[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1449531601' post='2924497'] Yay, someone clarified which NE they're talking about in the title of a thread. Thank you, you've made my night [/quote] ...but it is NOT the NE of anywhere!

When was S Yorks/Hull declared NE?

[quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1449413048' post='2923291'] I have heard good things from the tone pump, just not sure whats best as I never experiment with preamps. Maybe I should! [/quote] If you are buying the likes of the Tonepump used for that price, you can afford to experiment.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1449396904' post='2923082'] Have you already tried to contact the makers with your issues..? Could they not help..? [/quote] Yes Warwick will defo help... they'll sell him a brand new MEC pre circa £250. EMG pups will work with pretty much any active preamp; MEC EMG SD Aguilar... personal taste as to which to go for. Look on the BC sales section, I'm fairly sure there is a Spector Tonepump going for less than £50.

I'd sell the bass... patently at a MASSIVELY reduced price; I'll take it off your hands, as a favour. A replacement MEC can turn up but EMG and Aguilar have worked well for me in the past.

Feedback is your first stop, then you make the call on payment. Paypal is best for you but some (inc' me) don't like it/won't use it. However, if the user is long term with loads of feedback then I'd not be unhappy with bank transfer. Insurance on delivery is dependent on courier; some (parcelforce) don't even give insurance, Interparcel/UPS might cost a nadge more (not always) but you are covered.

Lots of small lightweight bass cabs now available and not withstanding that I've not heard these, I'd say they are pricey when compared to the likes of TKS.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1446310863' post='2898532'] No it isn't [/quote] Correct! LOL Even when I went back and looked it still looked wrong initially.

Rarer than a rare thing... especially as it is LH!

Replacing pups wouldn't in and by itself guarantee you an aggressive modern tone, the tone of a bass is the same of the parts; is your MiM ash, whereas the JV Alder, weight/density/resonance all affect tone.

Warwick Streamer (NT) 7lb 4oz... I also have an Aria Sinsonido which is lighter BUT some of the body is fresh air so it doesn't count IMHO.

[quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1443456255' post='2874856'] Tried to message him via facebook, but it seems to be locked down to outsiders - anyone have his email or anything? Or suggest anyone else? cheers Deek. [/quote] I'll message him and see what the craic is.

Now isn't that interesting! I've done an A/B with these in the flesh and I could defo tell them apart at the time BUT I'd be hard pushed to be 100% sure based on the recordings... though I 'think' I can tell which is which!

Rubbing down and rewaxing is fine (you can warm a bit of wax up and it will penetrate better but not compulsory). Shaving it down is another matter; I'm unsure how much meat can be taken off or how deep the truss rod rout is.
