    Fender... great big horrible flat planks of wood! That's all.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1373401' date='Sep 14 2011, 04:46 PM']Hmmm... It looks really like a modded MIA that Warwickhunt used to own (and Bottomendian before that, I think)... I really like the newer P's and J's. They look solid.[/quote] It does 'look' like my old one but it isn't as that resides with my keyboard player. Oh and Bottomendian did own it... but I had it before and after him! Oddly enough I advertised that bass on here and I got virtually no interest (I sold it for a LOT less than The Gallery bass) despite the pup installation being done at The Gallery and the bass having Nordstrands in it. If the bass had been a 1/2-1lb lighter I'd have most certainly kept it. Oh and well remembered about the pickguard cut-away Clarky.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='1367639' date='Sep 9 2011, 01:56 PM']If he doesn't turn up PM warwickhunt....[/quote] It was indeed mid 90's when Warwick changed factory location BUT Warwick necks have been subtly different across the ranges and over the years any way! For instance; there's no guarantee that an 89 will be any slimmer than a 91, though I tried a 93 (pre factory move) that was chunkier than my 90. However, saying all of that, the very earliest basses were categorically slimmer (82-86/87 though post 86/87 pre 95/96 basses are not generally big necks) BUT I'm not so sure that the 5 strings were as different in profile as the 4's! I'd certainly say try before you buy if you are thinking of trading and adding cash.

    Hmmm. They may well be nice basses but that's a damn silly way to sell them! The chances of somebody actually wanting a pair of Ray's is limited but to compound it they are Ltd Ed and he is asking top whack hence the outlay is a fair old wedge.

    [quote name='throwoff' post='1365189' date='Sep 7 2011, 12:49 PM']10 points for whoever can answer the following question. Why is it called an FNA ?[/quote] [u]Allegedly[/u] it stood for 'Formerly (K)Nown As' (that crazy German humour)... it was originally called the 'Altus'!

    Just out of interest which amp is it?

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1363037' date='Sep 5 2011, 04:21 PM']Did this go?[/quote] Sorry Wayne, I'm in the process of organising someone to collect but I'll PM you if it all goes Pete Tong!

    [quote name='Sagawa' post='1361703' date='Sep 4 2011, 12:43 PM']It is indeed a lefty neck, but has had fret-markers added & the nut turned round (natch.) :-)[/quote] Is it an aftermarket neck and/or was it done at the factory (so to speak)?

    [quote name='karlfer' post='1360461' date='Sep 2 2011, 09:45 PM']It finished with no bids. Am I missing something?[/quote] It's potentially a 'bitsa' bass in a nasty colour... I'd not chance £700 just as you didn't.
  10. warwickhunt
    Not seen one of these before and I'd be interested to see what the reverse neck looks like (assuming it is a reverse headstock with tuners on bottom as per a leftie neck on a rightie body).

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1358944' date='Sep 1 2011, 04:23 PM']If you do get it can I have first dibs?[/quote] You know me so well!

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1358918' date='Sep 1 2011, 03:58 PM']I didn't read WH's previous post, has he already taken it?[/quote] Still waiting to hear back!

    [quote name='Davewick' post='1358734' date='Sep 1 2011, 01:15 PM']Streamer pre90 fretless[/quote] Why not a fretted Streamer that you can take the frets out (ebony board)?
  14. warwickhunt
    I've done a few favours over the years for other BC folk... is there anyone in Devon owes me a favour back? I'll take it and have the bass collected from whoever owes me the favour (you can even have a play on it for a day )!

    [quote name='karlfer' post='1358360' date='Sep 1 2011, 05:42 AM']Yup, really want, and have the money[/quote] +1 [quote name='GreeneKing' post='1358374' date='Sep 1 2011, 07:43 AM']I'm pretty sure that I owned this bass quite a while. Honestly one of the few I really miss.[/quote] +1
  17. warwickhunt
    Anything much over 9lb but there is an allowance for quality of balance (though a 10lb bass is 'too' heavy regardless of balance or strap material/width).

    [quote name='Blademan_98' post='1357852' date='Aug 31 2011, 06:45 PM']I just showed this to my misses. I only have 2 on the wall but she approves of the look so I will be putting the other three up tomorrow! Cheers for posting![/quote] Result! Spend some time to work out your spacings and your home and dry with swmbo.

    [quote name='Count Bassie' post='1357725' date='Aug 31 2011, 04:53 PM']Maybe I can clear up what I meant also- I didn't think I was looking at reflections anymore, after you explained it to me.[/quote] I know exactly what you man about looking chrome!

    [quote name='cd_david' post='1357605' date='Aug 31 2011, 02:58 PM']I love the Warwick next to the corvette? [u]Have you been selling some John[/u]?[/quote] The one next to the Corvette (Infinette) is a 5th Anniversary Streamer (made in 84 to celebrate the anniversary in 87 ) and by all accounts owned when new by JPJ but I've only a handwritten letter by the distributor back in the 80's to verify that, so still looking for images or other validation. As for selling... ever so slightly Dave! A bit scary when I've just looked through pics on my hard drive (so just the last 3 years) but it amounts to... Zon (x2), PRS, Fender (x3), Musicman (x2), NS WAV, Yamaha, Spector (x2), Bolin, Squier & Warwick... x14

    Do basses 'above' the settee count?

    [quote name='PussHound' post='1357385' date='Aug 31 2011, 12:13 PM']Hi people, I'm really reluctantly selling my tobacco burst star bass. It was a very special gift but I really have no choice but to sell it. I have pictures I can send over by email if needed. If you want it, buy it before I change my mind again. I'm after £2100 with Warwick flight case. I'm in Colchester in Essex and will not post out. Thankyou for looking. James[/quote] I'd be interested in a few more details and pics.

    [quote name='Davewick' post='1357027' date='Aug 30 2011, 11:36 PM']Sorry, "jacked" is?[/quote] jacked = increased However, it's not strictly appropriate to comment on a seller's price!

    [quote name='dc2009' post='1356964' date='Aug 30 2011, 10:35 PM']Am I going mad or did the price just go down by like 25%?[/quote] Dunno bout that but lots of errors have been corrected!
