[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=5]£40.00[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]Cost £85.00 new from the USA.[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]Fit's the jack on Strat style guitar or Aerodyne bass.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=5]No soldering required, and no need to even look at a wiring scheme. In fact, there is no wiring scheme. Unscrew the standard jack, cut the wires from the jack, insert them into the screw terminal connectors of the booster jack, tighten the screws up and screw the booster jack into its place. Installation takes two minutes.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=5]Free postage[/size][/font]

Warwick Rockbass Streamer NT1 Preamp (SP-RB-120 2 band E.Q by Crystal Sound Co - says the label), 4 pots with chrome knobs, jack and battery holder. Removed from my RB Streamer NT1 as I upgraded to the Warwick German version, though this sounded absolutely fine when fitted but my luthier (Simon Farmer of GUS Guitars) mentioned to me he was just about to order some stuff from Warwick Germany so I thought I might as well add something to his order. If he hadn't have mentioned it I would have happily left well alone. Jack and battery wires have been cut but the pots are all still wired together.

I can't remember which bassist from which metal band said this, but the gist of his playing was to use as many open strings as possible. That way he could stand with one foot on a monitor, left arm in the air pointing at the audience whilst still playing root notes. Has served me well for many years (no good for wgfa though, I'm afraid

Lehle P Split - High Impedance Splitter - Withdrawn.

I know absolutely nothing about building basses but something I've done to pretty much every bass I've had since I owned a couple of 1980's Ibanez RB850's (which had this) is move the strap button from directly behind the bridge to 2 or so inches up. That way the body hangs a bit lower and neck comes up, stopping neck dive. Works for me

Sold Aldofredo a Squier ProTone Precision V. Easy communication. Would happily deal with him again

Fender Squier Pro-Tone 5 string Precision Bass Apart from some tarnishing of the gold around the high-mass bridge, the guitar is in immaculate condition (with no major scratches, dings or fretwear), weighs about 8½ lbs on the bathroom scales and plays beautifully. I'm afraid there is no case or bag but I'll include a leather strap. From the internet: One of the eleven Fender Squier Pro-Tone models produced in Korea between 1996 and 1998, this is the 5-String Precision bass in red, with gold hardware and rosewood neck. The Fender Corporation discontinued the Squier Pro-Tone range shortly afterwards, as it was seriously undermining sales of US-built Fenders, due to the quality of materials used and the high standards of build in Korea (many were built in the Cort factory). Since then, the Pro Tone series has become something of a collector's item in Europe and the US. More information on Squier Pro Tone guitars (including the reviews in 'Guitarist' and 'Total Guitar' magazines) can be found here on: [url="http://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/theprotonepage.htm"]http://www.21frets.c...protonepage.htm[/url]

Just done an exchange with Keith. Loads of communication to sort everything out. I would happily deal with again anytime.

32" Fiver - Warwick Rockbass Corvette - any thoughts?
6feet7 replied to Count Bassy's topic in Bass Guitars
I can't comment on the 32 inch scale but I've a 34 inch Chinese Warwick Rockbase Streamer neckthru and it's wonderful. I have just had all the electrics changed to German Warwick but it was pretty good before and the neck isn't too big and appears extremely stable (in this humid weather) and for a 5 string it's only about 8 1/2 lbs in weight. My only issue is that I have the chance to get a Korean Warwick Starbass 5 and this might have to go to pay towards it otherwise it would be a keeper. -
They look a bit like an active version of the Korean Squier Protone Bass V from the mid 1990's (high mass bridge, humbuckers, light weight). I always swore I'd never play a Fender (or Squier) but it's my go to bass now.

I use this instrument selector. Expensive new (I bought it secondhand) but works a treat

Who on Basschat has the most expensive bass?
6feet7 replied to Jonny Walker's topic in General Discussion
I did have a £7000 GUS G3. I now play a £200 Squier Protone Precision -
Extra bang for your buck from more costly basses?
6feet7 replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I've had a £7000 GUS G3 bass and now play (both secondhand) a £200 Squier ProTone Precision and a £500 Warwick Rockbass Streamer (both 5 strings). There is a difference but not 35 times the difference. If you are a pro then I understand getting top quality. For pub rock I can't see the point. -

I've gone from a £7000 GUS Active Retro (absolutely stunning in every way but I was afraid to take it out of the house) to a Chinese Warwick Streamer 5 (£400 - but I have replaced the internals with German Warwick MEC stuff) and a Korean Squier ProTone Precision 5 (£200). Very very happy with both and can't ever see the need for going for anything much more expensive.

I bought this earlier this year from GAK (£479) as I was looking for something very light weight (which it is) but it's not getting used in the band I'm in so it's last in last out. I've played it twice at home for no more than 30 minutes. I put a set of DR Lowriders on (£30) but will include the D'Adarrio's it came with. I've also got the paperwork/tools it came with but I'm afraid there is no hard case, just an old gigbag. It's as light as a feather (so great for all those shoulder aches and pains) and it's the road worn version.

I've just bought the Ibanez Artcore 5 string (the bashed up looking one). What a sound. Lush, gorgeous and so easy to play (and it's light). B string feels and sounds great too. Why didn't I go shortscale before?
