    It's a 5th Anniversary (1987) Streamer bass which was bought from a rep, for a former Warwick distributor who bought it from the company due to it being owned by John Paul Jones (presented back when it was made). 'Very' limited ( ) and the very first Ltd Ed by Warwick (even Warwick don't have one in their collection) and unfortunately I have a guy who works for Warwick who has been promised first refusal on this bass if I ever sell! You to can one day have a collection like mine... especially the way that you are going!

    [quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1342118318' post='1730008'] When you say EMG, do you mean the EMG designed/Spector branded ones, or pucker EMGs? [/quote] They are pukka, period correct, EMGs

    Value/Price doesn't come into it for me, I gig what I own. My basses range in value from £200 - £5000 and I don't consider the value when I'm doing a gig, as they are instruments to be played and enjoyed.

    This is the bass that I traded not too long back... surprised to see that it is likely to be changing hands for a second time since then!

    [quote name='pst62' timestamp='1342013243' post='1728047'] I'm surprised no one's mentioned these Washburn/board B-20 monstrosities with their hideous triangular necks. Very horrible indeed! [attachment=112852:cat_1980washburn_page09.jpg] [/quote] Doh! I think they are cool! [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1342020574' post='1728243'] warwicks are still unfashionable right? [/quote] Yes... and they will stay thus until such time as I have bought back all of the Warwick basses that I foolishly sold (and maybe one or two I haven't owned yet); THEN they will regain the reputation they justly deserve!

    Bump for the Miller (light) @ £725

    [quote name='GazzBass' timestamp='1341951926' post='1727021'] Hi Dude, Apart from hard cash, would your desire for another 4 stringer possibly stretch to something other than the same again - the B string Just asking???? [/quote] Hmmm. I'm being a bit dim tonight; have you got a 4 string Cruise to trade? I would consider other trades but it'd have to be something interesting.

    I keep a KORG Pandora in my gigbag so that worst case scenario I can use that as a preamp and then go into the PA/Foldback. Carting around even a cheap spare amp (regardless of weight) seems excessive for the very unlikely event that your main amp goes belly up... do those who use a single cab carry a spare cab or at minimum replacement driver?

    Eventually tempted Col to buy a bass from me! Straightforward bank transfer payment and he booked a courier, stress free, the way that it should be on BC. Now... about that parker Fly!

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1341859291' post='1725304'] good point... but it is an awesome class D that might be the... er end of lunch? and clarky is miles and miles away down south. Will be going no where near him! (hi clarky!) [/quote] Not wishing to derail Clarky's thread but I will confess that the Tecamp 'Blackcat' class D amp that I had was probably the best class D amp but even that didn't stack up against the TF.

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1341857546' post='1725264'] I am not warwickhunt, although people have often said it of me [/quote] Oy! That's my line. Would the EA amps fit the bill then? They seem to come up now and again and the prices are way low for a used one.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1341856531' post='1725237'] If I was coming down to newcastle in the next few weeks I would lend you my Puma1000 while I move house, but I'm not going anywhere near. Thunderfunk is pretty lightweight isn't it? [/quote] It isn't my thread Luke, I'm not the one wanting an amp! I'd not give up the Thunderfunk for anything... regardless of weight.
  14. warwickhunt
    Does the Hartke LH1000 fit the bill? I have to confess that I'm still out to lunch on class D amps for bass but everyone has different needs and wants so the GK may well do the job.

    [quote name='bigthumb' timestamp='1341782472' post='1724177'] I'd be a little worried about being asked though... [/quote] What's to be 'worried' about? What could a potential buyer do with the info? The alternative (as above) is to refuse and that could indicate something to hide.

    [quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1341778243' post='1724083'] Assuming you know your bass and the serial number doesn't turn up anything random like it's been previously stolen at some time or that it's a different year than you think, then I'd see it as follows: 1) Provide serial number to buyer. Risk: buyer uses it to clone your bass and this causes confusion in the future. Probability: Low. 2) Refuse to provide serial number to buyer. Risk: you lose the sale. Probability: High. Personally - I'd just give the buyer the serial number if he sounds like he's genuine and interested. [/quote] Agreed. It's likely to be more of an issue with vintage basses of high value that 'could' be cloned and where the serial number could validate the instrument and authenticate it.

    Where'd the pics go... they were there a minute ago!
  18. warwickhunt
    Didn't see that coming Chris! I'd have this back but the only 5 string I have is the Hamer and the cash I have set aside is for a fretless... hmmm!

    [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1341764247' post='1723739'] It would be about 25% - it's VAT at 20% & the import duty (which is around 3-5%). This is added to the combined cost of the item & the shipping cost. The other things to bear in mind, especially with electrical items, is that you'll need some kind of transformer to use it in this country (unless it has user switchable voltages) & also if it's made for the US market then the warranty will probably not be valid in this country, and even if it is shipping the amp back to the US for any repairs will be pretty expensive. If it was me buying this & I was only saving £50 I'd just buy one over here & save myself all the potential hassle. [/quote] +1

    [quote name='alg8598' timestamp='1341166086' post='1714594'] Hi, Did you sell your buzz finally ? I am looking for one. Regards Arnaud [/quote] I think the original first post says 'no overseas' Arnaud!

    Recently bought this from a fellow BCer but despite my best efforts I am not, nor ever will be, a 5 string player! Original thread. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/134276-fsft-hamer-cruise-5-2-tek-model-sold-pending/page__hl__hamer"]http://basschat.co.u...page__hl__hamer[/url] £350 +postage (no case but will pack very well or could possibly sell a case for it to go in). The 2-Tek bridge certainly helps the sustain but luckily this is the Mk II bridge and as such the bass is lighter than were it the Mk I (9lb 12oz). The neck is nice and shallow and the action is pretty low and light. All round a really nice bass, just a shame it isn't a 4 string... coincidentally I would swap for the 4 string version! No major dings, dinks or worming, with a light bit of player wear to the back of the neck behind the first position/3rd fret.

    [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000][left]I'm the original owner (bought from Sound Control Newcastle, 5 or so years ago... might be more[/left][/color][color=#000000][left]). Excellent nick, there are some light plec marks on the front but you need to tilt it to see them but it has never been out of the house. Complete with the original heavy duty gig bag and has all of the original hang tags etc. (shoulder straps are still in the pocket and never fitted). [/left][/color] [color=#000000][left]I can do pics but there's not a lot to see that you couldn't find on Google.[/left][/color][/font][/size] [left]£250 +postage[/left]

    Still got a couple of these left (only available as I have gone back to a heavier gauge).
