Decent price, these came before the Rockbass range but are german built, necks on them are the same as any BO warwick around that time, great value basses. -
PMT are USELESS!

I must have missed where I said or even remotely suggested that every member of staff of an organisation was at fault for a summary of 'useless' to be made. FWIW, a variety of staff on the support pages, email enquiries, telephone enquiries, unspecified bham shop staff and the warehouse manager have let me down, hence my conclusion.

As my signature says, or at least used to say before the upgrade (can't check easily on my phone) , when my font is black it is my own opinion, only in red do I act on behalf of or represent the intent of the forum. My own view is that PMT have, on this occasion, behaved in a manner I deem 'useless' and I am entitled to that opinion. Clearly, PMT is useful to other people, just not on this occasion to me.
To say I am attacking the organisation is, well, absurd. Feel free to discuss with me by Pm if wish to discuss this further.

I'v never measured my action..not interested really! I lower to the point of perfect balance between playability and string noise for me, its entirely subjective

Bump, with actual pic : -
Lovely! Perhaps the new pickup is at the neck rather than the bridge, looking at the EMG logo?? -
DSM Noisemaker Omnibcabsim Deluxe analog cabinet simulator pedal. Excellent unit, perfect for recording and direct to PA live, as well as home practice with aux in and headphone out. Also works incredibly well as a preamp, particularly with fuzz and distortion pedals. In great condition. Blurb: A cabinet simulator is a device designed to emulate the frequency response of a speaker system. Guitar and bass speaker systems have a very pronounced filtering effect, rolling off the low and high frequencies very sharply due to their physical and electrical properties. Things like cone size, material, impedance, enclosure size and type, even distance from a wall, affect these filters very noticeably. Features: The Philosophy behind the design is to allow the user to CREATE their own cabinet response settings, moving away from the typical preset cabinet simulators in the market. This approach let the musician to define his own sound and getting an accurate reproduction of it when recording and playing live gigs, without depending on mic placement, amplifier or cabinet availability. Just dial in your favourite tone, tune your cabinet response and go straight to the PA or recording gear!! Mic and Line output. Compensate levels with the gain control. Tunable high frequency response emulates the steep low pass filter that different speakers produce. Tunable Low frequency response that controls the low end roll off typical of speaker of various sizes. Tunable low frequency resonance lets you dial the resonance of the low end roll off point, reproducing the effect of closed or open back cabinets, and anything in between. Mid control lets you dial “modern” or “vintage” responses. Punch control boosts the 800 Hz band, that lets you cut through the mix with warmth Bit of a wait to buy one of these new, grab a good deal here. Cheers! Stock:

Darkglass Alpha Omega, surplus to requirements so looking for a new home! Around 9 months old, lived on my pedalboard so has Velcro but great condition with box. Loads about this on the web, incredibly versatile distortion box with two great circuits built in. Think fuller B7K, capable of much lower and much higher gain. Its a beast. Price includes special delivery shipping. Cheers Stock image:

YES, thats going to be a stunner!

Glad you like it mate, its not quit like any other Warwick I have had, and I don't think Iv heard one sound better!
-
Just traded basses with Steve aka @JBP, pleasure to deal with in a classic basschat services meet. Enjoy the $$ mate! Kev
-
The Barts and the MEC pre marry so well together, really quite surprising how well. Has made me consider Bart J's in my thumb.. -
Yeah there are certainly good ones, but with such increased production in those days its not too surprising QC struggled Pro's are good basses, but of course not comparable with the equivalent top end models. The current masterbuilt instruments are top, top notch.

Cheers mate. Still one eye on your Streamer...

Up for sale I have a Warwick Corvette $$ German Dealer Limited Edition from 2010. Incredible bass and very rare with only 80 made, I haven't seen another over here exactly like this, particularly with the barts and 3 band Mec. Has the wonderful new slimmer Warwick neck profile, gorgeous Tigerwood top, lovely figured Swamp Ash body. This bass has twin Bartolini Humbuckers and a 3 band Mec active/passive preamp with series/parallel/single switches for each pickup. I haven't come across another $$ with this spec, it sounds amazing. Natural darkness of barts and Super brightness of Mec combining magnificently. In great condition, bit of the usual string burn on the pup covers but no other noticeable wear to speak of. Brass Just a nut III, black hardware and lightweight, its a great bass but I'm after a Thumb or Streamer as a backup to my main Thumb. Located in Leamington, comes with the Warwick user kit and a Warwick gigbag. I'll sort pics out ASAP for those interested, here is a quick one for now showing the gorgeous grain: Trade wise, Warwick only please. Thumb, Dolphin and Streamer, cash adjustments where necessary

There certainly are a few lemons, try before you buy as with any bass. Then again, some awesome basses were built during this time. Basically, Warwick started taking more and more cost saving measures during the nineties, culminating in all basses being machine built instead of handmade, no brass, cheaper Ovangkol wood and general ergonomic changes that favoured mass production. Modern day Warwick still has machines building the basses, but brass/wenge is back, as is the thinner neck profile and a general sense of quality.

Which was the GAK one, hopefully not the corvette??

FS/FT Warwick Thumb NT 4 *PRICE DROP* £1400 ***SOLD***

Nothing like a Thumb, exceptional instruments! -
I think one of the issues was they pumped out so many of them between 2000 and 2008 Ish. If you look at classifieds, many are from this era and they really varied in quality, some great and some awful. I think the quantity and quality control effected prices a lot, and the brand as a whole too. The rockbass range contributed to this too. They have improved a lot and produce nowhere near as many basses out of German now, so QC I'm sure is better than ever. Newer models don't tend to end up on the 2nd hand market much, and when they do they are still pretty expensive, or at least more in line with other brand depreciation.

Nah, SSII were never £1,500 in 2008, they were over £3k by that point. £800 is V expensive for a standard Vette; for comparison Ill be shortly selling my 2010 LTD Bart equipped tigerwood topped $$ version for under £1k for a bass rrp around 3 times more... Keep an eye out on eBay and the classifieds here, youlll get one for less or something much more high end for the same or a little more.

Nice, tried stacking the two Alphas? I feel it wouldn't really add much using the same sides, but Omega going into alpha sounds interesting...
