  1. If you are 'that' desperate to sell I can almost guarantee that I'd give you £50 more than ANY retailer will offer you in part-ex/purchase!
  2. They are 'allegedly' passive with active EQ but if you have a dead battery out you should find they don't work at all hence they are active (needing power for the preamp in them). I don't think MEC had the silver logo models back in 91 so they will defo be the gold as fitted to the top of the range basses at the time. My bass is stock and doesn't have a push/pull pot as the Pro I basses have.
  3. Sweet amp! I've got the 750 version of this otherwise I'd have been all over it.
  4. The raw/unadulterated tone of a Pro I is (subjectively) better than a Pro II; just as you might argue a P bass sounds better than a J but then you can blend pups and add/subtract EQ to the Pro II and get a superb sound which is 'different' to any you could get from the Pro I. I think the reason I kept a Pro II over a Pro I is that the whole bass may have that individual outline but the Pro II hangs slightly closer to the body due to the inset neck and the bass is lighter and balances great (not that the Pro I doesn't balance). IIRC the overall neck dimensions are slimmer on a Pro II, again much like the J v P analogy. The actual tone of the type and location of the pups is so subjective that it is almost the least important factor... I wouldn't say that mind if the actual tone of a Pro II was naff.
  5. I have E-355-91; black, silver hardware... identical to yours! I'd be amazed if you get to the bottom of it because even Warwick can't get facts straight. I've always assumed mine was MIJ (despite the MIG cover) but there is no way of being certain. I've owned a couple of Pro I NT basses and despite this being a fraction of their value I've kept this in preference to those. Swamp Ash body with maple neck and wenge fingerboard is a great combo. The bridge pup solo is a bit 'meh' mind!
  6. You can't! Sadly they didn't commute over; there was a general warning that 'might' happen but the Mods weren't sure what might happen and warned folks to save important messages.
  7. On a positive note, I don't need to worry about trying to trawl back through old PMs... onwards and upwards!
  8. Wish we were closer but daft trying to organise getting these (ours are cloth and tired).
  9. I have the non-SA version of this (P body as opposed to the Tele style) and it is a superb 'light' fretless but you really need to big up the Synth Access side of this bass as it takes its capabilities to a whole new level!
  10. I'm sure I still have a picture disc of Paradise Skies. Great band.
  11. Ouch, they are trying to pass it off as real... fully expected them to say the decal wasn't real as you'd be wrong in the head to believe it was the real deal!
  12. I that is £10 for all 7 patch leads it'd be silly not to take them... so I will.
  13. 8lb is very light for a 90's Streamer. Looks nice mind.
  14. Got to love a 5th Anniversary... yours is in way better nick than mine! When you see the Thumb and Streamer side by side you can see how the placement of the top horn / 14th v 16th fret level, makes the Thumb hang out to the left a bit.
  15. [quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1507552237' post='3386248'] Thank you. I am unsure of the stringers due to the poly finish, no volute, MOP dot inlays, solid brass bridge, Schaller tuners. [/quote] Rather than clutter the OP sale thread, I'll message you... unless you start a thread of your own or add something to the Warwick thread on here.
  16. [quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1507489249' post='3385843'] Oh ok. Thanks for the info. Do you know roughly when these were made? Mine is a 4 string PJ with EMGs [/quote] Streamers were/are made from 83(ish) - 2017. If yours has factory EMG's chances are it is 80's possibly early 90's but EMGs are an option still today. Poly finishes generally obliterate (fill) the serial number but it isn't hard to approximate dates from the NT stringers/volutes/dot inlays/bridge/tuners etc.
  17. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1505376256' post='3371367'] ...sadly Warwick are useless at identifying their own instruments... [/quote] LOL sadly, totally true!
  18. I use a pair of TC RS210 cabs stacked vertically which makes a tall/skinny tower and my Thunderfunk mounted on top horizontally would be unstable (amp/case overhang). As a result I stand it on the edge with both amp and cabs mounted on a Gramma Pad, possibly isolating unwanted vibrations that might transfer through the floor... no evidence that this might shorten life expectancy but belt and braces approach. My amp is fan loaded btw.
  19. Ditto have one, love it and concur that is a cracking price!
  20. Looking at it... I'd let it slide!
  21. It might be worth amending your title to include 'Stage II' designation as it is a lot rarer and costlier bass than the Stage I Streamer (even though it has customer options on it such as the dot inlays).
