Sounds fantastic, what a band too!

Yup, looks like they're coming in a bit cheaper https://www.thomann.co.uk/tobias_growler_v.htm If its a proper US bart setup, its not too bad.

A1. I have used active and passive basses over the last 8 years or so without issues. A2. I use a GLXD16 and a guitarist in one of my bands uses GLXD16+, so more restricted bandwidth than you're talking about and never had a whisper of an issue. I have however found that some 2.4ghz IEM systems can clash, but that shouldn't be an issued with a +.

Love the Growler, but £1500 for what looks like on the face of it a bass built to the same standard as other sub £800 far east basses in likely the same factory - no ta.

Somehow, this shocks me more than the scale length 😅 Who makes strings long enough for this?

You often see Reverb sellers do this for a few days. They then reduce the price and Reverb flags it as a 50% discount or whatever it may be.

Cioks DC7 puts out more than enough for any Sushi pedal. Worth noting though, you may get away with a lower ma supply than Nathan states. His pedals have a current draw that's a good 40% more during warm up, once warmed up the draw drops off, so you'd probably get away with it if you don't mind it being a bit iffy when first turned on. There's plenty of chat about it in the T**k***s thread.

To be fair, from that description it seems like a very faithful copy all round!

Same as the 4's really, the NT has a deeper and slightly more scooped tone, the BO has a bit less low end and more pronounced high mids. Its all quite subtle though.

Ocean Blue is a lovely finish, I think its the flame that's really setting it off here though!

No probs. You may be fine with it, but just try it first! I usually have no issue with neck dive, but the BO thumb 5's are something else entirely, especially when combined with how far away the first fret feels on these basses due the small bodies. Conversely, a NT 4 is my fave Warwick despite the mild dive!

Great basses, very unique sound, the most "Warwick" Warwick bass. Main con of the BO 5's is the neck dive. Its horrific and notably uncomfortable, at least on the ones I've owned/tried. I completely fell in love with a mid-00's one I had when playing with it sat down. When I put it on a strap, it was listed for sale the next day. NT models much improved. I haven't tried a post-2013 one so they may have improved it, definitely a try before you buy if live use is planned.

Most of the time people know exactly what they're doing, but I think sometimes people genuinely don't accept what they're doing is beyond personal sales as well. We have people on here argue until they're blue in the face that they're not traders when asked if they need a commercial membership, be it through devious or denial means...I think I saw one of them had a stand at a recent Guitar show 😅

Anything from our eclectic mix would be cool - "Tau" is our most recent 👍

Nope, nothing. Have you tried messing with levels in the i/o menu? If you're getting white noise out of the box though, doesn't sound right. With a closed noise gate, mine is as quite as you could want it to be.

In fairness, it was extremely predicable it would go this way, especially following your rather tongue in cheek use of the word "bargain" 😅 That being said, I don't think anyone has been rude, its just an open on-topic discussion.

Just a little heads up - no real issues discussing this fella here, but please don't post any direct links to the basses he's selling. He's more than welcome to come on here and advertise them

Just goes to show its how you use it, as there's nothing non-Darkglass about the capability of this one, just a digital Alpha Omega with additional octave and routing.

To be fair, if he's not making a profit on most of those, he's had a nightmare...

I just meant doing that would make it absolutely sure it was the tube 👍

Could that be an indication the tube is microphonic? Try opening up the finally when it's on and connected to an amp and gently tap the tube, see what kind of sound it sends through the amp, if any.

I'm sure if everything came down 10-20% he'd have an easier time of it, but if they've been up for ages then I guess he has the retailer mentality at the mo!

I mean to be fair, that mostly follows the body line/contours 😅

It's all top dollar for sure, but quite a collection!

The only one I can see in that link does? Looking at other pictures of other Retro's, I do feel like it has the new body edge contours? Which may be causing it, or causing the illusion. Either way, its odd that they wouldn't just copy the bass its a reissue of when they did everything else. BUT who cares, they're lovely basses otherwise.
