    Damn you wait... 10 years and along comes another one! Soooo glad that it isn't the 4 string version! I'm not just saying it because I have one but the range of tones out of these basses is excellent and I'd imagine that this'll be like mine and be light as a feather so anyone after a 5 string that isn't going to do their spine/back any grief should give this a coat of looking at!

    Both basses now SOLD! The natural bass is the one that I kept back out of the two; it has DiMarzio Ultra pups and an Aguilar OB2 preamp. It is in excellent condition, no dings, dinks or worming, with a tiny 5mm lacquer crack in the neck pocket of the natural bass but you'd be hard pushed to see it and may not have, had I not mentioned it... and it is just in the lacquer! The upgrades are all good ones and the cost alone for those is several £100. I've just bought a Sadowsky Jazz so this now has to go... definitely! £725 no case (though I could supply one at a push but it'd cost extra), though it would be very well packed for carriage; see my feedback for confirmation that I'd look after it in transit.

    I saw that and thought it looked cool but the strings look like they are off the edge of the fingerboard!

    Canny tuner.

    Nice one! I've been sorting out various fuse ratings for conversion of USA to UK running (different bit of kit) and I know that the voltage had a direct relationship with the amperes required for the fuse rating so wondered if there was anything in the actual power output figures (you know what sellers are like at quoting the best figures that they can ).
  6. warwickhunt
    Quick question - if, according to the manufacturers spec (in the manual) a power amp (class D switch-mode if it makes a difference) is rated at 700w @ 120v (the only voltage rating that the USA manufacturer quotes), will that mean that it delivers the same power at 240v (I'd have thought the output figure would have lessened) or am I misinterpreting something?

    Now traded and with a happy new owner!

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1337774061' post='1665176'] [i]I keep coming back to this but the only bass I have that fits your weight requirements is my trusty old Status and I'd miss it too much....The PF's a lovely bass tho, surely shouldn't hang around too long.[/i] [/quote] I've had some serious (and not so serious) interest in the bass but I think most people are the same, they would love to 'try' this and if they did I bet a lot of people would be blown away with what it can do but I'm not a big bloke and aesthetically this bass looks big on me... great in the house/studio/blackened stage!

    [quote name='Teobass88' timestamp='1337931432' post='1667482'] ... I'm thinking about the possible structural problems in these early basses. [/quote] What possible structural problems? Is that just an assumption re all 6 string basses or specific to Warwick, as I've never heard of such issues with Warwick basses.

    ESR in Whitley Bay, decent shop for all your electrical odds and ends. £3.12 for the correct fuse... 12p for the fuse but £3 for the petrol to get there and back!
  11. warwickhunt
    I've seen a few amps in my time that had the liner out of fag packets wrapped around a blown fuse!

    [quote name='Warwick_Official' timestamp='1338027077' post='1668761'] Glad to hear you got it worked out. Please let me know if you have any other questions, or need clarification. Enjoy your Hellborg preamp! [/quote] Thanks Garey (replies over on the Warwick site also ). The preamp is fired up and working great. I was one of those who trialled it a couple of years ago so I'm familiar with it... now if you could do something about the import taxes that I paid for getting my winning a prize imported from The States, that'd be the ultimate!

    [quote name='BRANCINI' timestamp='1338023171' post='1668686'] Theyre maximum ratings. Dont remember ever seeing a fuse marked anything other than 250V. Main thing is to limit the maximum current. [/quote] As I say figures quoted are either straight out of the manual and the fuses supplied were with the preamp which had been used in The States. As it happens our local electronics supplier is open on a Saturday so I jumped in the car and 45 mins later I have the correct fuse... off to power it up! As a side note it's sad that not so long back there'd have been plenty of towns that had somewhere to buy such a fuse yet I had to go to a 'specialist'!

    I've just taken delivery of a Warwick Hellborg Preamp. It was delivered from the States and set to 115v with a pair of fuses that are rated at T1AL 250v. I've reset the rear switch to 240v, however the preamp manual shows that the fuses should be T500mAL for 230V and T1AL for 115V. This has me confused as the fuses are defo stamped 250v yet should they not be 115v? I'm going to contact Warwick to see what the craic is and in the meantime try and find fuses of the correct rating but do I actually already own the correct fuse? The full story of the preamp acquisition is to follow. Cheers

    I'm looking for a lightweight 1U amp to pair with a bass preamp but the only specs that I can find online seem to show that this is 150w into 4 ohms and it doesn't specify if it is peak/RMS or whatever. Do you have a manual or website to get more accurate details?

    Mick's the king of Aguilar gear... collected a cab from him tuther day and he's a true gent!
  17. warwickhunt
    Did Dood get this then?
  18. warwickhunt
    So long as I don't have to agree to have the dreaded FB 'timeline'!

    If you want to trade the Zon back to me for a USA Spector NS2 or a USA Parker Fly, just give me a shout.
  20. warwickhunt
    Does the Streamer come free? In all seriousness I had one of these and I'm scratching my head to remember why I sold it!
  21. warwickhunt
    I'd be bricking it that it wasn't pukka!
  22. warwickhunt
    I trialled a Hellborg preamp a couple of years ago and it was a fantastic piece of kit... in fact I've got it returning back to me very soon (for keeps). Don't expect full blown OD or grunge/60's creaminess and you'll not be disappointed; what it does it does bloody well and is justified at being up their with some of the other revered preamps.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1337624531' post='1663040'] First in the diary gets the booking. [/quote] THE number 1 rule and not to be bent or broken on any account (inc' regardless of fee offered) otherwise it's a slippery slope to nastiness and confusion.
  24. warwickhunt
    Bump.

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1337445355' post='1660187'] Despite other comments remarking that the price is hard to find in the description, I still can't find it??? [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No price as I'm basically looking for trades. You probably know from experience that when you put a realistic cash 'buy me' value on something people then come in with their "my bass cost £[same value as cash price] new so I'll do you a swap".
