It is listed as a 'Stage I' which is a thru-neck bass... this is a 'Streamer Bolt-On'... different basses in different price brackets BUT £650 is a good price for a BO but would be a stupid low price for the proper Stage I.

£650 or offers is a decent price for a pukka German manufactured BO bass but I hope nobody buys it without looking at all of the pics and realises it isn't a Stage I. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-Streamer-Stage-1-5-String-96-Model-/231553950069?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e9b0e175

My last band had PLI but they were the only one in 35 years of playing live music.

I've owned/used a few Behringer (PA) products and my only gripe was the Signal to Noise Ratio, which was just too much noise for my liking!

Have I missed something? The Fender MH basses are less than £700 brand new, so why would you bid £720 (+£40 postage... P&P free from most internet shops) for a used one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fender-bass-Mark-Hoppus-/121629436983?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c51adec37

Lakland basses have designations such as 44-60 44-01 55-01 44-94 44-64 etc. but is there a reason behind the number designation? I assume the start digits are 4 or 5 string (why 44 55?), is the 60/64/01/94 a particular model/year that the bass is based upon? How does one easily identify the different models based upon the model numbers?

If you haven't done it before it may be best to either do a practice one on rosewood or Maple or pay a luthier to do it for you. [/quote] Agreed! TBH even if you practice on other basses, you'd still likely as not have chips/slivers out of the fingerboard when you defret.

Didn't even look at the body of the ads but yes, they have different serial numbers.

He can end either auction early. It's a bit naughty and tbh he may be hoping the £999 BIN listing will make folks think they are getting a bargain if they pay any less than that... though they'd be numpties to pay that!

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1428850370' post='2745216'] Looks to me like Ovangkol ...that's where my money is going. [/quote] Defo not Ovangkol on a 'W' bass of that age.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1428847829' post='2745175'] They already have targeted this site. There's a ban on the sale of any Rickenbacker or Rickenbacker clones, look-a-likes etc. [/quote] What 'M' said!

Bubinga as they all are BUT the bottom edge is part of the heart-wood of the tree. The 2002 Ltd Ed Corvette was cut with that pale wood through the centre.

His Peavey bass rig looks good value at £200-300! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Bass-amplifier-and-cab-speakers-/201327418314?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ee00c9bca

[quote name='aLxbass' timestamp='1428743357' post='2744173'] Looks legit to me also [/quote] Yep, I concede it must be legit but that logo looks poor and unlike the P bass logos that I expect... I'll look up a few more MIM logo in future.

In that case I should never be let loose to buy a Fender! That logo looked as fake as a fake thing and I'd have walked away from any 'Fender' that had a logo like that... you live and learn.
