Sadowsky RV4 Jazz on ebay 2hrs left no bids, £1000
warwickhunt replied to Quatschmacher's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1317029167' post='1385519'] That's a bit below the belt mate. I thought this forum was commenting on items for sale not sellers. [/quote] Fair game in the ebay section! As much as anything it opens the eyes of the unwary and can highlight issues than some novices may not have considered or patterns of dodgy previous sales that appear regularly on ebay. -
Warwick experts.... tell me a bit about this one.

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1317026396' post='1385482'] What's the pickup config / colour of the streamer? [/quote] 'Red' is... red and has the MEC PJ config The Ltd Ed is natural (birds eye maple) and has Bartolini Soap Bars [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1317027555' post='1385496'] stick em up at the price you'ld get on ebay. if people want them great. otherwise ebay they go. daft putting them up for less, it just deflates all the prices including the ones on ebay in the long term. You have very nice warwicks from good eras. [/quote] I had typed up (and subsequently deleted) lots of pros and cons for BC v ebay but I suppose ultimately I should just pick a price and then fcuk those people who will unfortunately point out that someone heard of someone buying one for £400... ooops that happened on this thread; you get the point! -

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1316991098' post='1385319'] the red one and..... ? or a different two? [/quote] 'Red' and a Ltd Ed Streamer [quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1317021166' post='1385430'] Warwick hunt.... I had a quick look but I can't find your for sale threads! [/quote] Nothing put up yet as I want to have some decent pics and I'm undecided as to whether to just put them on ebay... I've advertised Warwick basses on here in the past and unfortunately there is more love for Warwick in the wider world (i.e. I sold 2 Warwicks a couple of months ago and got £500 MORE on ebay than I had them advertised on here!). -

Maybe you need a bit more weight on the body or lighter tuners... or a NT! Just so happens I'm selling two so start saving your pennies. -
Will my amp still work when I tune down...
warwickhunt replied to StevieD_FenderP2009's topic in Repairs and Technical
It's as much about the harmonics of the note as the fundamental. The biggest problem you may have is that poor speaker cabs might not do it justice and may well just flap, added to which your amp will need to work harder to drive out those low notes which will eat up your amp power! -

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1316985650' post='1385261'] It's just under 9lbs. [/quote] Odd that it neck dives, it isn't something I've ever had happen on any of my NT Streamers (and I've had more than a few)! I've presently got Streamer neck-thru basses that are over and under the 9lb mark (sub 8lb, 9lb 2oz,10lb) and none of these dive. -

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1316983621' post='1385230'] Thanks for the suggestion Doctor J. I already use a very wide Comfort strap. Unfortunately, my shoulder is very sensitive to small changes in weight, and as the set I play is so long, I really noticed the way the bass was weighted in a negative way. If I was just playing for an hour a night it wouldn't bother me. After 2 hours however, I'd know all about it! [/quote] What does the bass actually weigh? -

[quote name='seb' timestamp='1316788684' post='1382962'] Ok if rulez are rulez i ll say 2000 pounds for both of them, and im still open for any kind of trades! Pictures soon [/quote] Are they only available as a pair? If singly how do you see the price split between the Streamer and the Corvette? Cheers.

GOLD PAISLEY FENDER PRECISION/TELE BASS
warwickhunt replied to H the Bass's topic in Basses For Sale
Not a problem. I've asked the questions that I've asked because I am after a Paisley P bass and though I'm not about to openly discuss my views on the value of your bass (regardless of what Mods might think, I've reviewed my posts and can't see any direct attack on your price; simply a comment that £1000 was more than I wanted to pay for a CIJ bass... and I even included an emoticon), I wanted to be sure of what was being offered. Unfortunately, items for sale on a forum like this means that folks like me in Northumberland are often as far away from stuff for sale as it is possible to get and questions posted on a sale thread are the only ways to get answers. I even clearly indicated in my earlier post that if there were 'proof' that SH had owned the bass then I'd likely have taken a chance and made an offer on the bass! His connection would mean that if I didn't like the bass then provenance of SH owning the bass might mean that I wouldn't take a whack if I came to sell it. Conversely, me trying to sell a CIJ P bass that I only had second hand anecdotal evidence had previously possibly belonged to SH... well you get the picture. Shame the bass wasn't close enough for me to try as the questions and doubts could have been settled in the flesh! -

