Sometimes better to join local Facebook 'bass' group and watch for stuff coming up for sale.

Blue [/quote] Band #1 I get £20 per gig out before we do a straight split, this pays for the upkeep of my PA. Band #2 require bigger PA, hence I get a straight split of profit.

Used to do this one; quite pertinent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivrHgl-w-OU

Also NE based here and unfortunately unless you are one of the (very) well established local bands you'll not get much more than you've stated... in fact £210 for a 3 piece is as good as you can expect. I've played in 3/4/5 (and even a 6 at one point) piece bands in the NE for 37 years and I'd say that the pub money is the same now as it was 30 years ago; if I get £60 per night these days I count myself lucky... once or twice lately we've averaged £40 per man!

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1479938362' post='3180491'] Any particular reason you want a Streamer? I only ask because the original Streamer shape is the Spector NS - nicked by Warwick in the '80's. They do tons of models in that shape and IMO are [i][b]better value[/b][/i]. [/quote] No point turning anything into a Warwick/Spector bunfight because what you say is fact... other than value! A proper German made 80's - 90's Streamer will be cheaper than a comparable USA NS bass.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1479928516' post='3180408'] aye - he goes by the same username on here too . [/quote] What Luke said!

You've got everything from Rockbass to full blown Custom Shop and everything between; to describe them all is a tome. It would be easier if you had an idea of budget then you'd get a more concise/clear answer.

Welcome. SE Northumberland for me but I'm often further up the coast swimming.

Sadly you could opt for option #1 @ £100 and still end up with an empty pub!

[quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1479383000' post='3176060'] Would be nice to A/B test the same bass with the original P positioning, maybe it is not a big difference....... [/quote] Not a realistic option really. I have a Warwick Streamer Stage I reverse (as per all Streamers) and a non-reverse Streamer (as per Fender) and the wood density/weight etc is so different that a comparison throws up more questions than it answers.

Hmmm I can see the way this could go.

I could swear that my DB112's used to have a 'pair' of Speakon connectors... are these very old or very new versions?

They are parallel so either will work but... you're better off using #3 the Speakon connector!

ENOUGH... leave well alone and step away from this blasphemous talk of songs other than I IV V IVm. Aside from the huge number of fabulous songs with those chords, many of us are able to dep at the drop of a hat based upon this choice of chord.
