LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) [color="#000080"][size=5]Not anymore, withdrawn.[/size][/color] I dont want to post it overseas, sorry.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.

warwickhunt Posted January 20, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share 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 Share 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share 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.

LukeFRC Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share 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.

LukeFRC Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share 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.
