  1. [quote name='Captain Rumble' post='632537' date='Oct 21 2009, 04:43 PM']Cant believe no one wants this got to be a bargain Bump[/quote] I think everyone must be broke like me
  2. [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='630599' date='Oct 19 2009, 06:18 PM']Looks like a number 8....! Actually, it might be an `infinity' inlay - looks a bit like MOP to me. Wilkes (sorry shaggy) had two brass plates inset at the end of the board for `all those thumbing smack players' (that was in their advert back in the day!). Nick[/quote] Yes it is an infinity abalone inlay (long story) I've would love to buy it back but i have no idea who owns it now
  3. It reminds me of one that i sold around 5 years ago, the only difference is mine was fretless,
  4. [quote name='metaltime' post='630057' date='Oct 19 2009, 09:04 AM']Man how dark is the Wenge neck on the other thumb in the photo. I love Wenge necks.[/quote] Oh yes,, The wenge neck on that bolt on 6 is almost black & is a real joy to play
  5. Monday morning bump
  6. Bump for £1350 & that's a bargain
  7. [quote name='Captain Rumble' post='629505' date='Oct 18 2009, 02:56 PM']I have only just managed to figure out what to do with 4 strings, what are the other 2 for ? Thanks for the offer but I really need the cash Have PM'd you John[/quote] I'll let you know when i've worked it out myself, Looks good though Cheers John, Pm'd you back, Al
  8. I'm looking to sell my warwick thumb nt6 fretless, It's in unmarked condition apart from a little wear on the pickups from the strings, the body & neck are mint, Unlined ebony fingerboard,bubinga body, wenge & bubinga neck, Bartolini pickups. £1500ono+postage Only selling as i'm hoping to buy a wal
  9. I would so swap my 89 warwick nt6 fretless for this I'm on the isle of wight so could meet in portsmouth no problem
  10. As long as it's not one of the cheaper rockbasses 350 sounds cool,
  11. [quote name='budget bassist' post='627511' date='Oct 16 2009, 01:40 AM']haha cool, it would be interesting in hearing the sound difference as i've always been a little skeptical as to how much difference changing a lump of metal would actually make![/quote] The original one was a bit like a fender bridge that sat on top of the body, this warwick bridge is routered into the body by around 5mm & the string anchor too, so maybe thats why it made a difference,
  12. [quote name='budget bassist' post='627462' date='Oct 15 2009, 11:20 PM']nice, what are the mods other than the bridge and the headstock?[/quote] The only other things are the nut (justa nut1) & the truss rod cover, next will be gold warwick machine heads to match the bridge & knobs. She wanted the mec 2 band eq but since we fitted the bridge it has changed the tone & it sounds really vibrant now, I gigged this bass twice & had some really nice comments on the sound
  13. [quote name='budget bassist' post='627384' date='Oct 15 2009, 09:52 PM']maybe she'll get the real thing some day is it a westfield? nice work on the headstock either way[/quote] Yes it's a Westfield, I think she wants a streamer stage1 5 string but this is ideal for her to learn on & she plays it more now its been modified
  14. Now i have all three together (one belongs to my daughter & it wants to be a warwick Sooooo Badly!!)
  15. [quote name='DrVet' post='624689' date='Oct 13 2009, 08:28 AM']It's a 805 cc engine, dont't ask me about the horse power....I'm ashamed of how damn low it is comparing to its engine[/quote] As long as it does the job, You could ride that all day with no trouble at all, i can only stand short journeys on mine then my wrists tell me to stop The power is addictive though :brow: Hopefully your spector will be on it's way to you soon, i'm just sat here waiting for it to be collected by the courier
  16. [quote name='DrVet' post='624681' date='Oct 13 2009, 08:12 AM']wow....that's faaast mine is a little slower '07 Suzuki INTRUDER , chek it out[/quote] I bet yours is alot more comfy than my r1, What size engine is that?
  17. Pm for ya
  18. [quote name='JensWest' post='621799' date='Oct 9 2009, 04:55 PM']You bet ya! The back wheel's only 18" too. Gives alot of momentum. It's a Suzuki RM250 with Öhlin hydrolics and some other modifications. The pic's taken just after I was finish restoring it after hitting a tree doing a wheely in third gear.[/quote] Ouch!! Bet that hurt! The RM250 is a 2stroke Right? I love 2strokes, I've just sold a Yamaha rd350lc, Do you remember them?
  19. [quote name='JensWest' post='621759' date='Oct 9 2009, 04:10 PM']Ok. Congrat's! And nice bike! Here's mine : [/quote] That Looks alota Fun, Big back sprocket=big wheelies :brow: Is it a Husky?
  20. [quote name='JensWest' post='621463' date='Oct 9 2009, 11:31 AM']Didn't CK change the tonepump for another preamp? Or did he change it back before he sold it to you?[/quote] Yes he changed it back so it has the original tonepump in it, it's off to Romania on monday as i've traded it for a nice warwick streamer pro m 5
  21. [quote name='DrVet' post='621255' date='Oct 9 2009, 07:00 AM']roger that! by the way...nice bike [/quote] Hi F, I had to kick that one out of bed I've got a lovely 98 r1 now, Check it out,
  22. [quote name='12stringbassist' post='620850' date='Oct 8 2009, 06:36 PM'] Streamer Chrome Tone. Walnut Custom Shop Thumb NT.[/quote] I bet that Thumb sounds nice, My 6 string bolt on has a walnut body & has a sweeter sound than bubinga or ovankol.
  23. Now on hold pending a trade with DrVet
  24. [quote name='Spoombung' post='619467' date='Oct 7 2009, 12:25 PM']Wal used to offer a Fender body option. I was one of the few people who took it up.[/quote] I didn't know that, So that must make your bass very unique & very rare & very nice too
  25. [quote name='Spoombung' post='619451' date='Oct 7 2009, 12:08 PM']PS. I've just realised that Paul Herman fellow is the one who discovered the sycamore [i]in a skip[/i] in [i]Leeds[/i]...that's the sycamore that sports the front and back of my bass! [/quote] Thats an odd shape for a wal?? Lovely bass though
