More than most... not as many as some who shall not be named.

[quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1435998666' post='2814217'] Why not trade a Warwick for a Stingray? They're equivalent market prices, but very very different experiences playing and sound wise. [/quote] Glad you got sorted On the matter of W / MM trade... I suppose the values depend on which model W folks are thinking about. There's a multitude of W basses but only one model of Stingray!

[quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1435701976' post='2811728'] A hamer 5? Dont know them [/quote] Ooooops that is the 4 but the 5 is identical [url="http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/19138_Used_Cruise_Bass_2Tek_Bridge_644367_a_zpsaaso3jsl.jpg.html"][/url]

VFM find a Hamer 5 with the 2tek bridge.

[quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1434755095' post='2802670'] yeah, that's the one! No volute - so I guess its the one with the replaceable truss rod. Looks like an all wenge neck. It's 50 quid postage though... good grief. I reckon the best thing about warwicks is that they have so many moving parts, but the worst thing about warwicks... is that they have so many moving parts... You can fine tune EVERYTHING, but it means all those little grub screws get calcified and locked-down, then you spend 6 hrs on the web trying to find replacements. Those are my concerns with these things. [/quote] The only grub screws that seize are the ones on the saddles... which are no better/worse than any other bass and they all have them. The nut screws don't seize and I've never heard of the bridge adjustment bolts seizing. Don't imagine that the truss rod has to be kapput, there are loads without issue; the fact it doesn't have a volute doesn't mean that the truss rod can/will come out by tipping it upside down.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1433073405' post='2787505'] Well of course the 21012L is fitted with a 12" driver... [/quote] The latest flavour appears to be modular 1x12 or 2x12.

The idea of a single P in a Streamer body actually appeals to me but I'd not spend $6000 on ANY bolt-on neck Warwick (actually I'd not spend that on any bass). I can't see the justification for that price tag over any regular CV bass; CS or not it will surely be made with the same components from the same machinery in the same factories.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1433070734' post='2787459'] Sounds a very interesting cab... don't see too many about tho. They may be a discerning secret...? [/quote] Wasn't too long ago when they were cropping up but we've now moved onto the 12" period of bass goodness.

Black headstock face, maple tuners and truss rod plate... sorry, they don't work for me at all.

It'll do neither amp nor cab any harm but lending gear for a festival... rather you than me!

Michael will probably own 100% of the Maruszczyk basses by the time we organise a bash!

Shame we don't have a 'like' button!

Don't you need to get a permission certificate before you do that... or is that Ric?

Upside - less hassle for you and anyone involved in set-up/strip down. Downside - how will it sound, will it be shagged... who gets the blame if it goes pop or there are problems the next day.

Who in their right mind would buy it for £4 never mind £40!

Do a quick search on BC for 'boundary reinforcement'.

I have my own Mackie 300w 1x10 powered speaker/monitor and they are great but lack on-board EQ (make that a consideration) but I've seen them for £150-170 used. However I also regularly utilise a pair of Wharfedale Titan powered 12s for my acoustic band and they trump the Mackie as they have EQ (basic but better than nothing), I'd have thought that they could be found used for a small budget.
