[quote name='wildus' post='226073' date='Jun 24 2008, 05:52 PM']Hi my warwick 1x15 400 wat cab needs a new speaker what would be the best replacement Please can anyone help,got a gig on fri Cheers Wildus[/quote] Have you tried the Warwick distributor to see if they can supply? Failing that to get the same tone as you had then you'd need to know the exact specs of the speaker that is original. You could just lob a 15" in there and hope for the best. TBH with front loaded 'standard' 1x15 cabs I doubt that you'd notice a huge difference, so long as you put in a decent rated driver. If you know someone with a spare driver try fitting it to see.

Help needed.. I found a bass in a part ex shop....
warwickhunt replied to funkyjimbob's topic in Bass Guitars
There are various Fortress models and TBH £400 isn't a give-away price, there are some new models of Fortress that are about £400 new. A good few years back I had the rarer first edition model that had the 2-tek bridge and lipstick pups and I don't think I got much more than £400 when Warwick were retaining their value better than they are now. It wouldn't be an 80's model BTW, they weren't introduced till the 90's. The date stamp will be on the back of the headstock; the last two digits denote the year of manufacture. If it is a bit rough and needs anything spending on it (even time) then I'd steer clear there wouldn't be a lot to be made at that price. Check eBay to see what they are going for. -
[quote name='simondee' post='226573' date='Jun 25 2008, 11:34 AM']Do you reckon £325 is about right?[/quote] The way to think of it is, what is a 900watt amp with all of the features that you need worth... is that about £325?

How about this... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Warwick-Pro-Tube-XI-Bass-Amp_W0QQitemZ220249626073QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220249626073&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A10&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Warwick-Pro-Tube-XI-...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url]

[quote name='simondee' post='225656' date='Jun 24 2008, 09:44 AM']About ten years ago I used to absolutely lust after one of these and there's a couple floating about second hand. Just wondering what the current value of these old beasts is? Anyone know?[/quote] I sold a 'W' Protube IX last year for about £400 - £450 IIRC. I reckon the SWR would be worth a bit more!

Isn't the SA200 basically the same as the Koch KA400 (I think that is the model)! Mind I doubt you'd find one of those in the UK either, though I very nearly bought one off eBay from Holland recently

I have to agree Tortie on black is the way to go -

I'd be inclined to agree that the cabs don't appear to be TE cabs. I've owned TE in the past and they don't look like the style of any that I've seen, @ £100 the head appears a bit of a better deal. If you are buying the cabs just as a pair of 2x10 cabs then fair enough but @ £100 a piece I'd be wanting to try out those cabs in a real life setting before parting with folding stuff for them

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='225281' date='Jun 23 2008, 07:25 PM']That is absolutely delicious and high on my desire list too, perfectly so. I don't suppose you fancy a Jazz Deluxe in p/ex? Peter[/quote] Thanks for the offer Peter but I've been there recently and the Jazz deluxe wasn't for me Just buy this now and sells yours later

[quote name='Chop' post='225171' date='Jun 23 2008, 04:52 PM']Many moons ago I played in a wonderful band ruined by the lead guiarist (and 50% songwriter) saying [size=4][b]"were not ready, were not ready..."[/b][/size] of course, if I'd realised that 90 minutes of our own material was more than enough... Like everyone else says, if you have 30-45 minutes of material just get on with it, nothing will improve you faster ![/quote] Was he from Birmingham then? Please... somebody get my humour

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='225027' date='Jun 23 2008, 02:04 PM']I love Spectors (having owned two) and even some Warwicks - there was a nice neck through Thumb on here recently that had me nursing a semi for days. [/quote] I thought you had an aversion to 'W'... or am I confusing you with another BW/BT/BC member

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='224860' date='Jun 23 2008, 11:28 AM']Lovely jubbly - I would go so far as to say if I sell my Duck Dunn, I'll buy this off you.[/quote] Hang on Alan, isn't this Spector just a pretty Warwick Streamer... are you gradually conquering your hatred of all things 'W' It is a cracking looking bass. I'd love to A/B it against the similar spec'd Warwick Streamer!

You can rehearse till the moo moos come home but to be honest nothing tightens up a band like a gig (or even the impending deadline of a gig). I was involved with a band for a while that wouldn't gig until everything was perfect... unfortunately they had me playing bass so that wasn't going to happen In all seriousness though, they wanted everything perfect however we live in an imperfect world and there will always be a reason why one person or another isn't happy with either their part, a song/structure/timbre. You'd never get anything done! I say go for it now; ready or not

[quote name='Jonny Walker' post='223670' date='Jun 21 2008, 04:29 PM']What the hell does 'Nitro' look like?[/quote] [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='223671' date='Jun 21 2008, 04:33 PM']Thank god someone said it.[/quote] Short answer... It usually isn't as shiny and thick as other lacquer finishes, it can almost have a matt look.

[quote name='Musky' post='224635' date='Jun 23 2008, 12:06 AM']I read somewhere or other about a repair involving the material from a pair of tights and something like nail polish. Or maybe superglue. Never had to try it myself though.[/quote] Sooner buy a new one than be caught dressed up like that again

I've just taken the aforementioned bass in part-ex against my Glock from a fellow BCer (cheers Stuart); the trade was done on the understanding that a bloke from The Toon was itching to buy the Thumb straight from me (he'd seen pics etc). Anyways... I picked up the Thumb this evening and in the interim he's gone and bought a Wal. Apparently he's been trying to contact me all day but as I've been out and about and then went straight up to the borders to exchange the bass/amp, I didn't hear from him. Hence I now find myself the proud owner of a very nice (but totally unwanted) 4 string Warwick Thumb It really is a credit to Stuart (who has owned it for the last 15 years or so) and other than a few 'very minor' marks it could easily pass for a 1-2 year old bass. It is one of the earlier models with MEC pups and the fingerboard dot inlays. I'll get some pics up tomorrow evening (I'm fecked at the minute; been out all day on the bike and then had to dash up to Scotland before getting back to see friends off from Germany). I wouldn't be adverse to trades for a Streamer bass (the older the better and nothing later than 91) or something else of interest (probably not an amp BUT you never know... it would have to be a bit esoteric so no TE / Ampeg / Ashdown type thing). WHY? Cheers
