LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) [color="#000080"][size=5]Not anymore, withdrawn.[/size][/color] I dont want to post it overseas, sorry. The two basses in my avatar are up for grabs. [s]Fantastic Fender Japan '57 P bass, US version with alder body and US pups. Previous owner upgraded pots and jack socket to US made ones, I stuck the gold annodised scratchplate on. I still have the original. Sounds fantastic! £400 or offers....[/s] Warwick Streamer from '91, bought off wawickhunt 6 months ago. Great bass, plays good (small neck) I just cant get on with the tone of the thing so up for sale. the daftly low bargin price of £600 for folk on here. or a trade of at least £300 my way and something interesting (obviously the whole trade worth about 600 or so) (Hit me with what you've got.) fingers crossed. More info and pictures when I get back from work. I'm in edinburgh if you want to have a go. Luke (oh and if you think Im asking too much a nice PM telling me what the value of this stuff is will make me happier than. "IMO you will never get that much" type posts ) Edited January 31, 2009 by LukeFRC
warwickhunt Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I can vouch for this Streamer, the tone may not suit Luke but it is typical early Warwick 'Sound Of Wood' growl. Good luck with the sale Luke.

If it's the Streamer, here's one pic that I have from when I owned it.
budget bassist Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Urgh, i was GASing over this the first time it was on here, i'm GASing even more now with the prospect of possibly being able to afford it!

LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Ok.... everything's going on at once here. will just go and reply to your PMs....
LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) right..... lots happening at once.... streamer on hold, someone's going to have a wee look on friday for a [i]possible[/i] sale.... i guess some pics of a p bass would be nice too? Sorry for the quality, it gets dark in scotland early..... BLURB WOT I WROTE: I bought it secondhand from Japan and the previous owner had upgraded the pots and jack socket from stock to branded USA made ones (switchcraft) and stuck an 'orange drop' capacitor in. I upgraded the scratchplate from the singleply white one to a gold annodised aluminium one which I imported from the states and had fitted professionally. Both scratchplates come with it. It's has one or two knocks nothing major and the shaft of the tone pot is damaged under the knob. Its been bodged with a bit of cork for a year or so now though. Soundwise it is great. It has the classic P bass thump and sounds fantastic even straight into a DI box. It feels great and has a lovely neck. The last pic tries to show some dings. Edit: also i want to be fair and point out all its minor faults. Look at the pic with the close up of the body. small dink just above the pup. you can also see one of the screws is slightly off center. This is because the pickgard has less holes and one of them is a fraction out of line. The pickguard was fitted by a pro though. There is a 2mm or less knock on the bottom side (ie G string side) of the neck between the nut and 1st fret. Visible on photo. almost new Status hotwire round core med-heavy strings. Oh and it sounds amazing. Edited January 20, 2009 by LukeFRC
LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 umm if the warwick sells first then [i]maybe[/i] trades on the P bass. As it is Im after cash for something else...
mogli66 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 No problem.....if the P-bass sells first give me a shout if you're looking for trades on the Warwick. I take it you are selling the Warwick for £400?

LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 oops took the price off to make it simpler then went to score it out and forgot. this bass selling and buying is quite confusing.... lots of messages!
LukeFRC Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Hello I think all PM's have been replied to, if I missed you I am sorry. At the moment both basses are on hold pending sales going through and so on... my fingers are crossed but if everything falls through then they will be back up....! That was all very fast!
LukeFRC Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 Fender sold to Brick (ross) who seemed really happy. Warwick still on hold for now for a few weeks while someone local tries to get his money together....
LukeFRC Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 Righty ho then, he didn't want my warwick (it wasnt on the board so I was asking a bit more for it) So warwick back up again, I will go through my PMs and see if anyone offered. I'm not overly keen to send it outside the UK at all (i dont trust postal systems!) So the daftly low bargin price of £600 for folk on here. or a trade of at least £300 my way and something interesting. Hit me with what you've got.

Where are you in Scotland? If you are bothered I have £300 worth of Rockinbetter ( lol ) badged as a Rickenbacker that I will never look at again. Edited January 26, 2009 by dazco
LukeFRC Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Part of me thinks if I hold onto this for a bit its value can only go up, but who knows. so bump for a billy bargain and hit me with any interesting trades. Old/or odd stuff is interesting
LukeFRC Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) bump for the bass buying hordes on a Saturday.... Screw it, its not worth me selling it. My old one at £600 seems a we bit daft compared to a new one at £3k or whatever they list it at mow. I [i]think[/i] i can afford not too sell. I sold my fender to afford the JV squier, it was a bit more but i think the bank manager wont be ringing me, just no big holiday. so there. Withdrawn. Edited January 31, 2009 by LukeFRC

How's the JV coming along?
LukeFRC Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 being posted on monday. very excited and really really hope it is better than the P bass i just sold! oh er!
lee650 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Dont blame you for keeping the warwick mate, ive not been able to sell mine unless i reduce the price to ten bob and a pickled egg, so im keeping it as ive played warwicks for 11 years and think they are great, just a shame they arnt very vogue!! at the mo. Congrats on the jv i have one and love it dearly, they seem to quite popular at the mo. All the best mate- lee being posted on monday. very excited and really really hope it is better than the P bass i just sold! oh er!
josh3184 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 good choice with keeping the warwick man, I wish I still had my streamer!
