Over the last few years I have realised the Warwick basses are the best instruments for me. Have owned several high end boutique instruments, including top-end Roscoe and Wood & Tronics instruments, and tried even more, and I have always come back to Warwick. Whilst I am sure I will always succumb to GAS and give other builders a go, I doubt il find anything better for me. The growly tone of the African Hardwoods is just spot-on, and the feel of the wood and the fingerboard is just right. The bridge is a superb design and the (brass) adjustable nuts are a great innovation. A Wal is still on my list of basses to try, though. I fear the day I play an Mk model as it may cause a rethink that I certainly couldn't afford! Number one as of right now is my Warwick Dolphin Pro I from 2010. Superb quality, completely changed my view on non-vintage Warwicks. Has a superb range of tone with the electronics that seem to be able adjust to any mix in a variety of styles, perfect weight and balance at 9lb 3oz and just suits me in every way. Most gorgeous use of ovangkol I have ever come across too . It will be tough to better.

No reason why not. Corvette MECs are the silver type and are passive so no issues there. Providing they fit, go for it! If you don't like it, swap them back!

I am still searching for a mild overdrive that I really can say is my favourite; I find they vary so much depending on what bass goes into them. Particularly struggle with active basses. Heavy drive/distortion, B7K. Fuzz, my custom Cog pedal has a modified Grand Tarkin circuit which just sounds fantastic. It's a completely subjective thing, and will vary depending on playing style, context and just general personal preference. I suspect they will all be named here

[/quote] He gives discounts to BC members and has a number of stock fuzz/drive circuits to play with. Get in touch and see if he can do something for you!

I did with both a 3 and 7K. I preferred 9v in the end, 12v just slightly lowered the gain and allowed a little more headroom, not worth the extra power supply effort for me

Just stick to the Dolphin!

Putting aside the differences and apparant 'Limited'ness of flatwounds, surely the quality and playability of a bass is just as important as the tone? Generally speaking, a £3k Sadowsky P will feel a whole lot better to play than a £100 Chinese P copy.

What is your budget? You would do a lot worse than giving Cog effects a message

I feared you may say that! So tempting to order, wish I had ordered one the same time as the b7K now, can't justify US shipping costs twice On a related note, Prymaxe have a 20% sale at the moment! as opposed to the usual 15%. Makes things much cheaper,even with duty/vat added.

But the OC-2 is analog and was replaced by the digital OC-3. Both the original and new bass whammy are digital. It will be interesting to see what the new one sounds like in comparison! As you rightly say, the WH1 has kept its value and I am sure the bass whammy will too. May not be the best time to sell though, but it's the risk you take I guess!

[quote name='BigBassBob' timestamp='1388078927' post='2318363'] Two actives and two passives. The only active that I have to treat a little differently is my American P V that had an Aguilar OBP 3 in it (big, big output... was clipping my PWNZOR until I turned the input gain down and played a little lighter). [/quote] The reason I went for passive is that I found my Pwnzor worked [i]m[/i][i]uch[/i] better with passive electronics than active; to be more exact a passive Precision than the two active Warwick basses I had whilst I owned it. From what Spencer has said, 'Your're Doom' works equally well with active and passive basses, can you attest to this?

Really considering You're Doom, and I have a new B7K on the way (sold to fund my Cog, but decided I cannot do without it). The Pwnzor and Proton are not quite for me, do use use a passive bass, by any chance?

Not for this forum, this one. Please repost in the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/21-other-musically-related-items-for-sale/"]Other Musically Related Items For Sale[/url] forum if you are still looking to sell

Nice tone you got there! I felt the same about the SubT, and mine was probably the first in the UK and had the bleed issue, It did sound good with the Xerograph Dlx, but not really with anything else.I think Taylor should bring out a pedal utilising both of those circuits, as the SubT seems a little specialist alone.
