  1. [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1391255245' post='2354985'] 1799 I think a while back [/quote] ...and back up to that price! If he couldn't get £1500 I can't see him shifting it by putting the price up. [size=4] [/size]
  2. Blimey that's cheap... I am after more than that for my 60w 1x12 version! [size=4] [/size]
  3. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1391343015' post='2355926'] One of the best Warwicks I've ever seen. Save the animal bump [/quote] I'm actually in the process of putting my MM Sterling fretless up for sale (which I was going to keep as a cheaper alternative to this) and if that goes first I'll likely end up keeping this... I only need one fretless!
  4. [quote name='BigAlonBass' timestamp='1391338118' post='2355838'] I'm glad someone else thinks so, but I wasn't going to be the first to say it! [/quote] [size=4] [/size]
  5. My basses have been suspended by neck hangers mounted on the wall for the last 20+ years and never had a problem!
  6. The sound matches the looks!
  7. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1391286099' post='2355471'] This guy seems very well regarded. Haven't used him myself though... [url="http://www.dwilsonguitars.com/"]http://www.dwilsonguitars.com/[/url] [/quote] I've known and used Dave many times (as have lots in NE/NW), he isn't the cheapest but he is very good!
  8. Certainly wouldn't think that it isn't a genuine cheapy Yamaha (were these about £110 new?) and I've given away better basses to charity... £20-£30 I reckon!
  9. I had to read the description before I realised what the body of the bass represented... and I bought the album when first released! [size=4] [/size]
  10. [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1391043046' post='2352740'] Well that's well and truly told me off. I will sit in the corner facing the wall for one hour now. BC must be a very serious place for some people. [/quote][size=4][quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1391041027' post='2352726'][/size] Which thread are you reading? I've read several positive comments and no commands or diktats. The overwhelming suggestion has been to try one. [/quote] [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1391042349' post='2352735'] You're well within your rights to make a prophesy of doom and gloom, but please don't berate the people who have contributed in a measured and constructive manner in the thread up to this point - I don't think that's fair. [/quote] Agreed! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Added to which the OP started this thread asking for advice and some of which will be from haters/lovers of acoustic basses... in fact he will likely ONLY get advice from those two groups of people, so I'd expect on average for 50% of it to be negative! [/size]
  11. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1391036386' post='2352650'] Dolphins are between the 'frets' I believe, so no Dolphins would be harmed [/quote] Correct. Depending on who does it, a fret job can be done professionally for £120
  12. [quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1391034965' post='2352622'] Waaaaaaaaay too nice..........unfortunate for me It aint Fretted [/quote] ...and fretting it would cost?
  13. [quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1391025447' post='2352458'] Nope, not that one. Its a 97 ss2 (3band eq, still has the old style neck though)........ Lovely piece of kit it is [/quote]
  14. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1390982719' post='2351840'] My band have talked about doing a couple of "unplugged" or acoustic gigs. The guitarists have acoustics and obvioulsy the drums are acoustic. I though it would be cool if I was acoustic too... [/quote] You could be 'electro' acoustic but don't ever imagine that you would be loud enough to keep up with a pair of unamplified acoustics... never mind a drummer (even using brushes/hot-rods)! I play in a 4 piece acoustic group (no drums) using a Washburn AB20 and it has a nice acoustic tone that sits in with the acoustic guitars (we all plug into a very small PA) but there'd not be a cat's chance in Hell of competing if I wasn't amplified; even house rehearsals I need to plug into a practice combo when they are purely acoustic!
  15. [quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1390989811' post='2351935'] Think you should trade this for my ss2 4 string... [/quote] It's a LONG shot but if this were my old 80's SSII (which was light for a SSII) I'd have gotten involved in a trade with Kev!
  16. Tried photographing the side but the camera is useless in the present light but I can confirm the dots are where the frets 'should' be NOT between the frets as they would be on a fretted bass. They are white dots on the edge of the ebony board. If you still want pics, send me a PM and I'll see if I can get it sorted.

[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]I bought this from the original owner and he paid over 6000 Euro back in 2007.

[/color] [color=#000000]No dings, dinks or marks anywhere; essentially buying this is almost the same as ordering direct from Warwick... for 1/3 of the price (or less) of a new one!

  18. Sorry, literally just sold.
  19. I'm going to say Aggie DB112s all day long!
  20. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1389895721' post='2339299'] How much do warwick's make at the moment? This came up on my normal ebay browsing Odd one this... one photo, local pickup only, pretty crappy advert really - might be a good deal there for someone, my wife would kill me if I accidentally won another auction for local pickup! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/warwick-streamer-stage-1-neck-thru-bass-/261376101418?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cdb3acc2a"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3cdb3acc2a[/url] [/quote] It may have been cheap but not cheap enough to get a single bid!
  21. I've info on my old hard drive re. the EQ switches on those SD pups but it isn't connected up. A trawl of t'interweb should get you the info but essentially (IIRC) all 3 alter the EQ frequency response of the pups in various ways.
  22. Brian's a top bloke. Nice easy easy deal with Brian doing a bank transfer as soon as the deal was finalised.
