    I'd have thought possibly late 90's at the very earliest but a lot more likely 00's. There isn't much to distinguish between years after the late 90's but truss rod covers and nut type is generally a give away... and this has an original JAN, which I'd not have expected at all with that later style truss rod cover. I'd say one or the other has been replaced (possibly both) and I'd put money on the nut being a replacement due to the tendency for the later nuts to snap on the end clips. I do have to love the lack of detail about the bass in the listing text; one line out of ten says anything about the bass and even then it is just to tell you it is a SSI with one or two little dings... not a hard sell as such!

    The serial number is D 1303 not D 130! It is however one of those nice enigmatic 'transition' basses that retains the early sculpted headstock and tuning post grommets but with the later 2 piece bridge.

    You've literally just bought this bass... yes?

    I'll take it.

    Excellent! I've been after either one of these (possibly not the full blown German model) or more likely the SC version, for a while... inspired to look harder now!

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1347033524' post='1796297'] Regarding the comment about the Wal increasing in value, I would disagree, a wal bought in 1986 for £800, now worth £2500, in real terms is still a loss, I mean £800 in 1986 is alot more than £2500 is today. [/quote] How so? After approx 25 years with inflation at about 3% your £800 would be about £1600-£1700... it'd be interesting to calculate what a new Fender Jazz should cost today compared to in 86 (using the 3% inflation) against what say a Warwick cost back then!

    Nice one Dave.

    Excellent amps (and pretty good cabs... especially for the money), that go on forever and 'probably' only let down by their aesthetics; if they were a lush looking piece of kit people probably wouldn't be so disparaging about them.
  12. warwickhunt
    I really don't NEED another amp but I seriously had to sit on my hands during those last few seconds (I had even input a bid price at one point but came to my senses and deleted it)!

    I bought this recently as I have a huge amount of love for Glock amps and I had visions of this replacing my Thunderfunk (inspired by the fact that my last Glock was fabulous but at 300w just didn't 'quite' cut the mustard in a loud band not using PA support); I will stress that this appears significantly louder @ 400w than my old Bass Art amp did @ 300w. However, in A/B comparisons I just can't make that move away from the TF, not that there is a lot in it but the TF just edges it due to the fact that the Glock is just a bit [u]too[/u] sweet and slick! Plenty of info available on-line about these and they are/were stupendously expensive due to the quality of build (and it shows in the tone). It has 2 effects loops, 3 mid EQ as well as bass and treble, seperate active/passive inputs, tuner out (muted from the front). It is passive cooling (no noisy fans) but as such it does get warm so I'd not stick it in a tiny cramped case (the amp is 3U so 4U at a minimum though I do have a 6U case available for sale cheap if required). A few scratches/marks to the case but nothing too bad (pics to follow if needed). I'll also include an XLR to Speakon lead as XLR outputs aren't that common (but far better than 1/4 connections) as output connections, you can make leads up easily enough and I'll supply an extra XLR for someone if they want to knock up a spare lead. £400 but will entertain trades for a Line 6 G50 or early Warwick Streamer bass (80's) which I'll add a wedge of cash to.

    Ouch that ebay price must have hurt!

    [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1346784829' post='1793260'] great dolphin vid, but i thought Money was played at a lower position than that (in B?) - fab tone though, I think I've found the bass to save my pennies for [/quote] It is played in B... and I did!

    Have you tried on the local 'Big Ginger Gits Gig Pit'?

    Not sure where these might go best but they are Warwick related... so here they are! I've been asked a couple of times for reference sounds for Warwick basses and though I don't have a fraction of those that I've owned in the past I thought that I'd stick a couple up (thanks to Luke for reminding me... again ). #1 Warwick Streamer Stage I '5th Anniversary' 1984/1987 Bass (info on the youtube footnotes) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qd9lvcWRsw&feature=youtu.be"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qd9lvcWRsw&feature=youtu.be[/url]

    [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1346613352' post='1791252'] Well be assured that it will be much appreciated [/quote] Between me and you... It's just to keep Luke quiet!

    Ah! Now I've just realised that my first attempt/trial was with my Streamer 5th Anniversary bass and the file is busy uploading from the memory card in the PC rather than from the hard drive (learned a lesson here); hence I'm going to have to wait 30mins for that to finish before I can retrieve the memory card and do the Dolphin and SSI. At least I know that other than the upload time this can be done relatively easily.

    [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1346612754' post='1791242'] well, I'd accept 'mustang sally' at a push - I don't want to push you out of your comfort zone! [/quote] You get what you're given me lad... and it may be in a couple of hours!

    [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1346610296' post='1791193'] oh go on... do you do requests? Maybe a bit of Meters, or (at a push) Santana? [/quote] Do I look like a 'Jukebox'... it's worse than the heckles at a bad pub gig; 'Do something we know!' 'Do you do The Hunter?' I've started trying to do some recording on our little camera but the first 30 second clip that I did is going to take an hour to upload to youtube! Best you spend the next hour or two constructively, go listen to some Meters/Santana... that way you won't be disappointed when I don't do any!

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1346609976' post='1791186'] talking of distinctive tones, wheres that video of a streamer stage one you meantioned doing? I'm thinking it will be back at work on monday and we'll all have to wait till half term! [/quote] LOL Will see what I can do now. I'd record the Dolphin but mine has got OLD flats on and doesn't sound 'typical' Warwick just now!

    I've owned x2 Pro I - 4 strings and I have to say that my '89 4 string fretted bass had a nut width as wide as some 5 string basses. However, it was a flattened profile so not a handful, I'm not sure how wide the nut on a 5er is but I'd certainly have a try of one before you commit to buying. I presently have a Pro I CS fretless and the nut width is NOT as wide as the older one but the profile is also different (more squared off shoulders). The Dolphin looks like it will be large and unwieldy but they aren't, they are very comfy to play and have a very distinct tone.