[quote name='H the Bass' timestamp='1316707227' post='1381783'] how many times can you answer this guy cloth ears or what i have tried to be as honest as possible and if i dont know the answer thats what ive said does he badger everyone like this? as a guy who is going through the hardest time of his life ie marriage break up after 37 years i dont need this. [/quote] My sympathies re. your marriage break up. In answer to your question, I don't badger anyone! However, I do like to ask lots of questions about instruments that I'm interested in buying and vague answers about 'might have' owners and strange out of place logos, certainly have me asking for definitive answers. Oh and don't get personal with your comments. -

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1316702033' post='1381696'] Any issues with the value of the instrument should be discussed via PM, or, if its just thinking out loud, not at all. Please don't hamper the sellers chance of getting a sale on what is frankly a VERY nice, and not particularly common instrument. You've made a number of comments that are not positive towards the bass, but more importantly earlier on in the thread stated it wasn't for you. I'd suggest therefore that this is left to be a sales thread. Cheers Shep [/quote] I would disagree with your view on my comments re. the bass Shep. I am and have since the start of the thread asked questions to ascertain what exactly this bass is, due to the fact that i am looking for a Paisley bass (search the forum and you'll find I've made several requests for such a bass). I have some knowledge of bass guitars and this model in particular and I have quite frankly never seen a CIJ bass with a 'Custom Shop' logo on the back of the headstock. Surely I have the right to query the seller to ascertain the 'facts' or the authenticity of the bass! If these cannot be answered satisfactorally, you have construed them as not being positive toward the bass...that is hardly my fault. -

[quote name='Mog' timestamp='1316693543' post='1381512'] Ah adverts, where Squiers actually increase in price! If hes a mate push for mates rates. In the last 3 months I picked up a Streamer S1 for 480E, a Streamer Std for 400E and a Rebop 4 Zebrano for 400E. Personally I wouldnt stir above 5 tonne with this. [/quote] Are you saying that you've found and bought a NT Streamer Stage I for 480 Euro (about £430)? -

[quote name='H the Bass' timestamp='1316686469' post='1381329'] ha ha nice one i bought it like it is the paisley one so idont know wether things were added or not? as i bought it off Steves gutar tech i wouldn't have thought so but i cant say however it is a fantastic bass and if someone wants it they better be quick cos ive only gigged it at my daughters birthday party who is now going apeshit that i am selling it lol [/quote] I'll be honest and I'm after a Paisley bass but I don't actually want to pay the premium for a 'star' bass, I'd be happier if it was a straight-forward CIJ bass owned by Joe Bloggs. If there was concrete evidence that it was owned by SH then I might have had a punt and the provenance might have future proofed its value and NKR Vintage aren't my idea of 'proof' (not wishing to disparage your contact but NKR haven't got a great track record if you search threads on BC). Likewise the 'CS' matter; the USA 'CS' tatoo on the back of the headstock and the engraved plate are incongrous with the CIJ tatoo on the heel of the neck and something I've neither seen nor heard of in my life... not to say that I haven't seen plenty of CS logos on non-CS basses! If you have a Paisley bass owned by Joe Bloggs I'll be interested. -
I used to have far too many basses as a 'player' but I also considered myself a bit of a collector (so I could never have enough). Sold loads off a few years back and even now, though I have only 6 basses, I've got too many. I will be selling off 3 basses so that I'm down to my regular gigging bass, a back-up and a rare Ltd Ed which I can't bear to part with!

[quote name='seb' timestamp='1316638616' post='1380905'] So...this is hard to do...but i need to do it. im selling my 88 4 stringed streamer stage I bass and my corvette standard which is handmade in germany, im looking as well for trades (warwicks, especially ss II or anything else, just make me an offer) i ll upload pictures tomorrow, it s hard for me to do this but im a student and to tell you the truth i dont have enough place and money and as well im not sure what i want (i had warwicks for 5 years now) im opened even to trades for amps. sorry but i cant tell you a real price yet [/quote] If you are 'selling' as has been said you need a price. However, if it is only trades then I'd remove the sale option for now and just put up what you are interested in... though some people may still want a ball-park figure of the value to help them decide on a trade price!
