Il just add that it does only distort if i really dig in hard; my normal playing will not trigger it. Its more common when using a pick hard too.

Recently acquired an Old Warwick with EMG pickups, one J and one P type. Whilst i am having no issues with the J, the P pickup is producing some distortion. If i have the pickup at a normal proximity away from the strings, EQ on the bass flat, when initially attacking any note on the bottom two string (E and A) hard, there is a distortion, less than half a second or so but very much there. Looking online, this is typical of the preamp in the bass being overloaded, or the battery being low. Given the EQ is flat i cannot see how it can be the former, and i have tried numerous fresh batteries with the same results. Also tried with two different sets of strings and ruled out my Amp being overloaded. Screwing the pickup right down almost as far as it will go removes the distortion, but obviously a lower output comes with it which i don't really want. All original electronics as installed in 1988 so should all be compatible with one another so i doubt pot values are a problem. Anyone any thoughts? I vaguely remember having a similar problem with an EMG P type pickup in a bass i owned many years ago, and not sure the problem ever really resolved itself.

Can't interest you in trading the filter for an Aguilar TLC? -
and a pic [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/Snapbucket/78588F78.jpg[/IMG] No box but in great condition, just a slight mark in the logo -
Yeah and when I decide I need compression again I will buy another without hesitation Will also consider the 3leaf wonderlove, groove regulator etc.

[quote name='Mr H' timestamp='1358608842' post='1942141'] Love to see the figures for those fourteen (so far) declined offers. I bet not all of them were entirely serious. [/quote] I bet not one of them was entirely serious.

Kev replied to Prime_BASS's topic in Effects For Sale
These sound interesting, any notable improvement to recording tone? -
[quote name='Voodoosnake' timestamp='1358608249' post='1942128'] It is indeed Kev. Any interest to you? [/quote] This afternoon i picked up a 88 SS1 so i think the missus would not allow further Warwick shopping! But who knows, if it hangs around too long.... Good luck with the sale
-
Yeah, preamp for each side of the pickup, awesome stuff
-
Looks the part, wonder how this will compare to the wren and cuff civil war model!
-
Fantastic compressor, the best I have used to my ears, wonderfully transparent and can do the full range of slight to full on squash! Also works great as a limiter. I don't really need a compressor so it's a waste me having it, so I'm looking to trade. Ideally looking for a quality envelope filter but will consider anything. Trade value with roughly the same RRP would seem about right! Let me know what you have

Looks like a lovely bass, this the one with the 2 preamps in??
