[quote name='Legion' timestamp='1391342706' post='2355917'] It does exactly that sound - I need to put this bass under the bed and not take it out again. I'm already feeling twitchy [/quote] Wow. This doesn't help my fretless GAS! -
[quote name='Torben Hedstrøm' timestamp='1391364114' post='2356248'] My Warwick Dolphin pro 1 (1991, broadneck 5 string)... It took a little getting used to, but now I just won't do without it... Comparing apples and oranges a bit... But I do miss my Elrick NJS 5 string. Completely different in most ways to the Dolphin, but the Elrick did have alot of appeal to me !. My newly acquired Human Base fretless 5 is not completely without sex-appeal either though Have to agree on the 'Warwick statements' though... Fantastic basses, and very very tonally/ergonomically different model to model. Never got on with the Thumb, although I really really wanted to like it !. Considering getting a Streamer Stage II, but looking at the combination of woods, I would it is very close to my Dolphin Pro 1. So no hurry there [/quote] Two votes for Dolphin, woop! On the subject of SSII and Dolphin, I have both and they are quite different, quite different indeed.

A litle background:I have owned basses by Musicman, Fender, Status, Warwick, Roscoe, Wood and Tronics and many cheap imitation brands, all of which I have sold for one reason or another. I purely play bass as a hobby for home use and recording and I am not in a band. My favourite bass is one I currently own; My Warwick Dolphin Pro I. This bass has a most wonderful combination of wood and looks just superb. The neck is slim and feels fantastic. The electronics and pickup combinations and options give a vast array of sounds, all pickup settings and EQ settings appear to be usable, which I have never come across in a bass before. Balances perfectly. It' s a fantastic bass. On a broader scale, Warwick instrument just fit me. The growl is unmatched and the different woods for the various models all add something different to the sound. I did enjoy my Roscoe bass and the build quality was stunning, but it just didn't have the tonal character that Warwick instruments have.

Still using George L, bought mine from Prymaxevintage when getting some pedals, worked out cheaper

If it's anything like the video, it sounds superb.

[quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1391337487' post='2355830'] or like this.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwEDgSECGiU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwEDgSECGiU[/url] [/quote] For Fender players, that is what a 26th fret sounds like -
Collected the bass from the shop yesterday, fretboard and frets have been levelled and the bass is now setup wonderfully with a low action. Iv had a couple of trade offers but I must stress again that, whilst John's Dolphin is still available, this is strictly for sale at £1400 plus shipping only. -
Well it must sound rubbish then!

[quote name='sifi2112' timestamp='1391209272' post='2354712'] I can vouch for this combo as I bought it new a few years ago, traded it along with 9B ext cab when I wanted an all valve head & ended up trading valve head for my old PJB combo Funny how things go ... Anyway I sprayed it cream btw & think it looks great. I only sold it coz I needed the money (wedding costs etc) & was no longer in a band. I did keep the 9B cab tho ... Kev was great to deal with so buy with confidence & like he said you can remove the head & use with any cabs right down to 2 ohms (720w I believe) ... awesome amp that PJB still make & great customer service [/quote] Cheers mate -
Welcome

Check the neck. Fret the E at the first and last fret, and measure the distance between the fret and the string about halfway up the neck. That is your relief. Anything more than 1mm and the neck is not set correctly. In any case, you should generally not be able to play a bass with the bridge completely bottomed out as the strings would be laying on the frets. Something is wrong.

Ah, my old Zoid. Lovely bass, electronics are superb, pickups really responsive and the preamp is the most powerful I have used. GLWTS -
A real stunner, would love to try an ACG -
You know, I have 4 Allen keys in my W user kit and only use 2, no idea what the other two are for! Lovely bass

Andy Irvine has done a couple of videos on it now, it does sound really good

A certain fretless Dolphin...

Try to keep things on topic guys, keep things fair in here on the bumping front

[quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1391036122' post='2352647'] You'd kill all the dolphins! [/quote] Dolphins are between the 'frets' I believe, so no Dolphins would be harmed
-
Such a wonderful bit of wood when will you be selling it to me?
-
If it is then by gum let me know
-
One thing is certain, there are certainly no Dolphins leaving my possession

Cash Price: £1400 Trade Value: £1500 Warwick Streamer Stage II, 5 string built in 2003. Gorgeous example, classic SSII tones as heard in many recordings. I have fitted a Brass Just a Nut III and had it set up professionally by noise-works with a full fret dress and level for a low action, is now a cracking bass. Lovely Afzelia bodywood and Ovangkol neck as standard. Lightweight for an SSII, believe it to be around 9lb 3oz but I will check. Really comfortable to play and balances perfectly. In great condition, a few dings here and there but nothing noticeable at all, bit of discolouring on some of the hardware but again nothing to worry about. Electronics faultless. Bass should come with its original handtags and tools, pending the previous owner sending them over to me Bit of an uncertain sale; the feel isn't quite right for me and I am really not a five player. After fitting the (bloody expensive) Just a nut to replace the plastic one (will include in sale), getting the professional setup and including a quality Ultimate gift bag ([url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Ulitimate_Bags_Stands.html"]http://www.bassdirec...ags_Stands.html[/url]), I think £1,400 is an extremely fair cash price for a quick sale. Trade value will be more like £1500-£1600.
