YES!! There you go….. it sounded absolutely fantastic
-
Yeah me too! My old one had a bizarre double J pickup configuration, both right next to each other in the bridge position. Sounded amazing though, and the action was crazy low with no buzz at all.

Finally, I get my hands on another awesome Warwick. A ‘94 Fortess One, to partner my Streamer. I love these things, I had one maybe 10 years s ago, and regretted selling instantly. So comfortable to play, love it. I’ve already got my eye on a Corvette too…. 🤦🏻♂️

Make me an offer on this…. I’m looking for a DI/drive pedal if that helps? -
Great basses, great company. Very well put together and they play and sound superb.
-
I absolutely love mine, the mistake I made was buying the combo, and we live in upstairs flat 🥵 Oustanding amplifiers. -
Never say never, but I do have something in mind already. -
I love mine. The nearest tone to an upright that I’ve achieved (with flats). I put Gotoh tuners on it, and filed the nut slots down a bit, apart from that, it’s a lovely bass with a ton of low end, and no need for any major upgrades really. Both pickups are great, but the controls are very scratchy regardless of what I do (switch cleaner etc). Nice tidy compartment, MIK Alpha pots, shielded…. great little bass indeed.

I have to go next week! I have customers all over the country….. anyway, don’t feel any pressure from me! 😆
-
Lol…. No problem, I can bring it to you? Unless you live in Cornwall?? Lol

Couple of shots around the back:

The one I said I’d never sell, but for reasons I won’t go into, it’s now available here. I thought that it was a birthday gift from my mum, turned out my family had other ideas and I had something else instead. Anyway, here it is. It’s an absolutely gorgeous Reverend Justice, in lovely condition, pretty rare bass, you don’t see them often. It plays beautifully, sounds amazing, lovely low ish action. It’s a fabulous thing, but I have other plans. I’ll bring it to you within reason, but if you’re anywhere I don’t want to go (😆) then I’m sure we can meet somewhere.

Another great bass, very growly, loads of tone options, basically a Thunderbird in a more manageable shape. Beautiful translucent green/blue, Hipshot tuners fitted, oiled fretboard, brand new strings , ready to go. This thing sounds thunderous. This bass has hardly been played from new, and it deserves some love. As always, I’m happy to bring it to you, within reason, otherwise a meet somewhere near to you, as I hate posting. I’m in Macclesfield.

Fabulous thing, I’ve spent a lot of time on it, getting it to where it is. Lovely low action, active, high output. Lots of highs and lows, almost stingray like. Very clean and clear tone, almost piano like. Medium scale. A few marks and swirls, but y’know 1990s and all that. Brand new strings, oiled fretboard, good to go. Great bass, and you don’t see them around often. Well I don’t anyway. I’ll bring it to you, within reason, but if you’re at the ends of the earth or right in the middle of some god forsaken city like London, we’ll have to meet somewhere. I’m in Macclesfield. Ace bass, needs a new home with someone who will play it. -
We had a second guitarist in the 80s… He was a pain in the donkey. So we auditioned a new guy. During the rehearsal the old guy turned up….. we got the new guy to tell him he was fired, then we fired the new guy too. We’ve been a 3pce ever since. Bands…. Lol
-
Yep, I’m sure, just not for me. I remember a Roscoe Century 5 in particular….. yawn. Beautiful instrument, just soulless. I sold it pretty quick.
-
I’m absolutely sure that Nordstrand pickups are top quality etc etc… However, I’ve had a few basses with them in, and was underwhelmed. I find them a bit sterile and boring, personally. A bit like Markbass amps… same. Personally I think SD or Fender pickups have more colour and character. Just my opinion.
-
Is Mark back from Holiday?
-
Hmmmm appreciate that. I’m trying to obtain more of a Geddy kind of crunch, rather than a Cliff Burton fuzz. -
What are the pros and cons? Never had one, but I need a mild drive, not a crazy fuzz.
-
I actually have a bass here with a twisted neck, albeit only slightly. Warwick basses seem to be susceptible to it. In your case, from the pictures, I do not see a twisted or warped neck. The above advice is good.
-
I have an Instagram page for my artwork, and don’t use it for anything else. It’s just an online portfolio I suppose. I was thinking about another page for just bass stuff, since I ditched my FB page, but I’m not sure I can be bothered.
-
I need to play mine more than I do, absolutely fantastic instrument.
-
I’ve made a ramp, which I’m really happy with, it’s very comfortable to play now, similar to my Ibanez GWB35.

Yeah, I think when it comes to harmonics, rounds may well be the way forward, but I prefer the feel of flats, personally. I have them on quite a few basses. For me harmonics are a bonus, not a necessity, so I guess I have to find a happy medium.
