[quote name='dirtylittleherbert' post='809750' date='Apr 17 2010, 07:22 PM']What are 4x10's usually like for size? I don't mind if theyre heavy but I'm gonna need to fit them in my boot. I drive a VW Passat.[/quote] The old Trace 4x10's are chuffin MASSIVE and you'd struggle to get one into an estate car (well... almost ), whereas some modern 4x10's are literally 'just' big enough to fit the speakers on the front baffle board (22"x22") so you'd need to try before you buy and don't be fooled into getting the basic dimensions because sometimes the laws of physics don't work when you try to fit gear into your car!

Sorry I got the wrong end of the stick with regard to 'preamp'. I thought you meant a rackmount external jobbie. Fitting a preamp isn't a huge job so long as you have comprehensive instructions it can be a relatively straightforward DIY job but if your soldering skills are below par or you've not done anything like it before then tbh £25 isn't a bad price for the job. It's actually probably 30 min job if you know what you are doing but most places would charge you an hours rate which would be about the £25 mark.

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='809649' date='Apr 17 2010, 06:17 PM']Just got myself a new pre amp for my Warwick. I've been quoted £25 from my local music shop to fit it. I have no idea whether this is a good price or a terrible price... Some opinions would be good Not too sure if this is the right section...[/quote] Can you clarify what they are actually going to fit and into what, with what (i.e. power amp etc)! If it's a pre into a rack with a poweramp then I reckon a 'local' regular on here with a bit of nouse could do it for you for nowt... I would if you live my way!

They've gotta be good for something I suppose!

Ooops missed the bit about cost; £100/£150 - £3000+... you pays your money you takes your choice!

If you use the search facility there are loads of past threads on this very subject but imho (dependent upon line-up and type of amp used by other members) 250+w is a good workable size.

[quote name='kevbass' post='809083' date='Apr 17 2010, 12:28 AM']Even after the LED work and having it chromed i bet it still came out much cheaper than a warwick streamer CT, which I imagine is what inspired him to do it[/quote] Absolutely... well maybe! However, the CT Streamer will retain a reasonable amount of its value whereas a Spector Legend with LEDs and an after-market paint job is still just a Spector Legend. Do you see where I'm coming from and I'm not trying to compare Warwick with Spector just the reality check that 'sometimes' what you do to a bass after you buy it can have little impact on its later value.

Hats off to GuitarGuitar; ordered mine yesterday lunchtime and the delivery driver called me today to say he was at my place trying to deliver, did I want these leaving somewhere or with a neighbour etc! Nice touch to see that it comes supplied with a battery.

[quote name='neilb' post='808743' date='Apr 16 2010, 06:21 PM']Yes siree, Twas me!!!![/quote] Nice one Neil. I was in communication with the guy trying to ascertain the weight of the bass but you obviously nipped in before he got that sorted. Just out of interest, when you get it would you mind sussing the weight as I'm trying to get a reference for what these CV P basses weigh.

So did a BCer get it?

I'm not knocking Spector or that bass but the owner must have been off his t*ts when he decided to have that done! Each to his own I know but for what he must have paid to have it chromed and LED'd, the cost of the work on what is essentially a mid-level bass will never get recouped.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='808243' date='Apr 16 2010, 11:47 AM']I'll put it on the scale when i get home and report.[/quote] [quote name='faceman' post='808443' date='Apr 16 2010, 02:22 PM']I've just weighed mine on the bathroom scales it is comes out at 8.8lbs, so it's about that.[/quote] Cheers lads.

Can I ask a favour? Those folks who own one of these CV P basses; what is the weight of your bass? I know that they are going to be somewhere between 8 - 10lb but I wondered what the actual 'average' weight was coming in at. Likely going to have to buy one blind so it gives an indication as to what to expect. Cheers

Good spot. That's a good saving on new so won't last long!

Nah that's either one for the JC boys or it's a custom build as it seems to have elements of a few basses! HOWEVER... thanks for the heads up on the JB Trio as that is new music to me and I enjoyed that. Cheers!
