This very swiftly got my attention, especially as I spotted it was a NT and [u]NOT[/u] an LX... then it dawned on me! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SALE-Warwick-streamer-LX-5-string-complete-GOLD-hardware-original-/151380441605?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item233efa3a05[/size]

I'm sure you'll have sussed from the other posters but at the volumes you are discussing, reproducing a low B is no big deal for a reasonable quality combo and tbh the speaker size is of relatively little import though you may find that of the 'budget' manufacturers that yes maybe slightly larger is better than a dinky 8" BUT it isn't a given that 15" (shyte) speaker will be better than 10" (average) speaker. £200 'used' will get you something with a bit of headroom which you may find yourself in need of sooner than you think and they all come with the special feature of a VOLUME control which goes down as well as up... not that guitarists realise this!

Oddly enough it is withdrawn and not the usual pulled by ebay (which you can't access and they disappear completely). It looks like the account holder that was hacked is back on the game and spotted it. It'll be back up again soon though.

Washburn AB series are good and in your budget used. I've owned the more expensive AB40 but actually prefer the AB20 that I have now.

...you report this it reappears BUT reporting it as fraud doesn't now get it pulled. I've reported this actual listing 3 times in the last week as has a friend, we've reported it as fraudulent but nothing has happened. However, I've just reported it for avoiding ebay fees; let's see how quickly they pull it now.

I had the Akai Headrush which was limited (slightly) by the limited loop time and though it wasn't complicated to use the replacement Ditto that I got is more my thing. Mine is intended as a live tool with an 'unplugged' acoustic band, with me looping some percussion played on the acoustic bass, with everyone playing at a consistent volume it is great... but if band members can't monitor/hear it then there is potential for time slippage. The other use is a practice tool; lay down a line then improvise over it OR as a creative tool for generating new ideas.

Well I can sell you a SSI and a Sterling! LOL

There's a Spector Euro (PJ) for sale on this very forum for £600 (or less if you collect)... in your budget and well worth a punt as you'd be able to resell for as much/more than it is at present (couple little fixes and it is worth £700).

You're on to a loser in respect of a simple answer re neck sizes mate; Warwick necks vary all over the place from year/era and model. Generally... the earliest basses (80's) had the slimmest necks but one thing to note is that the main variation isn't in width it is in depth and profile. Best thing to do is go out and try a few. Unsure where in the UK you are but I have a few you can try (NE).

Nope, nothing 'off the shelf' that I am aware of, which would be short scale.

Folks have mentioned Warwick Streamer LXs but you could find a pukka used SSI for under £1k, which is frankly a steal.

At a glance they don't look like bad prices but unsure as to where the country of origin will be (unless I missed it on his site).

[quote name='binky_bass' timestamp='1406069512' post='2508149'] There is no moral obligation and I haven't broken any ebay rules, I sent a 'cancel sale' request via ebay (why would they give you this option if it was against their rules??) And it was accepted, I spoke to fiatcoupe (as per texts shown on my previous post) and he was fine with it. So I repeat, what is the problem??? I acted in line with ebay rules, I have been totally honest, the buyer accepted, we talked and were friendly, so please tell me what the deal is here?? Honestly, how have I broken rules? Everything has been done in line with rules and regulations. And more to the point the conversations I have shown on here between me and fiat have been friendly and amicable. So once more, what have I done wrong? The only person here who seems to actually understand these points is Ambient, and he left his posts before I even knew this thread existed!!! So please, tell me how I have broken rules or acted morally wrong when I have actes by the book written by ebay. If the seller agrees to a cancellation then that's the end of that surely? No broke rules or morality. [/quote] Wow, you really believe that don't you! If that is the case, I'll leave it there. [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1406069153' post='2508145'] My question at this point is, can anyone add anything helpful or different to this thread? [/quote] Ah... best not apply that logic to all posts on this forum! [size=4] [/size]

'IF' the OP was so happy (as you allude) to cancel the deal, why did he start this thread? [size=4]Did you or did you not renege on a deal because you didn't get what you wanted? [/size] Not trying to make any enemies (little care if I do as I am simply commenting on a situation and giving my views... which is what you do on forums), you are however correct that there isn't anything further that you can add to explain this... facts are evident; as to putting it right, fulfil your moral obligation to sell the bass at the agreed (ebay) value.

[quote name='binky_bass' timestamp='1406067037' post='2508103'] However the input of fiatcoupe would be very welcome right now to confirm what I have said. [/quote] ...and that will make what you did OK/go away? It's not life/death but that doesn't make it OK to dump on a deal, which is a matter of fact, whether the OP agrees or not. I'd not have just thrown my hands up and said 'OK we'll cancel the deal because you wanted to save on ebay fees and didn't put a reserve', in fact part of my feeling regarding this is because I've had it done to me on numerous occasions on ebay and it stinks! Last occasion was a few months and I told the seller to stick it and refused his online request to cancel the sale. Though this is just my view of the matter of general ebay matters and not directed at any person who may or may not be discussed in this thread.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1406066398' post='2508098'] The thread will remain open if this[i] does[/i] become a discussion about the merits of a eBay seller not following through, and [i]not [/i]a continued discussion about one particular incident that has since been resolved to the apparent satisfaction of both parties [/quote] Nope, I've just double checked and as of 'this moment in time' the OP has not stated that it is resolved to the satisfaction of both parties! However, I have a feeling the thread will be locked because your statement doesn't quite pan out Kev. How can anyone discuss the merits of an ebay seller not following through with a sale WHILST not discussing this incident, it's all about this incident! [size=4] [/size]
