  1. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1508521308' post='3392779'] If you think Status and Steinberger basses have a woody, organic tone then one of us needs our ears testing. [/quote] Status make lots of different models, some are 95% wood construction so chances are...
  2. Im currently waiting for DPD to deliver my Warwick Infinity SN TCS, I think this just qualifies to be in this thread?
  3. German made 5 string 'wick in excellent condition for £550? bargain!!!
  4. are you able to take a photo of the screw and measure it with a digital caliper please? If so then we will be better able to advise you on where you can get a replacement. or chances are I have one in my spares drawer and can send it to you FOC.
  5. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1508331915' post='3391416'] For me, these Warwicks in white are arguably one of the best looking basses you can get! [/quote] thank you very much, I was very happy with my colour choice - this was originally a black poly finish. I had a local luthier strip the old finish and then refinish it as you see it for the grand total of £170! Money well spent IMO! In case anyone is wondering about the colour of the hardware, it was originally gold plated (all solid brass) but had oxidised heavily so I shot blasted it and it now looks like nickel(I guess that is part of the plating process?). I think it looks pretty sexy but I am rather biased lol.
  6. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1508318815' post='3391271'] TWO HUNDRED AND WHAT??!! [/quote] I would agree with the what but nothing else
  7. my turn! [url=https://postimg.org/image/3o23peee7f/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/4uley06ijf/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/1w94uhxlwr/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/2s5m9y7psb/][/url]
  8. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1508326903' post='3391360'] Double P is very aggressive and mid forward and a good deal louder than most other Warwick's I've had. Perhaps lacking a touch in the bass department when the bridge is solo'd, not surprising given the position of the pup. Preamp a little limited, tempted to install a Darkglass Pre to have more control of the mids. Preamp doesn't seem to be the usual MEC 2 band, voiced differently to my ears. Thumb neck is bubinga stringers [/quote] thanks for the info Kev. Never understood the desire to install a 2band pre in a bass that controls only treb and bass. Surely treb and mids is much more useful for a bassist as there are plenty of options on your amp to increase bass if you ever need to. btw, speaking of Streamers with 2 band pres... here is my late 80's Streamer with EMGs refinished from a black poly: [url=https://postimg.org/image/3o23peee7f/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/4uley06ijf/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/1w94uhxlwr/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/2s5m9y7psb/][/url]
  9. [quote name='funkyjimbob' timestamp='1502369341' post='3350988'] Here's a pic of my Buckeye Burl Custom Shop Streamer Stage 1 from a gig a few days ago [/quote] thats a stunner mate! Is that a ramp between the neck pup and fretboard? hard to tell from the angle...
  10. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1507766492' post='3387886'] Two of my current trio [/quote] what a pair of beauts! how does that double p config sound? especially with the mirrored arrangement... the back of that Thumb is very tasty. I take it the neck is Wenge with cherrywood streamers(forgive me if that isnt the correct term)?
  11. They are now £150 or best offer: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stagg-Electric-Stick-Bass-/332415784359?hash=item4d658655a7:g:cp8AAOSwe7lZ5Pcv
  12. Does it even have a truss rod? Or do you have to remove the neck pup to access it???
  13. I think it looks great. Much better than just another boring black box!
  14. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263254023360 Seems like a bargain?
  15. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1507531649' post='3386012'] Streamers were/are made from 83(ish) - 2017. If yours has factory EMG's chances are it is 80's possibly early 90's but EMGs are an option still today. Poly finishes generally obliterate (fill) the serial number but it isn't hard to approximate dates from the NT stringers/volutes/dot inlays/bridge/tuners etc. [/quote] Thank you. I am unsure of the stringers due to the poly finish, no volute, MOP dot inlays, solid brass bridge, Schaller tuners.
  16. [quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1507476975' post='3385722'] Beautifully made and very versatile, but dear god, that huge pickup is fugly... [/quote] As is the cover for the electronics on the back!
  17. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1507485947' post='3385808'] It's very uncommon with natural oil finishes, very common on the vintage poly finished basses 🙂 [/quote] Oh ok. Thanks for the info. Do you know roughly when these were made? Mine is a 4 string PJ with EMGs
  18. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1507474824' post='3385703'] Yeah plenty of pics will help, as will a photo of the top of the headstock as its odd (but not impossible) that there is no serial (even the very first Streamers had one). [/quote] Definitely not impossible. I have what I think is an early 90s Streamer with no serial whatsoever. Even after removing the polyurethane finish we still couldn't find anything.
  19. [quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1507193053' post='3383774'] I'm not sure why a brass nut would need replacing any less frequently than an alternative - not that nuts need replacing very often. Brass is quite a soft metal. [/quote] I've never heard of a brass nut needing replacing. All the vintage basses with stock brass nuts I've seen still have the original nut on. Brass may be a relatively soft metal but it's still pretty bloody durable. I should know as I've crafted nuts out of solid brass myself.
  20. Damn that is a good looking bass and looks to be very good value as well. Deal with Mac with confidence!
  21. luckily I already have a 5er or I would be all over this!
  22. "[i]looks great just hanging on a wall[/i]"??? Not as good as it would look in a skip or a bonfire!
