please note that this bass is now located in Bendorf 56170, Germany** Shipping worldwide is of course still possible My clear out due to moving country is almost complete - this is the final bass I am selling and I've saved the best till last. No trades please as I am looking to make space. This is a 2006 Warwick Streamer LX Jazzman, built in Germany and comes with a brand new ABS hardcase from Thomann. Worldwide fully insured shipping available at cost - normally £25 UK, £55 EU, £75-£105 for everywhere else. The reputation of these super versatile basses generally proceeds them but in case you dont know, these are highly sort after and the tonal range and quality really helps set them apart from the crowd. Thanks to the MM-style pickup with 3-way coil tapping options and the ability to combine these with the jazz pickup or solo either of the pickups. On top of that you also get a 3 band EQ and active passive switching so these really are the basses for all occassions! The bass has a bit of a story - apparently it has has been fettled by the well respect luthier Jon Shuker. Jon replaced the dodgy Warwick truss rod with a 2-way rod of his own - meaning there are no neck related gremlins to fear with this Warwick! The work also involved a new Wenge fretboard with stainless steel frets. The neck profile was reduced slightly(front to back) and refinished with a light poly coat. The back of the headstock was also sanded during this work and so the last 2 digits of the serial(indicating the model year) have vanished but it is an '06 - see below details from the Warwick website. He also touched up the Ocean blue finish a little bit and recoated the body with a blue tint PU finish. Lastly he sunk the bridge saddle block into the body a touch more as the action wouldn't go as low as the previous owner would have liked. Obviously the bass has been used since this work was caried out so there are a few scratches to the new finish and some of the touch up work can be seen - please check the photos carefully as I have tried to show any imperfections in them. High res photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/q9eXwN8n9Epen3Lm6 So what we have is a beautiful looking, playing and sounding German Streamer LX Jazzman that functions perfectly - including the electronics obviously. The bass weighs 4.3kg. Serial number: b 123022 06 Article number: 1214360200GDAFHOWW produced: Description: Streamer, 4-string Ocean Blue Oil finish Swamp Ash/AA Flamed Maple top body Ovangkol neck Gold hardware Made in Germany
  5. Its actual for a 'Tri-Sound' Aria Pro II - Tri-Sound is the name of the model of bass from the Pro II lineup. Should fit most Pro II though and you could probably scrub the Tri-Sound bit off if you have a different model😉
  6. The confusion over the model name is rife and quite understandable. Regardless, these are phenomenal basses.
  7. My clearout due to moving country continues... with that in mind - no trades please. Up for sale is the newly re-fretted Aria SB-Elite II / SB-ELT / SB-RSZ Model history: so here is what I know of the history behind this model(thanks to @Fionn for this info!): when it was first released, they called it the SB-Elite II, but changed it to SB-ELT shortly after, so it wouldn’t be confused with a previous model named SB-Elite II. Anyway, Rudy Sarzo was playing one, so when they got him to endorse it they renamed it the SB-RSZ. All. 3 different names in only 3 years of production. Meanwhile, in Japan, they called it the SB-800 the whole time, despite the fact that there was already a bolt-on single pickup model with that name.... Bass History: Anyway, back to this particular bass - it was originally fretted but somewhere along the line became a fretless which is how I bought it back in 2018. I had it professionally refretted by a local luthier (Tony Wright of Lakestone Guitars) so it is now back in it's original form. Whilst it was being refretted I took the hardware and got it shot-blasted to get rid of the tarnish on the gold hardware - the hardware now has a nickel-like finish which looks much nicer IMO. It isnt perfect though - the gold finish was heavily tarnished and so the shot-blasting worked well but in a couple of small areas it went a bit further so there are some areas where that are slightly unsightly - I am being picky here as this is a 30+ year old bass but I want to be as honest as possible. The bass in general is in very good condition for its age but again there are a few little bumps and knocks commensurate with normal use - certainly not abuse! I have tried to capture all of these in the photos so please study them carefully - there is nothing of any real significance other than a slight crack near the jack - the bass is rock solid, everything works perfectly including the truss rod and electronics. All the pots and switches have been cleaned and work perfectly. Did I mention this bass sounds epic? Not to mention versatile, despite being passive! It features VVT controls and two coil tap switches to give you plenty of tonal varieties to chose from. The natural tone of this bass is quite bright and clear with a hot output. The bass is all original and I believe the case is also original to the bass. There is a small screw missing from the control cavity cover but otherwise it is complete and fully functioning. The same luthier that refretted it has just given it a pro setup with new Warwick Red Label strings. The ergonomics are excellent - perfect access to all frets , comfortable playing standing or sitting thanks to the body shape and contours. This bass weighs exactly 4kg and the balance is as perfect as it gets. The neck has a jazz neck feel to it - ie thin and fast. I think that covers all of it - if you have any questions please let me know. Worldwide shipping available at cost - I have a box to pack the bass and case in to for added protection.

  8. Beautiful bass! Love that birdseye maple! They are definitely Schaller tuners - that is their logo on the back and they look like every other Schaller tuner - the good news is they are excellent tuners!
  9. One of my dream basses! Thank god im downsizing otherwise i would have this. Note to seller - have a look at Transferwise.com as a cheaper and better alternative to Paypal for international transfers/payments. Ive used it a couple of times including on here when selling my Streamer Stage II and it is brilliant - better exchange rates and much lower fees than PayPal. GLWTS!
  10. Amazing! Love the colour and rare to see a coloured wick from this era with an actual serial number!
